How to Connect Pokemon GO with Your Nintendo Switch
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can link up your Pokemon GO adventure to your Nintendo Switch? Let’s dive into that!
Connecting Pokemon GO with your Nintendo Switch might sound like wizardry, but it’s really quite simple, and we’re here to guide you through it.
Quick Steps to Connect
To start, make sure both your mobile device and Nintendo Switch are powered on and connected to the internet. Open Pokemon GO on your mobile device and head to the settings menu by tapping the Poke Ball icon, then the gear icon.
In the settings menu, scroll until you find the ‘Nintendo Switch’ option. Tap on it, and then select ‘Connect to Nintendo Switch’. Meanwhile, on your Nintendo Switch, launch the game you want to connect with (like Pokemon Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokemon Let’s Go, Eevee!) and head to the options where you’ll find ‘Open Pokemon GO settings’. Confirm the connection on both devices, and voila, you’re connected!
Why Connect to Your Switch?
Connecting Pokemon GO to your Nintendo Switch has some cool perks. For starters, you can transfer Pokemons between Pokemon GO and the Pokemon Let’s Go series. It’s a fantastic way to fill up your Pokedex in the Switch games. Plus, transferring a Pokemon to your Switch game rewards you with handy items in Pokemon GO, like candies for that Pokemon species.
But that’s not all! Connecting the two can also unlock the mystery box in Pokemon GO, which spawns the mythical Pokemon Meltan for a limited time. Catching Meltan and evolving it into Melmetal could be a game-changer for your adventures in both the mobile and Switch games.
