Master Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee with essential beginner tips! Learn about catching 'em all, co-op play, catch combos, and Pokemon GO integration.
Hey there! So you're diving into the world of Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee? Awesome! It's a fantastic game, and I've got some tips that'll make your journey even smoother. Let's get you started!
Catch 'em All!
Seriously, try to catch every single Pokémon you encounter, even if it's not your favorite. Early on, you'll need a diverse team to take on Gym Leaders like Brock and Misty. Plus, catching Pokémon is a super efficient way to earn experience points, often more so than battling trainers. You'll also snag some sweet rewards for catching a certain number of Pokémon, including the original Kanto starters! And here's a big one: you absolutely *need* to have caught at least 50 different Pokémon species to even enter the Fuchsia City Gym. Keep going, and if you manage to catch all 150 non-Mythical Pokémon, you'll even get a special diploma and the coveted Shiny Charm!
Give Yourself a Helping Hand… with Co-op!
This is a cool feature: you can play in local co-op with a friend using a second Joy-Con. Player 2 can jump in anytime, even mid-battle or mid-catch! While Player 2 can't explore or interact with the world on their own, they become a real asset during trainer battles and when catching Pokémon. In trainer battles, Player 2 joins in with the second Pokémon in Player 1's party, letting you double-team opponents. When catching Pokémon, both players can throw Poké Balls simultaneously. If they hit at the same time, the balls combine for a better catch chance and more experience! Don't have a friend handy? No worries! Since you can play the whole game with one Joy-Con, you can use your free hand to control Player 2. It's a great way to tackle tough trainers or wild Pokémon. For trainer battles, you can easily take turns. For catching, you'll need to get a bit synchronized, but it's not too tricky. Pro-tip: while you can use the Joy-Con grip, it's a bit awkward for catching Pokémon unless you secure it somehow.
