They made sure to fix that with Empoleon. Every starter from gen 4 through PLA had at least 100 special attack, and the one that didn't in gen 9, Quackwhatever, bombed.

Torterra? Serperior? Chesnaught Incineroar? Rillaboom? Cinderace? Hisuian Decidueye?
And for Gen 9, Meowscarada doesn’t have it either

Oh, ok, you meant every WATER starter.
But in that case the point is nonsensical anyways because grass and fire are special types as well, water is not unique in that

Blaziken and Swampert had physical types(Fighting and Ground) so one of the starters had to focus on special.

Because gamefreak hates us that’s why.
They’ve had so much time to fix it but never did.

A physical attacker with a good defensive typing that makes it decently bulky.
There's a reason a majority of water starters are tanks, typing isn't just about offense.

You mean specifically the water starters here, right? Not every single starter?

Then his point made no sense, as water starters were only brought into it as an example of other special types getting physical starters
