Who can be your partner
The official Pokédex, fetched 29 Oct 2026, says all 966 Pokémon from 9 regions can be your partner. You get them as a starter or from the gacha, and the same species also appear as wild enemies, bosses, and rift legendaries.
The same page groups them as Kanto 151, Johto 100, Hoenn 135, Sinnoh 107, Unova 141, Kalos 70, Alola 83, Galar 87, and Paldea 92. Those nine counts add up to 966.
The guide FAQ says tickets cannot be bought with real money. Bosses and rift legendaries sometimes drop ×10 tickets. Completing a region’s Pokédex, legendaries included, gives that region’s Shiny Charm.
The achievements page lists First partner as owning 1 Pokémon, and Pokémon Professor as owning all 966. This guide does not print a best-partner order.
The personality quiz and the 29 starters
The Pokédex HTML fetched 29 Oct 2026 tags 29 species with the word Starter: the nine regional trios, plus Psyduck and Slowpoke.
starters.js lists the same 29 numbers, each with a default starting move and two personality traits. The first trait is the one the result weights double.
starters.js scores an eight-question test. The result names the highest-scoring trait. The suggested partner is the starter with the highest total of twice its first trait plus its second trait. If several starters tie, the file picks one of them.
test.js shows the suggested partner on the result screen. One button confirms that species. The other button, source string Elegir otro, opens a grid of every starter under the source string Selecciona un Pokémon. The suggestion starts highlighted. Confirming grants that species and sets it as your partner.
lang-en.js translates those controls to Choose another and Pick a Pokémon, and describes the set as “The starters from every region, plus two more friends.”
The English language file translates the quiz traits as Brave, Impulsive, Cautious, Loyal, Patient, Sweet, Shy, Mischievous, Serene, Clever, Cheerful, Tenacious, Proud, Loner, Calm, and Chaotic. Brave is the English string for Valiente. News on 27 Oct 2026 says those trait names had been stuck in Spanish and are translated now.
News on 19 Oct 2026 uses Confusion on Psyduck as the example of a default move that is not the partner’s type, which you can return to after buying Starting move.

Natures
News on 21 Oct 2026 says every partner has a nature, ±10% to two stats, shown on its collection page. A Mint from the Kecleon Shop changes it.
natures.js lists 25 natures. Five are neutral: Hardy, Docile, Bashful, Quirky, and Serious. The other twenty raise one stat 10% and lower a different stat 10%. The stats are Attack, Special Attack, Defense, Special Defense, and Speed.
The file dates the nature data to 20 Oct 2026 and credits TheAdro7’s pull request, using PokéAPI. The same credit appears in the 21 Oct news post for the shop.

Shiny partners
The shinies page says almost all 966 Pokémon have a shiny form. A wild spawn is shiny at 1 in 4096. A rift legendary is shiny at 1 in 512. A gacha pull is shiny at 1 in 100, or 1 in 50 on a banner whose region Shiny Charm you own.
The same page says a gacha shiny does not repeat while you are missing another of that rarity. Only after you have them all does a duplicate shiny pay triple PokéCoins. Once you own the shiny, you can play as it from the collection.
News on 12 Oct 2026 says you can pick the normal or shiny version of your partner from the main menu, under the partner, once you have it.
No creature sprites on these Hub pages.
