As Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! is launching this November, a special accessory for the game – the Poké Ball Plus is revealed to be released along with the new titles. However, it doesn’t only serve to catch Pokémon in the Nintendo Switch, it could aid you on Pokémon GO as well!
You could connect the Poké Ball-shaped controller to your smartphone via Bluetooth, then play Pokémon GO without holding your smartphone. You can even put your smartphone to sleep while you are capturing Pokémon around!
When a Pokémon or a PokéStop appears nearby, the controller will light up (different color indicates different status) and vibrate. You can throw a virtual Poké Ball easily just by pressing the button on it, and if you’ve successfully captured a Pokémon or receive an item, it will light up in multicolors lights.
You can review your newly received Pokémon and items later. It tracks the distance you walk too so you can hatch Eggs and get Candy for your Buddy Pokémon. You can find more information about the Poké Ball Plus or get yourself one of it on their official site!
