<\/p>\n
Name: Rowlet \nCategory: Grass Quill Pok\u00e9mon \nHeight: 1 ’00 ” \nWeight: 3.3 lbs. \nType: Grass\/Flying \nStarting Move: Leafage<\/p>\n
The first of the potential partners is the highly adaptable Grass Quill Pok\u00e9mon, Rowlet. This Pok\u00e9mon can fly silently through the skies, sneaking up on its opponent without being noticed. It can attack its opponents using powerful kicks, and it can also attack from a distance using the razor-sharp leaves that form part of its feathers. Rowlet can survey its environment and turn its neck nearly 180 degrees from front to back, so it can see directly behind itself. When in battle, Rowlet turns its head to face its Trainer when waiting for instructions.<\/p>\n
Name: Litten \nCategory: Fire Cat Pok\u00e9mon \nHeight: 1 ’04 ” \nWeight: 9.5 lbs. \nType: Fire \nStarting Move: Ember<\/p>\n
The cool-headed Fire Cat Pok\u00e9mon, Litten, is the next choice for a first-partner Pok\u00e9mon. Litten\u2019s fur is rich in oils and is immensely flammable. It constantly grooms itself by licking its coat, collecting loose fur into balls. It then ignites these hairballs to create fireball attacks. When the time comes for Litten to molt, it burns off all of its fur in one glorious blaze.<\/p>\n
Name: Popplio \nCategory: Sea Lion Pok\u00e9mon \nHeight: 1 ’04 ” \nWeight: 16.5 lbs. \nType: Water \nStarting Move: Water Gun<\/p>\n
The third possibility is the acrobatic Sea Lion Pok\u00e9mon, Popplio. Popplio can create balloons made of water from its nose and utilize them to create a variety of different strategies and attacks in battle. This Pok\u00e9mon is better at moving in the water than on land, and can swim at speeds over 25 mph. On land, it uses the elasticity of the balloons it creates to perform jumps and acrobatic stunts.<\/p>\n
