Best Evomon Starter (July 2026): Pick Blazpup — or Bubble for Comfort
Last updated: July 16, 2026 · Reflects endgame & mode viability tier update
Best long-term starter: Blazpup (Blue Egg, Fire) — only starter still B tier on the endgame board. Easiest early game: Bubble (Green Egg, Water) — beats both launch bosses, then falls to C tier. Leafbun is viable but slowest. Real endgame carries are catches like Lavite and Tarro, not your egg.
Starter Comparison Table
Bubble (Ibiramon) — Easiest Start · Water · Green Egg
Evolution: Bubble → Bubboxer → Bubblade
Pros: Type advantage vs Verdant Valley rock boss; dominates Lava Crack fire zone; smoothest early progression by far.
Cons: Falls to C tier in the endgame — Water coverage is common and its late stats don't keep up. Plan to replace it as carry after mid-game.
Pick if: You want the fastest, smoothest early progression and accept swapping carries later.
Blazpup (Hatybaemon) — Best Long-Term Starter (B Tier) · Fire · Blue Egg
Evolution: Blazpup → Blazgrowl → Blazmane
Pros: Highest burst damage; the only starter that stays relevant on the endgame board; strong anti-Grass slot later.
Cons: Rock/Ground enemies everywhere in Verdant Valley; needs Water helper caught early; first boss is harder. If you farm Sparkit (A tier) early, it outperforms Blazpup as your Fire slot.
Pick if: You will catch a Water type by Petal Pond and want your starter to matter past mid-game.
Leafbun (Tatamon) — Patient Route · 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
- Bubble for comfort, Blazpup for the long game — Bubble clears islands fastest but drops to C tier late; Blazpup stays B tier into the endgame
- Blazpup requires a plan — budget Advanced Balls for a Water helper before the 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, with the party stripped to that one Evomon (EXP is shared)
- Your starter is a vehicle, not the destination — endgame carries are catches like Lavite, Tarro, and Arcub; don't dump every stone into the starter line
Frequently Asked Questions
Bubble (Green Egg, Water) for the easiest early game — it beats both early bosses super-effectively. Blazpup (Blue Egg, Fire) for the long game — the only starter still B tier in the endgame, where Bubble falls to C.
No — choice is permanent at launch. Plan before Mentor Ben's egg selection.

Green = Bubble (Water), Blue = Blazpup (Fire), Yellow = Leafbun (Grass).
Looks are fine — but know Blazpup and Leafbun need more route planning than Bubble.
