Discover the key differences between Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, focusing on your partner Pokemon and the exclusive creatures you can catch in each version.
Alright, let's talk about the biggest difference you'll notice right off the bat in Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee: your partner Pokémon! In the Pikachu version, your trusty companion is, well, Pikachu! And in the Eevee version, it's Eevee, of course. Think of them as your starter Pokémon, but with a cool twist. They'll stick with you throughout your entire adventure, though you can swap them out of your active party if you want. The big thing is, your partner Pokémon can't evolve, but they get some boosted stats and some unique moves that make them really special.
Now, beyond your partner, the main reason these games come in pairs is to get you trading! For the most part, you'll find the same wild Pokémon in both versions. However, there are a handful of Pokémon that are exclusive to either Pikachu or Eevee. So, if you're aiming to complete your Pokédex and catch 'em all, you'll definitely need to trade with a friend who has the opposite version. Don't worry, though, trading is super easy with modern tech, so it's not as daunting as it sounds!
Here's a quick rundown of the Pokémon you'll find exclusively in each version:

| Sandshrew, Sandslash | Vulpix, Ninetales |
