Pokemon Legends: ZA has brought back Johto as the starters, allowing you to get your hands on "Chikorita" iconChikorita, "Totodile" iconTotodile, and "Tepig" iconTepig. And while that’s cool for some of the old school 90’s kids, younger generations also have their favorites. Luckily for all of us, you can get multiple starters by playing through Pokemon Legends ZA.

Here’s how to get all Kalos and Kanto Starters in Pokemon Legends: ZA. Image via Gamer Guides / Nintendo.

How to get Kanto starters and Gen 1 Pokemon

If you’re looking to grab the other starters, then Wild Zone 20 is absolutely bonkers. The area is fairly large, and it has a lot of different spawns in its area. So, you’ll be farming this region quite a lot. To get access to it, you need to progress the main story. This is how you gradually unlock more wild zones in the game. This one is very far into the main story, so it will require a bit of a main story push to reach it.

In terms of the Kanto starters, you can get the following:

You can also get other Gen 1 Pokemon from here too, including the likes of "Raichu" iconRaichu, "Alakazam" iconAlakazam, "Gyarados" iconGyarados, some evolved Eevee forms like "Jolteon" iconJolteon, "Flareon" iconFlareon, and "Vaporeon" iconVaporeon. There’s also some high profilers like "Gengar" iconGengar, "Dragonite" iconDragonite, and more.

It is also worth mentioning that the other starter pokemon for Pokémon Legends ZA can spawn here too. So, if you want to grab all starters, this is the zone for it. Each one has a roughly 5% chance to spawn as an alpha, including the Kanto starter Pokémon too. So, you can get some good spawns from this Wild Zone.

Kalos Starters

To get Kalos starters, complete Main Mission 5. You will then be able to explore the city a bit more. From here you can do the following:

Starter Side Mission Location
"Chespin" iconChespin Side Mission 7: “"A Feisty Chespin" iconA Feisty Chespin Rouge Sector 2 near the Centrice Pokemon Center
"Froakie" iconFroakie Side Mission 9: “"A Challenge from Froakie" iconA Challenge from Froakie North of Juane Pokemon Center in the north boulevard.
"Fennekin" iconFennekin Side Mission 8: “Get well, "Fennekin" iconFennekin Magenta Sector 2 - near the Magenta Plaza.

Hopefully this helps you get the starter Pokémon for the other generations that you like. We have guides if you need help completing the Froakie and Fennekin missions too.
