[Guide] A Trainer’s Guide to the Version Exclusive Pokémon of Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! & Let’s Go, Eevee!

In keeping with the tradition of main series Pokémon games having multiple versions, this November won’t just see the release of one Pokémon: Let’s Go game, it’s going to see the release of two in the form of Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! and starters are not the only version exclusives the games will have.

Much like the games that have come before it, it has been confirmed that the Let’s Go games do in fact have their own version exclusive Pokémon and it is that subject in which this guide is dedicated to.

Only, while players would normally have to pick one game over the other and rely on trading with others to complete their Pokédex, the Let’s Go games does something a little different in the sense it supports the mobile game Pokémon GO.

With said support, players have the option to capture and trade for all the Kanto region Pokémon they could want, with up to 1,000 of them being able to be transferred into the Let’s Go games, regardless of whether they come from yourself, your family and even your friends. Heck, you can also transfer Alolan versions of Gen 1 Pokémon as well.

So, whether you choose to go into Pokémon: Let’s Go on a clean slate, or go into a catch ‘em all frenzy with the mobile game in the meantime, the following lists are every single Version Exclusive Pokémon for the Let’s Go games:
