Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, Nintendo Switch - OLED Model

Follow these steps to pair the Poké Ball Plus accessory with a Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch console.

Before you start

In order to complete the pairing process, you must have one of the following games:

  • Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!
  • Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!

Complete these steps

  1. Start the Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! game from the HOME Menu. Once the desired language has been selected, the controller selection screen will be displayed.
  2. Within this screen, press either the Top Button or the control stick button once on Poké Ball Plus.
    • When the connection is made with the Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch console, the icon for Poké Ball Plus will turn red.
  3. Press either the Top Button or the control stick button again, then select Confirm to use Poké Ball Plus as a controller.

Additional information

  • Once the Poké Ball Plus is paired to the console, the control stick button acts as the A Button, while the Top Button acts as the B Button.
  • When playing a supported game using Poké Ball Plus, pressing the Top Button will open the game menu.
  • By gently shaking Poké Ball Plus twice within the menu screen, the settings screen will open.
  • When playing a 2-player game, each player can use a Poké Ball Plus to control their character - so two Poké Ball Plus accessories can be used at the same time.
