Gift Pokémon

Like past Pokémon games, there are numerous Pokémon that you don't get by capturing, but rather by a person kindly giving you the Pokémon. This is often the easiest way to get most of these Pokémon and in some cases, the only way.

Location: Lumiose City

When you first arrive in the city, your bag gets stolen by a Pancham as you're helping Taunie/Urbain with a video. While making chase, you get challenged to a battle and Taunie/Urbain recommend you take one of the Pokémon to battle. After the battle, this Pokémon becomes your Partner Pokémon
