Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! / Let’s Go, Eevee!

Last week, The Pokémon Company shared a few minor details and some footage for Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! / Let’s Go, Eevee!. Let’s start with the footage, which is actually two video clips shared via Twitter:

The video shows a Pokémon Amie-like feature, and confirms that you will be able to have your partner wear some cute accessories (ribbons, flowers, etc.) on the ears, the back, the chest, or even the tail. Unfortunately, it’s not clear how you get those accessories, how many of them there is, but it looks like only your partner Pokémon (Pikachu or Eevee) can wear them.

Here’s a couple of screenshots:

  • Catch EXP Increase
  • Raid EXP Increase
  • Hatch EXP Increase
  • Luccky Eggs last 1 hour

Also, on July 7th, Articuno Day will run (with the possibility of Shiny Articuno appearing during the event).

But that’s not all: Alolan Rattata can now be found in 7km eggs obtained via a friend. Speaking of gifts from friends, you can now hold 10 of them at a time, instead of just 5. However, you’re still limited to 20 gift openings a day.
