Known as the Virtuoso, ISTP’s are curious, kind, and confident which makes a wonderfully interesting Pokémon trainer. So what would the best party selection be for you?
To find out what MBTI® personality you fall under you must take a short test. This test is unlike any other in the sense that it tells the reader more than just what they enjoy. Your MBTI® explores your strengths, weaknesses, loves, hates, and even your relationships with friends and family. Which is why its the perfect way to figure out your ideal Pokémon group.
If you got ISTP then you come under the label of Virtuoso which opens up to an extremely interesting personality type. They are extremely curious people who love to take things apart and put them back together, they are extremely hands-on and love to explore using their hands, eyes, and everything in between. ISTP stands for Introverted, Observant, Thinking, and Prospecting which is an ideal personality for a Pokémon trainer.
6 Pyroar
This lion fire-type Pokémon is a protective and sociable companion that will help you catch them all and win most battles. Pyroar is known for relentlessly protecting its cubs and keeping a watch over its pride whilst threatening anyone who challenges its standing in the world or its pride.
What makes this pairing so perfect is how similar the two really are. One of the main things that an ISTP looks for in companionship is loyalty, and nothing is more loyal than the king of the jungle. Moreover, ISTP’s are known for getting so excited that they often act too soon and rather spontaneously, so with a regal and respectable Pokémon like Pyroar, you can make sure you’re making the right decision.
5 Grookey
This adorable Pokémon may not be the strongest grass-type but it is one of the best choices for a starter in Pokémon Sword and Shield. However, it isn’t just convenience and ease that makes this cute monkey a perfect partner but it’s personality as well.
Most ISTP’s value loyalty so having a buddy to spend time with and evolve with as you play the game is deal, especially since both are so excitable and curious. Grookey is known for being a particularly sociable and curious Pokémon, often running off to explore or picking random things up to take a closer look. As an ISTP, it’s easy to resonate and laugh at this adorable monkey which allows you to both be as curious as each other.
4 Lugia
Lugia is an incredible legendary bird, but whilst it’s undeniably powerful, it’s also surprisingly peaceful and calm when it needs to be. Just like its trainer, it’s typically the one who stops the fighting rather than getting into them, with Lugia being renowned for stopping the fighting between the three legendary birds.
One of the things that ISTP’s stand by is “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” which is why having a companion that is so selfless and peaceful makes sense. They are both fair in their rulings and decisions and will strike down anyone who disrespects them or wants to test their power.
3 Flygon
One of the most interesting facts about this dragon-type is that its wings make a singing sound when it flys. Nevertheless, Flygon is an awesome Pokémon that is known for being intelligent and extremely sociable. Two of the things that this personality type certainly identify with.
ISTP’s love being sociable but are often rather private with their feeling, however with the way Flygon and Krookodile hunt together, it may inspire its trainer to form a strong bond with another person rather than shying their feeling away. Flygon and ISTP’s would work like clockwork and will dominate any battle they choose to compete in.
2 Toxtricity
This electric-type is an interesting one, purely for the multiple forms it can have but that’s just what this personality loves, they enjoy spontaneity at the right moment and will look forward to working with an awesome Pokémon like Toxtricity. Both share similar personality traits in the sense that they can often be unfocused when it comes to being at school or learning more academic things, preferring to get their hands dirty and be more practical with their learning.
Both live their lives building up energy and then releasing it into the world, becoming extremely hyper or spontaneous or turning into an Amped Form rather than a Low Key Form. Nevertheless, both can work well together once they’ve synced up their energy allowing them to become a force to be reckoned with.
1 Moltres
This is one of the most awesome Pokémon in the game, especially since its a bird made out of fire. Moltres is a badass fire/flying-type Pokémon who has a calm demeanor and an extremely powerful aura surrounding it that will easily wipe out any opponent that you come near.
Both absolutely hate people interesting in their freedom or personal values and will destroy anyone who questions them in that sense. Whilst ISTP’s are kind and friendly people, everyone likes a good bit of power behind their Pokémon party, which is why Moltes is such a wonderful addition to any ISTP.
