Getting Chespin in Pokémon Legends: Z-A can be tricky if you don’t know where to look, since it isn’t available through the main story. While the game features different starter Pokémon compared to those from Pokémon X & Y—set in the Kalos region’s Lumiose City—the Kalos starters do return in this new core game.
Not only do they come back, but their final evolutions also gain new Mega Evolution forms. You can find Mega Greninja, Mega Delphox, and Mega Chesnaught in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, but you’ll need to catch the respective starter Pokémon first. The good news is, you can obtain these starters fairly early in the game with minimal effort.
Where to Find Chespin in Pokémon Legends: Z-A
Complete a Special Side Quest to Get the Kalos Grass-Type Starter
Chespin is locked behind a side quest called Side Quest #007: A Feisty Chespin. After completing Emma’s initial questline, which involves three missions, you’ll unlock more side quests, including this one. The quest takes place in the Rouge zone, north of Rouge Sector 2, near Hibernal Avenue.
During this quest, you’ll see Chespin attacking a taxi near an NPC named Axi. Axi explains that the Chespin is eager for battle, which is a key part of this side quest. To finish it, you must fight and defeat Chespin three times in a row.
Once you’ve defeated Chespin three times, you’ll complete the quest and earn Chespin as a reward, along with 1,000 Pokémon Dollars, three XP Candy XS, and one XP Candy S. Because this side quest is available early, Chespin will likely be at a low level, just about ready to evolve into Quilladin.
