One of the ways the original release ofPokemon Yellowdistinguished itself fromRedandBluewas the ability of Pokemon trainers to have Pikachu follow them around the game world. That feature returns inPokemon Let’s Go PikachuandLet’s Go Eevee, but it’s taken a step further, with players even able to ride some of the Pokemon in the game.
InPokemon Let’s Go PikachuandLet’s Go Eevee, players can ride the 18 larger Pokemon in the games, ranging from Aerodactyl to Tauros. To ride a Pokemon inPokemon Let’s Go PikachuorLet’s Go Eevee, players need to select the Pokemon in their party that they want to ride, and then choose to take that Pokemon out of their Pokeball. If it’s one of the 18 Pokemon that can be ridden, players will automatically mount the creatures when they’re taken out of the Pokeball.
Here are all the Pokemon players can ride inPokemon Let’s Go PikachuandLet’s Go Eevee:
