Let's Go Pikachu Eevee Legendary Pokemon
Tips for catching legendaries in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee
- It's a good idea to save before going into a battle. If you fail to catch one of the Legendary Birds on your first attempt, you'll need to wait until you've defeated the Elite Four to try again.
- The catch rate of the Legendary Birds is quite high, so a few Ultra Balls should be plenty. A Master Ball is the easiest way to catch Mewtwo, but is not required. Keep in mind that you can obtain multiple Master Balls.
- All legendary encounters in this game can be shiny, but you won't be able to tell until the battle has begun. Unlike other Pokemon in these games, there is no overworld indication that a Legendary Pokemon is shiny.

How to Catch Mew and Mewtwo in Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee
How to Catch Mewtwo in LGPE
How to Catch Mewtwo in Let's Go Pikachu or Eevee version:
Mewtwo is the only Pokemon that can only be obtained once per game (except by trading) in Let's Go Pikachu or Let's Go Eevee. To catch Mewtwo, you'll need to navigate through Cerulean Cave near Cerulean City. The cave can only be accessed after the Elite Four has been defeated.
Unlike the Legendary birds, Mewtwo can be rather difficult to catch. This makes him a good candidate for the Master Ball. However, he won't run away, so you can keep tossing balls at him until he's caught as long as you have them.
How to get Mew in LGPE
How to get Mew in Let's Go Pikachu or Eevee version:
Like many previous Pokemon games, there is no way to catch Mew in game. The only way to obtain Mew is to transfer one from a Pokeball Plus ($50) purchased near the launch of the games, or trade with someone who did. If you've done this, complete the following steps to get Mew:
- Pair your Pokeball Plus Controller and select it as your primary controller for playing.
- Choose "Comunications" and then "Mystery Gift" from the menu.
- Choose "From Pokeball Plus".
- A Lv. 1 Mew will be transferred to your game, directly to your PC box. It is guranteed to have at least 3 perfect IVs.
