I forgot it was by stone, not by level. In any case, got the SandSlash Lv 1

Technically Alolan Sandslash can be obtained at lv1 in Gen7 as it evolves with a Stone. But thanks to get it it for us. @CryHaddock I guess you won"t share them with us but thanks for the informations, the question I have is about Alolan Grimer, I don't think you can get it at lv1 for the moment, right?

Weather adds +5 levels to all Pokemon and it's done after all other calculations, meaning level 1 is impossible. Also, Pokemon's levels are locked the first time you click on them. This has two implications: - The same Pokemon can be a lower level if you click on it at 12.01 than it would have had at 11.59 - Rain and Sun castform are only obtainable at level 1 by finding one in the hour immediately *after* sunny or rainy weather - after the weather has changed but before the castform has despawned. Snowy is a little easier because it can spawn, without boost, in foggy weather A brand new account that has done literally nothing to gain XP will force any wild Pokemon encountered, and eggs obtained, to be level 1. This is pretty exploitable for getting rare level 1s. As soon as you catch one thing you're level 2 and that 100% chance of things being level 1 is gone - it goes to 50% level 1 50% level 2, then 33% level 1, 2 or 3, etc. Research task Pokemon are still level 15. Weather boosted Pokemon get their +5 levels *after* their level is reduced down, so if you catch a weather boosted Pokemon on a brand new level 1 account that Pokemon will be level 6. You can lock in a few wild Pokemon at level 1 by clicking, running away and coming back later - that locks their level to level 1. You can obtain exactly one level 1 egg from a poke stop this way, but again the spin will put you on level 2 It's possible to get 9 7km eggs that will all hatch to level 1. You need to make a brand new account, Use about 15 other accounts to send it a gift, then open them all at once. It will go up to something like level 15 and have 9 eggs, every one of which will hatch at level 1. This is the only possible way to get several Alolan Pokemon at level 1, and was also the most feasible way to get regionals at level 1 back when they were in eggs. There's no way to get raid-exclusive Pokemon at a level lower than 20 or research task exclusive at a level lower than 15 (although for several legendaries 15 is the lowest level they've ever been available at by a long way). 7km egg exclusives are fairly easy to obtain at level 1, and 2k/5k/10k egg exclusives are possible, but extremely difficult, to get at level 1. I've been collecting level 1s since the start of this game and spent some time theorycrafting how to get the rare and difficult ones, let me know if you have any questions
