The Pokémon Go Plus connects to your phone via Bluetooth and gives you alerts on various game events and more. Nintendo has been working on this game with Niantic, the makers of Android game Ingress , and has confirmed that the game is not fully ready yet and some of the features will be missing when the game is made available for download. For instance trading of Pokémon with your friends will not be available, but the feature will arrive at a later period.
