The Johto first partner Pokémon in Pokémon the Series

The Johto first partner Pokemon are the trio of Pokémon—Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile[1]—chosen by Trainers at the start of their journey in Johto. These are traditionally given out by Professor Elm and are to be used to battle the first wild Pokémon that the Trainer encounters.

In official contexts, the group is referred to descriptively in several ways, including "Johto first partner Pokémon"[2], "first partner Pokémon of the Johto region"[1], and more.

In the Johto-based core series games, the player can choose a Fire-, Water-, or Grass-type first partner Pokémon at level 5.

Other methods

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Cyndaquil is one of the Hisui first partner Pokémon.

In Pokémon Colosseum, the evolutions of the Johto first partners are available as Shadow Pokémon from Mystery Troop members Verde, Rosso, and Bluno who each have the Pokémon corresponding to their color. They are first encountered in Phenac City where the player must choose one to battle; if that person's Shadow Pokémon is not caught, they will later appear at Realgam Tower. The person whose Shadow Pokémon is weak to the first person that was chosen will appear at Snagem Hideout, while the last person will appear at Shadow PKMN Lab.

In The Indigo Disk DLC, the Johto first partners can be caught in the wild at the Terarium. They are unlocked after upgrading the biomes through the League Club Room.

In the anime

Vincent, Marina, and Jimmy with their Johto first partner Pokémon

Pokémon the Series

During the Johto arc of the original series, Professor Elm gave away four of the Johto first partner Pokémon to new Trainers. Casey and Vincent both received a Chikorita, Jimmy began his journey with a Cyndaquil, and Marina was given a Totodile.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

In Pokémon Adventures, Professor Elm originally loans, and eventually gifts Cyndaquil to Gold. This is the only Pokémon which he gives out, however the other Johto first partner Pokémon are shown in his possession. A Totodile is stolen by Silver, which Gold is tasked with rescuing, whereas Chikorita runs away from the lab to join Crystal's team.

Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys

In Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys, much like Pokémon Gold and Silver, Gold is offered the choice of one of the three Johto first partner Pokémon – Chikorita, Cyndaquil or Totodile – to borrow so that he may run an errand for Professor Elm. Gold chooses Totodile, which Elm allows him to keep after the errand is completed. Also, like in the games, Black, who is based on Silver, steals a Chikorita from Elm's lab while Gold is away on his errand.

Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure

In Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure, Professor Elm gave Jō a Totodile, and Tsubaki a Chikorita. Although Professor Elm is not seen handing it out, he also gifts Cyndaquil to Trainers.

Trivia

  • The Johto first partner Pokémon are the first trio where they do not gain a secondary Type when evolving or be a dual type.
  • Typhlosion is the only fully evolved Johto first partner Pokémon to have a regional form.
