Pokemon Let’s Go Partner Moves

Your partner Pikachu or Eevee gets moves made only for it. Tamers in the Pokemon Centers of Cerulean City, Celadon City and Fuchsia City teach them, and its Partner Power move (Pika Papow or Veevee Volley) grows stronger the closer you two are.

Gifts from your partner Pokemon

When a speech icon shows over your partner Pikachu or Eevee, talk to it and it may hand you one of these items at random: 15 in each version, 16 across both. How close you are to your partner decides which items it can give. A version tag means only that version has the item.
