Walkthrough

1
Battle Your Rival: You'll face your rival's starter Pokémon (Eevee in Let's Go Pikachu, Pikachu in Let's Go Eevee) at Level 6. Since their types are neutral to each other, focus on using your starter's strongest attack moves like Thunder Shock (Pikachu) or Tackle/Quick Attack (Eevee). You can also use any other Pokémon you've caught.
2
Receive Sportswear: As you leave to return to Viridian City via Route 1, your rival's sister will give you **Sportswear** for your partner Pokémon. Access this via the main menu's "Bag" and "Clothing Trunk".
3
Partner Play: You'll be prompted to enter "Partner Play" mode, similar to Pokémon Amie or Refresh. Here you can pet your partner and feed it berries to increase Happiness. Use Joy-Cons or Poké Ball Plus as a pointer (A/ZR/R to pet, Y to center cursor). In Handheld mode, use the touch screen. To access Partner Play later, open the main menu and select "Play with Pikachu/Eevee".
4
Battle Youngster Ronny: Near the exit of Route 1, you'll encounter Youngster Ronny who will battle you with a Level 3 Rattata. This should be an easy victory with your starter Pokémon or other team members.
5
Return to Viridian City: Back in Viridian City, visit the Poké Mart to buy supplies like Poké Balls and Potions.
6
Gym and Routes: The Pokémon Gym in Viridian City is inaccessible until late in the game. You can head west to Route 22 or north to Route 2 and Viridian Forest. To progress the story, you'll need to go north, but a detour to Route 22 is suggested for now.
