Another 20 new Pokémon from Gen 3 are live! Go catch the Water- and Ice-types now!

It's go time. Dozens and dozens of Pokémon originally discovered in the Hoenn region in the Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire video games are now appearing in Pokémon Go Gen 3 for the first time. The ghosts were first. Then the Fairy, Electric, Grass, Normal, Poison, Dark, and Fighting. Now, it's Ice and Water's turn.

Here's what you need to know to catch 'em all!

December 21, 2017: Gen 3 Water- and Ice-type Pokémon are here!

Who are the Pokémon Go Gen 3 starters?

Just like Gen 1 had Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander, and Gen 2 had Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile, Gen 3 has a set of Grass-, Fire-, and Water-type starters all its own. Gen 2 didn't make any special use of its starters, aside from making them characteristically hard to catch and keeping them out of Pokémon Eggs for extended periods of time. It's likely Gen 3 won't either. Still, if the starters hold a special place in your heart, here's a reminder of who they are in Gen 3:

Gen 3 Grass-type starter Pokémon and evolutions

  • Treecko: Grass — 923
  • Grovyle: Grass — 1508
  • Sceptile: Grass — 2584

Gen 3 Fire-type starter Pokémon and evolutions

  • Torchic: Fire — 959
  • Combusken: Fire / Fighting — 1472
  • Blaziken: Fire / Fighting — 2631

Gen 3 Water-type starter Pokémon and evolutions

  • Mudkip: Water — 981
  • Marshtomp: Water / Ground — 1617
  • Swampert: Water / Ground — 2815

Any common Gen 3 Pokémon good for XP grinding?

Gen 1 gave us three common, 12-candy evolutions to grind for XP: Pidgey, Caterpie, and Weedle. Gen 2... gave us none. With Gen 3, at least we get one:

  • Wurmple

It also has an interesting split-evolution. Based on "personality" — i.e. random chance in Pokémon Go — Wurmple will evolve into either Cascoon (and then Dustox) or Sicoon (and then Beautifly).

There are no 25 candy evolutions in Gen 3 so far, so nothing equivalent to Rattata or Sentrat.

Do any of the Gen 3 Pokémon require friendship to evolve?

Feebas. Like Umbreon and Espeon in Gen 2, Feebas needs you to walk it before you can evolve it. There's no day/night mechanic, since it's only got a single evolution. But you get your walk on.

  1. Feebas: Water — 220

Walk to evolve:

  1. Milotic: Water — 2967


Which of the current Gen 3 Pokémon can you hatch from Pokémon Eggs?

Several. And, as expected, they run the gamut of distances and rarity tiers. Only one of them is exclusive to Eggs so far:: Baby Azurill.

Gen 3 Pokémon in 2KM Eggs

  1. Poochyena: Dark — 564
  2. Zigzagoon: Normal — 423
  3. Wurmple: Bug — 502
  4. Skitty: Normal — 659
  5. Gulpin: Poison — 788
  6. Spoink: Psychic — 1285
  7. Wailmer: Water — 1424
  8. Barboach: Water / Ground — 716
  9. Spheal: Ice / Water — 876
  10. Luvdisc: Water — 735

Gen 3 Pokémon in 5KM Eggs

  1. Treecko: Grass — 923
  2. Torchic: Fire — 959
  3. Mudkip: Water — 981
  4. Lotad: Water / Grass — 526
  5. Carvanha: Water / Dark — 874
  6. Seedot: Grass — 526
  7. Shroomish: Grass — 722
  8. Makuhita: Fighting — 745
  9. Corphish: Water — 1107
  10. Azurill: Normal — 316
  11. Wynaut: Psychic — 503

Gen 3 Pokémon in 10KM Eggs

  1. Ralts: Psychic — 436
  2. Slakoth: Normal — 942
  3. Feebas: Water — 220

How about Raid Battles? Are any of the Gen 3 Pokémon Raid bosses?

Four, at least for now. While Wailmer seems to spawn and show up in Raids, Mawile, Absol and, of course, Groudon appear to be exclusive to Raids.

  1. Tier 1: Wailmer: Water — 1424
  2. Tier 2: Mawile: Steel — 1484
  3. Tier 4: Absol: Dark — 2280
  4. Tier 5: Groudon: Ground — 4074


What are the regional exclusive Pokémon in Gen 3?

Image via The Sliph Road

There are five so far. The first ones are in the Americas and Africa:

  1. Plusle: Electric — 1681
  2. Zangoose: Normal — 2214

The next are in Europe, Asia, and Australia:

  1. Minun: Electric — 1585
  2. Seviper: Poison — 1928

And, so far only in New Zealand and surrounding islands:

  1. Relicanth: Rock / Water — 2557

Who are the Legendary Pokémon in Gen 3?

Legendary Pokémon are significantly boosted in Gen 3 with a whopping eight new arrivals — almost as many as in Gen 1 and Gen 2 combined. There are a couple of new Mythicals as well.

Currently only one of the Gen 3 Legendary Pokémon is available, and only from a Tier 5 Raid:

  1. Groudon: Ground — 4074

Legendary Titans

Where Gen 1 had Legendary Birds and Gen 2 had Legendary Beasts, Gen 3 has Legendary Titans. Unlike previous generations, the Titans aren't based on the typical red/fire, yellow/electric, blue/water or ice formula. With Gen 3, we get some rock and some steel. Also, like Gen 1, the Legendary Titan's master doesn't show up until the next generation — in this case, Regigigas in Gen 4.

  • Regirock: Rock — 3087
  • Regice: Ice — 3087
  • Registeel: Steel — 2261

Eon Duo

"Eon Duo" is a term applied to a pair of powerful psychic dragons — the female Latias and male Latios.

  • Latias: Dragon / Psychic — 3377
  • Latios: Dragon / Psychic — 3644

Weather Trio

The Weather Trio represent the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere, and were the icons of the original Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald games.

  • Kyogre: Water — 4874
  • Groudon: Ground — 4874
  • Rayquaza: Dragon / Flying — 4354

Jirachi

Jirachi is a Steel- and Psychic-type Pokémon. Since we haven't seen Gen 1's Mew or Gen 2's Celebi yet, Jirachi is likely still a long way off.

Deoxys

The mythical Psychic-type Pokémon, Deoxys, has additional forms each of which focus on a different stat. (Speed isn't currently implemented in Pokémon Go, though Stamina is, so it'll be interesting to see how it's all implemented.)

  • Normal Form
  • Attack Form
  • Defense Form
  • Speed Form

Who are the new Dragonite, Tyranitar, Blissey, and Snorlax of Pokémon Go Gen 3?

When Pokémon Go Gen 2 debuted, Tyranitar was seen as the new Dragonite and Blissey as the new Snorlax. Gen 3 likewise brings some new super-powered Pokémon to the gaming table.

Slaking

Slacking should have had a CP over 5000 — FIVE THOUSAND — but Pokémon Go reduced (nerfed) it before it ever had a chance. Even so, it can still reach over 4500. And while Slaking doesn't have the stamina of Blissey or Snorlax, it ranks just below the latter. It's stuck with the powerless Yawn as a quick move, but Play Rough makes it a good defender — especially against the Fighter-types that would normally dynamic punch right through it.

  • Slakoth: Normal — 942
  • Vigoroth: Normal — 1896
  • Slaking: Normal — 4548

Metagross

Nothing is going to touch Tyranitar for generations to come, but Metagross and it's Psychic- and Steel-typing is going to significantly round things out.

  • Beldum: Steel / Psychic — 843
  • Metang: Steel / Psychic — 1570
  • Metagross: Steel / Psychic — 3644

Salamence

By contrast, Salamence will absolutely be the new Dragonite. Also a Dragon- and Flying-type, it does a little more damage but is a little less durable. We'll just have to see where the movesets land.

  • Bagon: Dragon — 1053
  • Shelgon: Dragon — 1958
  • Salamence: Dragon / Flying — 3532

Any Pokémon like Unown in Generation 3?

There are a couple of Pokémon in Gen 3 that have multiple forms, though none to the extent of Unown. One of them in Mythical, the other... cloudy. Speaking of Unown, it gets some additional forms in Gen 3 as well.

Unown

Everyone's favorite alphabet-shaped, Psychic-type Pokémon gets into punctuation in Gen 3.

  • Question Mark
  • Exclamation Point

Castform

Normal-type? Fire-type? Water-type? Ice-type? With Castform, it's appearance and even typing varies based on the weather. (Weather isn't currently implemented into Pokémon Go either but has been rumored for a while.)

  • Normal
  • Sunny
  • Rainy
  • Snowy

Are there any new evolutions for existing Pokémon in Gen 3?

Sadly, no. Gen 3 is pretty much its own thing. Gen 4, though will introduce several new evolutions for Gen 1 and Gen 2 Pokémon alike.

What about babies? Any new Pokémon babies in Gen 3?

Because, babies, right? You don't have to prepare for them because they'll be new pre-evolutions, not post-evolutions. But, in case you're curious, here are the new Gen 3 babies:

  • Azurill (baby Marill)
  • Wynaut (baby Wobuffet)


Do any Pokémon from Gen 3 have new evolutions or babies in Gen 4?

Several! These are the Pokémon from Gen 3 that you'll want to keep catching and hatching so you get as much candy as possible and as good a candidate (high IV) as possible, for future evolutions.

  • Ralts and Kirlia to evolve into Galade (split)
  • Nosepass to evolve into Probopass.
  • Roselia to evolve into Roserade.
  • Duskull and Duskclops to evolve into Dusknoir.
  • Snorut to evolve into Froslass.

Gen 4 also adds a couple new babies for a couple Gen 3 Pokémon:

  • Budew (baby Roselia)
  • Chingling (baby Chimecho)

What do you want to see in Pokémon Go Gen 3?

How Pokémon Go deals with Rhydon — already a 3000+ CP 'mon — evolving into Rhyperior is going to be interesting, isn't it? If you have any idea, or any questions about Gen 3 or Gen 4 in general, drop 'em in the comments below!
