The '''Poké Ball Plus''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール Plus''' ''{{tt|Monster Ball|Poké Ball}} Plus'') is a device shaped like a [[Poké Ball]] that was released for use with [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and [[Pokémon GO]] on November 16, 2018.


==In the core series games==
The Poké Ball Plus, along with its motion control capabilities, includes 2 buttons: a Top Button and a Control Stick on the center, which acts as both a button and a joystick.
With its motion control capabilities, it can be used to play Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! in place of the Joy-Con. The device can be used to [[Caught Pokémon|catch Pokémon]] in-game, and the device will light up, vibrate, and play the Pokémon's [[cry]] when the Pokémon is caught. A Pokémon can also be transferred from these games to the Poké Ball Plus, and if the device is gently shaken, the Pokémon inside will make a sound and the device will vibrate. If the Pokémon is sent back into the game, various positive events can occur. If the Pokémon is in [[Day Care]], the game won't allow it to be transferred back until it is picked up.
 
==In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!==
The Poké Ball Plus can be used to play Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! in place of the Joy-Con. The pressing the top button acts the same as pushing the B or X buttons on the Joy-Con; the control stick acts as both the joystick to control movement and the A button when pressed.
 
The device can be used to [[Caught Pokémon|catch Pokémon]] in-game via motion control, and the device will light up, vibrate, and play the Pokémon's [[cry]] when the Pokémon is caught. Pressing the top button and control stick simultaneously will toggle between muting and unmuting the cry sounds.
 
===Strolling===
Players can choose to take a Pokémon from Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! on a stroll and earn rewards for their [[Nintendo Switch]] game, including a variety of [[item]]s and [[experience]] for the strolling Pokémon. This can be done by opening the Save menu and selecting "Take your Pokémon for a stroll". Players can either choose to store their [[partner Pokémon]] or select one from their [[Pokémon Storage System|Pokémon Box]]. During this time, the strolling Pokémon can still be used in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. The Poké Ball Plus can only hold one Pokémon's data at a time, players can stroll Pokémon in multiple Poké Ball Plus devices. To redeem their rewards, players can take their Pokémon back from strolling by selecting the stroll option again from the Save menu. If the Pokémon is in [[Day Care]], the game won't allow it to be transferred back until it is picked up.
 
While strolling, the player can initiate play mode by holding down the Control Stick for two seconds, until the lights up. To play, the player can either gently shake the device or rotate the Control Stick, and in response, the Poké Ball Plus will light up, vibrate, and sound the strolling Pokémon's cry. In play mode, a Pokémon may randomly callout to the player, who can respond by playing. During a stroll, players can also connect the Poké Ball Plus to Pokémon GO, earning more potential for rewards if the device is used to spin Photo Discs or capture Pokémon in GO.
 
====Counters====
While strolling, the Poké Ball Plus keeps track of several counters that determine the amount of rewards earned at the end of the stroll. Counters are kept for both the individual stroll and for milestones of the player's entire history of strolls, and item rewards are earned for both. For each count, the contained Pokémon will earn a certain amount of [[experience]] upon returning from its stroll.

After seeing the results for that stroll, the player will then be shown the entire history of strolls along with milestones that were just reached.

The Poké Ball Plus can also be used in place of a [[Pokémon GO Plus]].

In Pokémon GO

The Poké Ball Plus can also be used in place of a Pokémon GO Plus. If the Poké Ball Plus contains a strolling Pokémon from Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, then using the Poké Ball Plus in GO can potentially increase rewards earned for those games. When connected to GO, the Poké Ball Plus's pedometer can count steps, which can go towards hatching Eggs or receiving candy from Buddy Pokémon.

When a Pokémon appears nearby in Pokémon GO, the Poké Ball Plus will light up and vibrate. The player can choose to throw a Poké Ball from their bag in GO by pressing the Top Button, and then the device will light up different colors depending on whether the catch was successful or not. If near a Photo Disc of a PokéStop or Gym, the device will light up and vibrate, and if it contains a strolling Pokémon, it will attempt to automatically spin the stop.
