Starters
The starter screen offers one category, Cobblers, with 5 Pokemon, each at level 5. This page shows what each becomes and when. Kubfu and Type: Null need items to evolve or change form: each one's are under its own heading.
Tiers. Every line has the same three tiers:
- Tier 1, the form the starter screen gives you at level 5.
- Tier 2, a stronger form at level 30. You can first reach it on the way to gym 3, holding 2 badges.
- Tier 3, the final Pokemon at level 45. You can first reach it on the way to gym 6, holding 5 badges.
Tiers 1 and 2 are the same total for all five, so the lines differ in how their stats are spread, not in how many. Tier 3 is the standard final Pokemon. Your level cap is the next leader's ace (Trainer battles), which is why a tier waits for a badge. When your starter qualifies, the game offers the evolution; you can wait.
