Poké Ball Plus

The Poké Ball Plus (Japanese: モンスターボール Plus  Plus) is a device shaped like a Poké Ball that will be released for use with Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! and Pokémon GO on November 16, 2018.

With its motion control capabilities, it can be used to play Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! in place of the Joy-Con. The device can be used to catch Pokémon in-game, and the device will light up, vibrate, and play the Pokémon's cry when the Pokémon is caught. A Pokémon can also be transferred from these games to the Poké Ball Plus, and if the device is gently shaken, the Pokémon inside will make a sound and the device will vibrate. If the Pokémon is sent back into the game, various positive events can occur. The Mythical Pokémon can exclusively be obtained in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! by transferring it from the Poké Ball Plus.

Poké Ball Plus can also be used in place of a Pokémon GO Plus. When a Pokémon appears nearby in Pokémon GO, the Poké Ball Plus will light up and vibrate. A button on the device can be pressed, allowing the player to throw a Poké Ball, and the Poké Ball Plus will light up in a different pattern to inform the player that the Pokémon has been caught. The device can also count steps, allowing eggs to be hatched and candy to be obtained from Buddy Pokémon.
