easy: SQUIRTLE, because squirtle was my very first starter, i.e. my starter starter.
medium: RALTS, because this is the pokemon i have the strongest affinity toward. feelings pokémon. genderweird. lil cutie. i think we could be good for each other – maybe even the very best, like no one ever was – in a "generative resonance" kind of way.
hard: ASTER is what i would name this pokémon, although a quick google search tells me this is also the name of a character in the pokémon universe… let's just say that doesn't matter. its type is PSYCHIC and it takes the form of a ⁂ that sort of hovers around and its deal is doing stuff like confuse ray to kinda stall out a battle until the moment it gets an opening to do like ONE REALLY BIG HIT that brings the other pokemon down to critical health and then they just do a little boop on the next turn or the opposite pokemon confusedly hits itself and faints.
ASTER evolves into DINKUS at level 54, at which point it gains the FLYING type for some reason.
