Whether you're a parent looking to buy their kids a Nintendo Switch this holiday season, looking to treat a loved one or yourself, there are some great Pokémon bundles available right now. We're collating all the best Nintendo Switch Pokémon bundles to save you time and money! We will be mostly focusing of course on consoles bundled with the latest Pokémon releases including Pokémon Scarlet, Pokémon Violet and Pokémon Legends Arceus.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are mainline entries to the franchise which have taken some heavy inspiration from the open-world we saw in Pokémon Legends Arceus earlier this year. As to expected with any new mainline Pokémon game there is tonnes of fantastic designed Pokémon to add to your team and battle through the game with as well as plenty of new features and mechanics as you explore the new Paldea region whilst riding each game's respective Legendary Pokémon.
For those unfamiliar with the Nintendo Switch, it's a gaming console that has 3 different models, the Nintendo Switch Standard, Nintendo Switch OLED and Nintendo Switch Lite.
The Nintendo Switch standard and OLED consoles can be used either as a handheld device or plugged into a TV. These models come with two controllers (Joy-Cons) that can be attached to the sides of the Switch when it is being used as a handheld. It's a great system for both solo and multiplayer with the family or with others around the world via Nintendo Switch online. Whilst the Nintendo Switch Lite is exclusively a handheld console and cannot be docked, it is ideal for children or those who are always gaming on the go.

Nintendo Switch OLED Pokémon bundles
The Nintendo Switch OLED is the latest model of the Nintendo Switch released in October of 2021. It features an upgraded display that produces brighter colours and deeper blacks as with an OLED display individual pixels can be turned off in order to produce true blacks. It also comes with two Joy-Con controllers, a dock, and all the accessories you need to get started. The Nintendo Switch OLED is the perfect console to get along a Pokémon game due to its wide range of features and versatility, if money is no option then this is the console to go for. It is especially well suited for gamers who like to play both docked and in handheld mode, as the upgraded OLED display really enhances the handheld experience when compared to the standard and lite models.
You can pick up both the Nintendo Switch OLED Neon Red/Blue and White versions of the console alongside the best Pokémon titles at a discount. The RRP of the Nintendo Switch OLED is £309.99 and Pokémon Scarlet/Violet RRP is £39.99, keep this in mind when looking at the prices of the bundles below. Sadly the special edition Pokémon Scarlet and Violet OLED Nintendo Switch is now out of stock everywhere.
Below are some of the best Pokémon bundles available for the Nintendo Switch OLED.
Nintendo Switch Standard Pokémon Bundles
The Standard Nintendo Switch Console whilst lacking the great new screen featured on the OLED model is still a fantastic console. If you're someone who wants to primarily play the console docked there is honestly very little advantage in picking up the OLED model over the standard. The standard console also comes at a lower RRP of £259.99 which is £60 less than the OLED model which is definitely worth taking into consideration. This £60 saving could easily be invested into a couple of Pokémon games or elsewhere on the Nintendo Switch's fantastic library (don't forget those indie games).
The standard Nintendo Switch comes in two colour variations, Neon Red & Blue and Grey, these dictate the colours of the Joy-Con controllers as the docks themselves are black in both cases. The last Pokémon Nintendo Switch Standard special editions came with the release of Pokémon Let's Go Eevee and Let's Go Pikachu however those are effectively dead stock at this point.

Nintendo Switch Lite Pokémon Bundles
The Nintendo Switch Lite is the third model of the popular Nintendo Switch gaming console. It is a handheld device exclusively, meant for gamers who are always on-the-go and don’t need the ability to dock their console with a TV. Pokémons long rich history in games obviously started on the handheld platform and the Nintendo Switch Lite is the perfect device to experience all of them if this is your preferred method of playing and you're looking to save yourself some money.
The Nintendo Switch Lite currently comes in five colours, Yellow, Turquoise, Grey, Coral and Blue offering significantly more choice than its dockable alternatives. The Nintendo Switch Lites RRP is £199.99 meaning you save £60 from the Standard Nintendo Switch and a staggering £110 compared to the Nintendo Switch Oled. However, these savings are to be expected when you consider this console does not come with the dock and Joy-Cons like the other two models. It has a 5.5 inch 720p screen with more than enough power under the hood to play any of your Pokémon games as well as other Nintendo games.
The Pokémon Switch Lite has had two special edition consoles in the past, the Zacian Zamazenta Edition from when Pokémon Sword and Shield as well as a Dialga and Palkia edition for the release of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Sadly due to their age, both of these are no longer available.
