      Better odds of surviving until hospitalisation than eating a Flamethrower or Fire Blast

        Razor leaf is like having hundreds of knives thrown at you simultaneously. Hydro pump you basically die almost instantly. There’s a reason water jet can be used to cut metals.

          The water jets they use to cut metal only work because the stream is so narrow. Hydro pump is more like getting hit with multiple full-blast fire hoses at once

            Blastoise Pokedex entry reads as follows: “The rocket cannons on its shell fire jets of water capable of punching holes through thick steel.”

            and the entry of Mega Blastoise: “The cannon on its back is as powerful as a tank gun. Its tough legs and back enable it to withstand the recoil from firing the cannon.”

            I’m pretty sure thats enough force to kill someone instantly.

              enough force to kill someone

              It’s never enough to kill you. A water jet comparable in power to a tank shell hits you in the face, you’re maybe gonna faint at worst. A literal God brings down the fury of heavens upon you, and you’re just knocked out cold with a bruise that the local ER can heal free of charge.

                What do you think a water jet strong enough to cut steel is going to do against flesh and bone?

                  This explains it in great detail

        A firehose for comparison is usually minimum 200psi. Close up would hurt really badly but the chances of dying aren’t great. At 20ft away you’ll just get really wet. Their numbers aren’t wrong but the analysis of what the numbers mean is probably pessimistic for the Charizard.

        I do always feel rather safer drowning in water vs a mile in the air or at a volcano. But I’m afraid of heights and allergic to lava so I may be biased.

    Pick Charmander, it eventually becomes Charizard which is

    big lizardy looking thing has large wings breathes fire

    and also

    is not Dragon type cannot learn Fly

    Gen 1 was great but it often didn’t make a lot of sense.

      I think this is completely intentional design. Picking charmander was literally intended to be the OG challenge run
