Secret Techniques

Learn all the Secret Techniques in Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, including Chop Down, Sky Dash, Strong Push, Sea Skim, and Light Up. Your ultimate guide to navigating Kanto!

Hey there! So, you're diving into the world of Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, huh? Awesome! As you explore Kanto, you'll run into certain obstacles that your regular Pokémon can't handle. That's where Secret Techniques come in – think of them as your special moves that help you get around and overcome challenges. They're basically the replacements for the old HMs you might remember. Let's break down each one so you know exactly what to do!

Secret Techniques:

1. Chop Down: This is your first Secret Technique, and it lets you chop down those skinny trees that are blocking your path. It's the replacement for the old HM01 Cut. You'll learn this from the Captain aboard the S.S. Anne.
2. Sky Dash: Need to get back to a town quickly? Sky Dash lets you fly to any city or town you've already visited. Just picture the Kanto map and pick your destination! This one replaces HM02 Fly. A helpful woman in a house on Route 16 will teach it to you.
3. Strong Push: This technique gives your partner Pokémon some serious muscle, letting them push those heavy stone blocks out of the way. Once you learn it, you can just keep pressing the interact button to use it whenever you need to. It's the new HM03 Strength. You can get this from the Warden in Fuchsia City.
4. Sea Skim: Ready to explore the waters? Sea Skim allows you to travel across water on a surfboard. If you have Gyarados or Lapras as your Buddy Pokémon, you'll actually ride on them instead, which is pretty cool! This replaces HM04 Surf. Look for a man next to a Lapras in Fuchsia City to learn this one.
5. Light Up: This is your go-to for navigating really dark areas. The only place you'll need this is in the Rock Tunnel. It's the replacement for HM05 Flash. A Scientist living on Route 2 will teach it to you, and you'll need to go through Diglett's Cave to get to him.
