<p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/pokemon-lets-go-eevee/">Pokemon: Let&#8217;s Go Pikachu and Let&#8217;s Go Eevee</a> may be consciously geared toward newer and younger players, but that doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;ll be entirely devoid of challenge, particularly once you&#8217;ve conquered the Pokemon League. The Pokemon Company revealed new details about the games&#8217; Master Trainers, tough opponents who&#8217;ll only appear around the region after you&#8217;ve beaten the Elite Four.</p>
<p>Each Master Trainer specializes in one particular Pokemon, and The Pokemon Company says there will be one Master Trainer for every monster from the Kanto region. You&#8217;ll be able to easily tell them apart from other trainers on the overworld by their different clothing, and each will have a speech bubble above their heads indicating which Pokemon they use.</p>
<p>Most of the Master Trainers will challenge you to a battle, although some will instead have a request, such as showing them a powerful Pokemon. What makes these trainers particularly challenging is that you&#8217;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.</p>

<p>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&#8217;s Gyarados using Thunderbolt. You also won&#8217;t be able to use any items or switch Pokemon during these battles.</p>
<p>If you defeat a Master Trainer, you&#8217;ll earn their title, which you can display in-game to other players when challenging them to Link Battles. You can get a closer look at the Master Trainers in the new trailer above. Make sure to watch to the end, as the video is capped off with a humorous nod to the <a href="https://thumbs.gfycat.com/MinorBriskFritillarybutterfly-size_restricted.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener">greatest battle ever</a> depicted in the Pokemon anime series.</p>
<p>Pokemon: Let&#8217;s Go Pikachu and Eevee launch for Nintendo Switch on November 16. We recently <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-lets-go-pikachu-and-eevee-introduce-some-w/1100-6462533/">went hands-on with the games</a> and thought they made some welcome changes to the series, as well as some concerning ones. We also got to speak with Let&#8217;s Go director Junichi Masuda about the <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-lets-go-pikachu-and-eevee-update-pokemon-yello/1100-6462538/">challenges of updating Pokemon Yellow</a> and <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-dev-explains-why-your-rivals-arent-jerks-a/1100-6462397/">why your rivals aren&#8217;t jerks anymore</a>.</p>
