There are a lot of Pokémon out there, and in Legends: Z-A, there are plenty roaming the Wild Areas in Lumiose City. However, there's a bit more to it than wandering around if you want to get your hands on the Pokémon ZA Kanto starters.

Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle are the very first Pokémon you can get in the original games, maintaining a place in the hearts of trainers worldwide. So let's go over how exactly you can obtain them.

How do I get the Pokémon ZA Kanto starters?

If you want to get Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur, you need to head to Mable's lab for a side mission; she'll message you shortly after the first time you beat a Rogue Mega Pokémon.

Once there, she lets you choose whether you want the fire-, water-, or grass-type Pokémon. Depending on which Pokémon ZA starter you choose, you may want to opt for a different type. So, if you start with Totodile, you might want to pick Bulbasaur or Charmander to broaden your team.

Don't worry too much about who you choose, though, as you can still complete your Pokédex later on. You can find Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in the final Wild Zone of the game; however, you must complete the main story to access it.
