The Link Play screen

Link Play is a feature introduced in Pokémon Legends: Z-A which is used for trading Pokémon and Link Battles over local wireless or the internet through Nintendo Switch Online. It is the successor to the C-Gear, Player Search System, Festival Plaza, Y-Comm, and Poké Portal interfaces from previous games. It is enabled once the player has reached research level 2. It cannot be used when spotted by an attacking wild Pokémon, during a battle, or while in Hyperspace Lumiose.
