Pokémon Let's Go Route 20 east and Route 20 west - available Pokémon, items and trainers

Our complete Pokémon Let's Go walkthrough and guide to your big adventure with Pikachu or Eevee.

Route 20 east and Route 20 west are two parts of the water-based route that follows on from the bottom of Route 19 in your quest through Pokémon Let's Go's main story, and are split either side of Seafoam Islands.

Below, we'll cover any and all of the obtainable Pokémon, item locations, trainers and their squads that you might encounter in the area, as well as walking you through any key steps of the story along the way.

We've also opted to break out walkthrough pages down into sections, referring to each of your visits to a given location, seeing as you often backtrack or revisit various places in your quest to become Champion! Where applicable, we'll split our page into one section for each visit, and of course if there are any, clearly mark any spoilers, too!

Pokémon Let's Go: Route 20 east - available Pokémon, items and trainers

Route 20 east is more of the same after Route 19 really, only with the addition of one more wild Pokémon to be caught. Surf westwards until you come up on dry land at Seafoam Islands, which is a big dungeon you'll need to clear before progressing on to Route 20 west, that we cover below!

Note that some exterior parts of the Seafoam Islands count as Route 20, like this spot by Picknicker Irene!
