New Pokemon-Themed Nintendo Switch Lite Is Available Now

The limited-edition Dialga and Palkia Nintendo Switch Lite console is available now. Announced a few months ago, the specially themed Switch Lite never went up for preorder, so now's your chance to pick it up at launch. The console celebrates the upcoming remakes of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, which launch for Switch on November 19. The special-edition console has been going in and out of stock at retailers since last night when it went live, so you may want to hurry if you're interested in grabbing one ahead of the holidays.

$200

The console is currently available for in-store pickup at Best Buy. Walmart and Target had consoles available at midnight but quickly sold out. It seems like GameStop hasn't made the console available just yet, so you'll probably want to monitor GameStop's listing throughout the day.

The Nintendo Switch Lite Dialga and Palkia Edition doesn't come with either of the upcoming games, but it's also being sold at the standard Nintendo Switch Lite list price of $200. If the new console looks familiar, that's because it uses the design of the special-edition Nintendo DS Lite that was released alongside Diamond and Pearl. The console is gray and black with images of Dialga and Palkia, the two cover Pokemon, on the back.

This is the second Pokemon-themed Switch Lite. In 2019, Nintendo released a Zacian and Zamazenta Edition alongside Sword and Shield. While that console was available to purchase post-launch (at times), we haven't seen it for list price in quite a while. If you want the Dialga and Palkia Edition, which was announced during the Pokemon Presents, it would be smart to get it as soon as possible.
