At the start of your tale, you will encounter Pikachu. This Pikachu will join you as your partner in
your adventures, growing together with you on your journey. Don't let their adorable expressions
fool you into thinking that cuteness is all they offer, though. Your partner will be a dependable
ally in battle, too.
The games utilize the abilities of the Nintendo Switch to add new and more accessible ways to
experience Pokémon and play in the Pokémon universe. Now you can use your Nintendo
Switch's Joy-Con to toss a Poké Ball at your target with one hand, either by pressing a button
or flicking your wrist. With fewer buttons and intuitive action, it's never been simpler. By sharing
one of the Joy-Con controllers with a partner, two players can adventure at the same time.
Throw Poké Balls together when you encounter Pokémon to boost your chances of successfully
catching them, or have a friend lend a hand by joining you in battles against Trainers in your game.
