Good evening Kevin., when starting with a lesser the better base ones are about 280-300HP 180-200str and 105-114 wrest... These are the tamed stats of course.. They are the high ticket point investment items... and can award you an extra 300-900 points in savings to make the pet a better 5 slot for starting with these guide lines.. hope this helps.. if ya have anymore questions feel free to ask.. =^-^=
