As others have said, Blaziken - Speed Boost is the BEST starter as of right now, and imo, Protean froakie is 2nd best. Admitted his early movepools without TM is terrible. However, after getting surf, dark pulse, and access to move tutor Icy Wind ( yes, Icy Wind, the often ignored 65 power that reduces speed) he can single handedly win gyms. My protean swept through the last 3-4 gyms with ease. Icy Wind wrecks Ciel. The only condition needed for Froakie is high IV in SpA, and Speed so he can outspeed majority of pokemon (EV train isnt all that important)
