Huge Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! datamine leak reveals Kanto starter locations, Shiny stats, and more

A recent datamine of Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! and Let’s Go, Pikachu! has reportedly been discovered online, revealing a bunch of information about the titles ahead of their release on Nov. 16.
A Twitter user named Kurt has apparently received a huge list of datamined files from the downloadable version of the game and is slowly showcasing some key details, such as Pokémon locations, secret end-game information, and more.
In the datamine, fans have discovered that your starting Pokémon can’t be Shiny at any time, but any other Pokémon in the world can be. Starter Pokémon will also have perfect IVs, which means they’ll always have the best stats possible.

Information on where to find the original starter Pokémon from the Kanto region, alongside a host of other rare Pokémon, was also discovered in the datamine.
Charmander can be found on Route 24, Bulbasaur is available in Cerulean City, and Squirtle is relaxing in Vermillion City, for example. Lapras can also be discovered in Saffron City alongside Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan. Bulbsaurs can also be caught in Viridian Forest while Charmanders can be found in the Rock Tunnel. These are rare spawns, however, and won’t be easy to find.

In addition, the game will have 60 teachable moves in the form of TMs. Stationary encounter battles with Pokémon like Snorlax are timed (so you’ll need to catch them fast), and a bunch of new moves has also been revealed.
While fans should take any datamine with a grain of salt, the user behind these leaks was apparently also involved in the well-known Pokémon Sun and Moon leaks a few years ago—so there’s cause to be optimistic about all of this new information.
