Secret Techniques (Japanese:ヒジュツSecret Technique) are skills that apartnerPikachu orEevee can learn and use outside ofbattle inPokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. LikeHM moves orRide Pokémon, Secret Techniques can clear obstacles or transport theplayer. Secret Techniques can be used from the "Play with Pikachu/Eevee" menu.

According to the captain of theS.S. Anne, Secret Techniques are typically performed byhumans, but the player's partner has an unusual affinity for the abilities, and is able to perform them for the player.
