Pokemon Legends Z-A is coming in 2025, and you’re probably wondering which starters will be available. The moment you choose your first Pokemon is always significant. That’s the one that stays with you for the entire voyage, even difficult battles and gym tasks.

It’s likely that older Pokemon will return because the game takes place in an earlier era of Lumiose City. However, there may also be new choices. These five beginning combos might be in store for you in Legends Z-A.

1) Treecko, Chimchar, and Totodile

This group would be an excellent pick if you enjoy older Pokemon. Sceptile, Treecko’s last evolution, already possesses a Mega Evolution. You might be able to use it once again if Legends Z-A concentrates on Mega Evolutions. Infernape, Chimchar’s evolution, is among the most widely used Fire-type starters ever. It might become much more powerful in a Mega version.

Although Feraligatr, Totodile’s final form, has never undergone a Mega Evolution, what if it did? A design reminiscent of Godzilla might make it a true powerhouse. Its moves would be further enhanced by an ability like Tough Claws or Strong Jaw. There haven’t been many recent Pokemon games featuring Treecko and Totodile. This can be your chance to pick them up again if you’ve been waiting.

2) Litten, Mudkip, and Grookey

Mudkip is an excellent choice if you prefer strong water types. One of the greatest fight options available is its last evolution, Swampert, which already has a Mega Evolution.

Incineroar, Litten’s evolution, has been a significant combatant and even appeared in Super Smash Bros. A Mega Evolution might take it in a completely different route, although some players didn’t like the wrestling design. The focus of Grookey’s development, Rillaboom, is music. Mega Evolutions might have a wild rockstar look or a larger drum set if they make a comeback.

You get both fresh ideas and a sense of nostalgia from this trio. Playing with this group can be enjoyable if you enjoy variation in your starts.

3) Piplup, Snivy, and Fuecoco

It’s possible that you have already seen this trio on the internet. In some 2025 Pokemon calendars, Piplup, Snivy, and Fuecoco are seen together. Many fans believe they might start in Legends Z-A because of that.

Piplup’s last evolution, Empoleon, is the ideal Pokemon if you’re looking for one that reflects Kalos’ past. Based on Napoleon Bonaparte, it might appear even more like a military leader with a Mega Evolution.

Serperior, Snivy’s last incarnation, has a refined and noble appearance. Its collar’s fleur-de-lis emblem is a clear reference to French culture. You may notice certain design adjustments to better suit the area if Legends Z-A gives it a Kalosian form.

Fuecoco’s evolution, Skeledirge, is a newer Pokemon, but it could easily get a Mega Evolution. If you like spooky fire types, this could be a great choice. This group has strong historical ties, so if Game Freak wants to connect the game to Kalos’ past, this could be the lineup you get to choose from.

4) Torchic, Sobble, and Turtwig

Due to its availability as a bonus Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y, Torchic has a history with Kalos. Blaziken, its evolution, was among the first Pokemon to receive a Mega Evolution. This might be your chance to employ Mega Blaziken once more.

Torterra, Turtwig’s evolution, is a huge turtle that carries an environment. That might become spectacular with a Mega Evolution. On its shell, a rocky mountain or a whole mini-forest might develop.

Inteleon, Sobble’s ultimate form, already has a Gigantamax form that emphasizes its spy motif. It might become even more ostentatious with a Mega Evolution, perhaps including a high-tech enhancement to its finger pistol attack. This trio would give you a mix of strategy and cool designs. If you like Pokemon with strong battle potential and unique themes, this would be a great lineup.

5) Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie: The Original Kalos Starters

The original X and Y starters may make a comeback because Pokemon Legends Z-A is set in Kalos. Delphox, Greninja, and Chesnaught have never had Mega Evolutions. Mega Evolution is based in Kalos, thus this might be their moment. This could be your chance if you’ve been waiting for Mega Greninja. In place of Mega Evolutions, Game Freak might also give these Pokemon regional versions. That would keep them recognizable yet give them a new look.

Additionally, they might not be the starters and instead show up in the wild. Legends Arceus used its Hisui starters in a similar manner. Instead of choosing one at the beginning, you can wind up catching them. If Game Freak wants to keep things simple, this would be the easiest choice. If you love the Kalos starters, this might be the lineup you get.

What Will You Choose?

Your starter Pokemon is one of the biggest choices in any Pokemon game. Pokemon Legends Z-A has the chance to bring back old favorites, introduce new twists, or do both. Do you want a mix of generations, a return to Kalos classics, or something completely unexpected? Whatever the lineup ends up being, one thing is for sure—you’ll have an amazing adventure ahead.
