The Pikachu is only obtainable with save data from Let's Go, Pikachu!, and the Eevee likewise requires Let's Go, Eevee!. This was initially the only way to obtain a Pikachu or Eevee with the Gigantamax Factor, but they later became available in special Max Raid Battles, and The Isle of Armor expansion adds Max Soup, allowing the Gigantamax Factor to be given to any ordinary Pikachu or Eevee.

Save data from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!, and Pokémon Quest each unlock one pair of a background and a frame for League Cards.
