Pokemon Go Plus Accessory Sells Out Within Hours on Niantic Store

Pokémon Go Plus Accessory Sells Out Within Hours on Niantic Store The popularity of Pokémon Go continues to fuel high demand for its dedicated hardware, as the Pokémon Go Plus accessory has once again sold out shortly after becoming available.

Developed by Nintendo in collaboration with Niantic, the Pokémon Go Plus is a wearable device that allows trainers to interact with Pokémon Go on their mobile devices without continuously checking their phones.

This functionality enables players to catch Pokémon and collect items from PokéStops with ease, making it a favored companion for mobile gaming enthusiasts. On December 21, 2016, Niantic, the developer behind the popular Pokémon Go mobile app, announced via its official Twitter account that a limited number of Pokémon Go Plus accessories had been made available for purchase through the official Niantic online store.

Within a mere few hours, the product reached 'Sold Out' status, according to the store's product page.

The rapid sellout highlights the sustained interest and widespread adoption of this accessory among Pokémon Go’s global player base. In the official announcement, Niantic stated: "The Pokémon GO Plus accessory is now available in limited quantities from the official Niantic online shop," underscoring the accessory’s scarcity and exclusive availability during this restock period. Since its launch, Pokémon Go has seen significant global engagement.

Earlier this week, Niantic reported that Pokémon Go trainers collectively have walked more than 8.7 billion kilometers, a testament to the game’s unprecedented reach and popularity across all regions.

The Pokémon Go Plus accessory, compatible with both iOS and Android devices, was created to enhance this experience by reducing the need for constant smartphone interaction and promoting active gameplay. The ongoing pattern of stock shortages suggests that demand for Pokémon Go Plus continues to outpace supply, despite multiple restocks since its initial release.

Fans are encouraged to regularly check the official Niantic Store and the Nintendo eShop for updates on future availability.

Both Niantic and Nintendo have acknowledged the challenges in meeting global demand and have expressed their commitment to replenishing stock as efficiently as possible. For dedicated Pokémon Go players and collectors, the Pokémon Go Plus accessory remains a coveted piece of gaming hardware.

As the community continues to expand and milestones such as billions of kilometers walked are achieved, it is evident that official accessories like the Pokémon Go Plus contribute meaningfully to the sustained success of Pokémon Go.
