    this is an excellently controller for Pokémon! I used this controller through the whole game and really enjoyed it. Also nice that it comes with new and adds features when away from the game. May seem a little pricey due to controller only working with the Pokémon games, but it is very nice to have!

    Kid loves it, only cost $20

    If your kid loves Pokémon and wishes they could have their own pokeball with a cute little Pokémon inside, then this is a great toy. Occasionally makes the sound of the Pokémon you put into it (using the Lets Go game). Works well with Pokémon Let’s Go for switch and it has lots of features for the Go app for your phone. Best part is the minutes tamagotchi-style in reactions you get when the ball vibrates and pretend to have a Pokémon trapped inside. Is trapped to harsh? I don’t know, maybe I’m projecting, I wouldn’t want to be stuck in there. But maybe Pokémon don’t mind. Good deal for $20 or less.

    Does exactly what it says on the tin. I got my Mew and it’s fun to carry around with a Pokémon inside. I wish it was a little bigger and/or a little cheaper but it’s still pretty cool so I can’t complain too much.

    I'm a pokemon nerd, and I didn't know what to expect with this pokeball. I knew it came with a mew, and I wanted to complete the pokedex to it's fullest. I bought it and I could not be happier with it. It functions great as a controller (only complaint is that it needs a notch to help keep it oriented properly. This way, you don't accidentally rotate it and have end up walking in the wrong direction) The fact that you can use it as an accessory for pokemon go is amazing as well! Overall, Its built well (with a soft plastic type of material) very durable (I've accidentally dropped it a few times while out and about since I wasn't using the wrist strap, but it still shows no signs of wear) and the battery life on the device is great as well. Would definitely recommend if you are playing pokemon go or either of the pokemon Let's Go games and are a pokemon fan

    I bought it for the switch but used it for Go on the phone, and it was awesome. I got a lot of use out of it and the battery lasts a long time. Double use so I’m content.

    This is Fun for Pokémon go on the phone and let’s go on switch. It works great on both. I find myself using it a lot more for Pokémon go since it has many uses such as automatically pulling items from poke stops.

    This is a good product. Extremely difficult to connect with my devices but once that is taken care of each time you want to use it it's great. Just don't lose signal or you'll have to connect all over again

    Unique Controller

    I purchased this to use with the Pokemon Let's go games and having Mew is kind of nice. Sadly this controller only works with the Let's go series as a controller, however you can use it in Sword and Shield to take your Pokemon out for walks. They will find useful items in Sword and Shield. You can get Mew in the Lets go games once you are able to use communication ability, or you can get him in Sword\Shield, kind of fun to start the game with a level 1 Mew. All in all I would get this but only if you are after Mew or are a fan of the series. It can take a little getting used to, just remember that the black band around the center is the direction of Right and left when you move.

    Works well for pokemon go. Not as much of a fan as a controller for Pokémon Let's Go Eevee. Worried the rubber on the top button will wear out. It also desyncs while using sometimes.

    This Poke Ball is a must for any players of the Pokemon Lets Go! games. It completes the entire experience and it is fully optimized for catching Pokemon in the game. It takes a little getting used too, although, and I wouldnt recommend if you have big hands for it will cause a serious cramp. (I have smaller hands for a guy so no issues) The sound effects, lights and vibrations are awesome. Its cool hearing battle noises and Pokemon cries through the controller. Plus it utilizes HD rumble which is neat. You can also pair the controller with your phone for added bonus and carry around one Pokemon from the game and earn candies and level them up. Let us not forget, it comes with Mew inside the Pokeball, (which can only be transferred to the game).

    I saw this controller at best buy and fell in love with it. Beatiful and works really well with let's go. You even get a mew to play on let's go. It could be cheaper, but you never go cheap with nintendo products.

    This is great for Pokemon go and an added bonus to use with Let's Go. Spins stops automatically for you which is super convenient. Can also catch Pokemon and alert you when they're around

    It's easier and a safer way to catch your Pokemon plus it can be used with Pokemon Go. Unfortunately it's also the only way to get "Mew" other than trading. A little overpriced for it's limited use.

    Great Pokémon Controller

    My daughter was so happy to get Let’s Go Picachu and this Poké ball controller with a Mew character inside of it. She will not use a regular Joy Con to play the game. When you catch a Pokémon, you can hear them inside of the Poké Ball. It is recharged using the included USB cord but there is also a charging base also available. So far, the charges have lasted pretty fair amounts of time considering how much she uses it. Overall, it was a good buy but make sure you do not get an open box version or the Mew will not be there as it is basically an included DLC item.

    If you are an avid Pokemon Go player, this will help you automatically collect items from Pokestops and build up your Pokemon collection without having to constantly stare at your phone while walking around in public. It does take some time to learn what all of the different lights patterns mean, but eventually you'll figure it out (or can search the web for more info).
