About this game

Solve mysteries with the personality-packed Detective Pikachu! Unravel a series of mysteries across Ryme City with a tough-talking, coffee-loving Pikachu who calls himself a great detective. This Pikachu may have a self-assured attitude and talk like a middle-aged man, but he somehow manages to keep his lovable charm. Together with his partner Tim Goodman, this great detective duo cracks several cases with the help of the many Pokémon and people who live in Ryme City.

In the human-and-Pokémon metropolis of Ryme City, young Tim Goodman and his wisecracking partner, the coffee-loving talking Detective Pikachu, continue their search for Tim's missing father Harry while taking on new cases. When a wave of strange Pokémon-related incidents disrupts the city and a priceless jewel is stolen during a public ceremony, the unlikely duo are pulled into a sprawling new mystery. Following clues, questioning witnesses, and teaming up with the Pokémon they meet, Tim and Pikachu work to crack the case and uncover the hidden forces stirring up chaos across Ryme City.
