Best Evomon Starter — Bubble vs Blazpup vs Leafbun
Last updated: 2026-07-01
Bubble (Green Egg, Water) is the best Evomon starter for 90% of players. Water beats the Verdant Valley rock boss and dominates Lava Crack. Blazpup for damage lovers who accept a rougher start. Leafbun for control players.
Starter Comparison Table
Bubble (Ibiramon) — SS Tier · Water · Green Egg
Evolution: Bubble → Bubboxer → Bubblade
Pros: Type advantage vs Verdant Valley rock boss; dominates Lava Crack fire zone; SS-tier on community PvE boards; safest dungeon carry at launch.
Cons: Less exciting if you want glass-cannon gameplay.
Pick if: You want the fastest, smoothest launch-week progression.
Blazpup (Hatybaemon) — S Tier · Fire · Blue Egg
Evolution: Blazpup → Blazgrowl → Blazmane
Pros: Highest burst damage; strong anti-Grass slot later; satisfying offensive playstyle.
Cons: Rock/Ground enemies everywhere in Verdant Valley; needs Water helper caught early; first boss is harder.
Pick if: You will catch a Water type by Petal Pond and accept slower early pacing.
Leafbun (Tatamon) — S Tier · Grass · Yellow Egg
Evolution: Leafbun → Leaforge → Leafblade
Pros: Sustain and control; strong Grass coverage for Water/Rock/Ground later; rewards patient play.
Cons: Slowest opening island clears; opening biome favors Water over Grass.
Pick if: You prefer defensive play and don't compare every minute to Bubble speedruns.

Practical Pick Rules
- Default to Bubble unless you have a deliberate reason not to — codes, bosses, and Lava Crack all reward Water first
- Blazpup requires a plan — budget Advanced Balls for Clampip or keep Bubble as second slot before Verdant boss
- Leafbun is viable, not optimal — commit fully; half-switching wastes D50CREW stones
- Redeem codes before picking — EXP Fruits go on your starter immediately after tutorial
- Starter = main carry until ~level 35 — see one-target EXP rule
