To transfer your Pokémon to Switch, you will first need to link your Pokémon Go account to Pokémon Let’s Go. Start by going to the Go Complex in Parmania in your Pokémon Let’s Go game. Once inside, talk to the man behind the counter at the far left to initiate the process. On your phone, activate the GPS and Bluetooth functions. Go back to Pokémon Let’s Go, go to the menus and select “link a Pokémon Go account”. Do the same on your phone by selecting “connect to Nintendo Switch” which is at the bottom in the app settings. Wait a few moments. If your phone is compatible, you should see the message “Do you want to link the account to Pokémon Let’s Go?”. Accept, and your accounts are now linked.
To transfer your Pokémon, select the Matched option by talking to the same NPC at the Go Complex. Do the same on your smartphone by tapping the Switch icon in the top right of your page showing owned Pokémon. Then choose the ones you want to transfer to the Switch, and do the transfer. For each Pokémon you send to Pokémon Let’s Go, you will receive a mystery box that will allow you to catch Meltan on Pokémon Go for 30 minutes. On Pokémon Let’s Go, you can capture transferred Pokémon by talking to the NPC and entering the Park.
