What you need to know about Pokémon Poké Ball Plus?

How do Poké Ball™ Plus work with Nintendo Switch?
Poké Ball Plus actually have a control stick (the button in the center) and a top button (Red top part of the Pokéball ball). It also have motion control capability to capture the throwing of Pokéball like the joy-con. In short, it is like a joy-con but minus off some buttons.


The Pokéball Plus have LED light (Around the center control circle) and also speaker to play sound of the Pokémon.

It also will vibrate like a Joy-con. It can simulate that a Pokémon is inside the Pokéball Plus.

It offer a function to load a Pokémon inside and you can bring it with you (not too sure if you need the Nintendo Switch with you also for it to work but likely).

How Pokéball Plus work with Pokémon™ GO?
Pokéball Plus has the exact function of the Pokémon Go plus when you connect it on your smart phone with Pokémon™ GO app.

Like Pokémon Go plus, it offer the screen-free function which you can catch Pokémon without looking at your smartphone. When a Pokémon appears nearby, Poké Ball Plus will light up and vibrate. To catch press the button and it will auto catch the Pokémon (Not 100% catch tho).

The color of the LED light will indicate if you succeeded or failed in your catch.

The Poké Ball Plus connected to your smartphone Pokémon GO app, it will hatch Eggs and get Candy of your Buddy Pokémon.

In short, if you get this, this will replace your current Pokémon Go plus.

Specs 
The Pokéball Plus has the 48mm diameter and weight about 65 grams.

The battery of this Pokéball Plus has a inbuilt re-chargable battery of 220mAh (about 3 hours of playing) which is rechargeable by USB type-C cable. The battery is lower than a normal Joy-Con which has battery capacity of 525 mAh.

The price of this Pokéball Plus would be around USD$50.00 and releasing in 16th November 2018. As this is accessories, you can buy it separately.

Smart way to get the money from  Pokémon Go players I must say.
