Guide: Capturing Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl

How to Catch Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have brought back some of the beloved starter Pokemon: Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. If you want to catch these iconic creatures, here’s a simple guide to help you out.

1. Bulbasaur

To catch Bulbasaur, head to Route 204 in Eterna Forest. Look for the patch of tall grass near a small pond. You have a chance of encountering a wild Bulbasaur here. Remember to always keep some Poke Balls handy to capture it successfully.

2. Charmander

Charmander can be found in Route 203 near the southern entrance of Jubilife City. Look for a trainer with a Pikachu that’s standing next to a tree. Talk to the trainer to initiate a battle. Defeat this trainer’s Pikachu, and they will gift you a Charmander as a reward. Make sure you have an open space in your party before starting the battle.

3. Squirtle

Squirtle can be obtained as a gift from Officer Jenny in Jubilife City. After obtaining the Coal Badge and obtaining access to Route 204, head back to Jubilife City and meet Officer Jenny at the fountain. She will give you a Squirtle as a token of appreciation for your help.

Remember to save your game before attempting to catch these Pokemon, as it will ensure that you don’t lose any progress. With this guide, you’ll be able to add Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle to your team in no time. Good luck on your Pokemon journey in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl!
