1. From fun little apps to useful tools—the all-purpose Pokétch!
The Pokétch is a handy gadget you’ll receive on your journey that’s loaded up with various apps. As you proceed through your adventure, you’ll get more and more apps to use. This all-purpose tool has apps for all sorts of situations, such as the Dowsing Machine to help find hidden items and the Memo Pad for when you’d like to take some quick notes.
The Digital Watch is one of the first apps available on your Pokétch. If you ever lose track of time during your adventure, this app will have your back. 
You can use the Memo Pad not only for writing, but also for drawing pictures! Use this app however you please.
The Dowsing Machine can help you locate hidden items. You might even find something rare! 
The Friendship Checker shows how close you’ve grown with your Pokémon—the more hearts there are, the closer they feel to you.

Adjust the camera angle and zoom level, then press the Nintendo Switch’s Capture Button, or press and hold the Capture Button to record video.
