Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee: 11 Tips, Tricks & Hidden Features You Didn't Know

8. Catching Is MUCH Easier In Handheld Mode

I cannot stress this enough: If you're sick of trying to wag the joy-con in a direction approximating the target pokémon, just switch to handheld mode.

Here the game shifts to not only let you move around with the left joy-con as buttons stay on the right, but catching is done with gyroscope aiming, rather than flicking at the screen.

Far, FAR more accurate than motion controls, this means you can line up shots on difficult or rare pokémon with ease. It might feel strange running to grab your Switch out its dock during a high-stakes encounter, but trust me, the benefits are tenfold.

Plus, no more wasted pokéballs.
