How can I play through Pokemon Sword/Shield with just ONE Controller?

Sep. 15, 2020

Recently, my switch’s right (red) controller began malfunctioning. Due to the current conditions, I can’t send it to Nintendo due to the fact that their factories/centres aren’t open. However, I want to know if I can still play through the game. Luckily, I had casual controls off for my main account. However, if I wanted extra Kubfus or Zacians, it would require me to create a new account and playing through the game again. When I try on my alts, I can enter the game by pressing ZL. However, in the game, is there any way I can access system settings without pressing ‘x’?

If there is no possible way, don’t stress - I’ll just bear the truth.

I don’t think so-I’ve tried that because my right controller ran out of battery snd I could not access the system settings, Y-comn or select moves in battle.

You will need to remap the buttons on your left controller which is in the settings.
