The Kalos first partner Pokémon in Pokémon the Series

The Kalos first partner Pokémon are the trio of Pokémon—Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie[1]—chosen by Trainers at the start of their journey in Kalos. These are traditionally given out by Professor Sycamore 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 "Kalos's first partner Pokémon"[2], "first partner Pokémon of the Kalos region"[1], and more.

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

Pokémon the Series

In Pokémon the Series: XY, Professor Sycamore hands out the Kalos first partner Pokémon to new travelling Trainers. In this series, the Kalos first partner Pokémon were distributed to Ash, who chose Froakie, Clemont, who was given Chespin and Serena who chose Fennekin. It is worth noting that Froakie cycled through several Trainer's but kept getting returned to Professor Sycamore. It was also shown in the Mega Evolution Specials that Chespie the Chespin was Mairin's first partner.

Pokémon Evolutions

In Pokémon Evolutions, Professor Sycamore appeared with Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie in The Visionary inside the Sycamore Pokémon Lab.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

At the start of Pokémon Adventures, Professor Sycamore sends the three Kalos first partner Pokémon to Trevor. When he went to get the package though, Xerneas and Yveltal were fighting and ended up sending Fennekin's Poké Ball flying. This was eventually found by Team Flare and taken by Malva. After some initial doubts, X chooses to travel with Chespin and Y travels with Froakie. Fennekin eventually evolved into Delphox and ended up with Whitley.

  • Fennekin is the only unevolved first partner Pokémon to have unique base stat total.
    • It also has the lowest base stat total of any first partner Pokémon.
