The next Splatfest will answer an age-old, hotly debated question: Which Pokémon starter type is the best?
Splatoon 3 introduced three-way turf wars to its competitive Splatfest events, making it the perfect venue to settle this debate. Grass-type, Fire-type, and Water-type teams will face off starting on Nov. 11. You’re not just playing for your team, but for the love of your first and/or favorite starter Pokémon. (Go Fire-type team!)
Grass-type. Fire-type. Water-type. This debate has perplexed our great philosophers for ages. Let’s settle it.

This Splatfest will also coincide with the release of the newest Pokémon games, Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, which are set to hit Nintendo Switch just a week later on Nov. 18. Like basically every other mainline Pokémon game, Scarlet and Violet will prompt players to pick from one of three starters — Water, Grass, or Fire. And if you’re torn between the adorable Sprigatito, the feisty Fuecoco, or the stylish Quaxly, why not let the results of this upcoming Splatfest help you decide?
