Pokemon: Let`s Go Pikachu and Let`s Go Eevee may be geared toward newer and younger players, but that doesn`t mean they`ll be entirely devoid of challenge, especially once you`ve conquered the Pokemon League.

What makes these trainers particularly challenging is that you`ll only be able to compete against them using the Pokemon they specialize in; for instance, you can only battle the Charizard Master Trainer using your own Charizard.Further ramping up the challenge, their Pokemon will also know unexpected moves that give them an advantage over you; in the reveal trailer, you can see a Master Trainer`s Gyarados using Thunderbolt. You also won`t be able to use any items or switch Pokemon during these battles.If you defeat a Master Trainer, you`ll earn their title, which you can display in-game to other players when challenging them to Link Battles.
