Partner Pokémon
- Main article: Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)
The player's first Pokémon in these games is a special Pikachu or Eevee referred to as partner Pokémon. Players of Let's Go, Pikachu! start with partner Pikachu, while players of Let's Go, Eevee! start with partner Eevee. These partner Pokémon have a fixed 31 IVs in every stat and have higher base stats than normal Pikachu and Eevee, but cannot be Shiny.
