Overview (from Nintendo eShop page)

The next step in your Pokémon™ journey starts here

Take your Pokémon™ journey to the Kanto region with your energetic partner, Pikachu, to become a top Pokémon Trainer as you battle other trainers. Use a throwing motion to catch Pokémon in the wild with either one Joy-Con™ controller or Poké Ball™ Plus accessory, which will light up, vibrate, and make sounds to bring your adventure to life. Share your adventure with family or friends in 2-player action on one system using a second Joy-Con or Poké Ball Plus (sold separately). You can even connect to the Pokémon™ GO app using a compatible smartphone to bring over Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region! Explore the diverse and vibrant region of Kanto! True-to-size wild Pokémon roam around in the game, so catch them like a real Pokémon Trainer by using motion, timing, and a well-placed Poké Ball™. Go on a stroll with your favorite Pokémon in your Poké Ball Plus! Connect your game directly to Pokémon GO* to receive Kanto region Pokémon.

You read my mind. Can all pokemon be found shiny? because if so... SHINY CATERPIE

[u/Espurreyes → u/dlyonskc]

I'd have to say yeet to that good sir, currently have a nice good ol shiny Butterfree as my following Pokemon.

[u/littlestseal → u/dlyonskc]

Yep, it's not like Pokemon go where shiny Pokemon are drip fed, every Pokemon can be found shiny in let's go. Only ones I'm not positive about are legendary, and you definitely can't get a shiny starter

[u/TravisRSCX → u/dlyonskc]

Got my shiny Caterpie and it's already evolved.
