Poké Ball Plus Charge Stand Officially Licensed by Nintendo & Pokémon [PokeBall Plus Not Included]

Looks good, officially licensed, good build quality, so I am happy. My only complaint, more of a nitpick, is that I wish it had just a little more weight, as it is light enough to move around when putting the pokeball on and off. Be aware: Not wireless. There is a small piece that plugs into the back of the pokeball, which allows for the charging to work when setting it down. There’s really no way around the dongle, as the pokeball itself doesn’t have wireless charging functionality to begin with. Not a complaint of mine, but I saw some reviews that seemed to have thought it was wireless. This is also why I say it’s more of a novelty, as removing and putting back the single isn’t as efficient as simply having a cable, and losing the piece is possible.

The Pokeball Plus was disappointingly small. The attachment of this stand allows for the Pokeball to sit nicely in my large hands. A little oddly shaped, I will admit, but since I haven't been using it as I did for Let's Go, the amazing part of this stand is how very thematic it looks displaying the Pokeball. HORI always does a great job designing their products despite them usually being made of thinner plastic. A little disappointment on my end would be the permanently attached cord. I would have liked a USB-C port and a separate USB charging cable to future proof the charging stand allow custom length cables. Otherwise, pretty cool little display stand.

A great piece of practical pokemon memorabilia. Super easy setup, works without a hitch. The USB portion you can plug into a laptop, charging station, or Nintendo switch. It's stylish and it feels so good to set the pokéball plus down into it with the adapter piece. The pokéball nestles in nicely and the pokécenter jingle just feels appropriate when resting it onto the mount.

Keeps the Poké Ball Plus in place while it charges, and looks good doing it. The wireless charging adapter that connects to the Poké Ball Plus itself accounts for the port "flap" in the Poké Ball Plus's design, integrating a place for the flap into its design. With the flap placed in the adapter, the ball fits snugly. The downside many users may see is that this adapter prevents the use of cases, and even if it didn't, the shape of the charging stand doesn't facilitate the extra circumference of a case. The USB cable is less than generous at 2ft in length, so you may have trouble if you don't already have surface space available near a USB outlet or the dock for your Nintendo Switch. All in all, a decent product, but not a homerun. If they were to release a newer model, I'd love a model with a longer cable, and that comes with a matching protective case for the ball (allowing you to keep the case attached while it charges, and the adapter attached while on-the-go).

There's nothing technically wrong with the "Poké Ball Plus Charge Stand," except that the stand cannot charge the Poké Ball Plus without an adapter, included. On the inside of the stand, you can see the original plans for the Poké Ball Plus were likely given to the engineers when there were exposed 2 points of power on the bottom. That's clearly changed. Unfortunately, the Poké Ball Plus uses a USB C connector. The Poké Ball Plus Charge Stand is a very handsome stand-piece, but is not easy, quick, nor efficient at charging the ball, and the adapter is unwieldy, and feels like it could cause damage to the USB C charge cover as you place it on the Poké Ball Plus. This makes the Stand little more than a talking piece, and is completely useless for what it was designed.

You don't need this but for a Pokemon Super Fan it is a nice thing to have. It works perfectly so I have no complaints there. Its very nice for displaying your Pokeball. I recommend hooking it up to the Nintendo switch to charge it. You can also hook it up to a wall USB adapter.

Pretty cool little charger. After a long day hunting Pokémon it’s nice to relax and recharge 😀. Cool little stand. Easy setup. Just add the attachment and the ball is ready to recharge when placed on the charger. It would be cool if the charger lit up once fully charged.

I remember waiting for this when it first came out, but it was literally never in stock. Several months later I finally got one, I was hesitant due to so many bad reviews but learned that all the reviews are from ignorant people who didn't fully read the instructions. If yours doesn't work, and you followed the instructions to an absolute T (Check youtube tutorials, really.) then I'm sorry yours had some issues - mine works great and it looks OK - I wish it came in black so it could match the switch dock/nintendo switch itself though - it feels like it stands out in a weird way with it being white - I also wish that this had some sort of light that would change colors when it's done charging, it's already hard enough to tell when these pokeballs are done charging (You just never know) and I've seen a lot of these chargers that have lights on them, but I really wanted this one in the end, still wish it included that feature though. The only complaint I have is, even though the pokeball fits nice and easily into the charging stand - if I accidentally hit the stand or move it a little, the pokeball comes loose and stops charging. Thats a bit frustrating, but I just keep it in an area where I won't hit it now. I can feel there is a sort of "magnet" in it that helps lock it in place, but it doesn't seem strong enough however I'm not sure if a stronger one would cause damage in the end anyways! Really great product, I do recommend it.
