The Pokemon Company has sent out an announcement recapping all of today’s news for Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu \/ Eeevee. Some additional elements about the game were revealed along with Switch hardware bundles. Find the full announcement below, along with screenshots. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Pok\u00e9mon Company International and Nintendo announced new details about exclusive Pok\u00e9mon moves, Secret Techniques, and much more in the highly anticipated Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu! and Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee! games, releasing on November 16 on the Nintendo Switch™ system. Both games are designed for players taking their first steps into the Pok\u00e9mon video game world as well as for longtime fans wanting a new way to play Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

Clear the Way: Secret Techniques
\nPikachu or Eevee can help players overcome obstacles they encounter and make travel easier in Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu! and Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee! by learning Secret Techniques. These special skills can be used by the player\u2019s partner Pok\u00e9mon outside of battle to clear away trees (Chop Down), glide across water (Sea Skim), and quickly revisit towns and cities that have already been explored (Sky Dash).<\/p>\n

Powerful Partner-Exclusive Moves
\nThe player\u2019s partner Pikachu or Eevee can use exclusive moves that no other Pok\u00e9mon can use. These exclusive moves will help players face any challenge during their adventures in Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu! and Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee! And once the player\u2019s relationship with their partner reaches a certain level, the partner Pok\u00e9mon will occasionally send a sign during battle that its partner power (one of its exclusive moves) can be used. Even if the partner Pok\u00e9mon is not in the battle, it may still send a sign. If the player responds, the partner will bolster the Pok\u00e9mon in battle by boosting its stats.<\/p>\n

Two of Pikachu\u2019s exclusive moves are Pika Papow and Splishy Splash. Pika Papow is also a partner power, so it\u2019s performed when the partner sign appears during battle. The power of Pika Papow can increase depending on how strong the player\u2019s bond is with their partner Pikachu. The Water-type move Splishy Splash can paralyze opponents.<\/p>\n

Eevee\u2019s exclusive moves include the partner power Veevee Volley as well as Bouncy Bubble, Buzzy Buzz, and Sizzly Slide. When Eevee uses Veevee Volley, its power can increase depending on Eevee\u2019s relationship with the player. Bouncy Bubble, a Water-type move, will heal Eevee for half the damage dealt to the opponent. The Electric-type move Buzzy Buzz paralyzes the opponent. An opponent will always be left with the burned status condition if it is hit with Eevee\u2019s Fire-type move, Sizzly Slide.<\/p>\n

Best of Friends: Befriending a Partner Pok\u00e9mon
\nPlayers can interact with their partner Pok\u00e9mon when they are not in battle by selecting the Pikachu or Eevee icon on the main menu. By petting and playing with their partner Pok\u00e9mon, players will improve their relationship with Pikachu or Eevee and can receive in-game benefits such as presents. When the game is in handheld mode, players can use the touch screen to play directly with their partner Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

Explore the Kanto Region: Celadon City
\nCeladon City is one of the many interesting locations in the Kanto region that players can explore in Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu! and Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee! This large city, known as the \u201cCity of Rainbow Dreams,\u201d has an arcade and even a department store. Erika, sometimes called \u201cthe Nature-Loving Princess,\u201d is the Gym Leader of the Celadon City Gym and specializes in Grass-type Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

Special Nintendo Switch Bundle
\nA special bundle that includes a Nintendo Switch system, Pikachu- and Eevee-themed Joy-Con™ controllers, a digital copy of Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu! or Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee!, and a Pok\u00e9 Ball Plus will be released on November 16. The front of the dock features Eevee and Pikachu, while the back of the console has silhouettes of both partner Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n
