Unlock Rare Gen 4 Sinnoh Starter Pokémon in Teal Mask DLC - Exclusive Guide!

How to get a Gen 4 starter early on

Step into the lush outskirts of Mossui Town, where you'll encounter an intriguing character named Jacq, cleverly concealed behind a cluster of trees. Once you've reached the town, Mossui, your quest begins by locating three informative billboards scattered throughout the vicinity. These billboards offer a fascinating glimpse into the local history. Before progressing towards your primary objective, venture eastward from town and venture into the tree-covered path. As you navigate through nature's embrace, you'll stumble upon your very own homeroom teacher, Jacq, whom you thought would not be joining the journey. Engage in a heartwarming picnic together, which concludes with Jacq bestowing upon you a special egg as a token of appreciation.

Jacq can be found hiding behind trees and requires careful observation as it only appears when you approach the area. To hatch the egg and discover one of the three initial Sinnoh region Pokemon, namely Piplup, Turtwig, or Chimchar, you must spend some time exploring with the egg in your party. The Pokemon you receive from the egg seems to be purely random, with Reddit users confirming that the game version does not influence the outcome.

Since the Pokemon you obtain is random, you can technically reset the game if you don't receive your desired Pokemon. However, remember to save before obtaining the egg, as the contents of the egg are predetermined and not influenced by the hatching process. It's worth noting that the Sinnoh starters are not recorded in the Kitakami Pokedex, meaning you won't encounter these Pokemon in the wild.
