Pokemon is one of the most profitable franchises worldwide, and its presence over several decades has allowed us to enjoy various installments of video game and a long series animewhich is still valid today, so the key to success is present in all projects related to Pokemon and its striking creatures.
Something that we find quite striking is that, the Fourth generation of Pokémon brought us an evolution in the lore of the franchise, being that way Game Freak we were introduced to Pokemon who held the rank of deity in this universe. Of course, it could also be seen how the initial Pokémon had their leading role, since the combinations of the type of torterra, infernape Y Empoleon They caused everyone to be weak and at the same time strong among themselves, this being something that has not been repeated in the saga.
And it is just one of the initials that must be talked about, since now we can see that Empoleon is the protagonist of a curiosity related precisely to its types, since it was one of the best Pokémon of the fourth generation and that it is also the final evolution of Sinnoh’s favorite starter Pokémon is the only Pokémon with the Water/Steel combination.
Empoleon’s Water / Steel combination is unique in the saga
It should be noted that this is something quite special due mainly to the fact that, with over a thousand registered Pokémon to date, Empoleon is the last starter with a unique type combination, since Torterra was, after all, another Pokémon that he enjoyed this privilege (unlike Infernape whose Fire/Fighting-type combo ended up irritating many fans of the series). However, with the arrival of Toedscool and Toedscruel, this unique range of Pokémon has come to an end.
Be that as it may, it must be said that Water and Steel is a great combination, being weak only against Electric, Fighting and Ground, as well as immune to Poison and resistant to most of the type table. And all this must be said knowing that, despite not being as popular as Infernape, the truth is that Empoleon has earned a place in the saga, since it has been a Pokémon that has made appearances in titles such as Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia as in Pokkén Tournament.
Given this, it will be necessary to see if the foreseeable DLCs of Pokémon Scarlet and Purple make Empoleon lose its unique quality, but until then let’s remember that we can see this Pokémon in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Shiny Pearl and in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
