In the 
Indigo Disk, you can encounter and catch every single starter Pokémon (aka First Partner Pokémon) from previous generations. So, this means everything from Gen 1’s 
Bulbasaur to Gen 8’s 
Sobble.
How to Unlock the Starter Pokémon¶
Before you can find the starter Pokémon, you’ll need to do a little legwork. Initially, the Terarium biomes aren’t properly equipped for these Pokémon to inhabit, so you need to upgrade them.
Your chance will come within the first hour of the game. After you meet Lacey and catch an Alolan form Pokémon for your first class, you’ll get a call from Carmine to meet her at the Central Plaza. Next, after thrashing Carmine yet again, you’ll meet Drayton who leads you to the League Club.

From then on, you can access the PC at the League Club to support Blueberry Academy’s various clubs by spending BP, earned from Blueberry Quests. One such club is the Terarium Club, who need help upgrading the four biomes. You’ll find four requests such as “Boost biodiversity in the Savanna Biome!”, each costing a whopping 3000 BP.
Getting that much BP needs a guide in itself, but the quickest way is to team up with other players online (requires a paid Nintendo Switch Online subscription) or locally (requires real friends who live nearby). Otherwise, you’ll just have to grind, grind, grind!
Starter Pokémon Locations¶
After paying BP to upgrade a biome, a fixed selection of starter Pokémon will start appearing there, like regular wild Pokémon. They spawn somewhat rarely, so you may want to eat the appropriate encounter-boosting sandwich or meal (Fire, Water or Grass).
