You’ve got the region, now its time to find that perfect companion to help on your adventure. No better way than to use your own MBTI® personality!
An MBTI® is a short test that helps the reader understand more about themselves and how they work. Unlike a typical personality test, your MBTI® teaches you about your strengths, weaknesses, loves, hates, and relationships with family and friends. All this information helps anyone make some pretty challenging decisions.
Choosing the perfect region is challenging enough so when it comes down to finding that perfect party or the ideal companion it’s super important that you get it right. The player wants to work well with the Pokémon as well as strive to achieve the same goals. This can only be done if the player and the Pokémon are the same personalities, which can be dictated by an MBTI® test!
16 INTJ: Milotic
INTJ’s are extremely open-minded and analytical when it comes to games and life in general. Rather than striving to complete the game or win every battle, this personality typically focuses on catching ’em all and will undoubtedly succeed.
Milotic is extremely similar to this personality and loves approaching battles with an analytical frame of mind, which is a wonderful tactic. Both have the same goals and are undeniably perfect together.
15 INTP: Mudkip
It would be wrong to not add in this adorable little starter. However, this pairing just works. INTP’s are imaginative, enthusiastic, and can sometimes be a little private, preferring to keep their ideas behind closed doors.
However, with an adorable and energetic companion like Mudkip, its trainer will be brought into the spotlight they deserve. Together Mudkip and INTP’s can push their enthusiasm into the world and brighten everyone’s day.
14 ENTJ: Sceptile
As Treecko’s final evolution, ENTJ’s can do what they enjoy and what they do best, build a strong and powerful relationship. This personality loves being efficient and enjoys forming the unbreakable bond you get from a fully evolved starter.
As for Sceptile, it’ll never let its trainer down and will use the same efficient and strong-willed personality to succeed in anything they set their mind too. These two mixed in with that personality is a recipe for success.
13 ENTP: Shelgon
This rather underrated Pokémon would make a wonderful addition to any one party, but it would undeniably work best with an ENTP.
This is because they are both so knowledgeable and quick at coming up with different ideas to win at battles or overcome challenges. Whilst Shelgon isn’t the most powerful in the Pokédex, it would make a wonderful companion for an ENTP and will certainly make your game great.
12 INFJ: Gardevoir
Gardevoir is a wonderful and almost regal-looking Pokémon who fits perfectly in with an INFJ trainer. This is because both are so passionate about their goals and use their determination to inspire everyone around them.
Whilst having that kind of responsibility is challenging, many INFJ’s find themselves uninspired so they need someone of the same personality to help bring that back. That’s where the wonderful Gardevoir comes in.
11 INFP: Torchic
This is easily one of the cutest starter Pokémon and also one of the best choices for an INFP. Whilst Torchic is cute and a starter, it seems to be the best selection for an INFP, purely because they are both so similar.
Both are extremely open-minded and hard-working, succeeding at anything they put their mind too. However, since they are so hardworking they often come across as too selfless which can be taken advantage of. But you always have Torchic to watch your back.
10 ENFJ: Rayquaza
Rayquaza was the mascot for Pokémon Emerald and is undeniably a perfect match for any ENFJ out there. This is because Rayquaza is extremely reliable and selfless which is exactly what its ENFJ trainer is looking for.
Since Rayquaza is the mascot and the leader of the Hoenn region, it just makes sense that it would be put with a trainer with the natural leader trait. All in all, both are natural leaders, reliable and extremely selfless, making this a perfect pairing.
9 ENFP: Medicham
This awesome and underrated Pokémon would be a perfect match for any ENFP looking for a Hoenn companion. This is because of how observant and curious Medicham is.
ENFP’s pride knowledge and love analyzing situations before going into a battle so, with a companion who does that, you’ll easily win battles! Moreover, ENFP’s are known for finding it hard to focus so you need a Pokémon like Medicham to snap you into place when needed.
8 ISTJ: Kyogre
ISTJ’s are extremely strong-willed and are typically people who enforce order. They enjoy doing things by the book and can often be seen as rather stubborn when asked to stray from their norms.
Having Kyogre by your side will be a wonderful addition to your party and will serve as a reminder to always stick to your guns and your ideals but to also let go a little and enjoy the freedom surrounding you.
7 ISFJ: Meditite
Meditite is an extremely hardworking Pokémon who is known for training for hours a day, and never skipping its daily yoga training which shows a level of dedication that is exactly what ISFJ’s are looking for.
Being so hardworking and supportive themselves, ISFJ’s can use Meditite to the best of its abilities, whilst also understanding the way it works perfectly.
6 ESTJ: Groudon
Groudon is one of the most badass looking Hoenn Pokémon and is a perfect match for those with an ESTJ personality. Mainly because they would work like clockwork together and dominate the battlefield.
Both are extremely dedicated to doing the right thing, they are extremely organized and ESTJ’s love to plan their next moves carefully. Whilst Groudon isn’t exactly the thinking type all the time, it can certainly execute any plan its trainer has.
5 ESFJ: Latios
One of the main traits that come with being an ESFJ is being warm and kind. This personality loves sticking with their sense of duty to others and can often find themselves being far too selfless towards those who abuse it. However, Latios is far from those kinds of people.
It’s known that Latios prefers compassionate trainers and opens its heart to them. This is perfect for ESFJ’s as they love the kind of connection that this pairing will provide. Both will have a deeper understanding of each other than any other pairing.
4 ISTP: Flygon
Flygon is a wonderful Pokémon that often gets forgotten. Most think it’s useless whereas true fans know that Flygon can come in pretty useful! Every Pokémon has its uses and ISTP’s are easily able to draw out that potential.
Being so energetic and spontaneous, this personality is great at drawing optimism out of the most pessimistic people and is guaranteed to bring Flygon into the spotlight. Even though this Pokémon isn’t the best, when working with an ISTP, Flygon is wonderful.
3 ISFP: Salamence
Unlike Flygon, Salamence has to be one of the most popular Hoenn Pokémon. It is well-loved and rightly so since it’s both powerful and a great companion, especially for an ISFP.
This personality is known for being charming and extremely passionate about their craft. Therefore they will be perfect for bringing Salamence out in the best situations and fighting with strength and passion.
2 ESTP: Mawile
This adorable Pokémon has a dark side and is perfect for those ESTP’s who just love a little chaos in their gameplay. This personality is known for being extremely impatient and defiant when it comes to order and rules being forced upon them.
They love causing a little trouble and no one can help you like the deceptive Mawile. Together you can both put on a calm and rational face whilst you wait for the reveal of a deadly and defiant side in battle.
1 ESFP: Treecko
ESFP’s will work perfectly with Treecko since they are both so bold and have such wonderful people skills. Especially when it comes to convincing people to help them.
When these two work together they become a force to be reckoned with to catch all those Pokémon, since conflict is something they mostly avoid.
