Galar first partner Pokémon
The Galar first partner Pokémon are the trio of Pokémon—Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble[1]—chosen by Trainers at the start of their journey in Galar. These are traditionally given out by Leon and are to be used to battle the first wild Pokémon that the Trainer encounters.
In official contexts, the group is referred to descriptively in several ways, including "Galar first partner Pokémon"[2], "first partner Pokémon of the Galar region"[1], and more.
In the Galar-based core series games, the player can choose a Fire-, Water-, or Grass-type first partner Pokémon at level 5.

In the anime
Pokémon the Series
In Pokémon Journeys: The Series, during his journey, Goh befriended and caught all three of the Galar first partner Pokémon. He first caught his Cinderace as a Scorbunny, and later caught his Inteleon as a Sobble, before finally catching his Grookey, completing the trio.
Trivia
- The Galar first partner Pokémon are the only first partner trio where none of their members are owned by Ash in Pokémon the Series. Instead, all three are caught by Goh.
