Do you need Switch Online for Pokemon Violet?
Best answer

Nope, you don't need Nintendo Switch Online just to play Pokemon Violet. You can enjoy the main game, explore, catch Pokemon, and complete quests all on your own without it. BUT if you wanna trade Pokemon with friends or battle against others online, then you'll need a Switch Online membership. So, it really depends on how you wanna play!

You absolutely need it if you want the full experience. Don't listen to anyone who says otherwise.

Honestly, not really unless you're super into battling and trading online. I've been playing Pokemon Violet and having a blast without Switch Online. Solo adventures ftw!
