Mm, many places are reporting the same, the latest update on Nintendo Everything says this:

Update: Final nail in the coffin regarding online play – there is none. There is wireless and play on the same screen, but no online.

Nintendo Everything's info there must be wrong or outdated.

Masuda himself said there would be online battling and trading:

From Gamespot;

Update: Looks like Nintendo Everything are correcting themselves confirming there will be online.

Lastly, we have one more report on online usage. There unfortunately was a high degree of confusion here to due conflicted reports coming out of last night’s event in Tokyo, particular from the Q&A session. But after speaking with Masuda, IGN reports that battling and trading online are both available online and locally. Online ranked battles will not be available, however. There are also no plans to use Nintendo Switch Online. GameSpot is reporting similar information, so we’re hoping that this has been settled once and for all.
