Partner Pokémon (Japanese: 相棒ポケモン Partner Pokémon) refers to the special Pikachu or Eevee the player starts with in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! As the names of the two titles imply, players of Let's Go, Pikachu! receive a Pikachu as their partner, while players of Let's Go, Eevee! receive Eevee. While the player can capture and train other Pikachu and Eevee in both games, the partner Pokémon have various special differences from their typical variants.
Differences
- The partner Pikachu and Eevee are constantly seen riding on the player's shoulder, similar to Ash's Pikachu in the anime, even when not in the active party.
- Female partner Eevee have a special heart-shaped pattern around the tip of their tail, similar to a gender difference.
- The partner Pokémon have higher base stats, and are fixed to join the party with a fixed 31 IVs in every stat, but cannot be Shiny.
- Similar to Red's Pikachu in Pokémon Yellow, they cannot evolve. Because held items do not exist in the game, items such as Light Ball, Eviolite, and Eevium Z are not applicable.
- They have special new moves that they can learn via Move Tutor, and can activate partner powers in battle once they have high enough friendship. If activated while they are in battle, they use an exclusive move—Pika Papow or Veevee Volley—which increases in damage based on friendship. If activated while they are not in battle, they boost the stats of the current Pokémon.
- The partner Pokémon can perform Secret Techniques that take the place of HMs. These Techniques do not take up a slot in the movelist, nor are they moves intended for battle.
- The player's partner can be interacted with and fed, similar to Pokémon-Amie and Pokémon Refresh in previous games.
- They can also be dressed in different outfits, including sets made to match the player, and be given different hairstyles when pet in certain ways in the Switch's handheld mode.

Artwork
In the anime
Several Pikachu with hairstyles similar to the ones found in Let's Go, Pikachu!
The partner Pikachu and Eevee are based in part by the Pikachu the player receives in Pokémon Yellow, and, by extension, Ash's Pikachu. While a direct counterpart to the partner Pokémon hasn't appeared yet in the anime, elements of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! can be seen as early as The Power of Us, where Risa obtains an Eevee as a starter.
First seen in the original series with Ritchie's Sparky, Pikachu and Eevee with different hairstyles as identifying elements began appearing in the Sun & Moon series around Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s release. These hairstyles are generally more varied and may not be ones attainable in the games. The first Pikachu with such a hairstyle appeared in SM090 under the ownership of an Alolan Trainer. In SM091, several other similar Pikachu appeared under the ownership of Pikarla.
An Eevee with hair covering its eyes appears in the series of shorts Eevee, Where Are You Going?. It made its proper debut in SM099, where it was caught by Lana, received the nickname Nagisa, and was given a haircut.
