Gen 1 Pokemon Locations

On this page, you’ll find the complete locations for every Generation 1 Pokemon available in the Pokemon Z fangame. This guide is dedicated exclusively to Gen 1 entries, while Pokemon from other generations are covered on their own separate pages linked below. For easier navigation, the guide also includes dedicated sections for starters, new regional forms, and legendary Pokemon so you can quickly find the most important encounters.

Note: Before moving on, be sure to check out our other location guides as well. We’ve created dedicated pages for each generation’s Pokemon, along with separate guides for all Legendary Pokemon and Fakemon. Exploring those pages will help you find every Pokemon location quickly and complete your collection with ease.

All Gen 1 Pokemon Location

Note: If a Pokemon is obtained through breeding, make sure the parent Pokemon are not holding any items to obtain it.

Note 2: Any evolution methods involving day or night depend on the system’s internal clock. You do NOT see nighttime in the game.

Note 3: Pokemon numbers correspond to Pokemon Z and not the official numbering; many will be the same, but some will be altered.

Note 4: The methods for obtaining Legendary Pokemon are better explained in “Legendaries and Locations,” so it is recommended to check there.
