Pokémon Scarlet and Violet aim to change up the traditional Pokémon formula in a few ways. The world is wide open for you to explore shortly after you first visit your school. It also offers a new way to have your Pokémon explore with you via Let's Go mode. Here's how to use it in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

To use Let’s Go mode in the open world, press the R button. This will send the top Pokémon on your active party list into the open world. From there, they’ll walk alongside you, picking up nearby items and challenging other wild Pokémon. Battles will automatically complete based on the level and types of the opposing Pokémon. You’ll always earn less EXP from battling this way because it’s shorter, but you’re also guaranteed to receive crafting components after each battle, making it an effective way to farm them.

There are a few important things to note about this game mode. Using Let’s Go may be required to evolve certain new Pokémon, such as Pawmo. And if you’re worried about accidentally missing a chance to catch a shiny Pokémon, fear not. If your Pokémon encounters a shiny Pokémon in the field, it will shake its head and refuse to battle. Let’s Go mode can actually be an effective method of detecting shiny Pokémon in the wild when they’re hard to spot.
