How to Get Bulbasaur

Pick as Your Starter

Bulbasaur is one of the starters that you can pick at the beginning of the game. If you don't pick them at Professor Oak's Lab, then you will need to either trade for one or replay the game again from scratch.

Best Starter Pokemon to Choose

Soft Reset to Get A Shiny Bulbasaur

Video shows Charmander, but same process applies with Bulbasaur.

Getting a Shiny Bulbasaur is possible, as Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen doesn't shiny-lock its starters. You can soft reset in front of the Poke Ball and see if the next one is a shiny!

How to Get Shiny Starters

Where to Catch Bulbasaur

Bulbasaur Cannot Be Caught

Since Bulbasaur is one of the starters given to you as a gift, it can't be caught as wild Pokemon.
