Ever wondered if you can swap your cool Pokémon from Switch to Pokémon GO? Well, you’re not alone in this quest!

Many Pokémon enthusiasts are curious if it’s possible to trade Pokémon from their beloved Switch games to Pokémon GO, and vice versa.

Short Answer: Yes, but with a Twist

Yes, you can transfer Pokémon from certain Nintendo Switch games to Pokémon GO, but it’s not exactly trading in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s a one-way transfer from the Switch to Pokémon GO. So, choose wisely because once a Pokémon leaves the Switch, it can’t go back!

Compatible games for this magical transfer include Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!. Here’s the kicker: to make this happen, you need both a Switch and a mobile device running Pokémon GO. Plus, make sure both devices are logged into the same Nintendo account to ensure a smooth transfer.

Connecting Switch and Pokémon GO: A How-To Guide

To start transferring, first open Pokémon GO on your mobile device. Head to the settings and select ‘Nintendo Switch’ to pair your devices. Then, on your Switch, navigate to the GO Park complex in Fuchsia City (a cool spot in the Let’s Go games) and boom – you’re ready to transfer!

Keep in mind, this process primarily benefits Pokémon GO players by adding new creatures to their collection. Plus, doing this unlocks the ability to catch the mythical Pokémon Meltan, which turns into Melmetal, a powerful addition to any team.
