Pokémon Let’s Go tips and tricks for becoming a Kanto Champion

Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee may take you back to some of the series’ most familiar terrain, but, as you probably already know, they also manage to introduce some major changes to the formula for returning players, mixing both elements of Pokémon Go and the main games, as well as some slightly new concepts.

We’ve put all of our detailed guide pages together in the center of our Pokémon Let’s Go walkthrough and guide, if you’re looking for deeper dives or explanations, but here on this page you can find a summary of our general guide. , quick and easy Pokémon Let’s Go tips and tricks that we’ve learned after playing the entire game, to help you get off to a good start and on your way to becoming the best you’ve ever been. .

Don’t worry too much about which version you choose

The version differences of Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee are quite similar to all previous mainline Pokémon games. Some Pokémon, but not many, are ‘version exclusive’, meaning they can only be caught in Let’s Go Pikachu or Let’s Go Eevee.

There aren’t many of these, though, so you can trade them with a friend or import them from Pokémon Go, if you need to complete your Pokédex.

Otherwise, there are some minor touches: your battles with your rival, for example, which aren’t too frequent, will see you featuring slightly different Pokémon depending on which version you’re playing, aside from the big one, of course: Whether you want to! Let your partner be Pikachu or Eevee!

Where wild Pokémon spawn has changed

While players familiar with Kanto from the original first-generation games, or from the FireRed and LeafGreen remakes, may recognize many traditional locations for Pokémon, there has been a change in the appearance of some of them.

There are some very rare Pokémon that can appear even in some very early routes (which we won’t spoil here) under the right circumstances. This is partly due to a new mechanic called Catch Combo, which we explain in much more detail in that linked guide. In short, it’s a streak you can build up by catching the same species of Pokémon, and one of the benefits is a higher chance of something super rare appearing around you.

They’re not on every route, but keep an eye out for these super rare creatures as you go, and our Pokémon Let’s Go walkthrough will also point you to the ones available along the way!

Get familiar with the controls, plus a handy workaround

Motion controls can’t be turned off, but there are some workarounds and things to keep in mind that can make your life easier if you’re having trouble.

The way the controls work depends on what mode you’re in. When docked, you use a Joy-Con or the PokéBall Plus in a throwing action to throw the ball. When you’re handheld, you move the Switch on itself to aim your throw, or you can use the left analog stick to aim at the same time.

To make launching in docked mode a little easier, it’s worth knowing that the “Get Ready” button you press on the capture screen has one function: it “sets” the current position of the Joy-Con or Poké Ball that you are using as ” centered”. ‘, so to speak. So if you press Get Ready and then move the Joy-Con to the right and start your throwing action from there, the game will take this into account and the ball will appear from the right side.

If balls seem to appear everywhere in the store when you try to catch them on the dock, you may not be taking your position into account when you “settle” by pressing Get Ready!

As for handheld mode, you can completely work around the motion controls by simply placing the Switch on a flat surface. If you enter the capture screen and don’t move the Switch, then the Pokémon will simply move from side to side (if at all), and you can aim at it with the left stick. This is worth keeping in mind for both accessibility reasons and general convenience!

We go into this in much more detail and with more detailed catching tips in our Pokémon Let’s Go Catching and Catching Combo Guide, if you’re intrigued!

Be friendly and talk to everyone

This one is simple, and something veteran players will be familiar with, but in any mainline Pokémon game, as in any RPG, it’s worth spending a little extra time stopping and talking to everyone you see. You never know who has something interesting to offer (early game $500 Magikarp anyone?) and, likewise, whether you’re a newcomer or just a little stuck, people close to you often have some Useful tips that can point you in the right direction. address!

Gifted Pokémon Have Really Cool Stats

Throughout Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee, you will receive Pokémon from people in the game world. Like we said, it’s worth talking to people!

These are consistently excellent Pokémon, by which we mean they have excellent stats. In our experience, Gifted Pokémon had “Best” in that Pokémon’s highest base stat, and then “Fantastic” (the level just below Best) in two others, with Good in the rest. This means that a Gifted Magikarp, for example, will often defeat a Wild Magikarp that you have caught yourself. So that $500 for someone gifted outside of Mount Moon is actually a bargain!

Your companion Pikachu or Eevee is amazing

Speaking of great stats, your Pokémon partner, Pikachu in Let’s Go Pikachu or Eevee in Let’s Go Eevee, is consistently brilliant.

Partners have stats rated “Best” in all six stat categories (HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed). On top of that, they also have the ability to learn a number of completely unique moves, from Move Tutors found at certain Pokémon Centers around the world. The first is in Cerulean City, a couple of hours into the game.

Those moves often come with surprising effects, like Eevee’s Buzzy Buzz, a hefty 90 base damage. and always leaves the target with Paralysis, which halves the opponent’s Speed. If you want to know how powerful it is, it’s the only move that does that much damage and guarantees that effect in a mainline Pokémon game! Eevee and Pikachu can learn many moves like these, some of which are possibly even better, so always talk to the circus-performer-like Move Tutors at Pokémon Centers as you go!

Please also note that not have to keep your follower in your group. They will always follow you everywhere, but you can still keep them in your storage box and trade other Pokémon with your party if you don’t feel like using them in battle.

Repellents are more useful than you think!

Especially as you progress through the game and its more complicated environments.

Later on, you’ll find yourself in areas that can have some pretty complex puzzles to solve, such as pushing rocks or using teleportation platforms. The problem is that it can be difficult to do so when there are large numbers of wild Pokémon appearing everywhere and getting in the way. Don’t be afraid to stock up on Repellents, Super Repellents, and Max Repellents at Poké Marts to use in situations like this, and give yourself some space to move things around and think!

If you’re running out of money, items like Nuggets, Stardust, and Pearls serve no purpose, but they can sell for a very high price each! If you have them, sell them whenever you want, since they are only good for money. Be sure to keep your overall items in mind as you play; They can really make a difference.

There are many invisible elements in the world.

You’ll see us marking our items as “Hidden” in our Pokémon Let’s Go walkthrough, and that means you can’t see them in the world, but you can still pick them up if you press “A” in the right place.

There are a large number of these throughout the Kanto world, particularly in unusual areas like caves or underground paths that you will encounter on your way. We’ll point out any we’ve found so far on our tour!

Berries are much more important now

We found that especially Razz Berries, as they can really help make hard-to-catch Pokémon easier to obtain.

However, the berries are never visible to be picked up in the world, unlike other items that are found lying around in the form of Poké Balls. They are always hidden or given to you. A great place to look, which makes sense if you think about it, is shrubs and flowers from around the world. Again, we mark any we find in our tutorial!

Always have a Pokémon following you

Just like the good old days of Pokémon Yellow, the Pokémon followers are back! Simply head to your ‘Group’ in the menu, select the Pokémon, and select ‘Draw from Poké Ball’ to have them walk behind you.

They are well behaved, so they return to their ball when you enter or enter a tight or uncomfortable area, so it is always It is worth having one with you. Not only is it charming, it’s also super useful: Follower Pokémon frequently find hidden items you couldn’t otherwise get, including those berries in certain bushes. There are also some really cool interactions with your Pokémon, which we won’t spoil here, other than to note that you can ride them like a mount or, in some cases, fly.

There are new and better ways to earn XP than fighting

While grinding levels used to consist of battling wild Pokémon and trainers, now of course there are no more wild Pokémon battles (except for the odd… special case). Luckily, experience is now shared with your entire team every time you get it, and what’s more, you can earn a ton from trapping.

In fact, we found it was the quickest way to level up your team if you ever feel like you’re falling behind or need to meet some difficult gym entry requirements. Create catch combos, get great throws, catch Pokémon large and small, and much more if you want to level up faster. And again, we explain how to do it best in our Let’s Go capture guide!

That’s all for our selection of tips that are good to know before starting Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu or Let’s Go Eevee. However, there is much more to discover, so you can read all of our more detailed guides and explanations, as well as all the tutorial pages we have so far, in our Pokémon Let’s Go guides and tutorials hub.
