Master Trainers
Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! introduce a new feature, Master Trainers
. After defeating the Elite Four, 150 advanced trainers will be scattered across the Kanto region, each of whom specialise in a single Pokémon, from Bulbasaur all the way to Mew, plus the GO-exclusives Meltan/Melmetal. They are each indicated with an icon of their favorite Pokémon above their head.
However, it's not just a case of pitting your best team against them. Battles are 1v1 and you must use the same Pokémon as the Master Trainer. So for example a Venusaur must be used against the Venusaur trainer. No items are allowed to be used. The Master Trainers' Pokémon also have surprising moves that are often super-effective against themselves, such as Pinsir with Rock Slide.
Defeating each of these trainers earns you a title such as Psyduck Master
for beating the Psyduck Master Trainer.
Not all Master Trainers require battling - Ditto, and the legendary Pokémon Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Mewtwo do not require battles, but instead must be shown a truly powerful
version of the Pokémon (one with a high CP).
