Last updated
Ever wondered how to bridge the gap between your outdoor adventures with Pokemon GO and your cozy gaming sessions on the Nintendo Switch? Well, you’re in the right place to find out!
Connecting Pokemon GO to your Nintendo Switch can seem like a mystery at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a breeze. Let’s dive into how you can make this awesome connection happen.
Quick Steps to Connect Pokemon GO to Your Nintendo Switch
First things first, you need both your mobile device with Pokemon GO installed and your Nintendo Switch. Make sure both devices are charged and ready to go!
Here’s the simple process: Open Pokemon GO on your phone, go to Settings, and find the option that says ‘Nintendo Switch’ connection. On your Switch, launch the game that supports Pokemon GO connectivity, like ‘Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!’ or ‘Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee!’ and head to the settings in the game to link with Pokemon GO. Voila! You should see a prompt on both devices confirming the connection.
Why Connect Pokemon GO With Your Nintendo Switch?
Wondering why you should even bother connecting these two? Well, for starters, it unlocks new and exciting ways to play and interact with your Pokemon. You can transfer Pokemon caught in Pokemon GO to your Switch games, opening up new possibilities and fun in-game rewards. Plus, it’s an amazing way to make your gaming experience more dynamic and interconnected.
And let’s not forget, it’s just plain cool to see your outdoor captures show up on your big screen, ready for new adventures.
