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 Blue's role in Generation I and their remakes, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

In the games

Trace, like the player, is a young boy from Pallet Town. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a starter Pokémon. His starter is a normal Eevee^P/Pikachu^E that eventually evolves into the Electric-type Jolteon^P/Raichu^E. Eventually, Trace becomes the Champion at Indigo Plateau, though he soon loses his title to the player.
