What Pokemon Can I Ride in Pokemon Let's Go?
By Jeff Kotuby ·
Let's be honest with ourselves for a second - we've all wanted to ride our favorite Pokemon around (at least it would help us beat traffic, right?) In Pokemon Let's Go, that dream can become a reality. Here's which Pokemon you can ride:

Pokemon Let's Go is one of the first Pokemon games to allow players to ride one of their favorite creatures around without using a Hidden Machine (HM) to do so. Who needs a Bicycle when you've got an Arcanine or a Charizard, right? There are only a few Pokemon that are large enough to be ridden around, so tell your Pidgey to not worry - it's not on the list. Courtesy of Twitter user mattyoukhana_, here's the list of Pokemon you can ride in Let's Go.
Pokemon You Can Ride on The Ground
- Arcanine (Obviously.)
- Dodrio (Channel your inner Donkey Kong Country!)
- Haunter (Yes, you can ride a ghost)
- Kangaskhan (Does she put you in the pouch?)
- Machamp (Ride on its shoulders like you're a champion!)
- Onix (Must be very uncomfortable.)
- Persian (Yes, the 3'3", 70lb Persian can carry you around.)
- Rapidash (See Onix.)
- Rhyhorn (See Onix.)
- Rhydon (See Onix.)
- Snorlax (Does it take three steps then fall back asleep?)
- Starmie (Sorry to disappoint you, but it does not walk on its peg legs. It floats.)
- Tauros (Does it buck while you're on it?)
Pokemon You Can Ride in the Water
You can also ride Gyarados and Lapras using Sea Skim, but only in the water. It would be downright cruel to make your Water-type Pokemon flop around on the ground (which makes Starmie's inclusion on the list that much weirder.) This effectively functions just like Surf in the main series games, where you'll encounter Pokemon in the water.
Pokemon You Can Ride in the Air
Once you defeat the Elite Four, you'll be able to ride your Aerodactyl, Charizard, and Dragonite around in the sky! You'll be able to encounter Flying-type Pokemon in the air, as well as fly over some smaller buildings.
What's that? You don't have an Aerodactyl? In that case, come check out how to get your hands on one of Pokemon's coolest prehistoric beasts and start flying around town!
