Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu and Eevee are here with a brand new rival for players, and we have his name and more covered for you.
The latest installment in the legendary Nintendo franchise of Pokemon has arrived with two versions in Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu and Eevee. As with every other entry in the franchise, a major character in the story of the new game is your rival. From picking the opposite starter Pokemon from you to engaging in multiple battles to see who is the stronger trainer, your rival in Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu and Eevee will become a very familiar face. However, if you are curious about learning more about this Lets Go Pikachu and Eevee character, such as their name, we have everything you need to know covered.
Pokemon Lets Go Rival
The official name of your rival in Lets Go Pikachu and Eevee is Trace, and he will be the one character in the game who will always be pushing you to become a stronger trainer. Trace will pick the starter that you do not choose as his, so if you pick Pikachu Trace will begin his adventure with Eevee and vice versa.
Fans of the popular Nintendo franchise will remember the rival in each previous game to be more of an adversary that you would likely not like to invite over to your Sunday dinners. However, Pokemon Lets Go sees your rival who possesses the name of Trace be more of a friendly rival who will help you out in your adventures, such as pointing you in the direction of the nearest gym and encouraging you to battle the Gym Leader, instead of looking to take a wise crack at you and prove themselves as a superior trainer anytime they get a chance to.
From assembling his own team of strong Pokemon and doing battle with you to being a friendly face that you will run into throughout your exciting adventures in Pokemon Lets Go, Trace the Rival is an essential character in the story of the first major title in the franchise to grace the Nintendo Switch console.
