'''Trace''' (Japanese: '''シン''' ''Shin'') is a friend and [[rival]] of the {{player}} in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. He is analogous to {{ga|Blue}}'s role in the [[Generation I]] games and their [[remake]]s, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

Trace is a good-natured, if not cowardly young boy from [[Pallet Town]]. Like the {{player}}, his {{pkmn|journey}} begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls the two to his lab for a [[starter Pokémon]]. His starter is a normal {{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|E}} that eventually [[evolution|evolves]] into the {{type|Electric}} {{p|Jolteon}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Raichu}}{{sup/7|E}}. Trace travels the [[Kanto]] region, defeating [[Gym Leader]]s while assisting the player with advice and [[item]]s.

In [[Lavender Town]], Trace learns about the evil deeds of [[Team Rocket]], and meets {{p|Cubone|the son}} of a {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}} that died protecting it. After Cubone calms his mother's spirit near the top of [[Pokémon Tower]], Trace takes him back to Lavender Town, where he adopts him into his [[party]], and swears to help him avenge its mother, giving him the resolve to become a braver person and a stronger Trainer. Trace, Cubone, and the rest of Trace's party help the player fight Team Rocket at [[Silph Co.]], fighting [[Archer]] in a [[Multi Battle]] and later holding off the {{tc|Executive|Team Rocket Admin}} while the player confronts [[Giovanni]]. Eventually, Trace becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], though he soon loses his title to the player. Later, he keeps [[rematch]]ing the player at the Pokémon League in an attempt to reclaim his title.
