Love it

I absolutely love this. It works great for playing Pokemon Lets Go and I could not imagine the experience playing without it. It fits perfectly in your hand and has just the right amount of weight to it. It also does not feel or look like a cheap product. As for using it for Pokemon go it works by pressing the button when pokemon are in range with a 50/50 chance to catch. It does however auto spin stops which has been perfect for driving around town and hitting stops without having to find places to part to hit them manually. All you have to do is turn off the pokemon notification and it will focus solely on auto spinning stops for you. Great for the park and zoo without having to have your phone in hand staring at a screen to spin stops.

Fun to use!

Playing Let's Go Eevee and Let's Go Pikachu is great. Unlike what many others will tell you, there's more inputs than you think. There's the joystick, which acts as the left thumbstick. Pressing down on the stick registers as A, pressing the top of the ball registers as B, shaking the ball one way registers as X and shaking it another way registers as Y. Though for X and Y I haven't really nailed down what motion I need to do in specific, it's kinda random for me. I do wish there was other ways to get Mew , but I'm not complaining. This ball isn't needed to play the game, but it really helps bring that immersion and helps you level up your Pokemon crazy fast when you take them out on a walk!!

It's cool, but not really needed if you dont have the switch.

It has a rechargeable battery and a mini joy stick for the switch. Other than that it's ok...lights up and has a good quality build. The mini joy stick serves no use because if you play the mobile game you press the top of the ball not the joy stick. Overall if you really want it then it's a good buy. I'm just going to stick to the go plus because it's more easy to carry around.

Highly recommend if you love Let’s Go!

Childhood dream realized! Works perfectly, taking your Pokémon out into the world and walk and play with them is so cool. The led is a different color depending on the Pokémon you pu inside, cries out in its unique call, and getting rewards when putting them back in game is awesome. I have 6 of these so I can take 6 out of my game when I’m away and using two as controllers for me and my daughter to play together in game is cool. Battery has never died on me as I charge when away and not taking them out on a run around our lake. My daughter uses one with Pokémon GO also.

Great Pokemon Go Plus replacer

If you play BOTH Pokémon Go and Let's Go, this is amazing. It's very easy to pair and reacts way faster than Pokémon Go Plus. The vibration is not as loud as Go Plus' and you can disable the sounds so that won't accidentaly make noises at improper places. You can take a Pokémon for a stroll from Let's Go, which will level up and gain candies there, also while a Pokémon is inside the ball, it will AUTO collect Poké Stops in Pokémon Go (only Poké Stops, though). Sadly, you CAN'T disable the VIBRATION, so you can't leave it on a table or use in really silent places, but the vibration is pretty loudless. For GOTCHA players, it's not way better since it WON'T auto catch as well, only auto spin. Since it's ball shaped, even though it's smaller than a common Poké Ball, it's still shaped as a ball, so it won't fit very good in your pockets because it's bigger than both Gotcha and Go Plus. The battery is ok, lasts a few days and charges pretty quickly. The box also contains a recharging cable so you won't need the charging stand unless you want it. You can also charge with Nintendo Switch's AC adapter. Also, the Mew bonus from purchasing can only be redeemed ONCE, so don't split it with your friends if you pretend to share Mew's.

Worth every penny

It comes with the legendary Pokemon Mew inside the ball I put Mew in the ball while he was level 1 took it4️⃣a walk in the car now it's level 20 & I didn't even have2️⃣put him in battle he got2️⃣level 20 by simply staying in the pokeball

Fun

I like it. It's fun to use and makes me wish I was a kid again

Worth the money

I wasn't planning on purchasing this controller originally (just seemed gimmicky and unneeded), but then a friend of mine told me about all the extras you get with it. First of all, you Mew comes WITH the controller! You can also take your in-game pokemon out for "walks" with you when you're not playing the game, which earns XP. You can also use it with your Pokemon Go account as well. Definitely worth the extra $50.

Pairing issue fix

Love it!!! Alerts you to both Pokemon and pokestops nearby. press top to attempt catching a Pokemon ( catch rate verys ), make sure you load up on normal balls (red ones) as those are the only ones it'll use to catch. Will auto spin most, If not all, available stops and gyms as long as there's a Pokemon in the ball ( at the time of this review: it comes with a mew inside, otherwise you'll need "let's go: Pikachu/Eevee" to add one ). Will spin/catch in background, or even while: catching, spinning, or battling. *PAIRING ISSUE* Phone model: Android G6. Ran into the problem where my phone would connect to the ball but the ball cannot connect to the game, after a number of hours of reading different forms, I tried a method where I had to download the app "go companion". After running that the ball connects no problem, it will sometimes disconnect after a hour or if Pokemon go crashes/restarts, but it's a easy fix.

Pokeball plus is so COOL!

This Pokeball controller is so awesome. It's a controller i've wanted for a long time and i couldn't br any happier if i tried. It lights up in the center when your catching a Pokemon, it makes the healing Pokemon jingle if you charge it, it even makes the Pokemon noise for whatever Pokemon you caught in it. Sure it's a little hard to use but you can adapt to it rather quickly plus it's fun to play the game using it. Like i said in the headline this Pokeball controller is awesome, denfently a musthave for anybody playing Lets Go Pikachu and Eevee
