The games have been out a while and we have covered the vast majority of the game at this point, so our coverage is starting to slow down. If there is anything you wish to see covered, be sure to contact us.
Our Let's Go Pokédex has all the data for all 153 Pokémon in the game while our Pokéarth Section has full details on everything in each route with our Item Database listing full locations of every item in the game. Our Let's Go Section also has full information on everything from special trainers to Catch Combos

Edit @ 20:53: With Trainer Battles, there are 3 Battle Leagues: Great League, Ultra League & Master League. These leagues restrict what Pokémon you can use based upon their CP so you can't have certain high CP Pokémon in certain leagues
Edit @ 21:11: Great League is max CP of 1,500, Ultra League ismax of 2,500 CP and Master League has no limit
Edit @ 21:16: You can only use 3 Pokémon when battling in Leagues
