Trace (Japanese: シン Shin) is the rival character of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! and a childhood friend of the player. He is analogous to Blue's role in the Generation I games and their remakes, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
In the core series games
Trace is a good-natured, if not cowardly young boy from Pallet Town. Like the player, his journey begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab to give them a Pokémon each. Trace's first Pokémon is a normal EeveeP/PikachuE that eventually evolves into JolteonP/RaichuE. Trace travels the Kanto region, defeating Gym Leaders while assisting the player with advice and items.
In Lavender Town, Trace learns about the evil deeds of Team Rocket, and meets the son of a Marowak that died protecting it. After Cubone calms his mother's spirit near the top of Pokémon Tower, Trace takes him back to Lavender Town, where he adopts him into his party, and swears to help him avenge its mother, giving him the resolve to become a braver person and a stronger Trainer. Trace, Cubone, and the rest of Trace's party help the player fight Team Rocket at Silph Co., fighting Archer in a Multi Battle and later holding off the Team Rocket Admin while the player confronts Giovanni. Eventually, Trace becomes the Champion at Indigo Plateau, though he soon loses his title to the player. Later, he tells the player about a powerful Pokémon in Cerulean Cave and keeps rematching them at the Pokémon League in an attempt to reclaim his title.

Pokémon Evolutions
Trace appeared in The Discovery, where he entered Cerulean Cave in order to find and catch Mewtwo, with Green aiming to beat him to it. When Trace's Pidgeot was attacked by a swarm of Zubat and Golbat while flying over a ravine, he stopped to heal his Pokémon and allowed Green to go ahead. Later, he met up with Green and Elaine at Professor Oak's Laboratory before heading off with them.
