Partner Pokémon (game): Difference between revisions

'''Partner Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''相棒ポケモン''' ''Partner Pokémon'') refers to the special {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}} the player [[Starter Pokémon|starts]] with in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] As the names of the two titles imply, players of Let's Go, Pikachu! receive a Pikachu as their partner, while players of Let's Go, Eevee! receive Eevee. While the player can capture and train other Pikachu and Eevee in both games, the partner Pokémon have various special differences from their typical variants.

* The partner Pikachu and Eevee are constantly seen riding on the player's shoulder, similar to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}, even when not in the active [[party]].

* Female partner Eevee have a special heart-shaped pattern around the tip of their tail, similar to a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]].

* The partner Pokémon have higher [[base stats]], and are fixed to join the party with a fixed 31 {{IV}}s in every stat, but cannot be {{shiny}}.

* The partner Pikachu and Eevee can activate partner powers in battle once they have high enough [[friendship]]. If activated while they are in battle, they use an exclusive move—{{m|Pika Papow}} or {{m|Veevee Volley}}—which increases in damage based on [[friendship]]. If activated while they are not in battle, they boost the [[statistics|stats]] of the current Pokémon.

* The partner Pokémon can perform [[Secret Technique]]s that take the place of [[HM]]s. These Techniques do not take up a slot in the movelist, nor are they moves intended for battle.

* The Player's partner can be interacted with and fed, similar to [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Pokémon Refresh]] in previous games.

The partner Pikachu and Eevee are based in part by the {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} the {{player}} receives in {{game|Yellow}}, and, by extension, [[Ash's Pikachu]].

In [[SM090]], a Pikachu with a hairstyle similar to one the partner Pikachu can have appeared under the ownership of an [[Alola]]n {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In [[SM091]], several other similar Pikachu appeared under the ownership of [[Pikarla]].
