Spoilers Official Let's Go Pikachu/Let's Go Eevee Discussion Thread

[Extroth]

Wait if it's called water walk this could finally explain how Pokemon can battle on water when their not a water type. Maybe their like Naruto characters and can control their energy so they can walk on water.

The water walk is exclusive to Pikachu and Eevee, isn’t it? So the explanation would only work for them.

Really making Eevee and Pikachu hard to box huh? Having them essentially opens your team possibilities more than before. I mean not as much as ride pokemon did, but you know.

Yeah I know, I was mostly joking.

Still I do find it interesting that the two mascots of these games are getting new moves all to themselves, odd coverage moves at that.

Probably so that they are usable in-game even after being unevolved.

Hey, I was expecting less so I'm kinda okay with it. Seems cool.

 

[Sakuraa]

It's really cool that they not only gave Pikachu and Eevee new moves, but also HM-like techniques that don't even waste a move slot. They really want to make them as useful as possible and I really like that. I can't wait to see what else they'll be able to do.

Here's a question though: Do they need to be in the party to be able to use those moves?

 

[lucarioknight56]

Considering that they're supposed to stay on your shoulder/head the entire game, I don't think so, as they are technically always around.

 

[Alola]

So I've been scrolling back several pages and haven't seen anything too definitive yet...

Has there been any released, specific information yet about how exactly Pikachu and Eevee will be strong enough to use for the whole game (I'm already aware Pikachu gained Double Kick to help deal with Brock)? Any new, revealed moves for Eevee (who has a horrible move-pool in terms of being main party Pokemon)?

Both starter Pikachu and Eevee have higher stats compared to normal Pikachu and Eevee. Eevee learns Double Kick just like Pikachu does. Both recently got special moves revealed (Pikachu gets Splash Surf which can paralyze and Eevee gets Flare Burn which has a 100% chance of burning the opposing Pokemon). If the steelbook artwork is anything to go by, Pikachu will get another move based off of Fly while Eevee gets 7 new moves based off of its other evolutions.

While not battle-related, they both get field moves that replace Cut and Surf, there may be more, but Diagonal Cut and Water Walk are the only ones revealed right now.

Well you can use your PC from anywhere so even if you couldn't, it would take two seconds to just swap them out and use the move quickly~

Thank you, Tuoko!

My question is that will these new moves exist in future Pokemon Games?

The moves will probably exist in the games' coding (like eternal flower floette and Zygarde's moves in XY) to prevent any sort of glitches.
I think it’d also depend on whether or not the Pikachu/Eevee can be brought into Generation 8 games. If they cannot be transferred there would be simply no way to obtain these moves and if they could then the moves would probably remain exclusive to the particular Pikachu and Eevee.

Personally I hope these moves will be available to the Eeveelutions as moves learnt via evolution in Generation 8.

Hopefully Flare burn can make Flareon a little bit more useful. Lmao.

Fire's my favourite type so I'd like to see absolutely anything to have the fire Eeveelution become more useful.

 

[badwolf1234]

So eevee has 3 unique moves now the water one seems an hp draining move?

 

[Sakuraa]

New trailer. They're really going all out with Pikachu and Eevee's abilities. Eevee also gets a water and electric-type move and they can both fly the trainer around with balloons. They also each get a new special technique/move they can use based on friendship. I am just loving this.
