Which Alola Starter Is Your Favorite Based On The Middle Stage Only?

[Tepig Pignite Emboar 969]

I know this has been done before, but I was thinking of making topics and polls of my own on which starter is your favorite based on each form. Now remember, each of you will obviously have opinions on this and I will have mine as well.

So this topic is which of the Alola starters do you like based on their middle stage only? Mine is Torracat.

I do like Brionne, but I went for Torracat since I think it looks cooler than Litten and is one of the better middle stages overall. Like Popplio, I feel Brionne gets too much undeserved hate.

I would say Torracat. I especially like it as Ash's Torracat when it battled. The Incineroar battle with it was epic.

Torracat is the coolest, nothing about Poplio's line appeals to me and Dartrix is a letdown compared to Rowlet and Decidueye

Brionne is my favorite! I think it's absolutely adorable. Torracat's easily my second fave and I'm not a fan of Dartrix.

Torracat for me. It's not high up on my list for these things. But it's less awkward compared to Quilladin and Pignite that get ridiculously chubby/fat designs.

I suppose that Nyaheat (Torracat) comes the closest to being my favorite. I simply don't like the other two, so Nyaheat is essentially my default answer as a result.

Dartrix cause I have a grudge against the Litten line (don't ask) and though I used the Popplio line in my first playthrough, I just think Dartrix and Rowlet are so much cooler to me now. I have a Dartrix plushie on my bed as well. I love its design so much.

I've always liked Dartrix I don't know why. Some players thought it was the ugliest of the trio but I think it's okayish. Torracat and Brionne are fine too.
