How to Get Other Pokemon Legends Z-A Starter Pokémon

At the very start of Pokemon Legends Z-A, players are given a choice between three pokemon to start with: Totodile (Water), Chikorita(Grass), or Tepig(Fire).

After completing Main Mission 37, which can only be accessed after rolling credits, you will unlock Wild Zone 20. This Wild Zone is home to all three starting pokemon in Pokemon Legends Z-A, allowing players to finally collect 'em all.

Wild Zone 20 also houses several starting pokemon from other Pokemon games, including the original trio of Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander.
