Where to find it in X and Y

Choose Fennekin from the starter box in Aquacorde Town. The two unchosen Kalos starters can be obtained through trading or breeding from traded parents.

Rows marked “X only” or “Y only” are version-specific. Friend Safari rows need the postgame Kiloude City safari and a friend whose safari contains this Pokémon.
