Stamps from the Y-Comm

The Y-Comm (Japanese: YY通信 YY Communication) is a feature introduced in Generation VIII which is used for trading Pokémon and Link Battles over local wireless or on the internet through Nintendo Switch Online. It is the successor to the C-Gear, Player Search System, and Festival Plaza interfaces from previous games.

In the overworld, stamps will appear on the left side of the screen with the names of players making a request. Upon opening the menu with the Y Button, the player can view a list of requests, including requests to join a Max Raid Battle.
