The [[first partner Pokémon]] is given to the player at the start of their [[Pokémon journey]]. In most core series {{pkmn|games}} (except in {{game|Yellow}} and {{LGPE}}), the player can choose a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Grass}} first partner Pokémon at [[level]] 5. At least one of the player's [[rival]]s will also always choose or have a first partner Pokémon, which may either have a type advantage or disadvantage over the player's depending on the game.

In {{game|Yellow}}, there is {{ga|Red's Pikachu|a single Pikachu}} available as the [[first partner Pokémon]]. This {{p|Pikachu}} cannot [[evolve]] in the game where it was caught. However, it can evolve normally if traded to another game, and conversely, a Pikachu from another game can evolve normally in Yellow. Due to this, {{p|Raichu}} is unavailable in Pokémon Yellow outside of trades.

In total, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is compatible with 369 [[forms]], including all 17 new {{rf|Hisuian|form}}s. All Hisuian forms replace their original forms, except in the case of {{p|Sneasel}}, where both forms are included. 242 forms make up unique species, with an additional 59 forms being the result of [[gender differences]]. In addition to this, there are a further 27 {{p|Unown}}, 5 {{p|Rotom}}, 2 {{p|Burmy}} and 2 {{p|Wormadam}} forms; and a further 6 forms accounted by West/East Sea {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, Alolan/Original {{p|Vulpix}} and {{p|Ninetales}}, Hisuian/Original {{p|Sneasel}}, and Overcast/Sunshine {{p|Cherrim}}. The remaining 26 forms, not yet counted, consist of 18 separate {{p|Arceus}} forms, as well as alternate forms for {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, {{p|Enamorus}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}} and {{p|Shaymin}}. Cherrim cannot appear in its Sunshine form when stored and Legend Plate Arceus appears as Blank Plate Arceus when stored. Legend Plate Arceus also does not count as a separate form entry in the Pokédex. Heights and weights for gender differences, except {{p|Basculegion}}, are not recorded separately in the Pokédex. Not included in the 369 total, are 2 additional {{p|Mothim}} forms, only separated internally, which are a result of evolution from either Plant, Sandy or Trash Cloak Burmy.

All forms and their alpha equivalents can be {{Shiny}}; however, Alolan Vulpix, Alolan Ninetales, and the in-game Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are Shiny-locked and thus cannot be obtained Shiny without transferring them into the game. Shiny {{p|Enamorus}} is not currently legally obtainable as a result. Additionally, several {{OBP|List of in-game event Pokémon|Legends: Arceus|in-game event Pokémon}} are Shiny-locked, but can be captured in the wild Shiny.

A selection of Pokémon can only be obtained in-game via rare spawns in [[Space-time distortion]]s, making their alpha, in-game Shiny, and Shiny alpha forms generally considered the rarest to collect in the game. These rare Pokémon are the original forms of {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Weavile}} (in [[Obsidian Fieldlands]]); {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}} (in [[Crimson Mirelands]]); {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} (in [[Cobalt Coastlands]]); and {{p|Shieldon}}, {{p|Bastiodon}}, {{p|Cranidos}}, and {{p|Rampardos}} (in [[Coronet Highlands]]). In addition, alpha and Shiny alpha {{p|Magnezone}} can only be obtained by catching (or evolving from) a rare space-time distortion spawn. Two similiarly rare categories are Pokémon obtained exclusively from shaking trees, namely {{p|Burmy}} and {{p|Wormadam}}; and female specimens of a species with a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#1 ♀ : 7 ♂|7-male-to-1-female ratio]], including the visibly gender different {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Combee}}.

A total of 519 gender-form combinations (including Sunshine {{p|Cherrim}} and Legend Plate {{p|Arceus}}) are possible. 201 species, and 209 out of 310 forms (excluding gender differences), can be both female and male, amounting to 418 combinations after doubling. The remaining combinations are from 101 single gender forms across 41 species, further divided into 24 [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#Gender unknown|gender unknown]] species ({{p|Unown}}, the {{p|Porygon}} line, the {{p|Magnemite}} line, the Hisuian {{p|Voltorb}} line, the {{p|Bronzor}} line, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Darkrai}}) with a total of 78 forms; 7 [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#Male only|male-only]] species ({{p|Mothim}}, {{p|Gallade}}, {{p|Rufflet}}, Hisuian {{p|Braviary}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}} and {{p|Landorus}}) with a total of 10 forms; and 10 [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#Female only|female-only]] species ({{p|Wormadam}}, {{p|Vespiquen}}, {{p|Happiny}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Blissey}},  {{p|Petilil}}, {{p|Lilligant}}, {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Enamorus}}) with a total of 13 forms. For [[alpha]]s, there are a total of 470 combinations, 49 less combinations, which consists of 46 less alpha forms for one gender and 3 less alpha forms (Alolan {{p|Vulpix}}, Alolan {{p|Ninetales}}, and {{p|Heatran}}) for the opposite gender.
