Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, are like all main series games in that they have multiplayer features. These have, however, been scaled back to match the introduction nature of the games.
| Multiplayer | |
|
The multiplayer features are accessed at any time in the game. You can bring up the connection menu and select the multiplayer feature. Here, you can connect to other players using either local wireless or online Local just requires you to be in the proximity of the other player while Faraway requires a Nintendo Online Subscription |
 |
| Link Codes | |
|
Link Codes are a new way to guarantee connection to a specific trainer. You put in a code of 3 of 10 different Pokémon. If both players enter the same code, then they are connected. There are 1,000 different combinations, but because of this it is possible to connect to players you're not friends with who just happened to use the same code, so be careful as you may end up connected with a player you do not wish to connect with. |
 |
| Trades | |
|
Trading is once again possible locally and online, allowing for players to send Pokémon to eachother in order to fill up their Pokédex or just to share. This feature works similar to before, allowing you to select the Pokémon and see what Pokémon the other player is selecting in real time When both players have selected, then they have the ability to check the opponent's Pokémon. This includes checking its IVs and AVs to see if they are any good. |
 |
| Battles | |
|
Battles are in the game but only in two formats: Single and Double Battle. These are fairly standard. Once the players have connected them you get to choose between two rulesets
When the rules are set, you can then select the team. It offers the choice of your Party or the first 6 Pokémon in your box. Then, when selected, you have the option to look at what Pokémon the opponents are bringing. |
