Pokémon Legends: Arceus breaks from tradition in many ways, and that includes how you get your starter Pokémon. The age-old problem of picking just one companion to start your journey with has a surprising and welcome solution in this game. So, can you get all three starters in Pokémon Legends: Arceus?

Yes, you can get all three starter Pokémon - Rowlet, Cyndaquil, and Oshawott - in a single playthrough of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. You don’t need to trade with other players or start a new game to catch 'em all. This is a fantastic feature for collectors and anyone who has a hard time choosing just one starter.

How to Get All Three Starters

There are a few ways to get all three starter Pokémon in the game. The main method involves completing the main story.

1. Finish the Main Story

Once you’ve completed the main story and the credits have rolled, head back to Jubilife Village. Find Professor Laventon in his office, and he’ll give you the other two starter Pokémon that you didn’t choose at the beginning of the game. It’s as simple as that! I remember feeling so excited when I realized I didn't have to say a permanent goodbye to the other two. It was a great reward for finishing the game.

2. Space-Time Distortions

Another way to find the starter Pokémon is in space-time distortions. These are random events that can happen in any of the game's areas. When a space-time distortion appears, you'll see a notification on your screen. Inside these distortions, you can find rare Pokémon, including the three starters.

I have to say, this method is a bit of a grind. I spent a good few hours running around the Obsidian Fieldlands waiting for a space-time distortion to pop up. When one finally did, I was thrilled to find a Cyndaquil inside! It’s a great way to get the starters if you want them before you finish the main story, but be prepared to be patient.

3. Pokémon HOME

If you have Pokémon HOME, you can transfer the starter Pokémon from other games to Pokémon Legends: Arceus. This is a great option if you have a friend who is willing to trade with you, or if you have the starters in other Pokémon games.

So, there you have it! You can get all three starter Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. It’s a great feature that makes the game even more enjoyable. If you’re having trouble deciding on what is the best starter in Pokemon Legends Arceus, this should take some of the pressure off.
