{{LGPE}} are both only compatible with 153 Pokémon species, the first set of [[core series]] games to fully exclude Pokémon species from preceding games, starting a trend that has continued for all subsequent releases. In addition, these games are compatible with the 18 [[Alolan form]]s and 15 [[Mega Evolution]]s of Kanto Pokédex Pokémon. In total, Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! have 213  forms (211 per version), which is comprised of the 186 Original, Alolan, and Mega evolved forms; 23 as a result of [[gender differences]] (for 209 Pokédex forms); and 2 [[Partner Pokémon (game)|partner forms]] and each of their gender differences.

The first 150 species in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] are obtainable in-game, subject to [[Version-exclusive_Pokémon#Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!| Version Exclusivity]]—which would normally necessitate trading between versions for Pokédex completion, but upon reaching [[Fuchsia City]], these 150 can also be transferred into the games one-way from {{G|GO}} via the [[GO Park]]. An additional 2 [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}, can also be obtained by transferring this way. Meltan can only evolve into Melmetal within Pokémon GO. The remaining Mythical Pokémon, {{P|Mew}}, is exclusively obtained from the [[Poké Ball Plus]]. Only one Mew can be obtained per Poké Ball Plus.

All of the 150 except for Mewtwo are repeatedly obtainable in-game when combining both versions, although some only by reviving [[Cerulean Cave]] fossils (of {{p||Aerodactyl}}, {{p||Kabuto}} or {{p||Omanyte}}) or by catching rare spawns. These rare spawns include the Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]] ({{p||Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}), {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{P|Lapras}}, {{p|Porygon}}, and {{p|Snorlax}}. The remaining rare spawns, which are in the sky and only unlocked after beating the game, consist of {{p||Charizard}}, {{p|Dragonite}} and the legendary birds ({{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p||Moltres}}). Without [[Catch Combo]]s, these rare spawns generate at a combined 1 in 200 chance except the legendary birds, which instead have a 1 in 2000 combined chance of generating.

In total, Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! have 213  forms (211 per version), which consists of the 186 Original, Alolan, and Mega evolved forms; 23 as a result of [[gender differences]] (for 209 Pokédex forms); and 2 [[Partner Pokémon (game)|partner forms]] with each of their gender differences.


The {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}} are exclusive to Let's Go, Pikachu! and Eevee!, respectively. Each game has only one partner Pikachu or Eevee; it cannot [[evolve]], and it cannot be traded or transferred to other games. However, regular Pikachu and Eevee are available in both games.

All Pokémon forms can be obtained [[Shiny]] except for {{p|Mew}}, and {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}. Possibly apart from partner Pikachu and Eevee, they can also all be obtained in any size: XS, S, AV, L, or XL.
 
=====Pokémon GO and HOME Interaction=====
 
In {{g|GO}}, as part of its [[Size and weight variation#Pokémon GO|size variation]] mechanic, XXS and XXL Pokémon each have a 1 in 250 chance to be generated. When one of these extreme-sized Pokémon is obtained and transferred into {{LGPE}}, both its height and weight scalar values are set to either 0 or 255, depending on whether it was initially XXS or XXL, respectively. This results in the specimen having the minimum or maximum possible in-game height and weight for its species (or form). In contrast, generation of both of these values for a native Pokémon in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! has less than a 1 in 25 million chance to occur with the highest [[Catch Combo]]—albeit due to a lack of display precision, additional values may also give the minimum and maximum possible measurements depending on the Pokémon species/form.


The games are incompatible with [[Pokémon Bank]], but you could later transfer Pokémon one-way into [[Pokémon HOME]].

Storing 25 of a Pokémon species or Alolan form in GO Park enables a mini-game called [[Go Park#Minigames|Play Yard]] for that species or Alolan form. Since there are only 1000 storage spaces for Pokémon, that means only 40 out of 170 possible play yards can simultaneously exist on one save file.
