To celebrate Pokémon Day, GameFreak announced that players will be able to connect Pokémon Scarlet and Violet to Pokémon Go. This feature was announced back in November 2022 before Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s release and with the game out, the feature has now been implemented. By connecting the two games, you’ll get Gimmighoul in Pokémon Go. You’ll also be able to send Postcards from Go to your trainer in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Many players are excited about this feature, but the question that’s on many peoples’ minds is: how do you connect Pokémon Scarlet and Violet to Pokémon Go?
