How Does The Pokemon Go Plus+ Work?

The button itself contains a pressable white circle on its face. Once clicked, it will light up white to show it is in pairing mode. In order to pair it to either of the apps, players will need to go to the menu that explains how to connect them.

Pairing in Pokemon Sleep

Here’s how to pair your Pokemon Go Plus + with the Pokemon Sleep app:

• Launch Pokemon Sleep
• Press “Main Menu”
• Press “Settings and More”
• Under “Pokemon Go Plus +” press “Pair a Device”
• Follow the steps by pressing the buttons on the Pokemon Go Plus + device when prompted
• A successful pair will be indicated by an excited Pikachu cry

Once it is connected to Pokemon Sleep, it will provide further help in teaching players how all the options and features work. When it comes time for bed, the button can be clicked to begin sleep checking, and Pikachu will sing an adorable lullaby. This can be turned off by clicking the center button again.

In the morning, open Pokemon Sleep and transfer the data from the Pokemon Go Plus + over to the app. This device also plays Pokemon cries when clicked in the mobile game, which adds to the adorableness of the button.

Pairing in Pokemon Go

Here’s how to pair your Pokemon Go Plus + with the Pokemon Go app:

• Launch Pokemon Go
• Press the Pokeball icon at the bottom
• Press the Settings icon in the top right corner
• Select “Connected Devices and Services”
• Select “Accessory Devices” and allow Bluetooth connections
• Follow the instruction on screen to begin pairing

When using it in Pokemon Go, it will automatically catch Pokemon based on the settings selected and spin PokeStops. This is supposed to make it more convenient for players while they are out running errands to play the game without having to look at their screen as much. However, Pokemon Go will have to remain up on the mobile phone otherwise, the Pokemon Go Plus+ button will disconnect.

The button goes through a number of different lights, including red, yellow, white, green, and a rainbow effect. Each one has different means for each mobile app.

Red normally means it was disconnected or failed to catch a Pokemon.

White means it is connecting or transferring data or in pairing mode.

Green means it successfully caught a Pokemon.

Yellow means there is a Pokemon encountered in Pokemon Go that the player hasn’t caught yet before.

These are almost all the functions that the button will provide to the individual Pokemon experiences. Some players have questioned if the Pokemon Go Plus+ Button gets warm with using, especially with tracking sleep all throughout the night, and no, it does not. The button remains feeling as if it wasn’t even on, feeling room temperature.
