Best Pokémon-themed Nintendo Switch Accessories for Pokémon Sword and Shield in 2019

This cross-shoulder backpack makes it easy to travel with your Nintendo Switch and any other accessories you wish to take with you. It's large enough to fit your Switch or Switch Lite while in a hardshell case. I love the black and yellow coloring and the awesome-looking Pikachu tail at the bottom. There's also a Poké Ball-themed option as well.

This impressive wireless Switch Controller works with both the Nintendo Switch and the Switch Lite. It displays all three starters on the front. You can get this Blue one with the coloring for Sword, or there's also a Red one with the coloring for Shield. They both look super cool.

If you're getting a Nintendo Switch for the first time, you're definitely going to want a carrying case. Not only does this protect the system from bumps and drops, but it makes it easier to carry accessories and games. Plus, it comes with a cleaning cloth, silicon Joy-Con grips, and a USB-C power cable. That's a great starter kit.

I love the look of these wireless controllers. In addition to Scorbunny, there's also a Grookey-themed and a Sobble-themed controller, as well. These are exclusive to Target, so numbers are limited. These feel way better in your hands than Joy-Cons, and no cables are involved. It works with the Switch and the Switch Lite. Order one while they're still available.

This wonderful case not only keeps the Switch protected from damage but also shows off the Pokémon Sword and Shield starters. One side is red while the other is blue, reflecting the two versions. It has room to hold up to 10 Switch games and continues the red and blue theme inside.

This fun game card case takes on the shape of the Pokédex, as seen in the Pokémon animated series. It holds up to six games and is made of a light-yet-durable aluminum. The compact size makes it easy to port around and travel with.

This awesome book shows off all 400 Pokémon from the Sword and Shield games and talks about each one's strengths and weaknesses. It's sure to be helpful as you play through the latest games. This book releases on December 20, 2019, just in time for Christmas.

This awesome-looking official strategy guide not only helps guide you through the game but also features exclusive concept artwork. It also comes with a Pokémon Sword and Shield Joy-Con controller skin and tech decal pack so you can spice up your Switch in style. It releases December 3, 2019.

If the person you're buying for is more of a Gen 1 fan, they'll love this sweet controller that shows Mew and Pikachu fighting. I love the sweet turquoise and pink paint splatters. Additionally, the feel of this controller in your hands is way better than using a Joy-Con. It's compatible with both the Switch and the Switch Lite.

This small protective case features Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur in a turquoise checkerboard pattern. This is the smaller case only intended for the Switch Lite. It won't work with the larger Switch; it features a zipper storage area, a carrying handle, and can hold up to six Switch games. It also comes with a cleaning cloth and a screen protector.

If you anticipate needing to bring the larger Switch around with you and other accessories, this case will do the trick. It has room for a Pro Controller, nine game cartridges, the Switch charger, and, of course, your Switch console. I love that it has a hardshell and a carrying case to protect it and make it easier to transport.

This case attaches to the larger Switch to provide extra protection against drops and bumps. It also has an awesome metallic gold Pikachu print that goes over the Joy-Cons and backside of your Switch. The Joy-Cons can still be removed while the case is in place.
