How to find Froakie, Chespin, and Fennekin in Pokémon Legends Z-A

It's time to return to Kalos, with the thrilling new entry in the monster-taming franchise, called Pokémon Legends Z-A. However, unlike Pokémon X and Y, your starters this time are Chikorita, Tepig, and Totodile, continuing the inter-generational trend started in Pokémon Legends Arceus.

If you're one of the many folks hoping to find the original X&Y starter trio, namely Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie, you are thankfully in luck. There are a couple of different ways to find the Kalosian starters in ZA, so we're detailing them all right here.

Where to find Froakie

How to get the Kalos starters in the wild in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Can Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie be Shiny in Pokémon Legends Z-A?
