{{LGPE}} are both compatible with 153 Pokémon species, the first set of [[core series]] games to fully exclude Pokémon species from preceding games, starting a trend that has continued for all subsequent releases. In addition, these games are compatible with the 18 [[Alolan form]]s and the 15 Kanto [[Mega Evolution]]s.
{{LGPE}} are both compatible with 153 Pokémon species, the first set of [[core series]] games to fully exclude Pokémon species from preceding games, starting a trend that has continued for all subsequent releases. In addition, these games are compatible with the 18 [[Alolan form]]s and the 15 Kanto [[Mega Evolution]]s.
The first 150 species in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] are obtainable in-game, subject to [[Version-exclusive Pokémon#Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|11 version exclusives each]]—which would normally necessitate trading between versions for Pokédex completion, but upon reaching [[Fuchsia City]], these 150 can also be transferred into the games one-way from {{G|GO}} via the [[GO Park]]. An additional 2 [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}, can also be obtained by transferring this way; Meltan can only evolve into Melmetal within Pokémon GO. The remaining Mythical Pokémon, {{P|Mew}}, is exclusively obtained from the [[Poké Ball Plus]]; only one Mew can be obtained per Poké Ball Plus.
All of the 150 except for {{p|Mewtwo}} are repeatedly obtainable in-game when combining both versions, although some only by reviving [[Cerulean Cave]] fossils (of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Kabuto}} or {{p|Omanyte}}) or by catching rare spawns. These rare spawns, which allow for exclusive [[List of in-game event Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|in-game event Pokémon]] to be recaptured, include the Kanto {{pkmn2|first partner}} Pokémon ({{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}), the [[Fighting Dojo]] prizes ({{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}), and {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Chansey}} (the latter not being rare in Cerulean Cave). The remaining rare spawns, which are in the sky and only unlocked after beating the game, consist of {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Dragonite}} and the legendary birds ({{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}). Without [[Catch Combo]]s, these rare spawns generate at a combined 1 in 200 chance—except for the legendary birds, which instead have a 1 in 2000 combined chance of generating.
Most species are catchable in Let's Go, Pikachu! (LGP) and Let's Go, Eevee! (LGE), but 22 require evolving the previous evolutionary stage. The species that require evolution include the 5 Kanto {{pkmn2|first partner}} evolutions ({{p|Ivysaur}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Wartortle}}, and {{p|Blastoise}}), the 4 Let's Go partner evolutions ({{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}}), 2 version exclusives ({{p|Arbok}} for LGE and {{p|Sandslash}} for LGP), the 4 [[Trade evolution]]s ({{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Machamp}}, {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Gengar}}), the 2 fossil evolutions ({{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Omastar}}), and 5 others ({{p|Wigglytuff}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Primeape}}, {{p|Hypno}} and {{p|Marowak}}). Additionally, {{p|Butterfree}} is not catchable in LGE and {{p|Beedrill}} is not catchable in LGP.
=====Variant Availability=====
In total, Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! combined have 213 forms (211 compatible per version), which consists of the 186 Original, Alolan, and Mega evolved forms; 23 as a result of [[gender differences]] (for 209 Pokédex forms); and 2 [[Partner Pokémon (game)|partner forms]] with each of their gender differences.
The 18 [[Alolan form]]s are exclusively obtained via a set of [[In-game trade#Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|in-game trades]]. The Alolan forms of {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Persian}}, {{p|Graveler}}, {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Muk}} are obtained by the evolution of the Alolan {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Muk}} forms received via trading, respectively. The remaining forms received via in-game trade are Alolan {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Exeggutor}} and {{p|Marowak}}.
The {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}} are exclusive to Let's Go, Pikachu! and Eevee!, respectively. Each game has only one partner Pikachu or Eevee; it cannot [[evolve]], and it cannot be traded or transferred to other games. However, regular Pikachu and Eevee are available in both games.
All Pokémon forms can be obtained [[Shiny]] except for {{p|Mew}}, and {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}. Apart from partner Pikachu and Eevee, which are both scale-locked (4 different scalars within the AV range), all forms can be obtained in any size: XS, S, AV, L, or XL.
Each version has 16 [[Version-exclusive Pokémon#Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|version-exclusive]] forms, with Let's Go, Pikachu! having 3 version exclusive gender differences ({{p|Gloom}}, {{p|Vileplume}}, and {{p|Scyther}}). Of the [[In-game trade#Pokémon:_Let's_Go,_Pikachu!_and_Let's_Go,_Eevee!|in-game trades]] and their evolutions, Alolan {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Muk}} are exclusive to Let's Go, Pikachu!, while Alolan {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Persian}} are exclusive to Let's Go, Eevee!
=====Level Availability=====
All but 2 Pokémon, {{p|Lickitung}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, can be obtained in-game at Level 50 or below. Both, along with {{p|Golduck}} (which is obtained below level 50 by evolving {{p|Psyduck}}), are exclusive to [[Cerulean Cave]]. Golduck and Lickitung can be caught at just Level 51, while Mewtwo is caught at Level 70. Although {{p|Dragonite}} evolves from {{p|Dragonair}} starting at Level 55, a Dragonite as low as Level 3 can be caught from a rare flying spawn.
At Level 70, Mewtwo is the highest-level encounter; otherwise, Level 56 is the highest for wild Pokémon.
Level 1 Pokémon cannot be obtained except via transferring from [[Pokémon GO]] (or [[Poké Ball Plus]] in the case of {{p|Mew}}). This is because no breeding is present in the game, and the fact the lowest level wild Pokémon, such as {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Rattata}}, are only encountered at Level 3 or above.
=====Pokémon GO and HOME Interaction=====
In {{g|GO}}, as part of its [[Size and weight variation#Pokémon GO|size variation]] mechanic, XXS and XXL Pokémon each have a 1 in 250 chance to be generated. When one of these extreme-sized Pokémon is obtained and transferred into {{LGPE}}, both its height and weight scalar values are set to either 0 or 255, depending on whether it was initially XXS or XXL, respectively. This results in the specimen having the minimum or maximum possible in-game height and weight for its species (or form). In contrast, generation of both of these values for a native Pokémon in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! has less than a 1 in 25 million chance to occur with the highest [[Catch Combo]]—albeit due to a lack of display precision, additional values may also give the minimum and maximum possible measurements depending on the Pokémon species/form.
The games are incompatible with [[Pokémon Bank]], but you could later transfer Pokémon one-way into [[Pokémon HOME]].
Storing 25 of a Pokémon species or Alolan form (except Mew) in GO Park enables a mini-game called [[Go Park#Minigames|Play Yard]] for that species or Alolan form. Since there are only 1000 storage spaces for Pokémon (mirroring regular storage), that means only 40 out of 170 possible play yards can simultaneously exist on one save file.
