Pokémon HOME is managed by Pokémon researcher [[Grand Oak]], whose goal is to create a [[Pokédex]] that includes every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}.
===Pokémon transfer===
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way [[transfer]] to and from all Switch [[core series]] games. Both the mobile and Switch versions allow one-way transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] (only with a Premium Plan) and [[Pokémon GO]].
 
====Compatibility with Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
Only Pokémon originally from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can be moved into Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and if such a Pokémon is transferred into a future game, it can no longer be moved back to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.
 
Pokémon that arrive in HOME via transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] are automatically converted to the same format used by {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and therefore cannot enter Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.
 
====Compatibility with Generation VIII====
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way transfer to and from all [[Generation VIII]] games, beginning with {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] that are compatible with Sword and Shield can be transferred to and from Sword and Shield freely and retain their movesets.
 
In version 2.0.0, HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. The set of data used for a Pokémon differs between Sword and Shield, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus, so a Pokémon's moves will be different for each game. If a Pokémon is transferred from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus to Sword and Shield, its [[origin mark]] will be replaced with the Galar symbol and its met location will be shown as "the [[Faraway place]]", though its actual origin mark will be restored if it is moved back into HOME. Additionally, because Legends: Arceus uses different [[Poké Ball]]s to the other games, Pokémon originally from Legends: Arceus will appear in a [[Strange Ball]] in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}} or a standard {{i|Poké Ball}} in Sword and Shield, while Pokémon not originally from Legends: Arceus will appear in a Strange Ball in Legends: Arceus (though the original Poké Ball of the Pokémon will be regained if it is moved back into HOME).
 
====Compatibility with Generation IX====
Pokémon HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokemon Scarlet and Violet]] on May 30, 2023 as part of version 3.0.0, allowing Pokémon to be moved freely between all core series Generation VIII and IX games.
 
On May 18, 2023, [[The Pokémon Company International]] announced that Pokémon HOME support with the games would release on May 24, 2023 at 01:00 UTC, but on May 19, the company announced it was a mistake and said that the actual release date was yet to be announced. No such announcement was made in Japanese by [[The Pokémon Company]], and unlike the later date, the earlier date did not appear in a notice inside the HOME app itself.
 
In an apparent translation error, the Spanish version of the notice stated that staggered logins would take place from May 30, 2023 06:00 UTC to May 25, 2023 06:00 UTC, instead of the latter date being May 31, 2023 06:00 UTC.<ref>https://twitter.com/MelkorPxP/status/1661886523539697664</ref>
 
====Compatibility with Pokémon GO====
{{main|GO Transporter}}
One-way transfers from [[Pokémon GO]] to HOME were made available on November 11, 2020.<ref group="note" name="releasego">Due to time zone differences, GO Transporter was released on November 10, 2020 in the Americas.</ref> Upon the first transfer, the player will also receive a {{p|Melmetal}} that can [[Gigantamax]] in Pokémon HOME.
 
Transfers from Pokémon GO are subject to their own different set of limitations, modifications, and microtransactions.
 
====Limitations====
* The Totem-sized Pokémon that can be in [[Pokémon Bank]] are reduced to their normal sizes when transferred to Pokémon HOME.
* Pokémon that cannot be [[trade]]d in-game also cannot be deposited, including the {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}}, and the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{p|Calyrex}}.
* Like in Pokémon Bank, [[held item]]s cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME; depositing a Pokémon holding an item into HOME causes that item to be returned to the [[Bag]] in the game the Pokémon was deposited from.
* From v2.0.0 onward:
** [[Gigantamax]] Factor {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and (from v3.2.1 onward) {{p|Duraludon}} cannot be transferred to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, or {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. This is to prevent them from [[evolution|evolving]] in games that do not recognize the Gigantamax Factor.
** {{p|Nincada}} [[Game of origin|originally from]] Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into any other game, and Nincada from outside of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into those games.
*** This is likely a redundant protection against several cloning glitches due to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's "PokeDupeChecker" having cases to exclude natural clones such as Ninjask/Shedinja, and Pokémon originating from other games from being flagged and subsequently restricted from trades, HOME, and the [[Pokémon Nursery]].<ref>https://twitter.com/Kaphotics/status/1495965127031816192</ref>
** {{p|Spinda}} cannot be transferred between Pokémon HOME and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. This is likely due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitches|glitch]] in the latter wherein the bytes of Spinda's [[encryption constant]] are read as a {{wp|Endianness|big-endian}} value rather than a little-endian value, which would cause Spinda's spot pattern to change on transfer if transfers were possible.
** In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, [[Legendary]] and [[Mythical]] Pokémon that can only be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]] once per savefile (such as {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}) can only be (newly) deposited once per savefile. This acts as a preventative measure to mitigate the effects of various duplication glitches, such as the Dialga/Palkia rematch glitch.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuVzL1Wf6-I</ref>
*** This check is determined per savefile rather than by [[Original Trainer]]. This makes it possible to run into this restriction even with official event Pokémon or Pokémon traded from other save files of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl unless the player can trade one of the Pokémon to another game without going through HOME. This cannot be circumvented with multiple HOME accounts, as it will recognize the savefile regardless.
* If a Pokémon from {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|s}} is Hyper Trained in {{g|Scarlet and Violet|s}}, it can't be sent back unless it reaches level 100.


===Pokémon storage===
===Pokémon storage===
Pokémon HOME allows two-way [[transfer]] to and from the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]<ref group="note" name="lgpe-twoway">Pokémon deposited from Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! can only be withdrawn if they have not been transferred to a Generation VIII game.</ref> and [[Generation VIII]] games using the Nintendo Switch version. It also allows one-way transfer of Pokémon from the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[core series]] games through [[Pokémon Bank]] using either version with a Premium Plan. (Pokémon whose game of origin is Generation VI or VII will have their met location changed to "the [[Kalos]] region", "the [[Hoenn]] region", or "the [[Alola]] region" upon arriving in HOME. Pokémon whose game of origin is Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee! will have their met location changed to "the [[Kanto]] region" upon being transferred to a future game.) Support for [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] is also planned.
On the free Basic Plan, up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited in one box named the "Basic Box". The Basic Box cannot be manually organized and will always sort Pokémon from most to least recently deposited/traded for (with most recent at the top left). Ties are broken by Pokédex order.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/orange-islands-sqsa-thread.3603112/page-63#post-9241707</ref>


On the free plan, up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited in one box named the "Basic Box", which always sorts Pokémon in order from most recently deposited. This increases to 6,000 Pokémon with a Premium Plan and 200 boxes named "HOME 1" through "HOME 200", which can be freely organized as with core series PC boxes. When a free plan is upgraded for the first time, all Pokémon in the Basic Box appear in HOME 1; however, the reverse is not true. When a Premium Plan is downgraded to the free plan, only the 30 Pokémon deposited earliest will appear in the Basic Box, regardless of which of the HOME 1-200 boxes they were originally in, and any other Pokémon will be inaccessible.
On the Premium Plan, up to 6,000 Pokémon can be deposited in 200 boxes named "HOME 1" through "HOME 200", which can be freely organized as with core series PC boxes. When a Basic Plan is upgraded, all Pokémon in the Basic Box appear in HOME 1; however, the reverse is not true. When a Premium Plan ends, only the 30 Pokémon most recently deposited/traded for will appear in the Basic Box, regardless of which of the HOME 1-200 boxes they were originally in, and any other Pokémon will be inaccessible.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039615831-If-I-deposit-31-or-more-Pok%C3%A9mon-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-and-my-Premium-Plan-expires-what-will-happen-to-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref>


The [[Judge]] function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME has access to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] within every save file from all accounts on the Switch. This means that as long as a save file exists, Pokémon HOME has access to all of the player's Pokémon (except those in the [[party]]), and can use the boxes for local storage, with no need to keep the cartridges or digital installations.


Pokémon HOME also has the option to release multiple Pokémon at once; however, players cannot release more than 100 Pokémon per synchronization and must save before they can release more Pokémon.

====Compatibility with Generation VIII games====
The [[stats judge]] function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.


As of the 2.0.0 update, Pokémon can be transferred between all Generation VIII games via Pokémon HOME, as long as the Pokémon is present in the coding of the target game. Upon being transferred into a game for the first time which is not that Pokémon's game of origin, Pokémon HOME will replace that Pokémon's moveset with one appropriate for a Pokémon of the same level in the target game (i.e. the four most recent level up moves for that Pokémon in that game). Pokémon HOME can store up to 3 movesets for any given Pokémon, one for each of the Generation VIII games. Any changes to a Pokémon's moveset that a player makes in a specific Generation VIII game will be remembered when returned to that Generation VIII game even if transferred in and out of a different Generation VIII game via HOME. This is irrespective of the save file or HOME account in use. The original movesets of Pokémon that originated from outside of Generation VIII (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Pokémon Bank or Pokémon GO) will be the starting moveset for Pokémon Sword and Shield and so will not be reset when transferred to these games. Any [[PP Up|PP Ups]]/[[PP Max|PP Maxes]] used will only be active in the moveset of the game in which it was applied.  
Pokémon do not display specific met locations while in the Nintendo Switch version of HOME, instead only displaying the region corresponding to their [[game of origin]]. As of v2.0.0, the mobile version will display both a region and a location name within that region, but for Pokémon transferred from the Virtual Console games through Poké Transporter, the latter will simply be a second copy of the region name, and for Pokémon transferred from [[Generation III]] or {{gen|IV}}, the latter location will be displayed as "Poké Shifter" (the transliterated Japanese name for [[Poké Transfer]]).


Pokémon transferred "across time" (i.e. between {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} and another Generation VIII game) will be placed in a [[Strange Ball]] ({{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]) or a standard [[Poké Ball]] ([[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]). Their original Poké Ball will be displayed in Pokémon HOME and their original game.
====Game-specific data and HOME tracker value====
{{Incomplete|section|Check whether contest conditions, sheen, Ribbons, and marks are included in game-specific data or not}}
Depositing any Pokémon into HOME for the first time will assign it a HOME tracker value, a 64-bit number unique to it that is used to detect [[Pokémon cloning|clones]] and other [[Cheating|hacked]] Pokémon. For example, a Pokémon hacked to have a random tracker value can be detected as HOME will not remember having assigned this value in the past. The tracker value is also used for the restriction on newly depositing certain {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon from [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]; a Pokémon is being newly deposited if it does not have a HOME tracker value already. This tracker value is stored with the Pokémon and cannot be changed.


Pokémon transferred to Pokémon Sword or Shield from another Generation VIII game will display the [[Origin_mark#Galar_symbol|Galar origin mark]]. The original origin marking is displayed in HOME and other Generation VIII games.
From v2.0.0 onwards, the tracker value is also used to keep track of a Pokémon's game-specific data. Each Pokémon has up to four sets of data depending on which games it has been in: {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. Pokémon from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon GO]], and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] use the same set of data as Sword and Shield as a default. Most Pokémon obtained from gifts within Pokémon HOME itself also default to Sword and Shield, though some default to other games. Data that is not transferred between games is stored in the server, such as:
* A Pokémon's [[move]]sets (including changes to [[PP]] from [[PP Up]]s and [[PP Max]]es), as well as, from v3.0.0 onwards, its {{Abilities}}.
* Met location (and, if applicable, {{pkmn|Egg}} hatch location), included only in the Pokémon's original data set.
* [[Gigantamax]] Factor, [[TR]] flags, and {{DL|Pokémon Camp|sociability}}, included only in the Pokémon's Sword and Shield data set.
* [[Effort level]]s, {{pkmn2|alpha}} status, [[Zisu]]'s [[Training grounds#Move Tutor|Move Tutor]] moves, and [[move mastery]] status, included only in the Pokémon's Legends: Arceus data set.
* [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera Type]], included only in the Pokémon's Scarlet and Violet data set.
For example, the alpha Pokémon flag is not stored in the Pokémon data of games other than Pokémon Legends: Arceus. If a Pokémon from Legends: Arceus is transferred to another game and back, it keeps its alpha flag due to HOME associating the flag with that Pokémon's HOME tracker value, with the flag being retained in its Legends: Arceus set of data.


Pokémon HOME remembers the game specific information via the HOME Tracker ID, which is assigned when a Pokémon enters HOME.
Pokémon transferred from Bank, GO, or Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, as well as most Pokémon from gifts in HOME, retain their original moves (or, in the case of Pokémon from GO, their moves as determined by [[GO Transporter]]) when transferred to Pokémon Sword and Shield; this is treated as the Sword and Shield moveset for that Pokémon. When a Pokémon is transferred to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Legends: Arceus, or Scarlet and Violet for the first time, or when a Pokémon from any of those games (or a gift in HOME corresponding to any of those games) is transferred to Sword and Shield for the first time, a new moveset is generated for that game's data set, using the four most recent level-up moves of that species in that game. A Pokémon's potential new moveset can be seen while transferring it, but it is not saved until the transfer is complete.
 
From v3.0.0 onwards, Abilities are stored in game-specific data. A Pokémon's Legends: Arceus data set does not display an Ability, though it has one that is stored internally, while Pokémon from Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! do not have an Ability until being transferred into another game. From v3.0.0 to v3.1.0, due to a bug, any changes to a Pokémon's Ability using an [[Ability Capsule]] or [[Ability Patch]] in one game would not affect its Ability in other games it already had data for; starting in v3.1.0, any Pokémon affected by this bug that is deposited into HOME is fixed by having the Ability from its most recent game assigned to all of its applicable sets of data.
 
The set of data displayed when a Pokémon's [[summary]] is viewed in HOME varies. In the Nintendo Switch version prior to v3.0.0, only the Sword and Shield set of data would be displayed for all Pokémon, unless the application was currently connected to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus, in which case the data sets would match this; Pokémon not compatible with any [[Generation VIII]] game would display no [[stat]]s or [[move]]s from v2.0.0 to v3.0.0. Starting in v3.0.0, if Pokémon HOME is currently connected to a game, Pokémon compatible with that game will display the corresponding data set, while others will display the set of the game that they were in most recently; if HOME is not currently connected to a game, the default data set for all Pokémon will be that of the game they were in most recently, but if a Pokémon has multiple sets, they can be switched between using the "Change View" option. The type of [[Poké Ball]] shown will change depending on which set of data is being displayed, though the [[origin mark]] will always be correct. In the mobile version prior to v3.0.0, the set of data displayed for a Pokémon would be that of the game it was in most recently; starting in v3.0.0, the default data set shown matches its most recent game, but other data sets can also be viewed. Both the type of Poké Ball shown and the origin mark will always be correct, as well as the met location.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372709736596-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-Sheen-or-condition-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372695365652-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-effort-levels-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526950194373226497</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6425814626580-Why-can-t-I-see-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-s-moves-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526917289500585984</ref>

===National Pokédex===
===Pokédex===
Pokémon HOME features a [[National Pokédex]] that records information on Pokémon that have been deposited in the Boxes in Pokémon HOME. Users can view basic information and Pokédex entries from the [[Generation VI]], {{gen|VII}}, and {{gen|VIII}} core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Entries from {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} can only be viewed when HOME is connected to a Legends: Arceus save file that has the entry for that Pokémon completed to research level 10, if that Pokémon has been registered in HOME's Pokédex. However the HOME Pokédex will register a Pokémon uploaded from Legends: Arceus as caught and unlock any other game's Pokédex entries, if any, even if the research level in Legends: Arceus is not at level 10. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate [[form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered.
{{main|Pokédex (HOME)}}
Pokémon HOME features a [[National Pokédex]] that records information on Pokémon that have been deposited in the Boxes in Pokémon HOME. The mobile version of Pokémon HOME has a section of the Pokédex where [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} are listed and can be registered.


The mobile app version of Pokémon HOME also allows players to view the possible [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} a Pokémon can have.
Starting in the v2.0.0 update, the mobile version of Pokémon HOME also features regional Pokédexes for each of the Nintendo Switch core series games and [[Pokémon GO]], which can only be filled with Pokémon [[Game of origin|originating]] from the game in question.


Upon completing the National Pokédex up to {{p|Eternatus}}, an Original Color {{p|Magearna}} can be received. There were inconsistent problems with receiving this for the first month of availability, with some users not receiving a gift and others getting glitched versions, even upon completing a [[Living Pokédex]]. These were later fixed.

====Registering Pokémon and alternate forms====

If the Pokémon has a [[Mega Evolution]], a form that can only be used in battle (e.g. [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Cherrim|Cherrim's Sunshine Form]]), or a form that requires a held item (e.g. [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Creation_trio|Silvally's alternate forms]]), the data for these forms is registered when any form of the Pokémon is deposited (this also applies to [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Creation_trio|Dialga, Palkia, Giratina]], and [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Arceus|Arceus]] despite these Pokémon not requiring a held item or battle to change forms in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], as they revert to their standard forms upon being deposited into HOME).

If a Pokémon has a form that requires combining two Pokémon (i.e. [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Kyurem|Kyurem]], [[List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_with_form_differences#Necrozma|Necrozma]] or [[List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_with_form_differences#Calryex|Calryex]]), the entry for that form is registered when both Pokémon that make up that form are registered. Registering Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma will also register Ultra Necrozma.

If a Pokémon with a gender difference is deposited, both genders are registered except in the case of [[Shiny Pokémon]] (see below).
 
Registering a Pokémon's [[Gigantamax]] form requires depositing the Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor.
 
Depositing a [[Shiny Pokémon]] will register both the Shiny and regular entries for that species and form. Unlike non-Shiny Pokémon on the mobile version, depositing a Shiny Pokémon with a gender difference will only register the Shiny entry for that gender.
 
Depositing any [[Foreign Pokédex entries|foreign language]] version of a Pokémon will unlock that language's Pokédex entry for all forms of that species that have been registered.
 
Additionally, when any Pokémon are transferred from Bank to HOME, all Pokédex data in Bank will be added to the Pokédex in HOME.

When first starting Pokémon HOME mobile, [[Grand Oak]] will give the user the choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}.

When first starting Pokémon HOME, the player will already have a {{p|Pikachu}} in their storage. When first starting the mobile version in particular (regardless of whether the Nintendo Switch version has been used yet), [[Grand Oak]] will give the player a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, each of which have their [[Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities]]. Various other Pokémon may also be received from the Gift Box in the mobile version for completing certain tasks. Pokémon obtained from gifts in HOME use "Pokémon HOME" as their met location rather than any specific [[region]]; despite this, the majority of them use [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]] as their [[game of origin]], with some using other Nintendo Switch core series games.

===Transfer from Pokémon GO===
===Points===
{{main|GO Transporter}}
Pokémon HOME Points serve as a currency of sorts, replacing [[Poké Mile]]s from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Every midnight UTC, the player gains a Pokémon HOME Point for every 31 stored Pokémon (rounded down). This calculation includes any inaccessible Pokémon the player may have in HOME as a result of a downgrade to the free plan. An account can accumulate a maximum of 99,999 Points at once.


One-way transfers from [[Pokémon GO]] to HOME were made available on November 11, 2020 (November 10 in North America), using the GO Transporter feature from the settings menu. Each Pokémon, depending on various attributes, requires an amount of GO Transport Energy to transfer to Pokémon HOME, which can be regained by using [[PokéCoin]]s or simply waiting.
Pokémon HOME Points can then be converted and transferred into [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]] games in the Nintendo Switch version:

* 20 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 Battle Point in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].

{{pkmn2|Legendary}} and {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon that were transferred from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME can only be transferred to a Generation VIII core series game if that Pokémon has already been registered in the Pokédex or obtained at least once in that game. However, this restriction only applies to Legendary or Mythical Pokémon stored in the HOME account they were originally transferred to, meaning that if they are traded to a different HOME account then they will be transferrable into a Generation VIII core series game without needing to have been previously obtained. This restriction does not apply to {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}.
===Move Reminder===
The 3.0.0 update added [[Move Reminder]] functionality in the Nintendo Switch version. The moves that can be learned through this feature are the standard [[level]] up moves for the game in use, as well as any moves in other game movesets (including both current moves and moves flagged as re-learnable) that are legal for the game in use. For example, a {{p|Tauros}} that knows {{m|Take Down}} in its [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] moveset can be taught Take Down in its [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] moveset using this feature, as Tauros can be taught Take Down in Scarlet and Violet via [[TM]]. However, a {{p|Moltres}} with {{m|Burn Up}} in its Pokémon Sword and Shield moveset cannot be taught Burn Up in its Pokémon Scarlet and Violet moveset, as Moltres cannot learn Burn Up in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet by any means.


Upon the first transfer, the player will also receive a {{p|Melmetal}} that can [[Gigantamax]] in Pokémon HOME.
This feature is the only way to access several otherwise [[Egg Move#Unobtainable Egg Moves|unobtainable Egg Moves]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Pokémon HOME Points replace [[Poké Mile]]s as a currency. Every midnight UTC, the player gains a point for every 31 stored Pokémon (rounded down). This calculation includes the inaccessible Pokémon if the player downgraded to the free plan. 1 [[Battle Point]] is equivalent to 30 points (20 points for [[Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]), which can be transferred in the Nintendo Switch version. 1 [[Merit Point]] in [[Legends: Arceus]] is equal to one point in Home.
==Bugs and errors==
*In the [[Gdex|Galar Pokédex]] in the mobile version, {{p|Hippopotas}} is incorrectly displayed as its [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] form instead of its non-Shiny appearance.
*In the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] in the mobile version, since the ability to request and search for Pokémon with specific forms and [[Language of origin|languages of origin]] was added, selecting to exclude requests for Pokémon the user does not have does not exclude requests for forms or languages that the user does not have as long as they have at least one of the Pokémon in any form or language.
*Due to a bug with how HOME handles punctuation, {{P|Farfetch'd}} and {{P|Sirfetch'd}} without [[nickname]]s transferred from Pokémon Bank or Pokémon GO will act as though they have nicknames, and cannot be re-nicknamed after being moved into a game. This is due to HOME assigning the incorrect apostrophe, the species name being "Farfetch’d" or "Sirfetch’d" and the nickname being assigned as "Farfetch'd" or "Sirfetch'd" instead.
*If a Sandy Cloak or Trash Cloak {{p|Burmy}} in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] or [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Mothim}} and is then deposited into HOME, it will not count towards the Sinnoh or Hisui regional Pokédexes (but will still count towards the National Pokédex).<ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1527278158872924160</ref>
*In the mobile version's [[National Pokédex]], the total number of Pokémon shown at the top of the page always includes all [[form]]s, even if the user has not selected to show all forms.
*In the Nintendo Switch version, when browsing the Boxes while not connected to a game, Pokémon [[transfer]]red from Pokémon GO to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and deposited in HOME display the [[Strange Ball]] unless they were transferred into and out of another Switch game.


==Premium Plan==
===Fixed===
*For approximately the first eight hours of release (February 12, 2020 between 01:00 UTC and 09:00 UTC), any [[Hyper Training]] performed in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon]] was lost upon transferring from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Details on how to restore it were announced in the app and on the official support websites.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-support.com/news/s/article/000002142 ''<nowiki>【Pokémon HOME】既知の不具合について - ポケットモンスター ([Pokémon HOME] Known bugs)</nowiki>'' - pokemon-support.com] (Japanese) (accessed 14 February 2020)</ref><ref>[https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/news/972 ''현재「Pokémon HOME」에서 확인된 이상 현상에 대하여 - 포켓몬 공식 사이트 (About the anomalies currently identified in "Pokémon HOME")'' - pokemonkorea.co.kr] (Korean) (accessed 14 February 2020)</ref>
**Pokémon HOME went down for maintenance on February 25, 2020 between 01:30 and 11:30 UTC, during which any affected Pokémon stored in HOME at the time regained their Hyper Training.
*Initially, HOME would automatically delete any Pokémon with duplicate tracker values on the assumption that they were [[Cheating|hacked]] [[Pokémon cloning|clones]]; however, this behavior would cause one of a {{p|Ninjask}} and {{p|Shedinja}} pair to be deleted as the HOME tracker value was among the data copied to Shedinja.
**This was partially fixed sometime between February 25, 2020 and February 28, 2020 when HOME would instead disallow a Pokémon with a duplicate tracker value from being deposited.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1232391734279254018</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1233603766798209025</ref> It was fully fixed sometime around April 23, 2020, and depositing a Ninjask and Shedinja with duplicate tracker values will now cause HOME to reassign the Shedinja a new tracker value.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1253373524225470469</ref> The Shedinja will have its tracker reassigned the first time it is deposited into HOME, regardless of what its [[game of origin]] is, whether it previously had a HOME tracker value from visiting HOME as a Nincada, or whether it is deposited into HOME at the same time as the matching Ninjask.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-brilliant-diamond-and-shining-pearl-release-19th-nov-2021.3679043/post-9269516</ref>
*In the Nintendo Switch versions before v2.0.0, all {{p|Arceus}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|forms]] were considered {{type|Normal}} instead of their actual [[type]]s except for the {{type|Dragon}} and {{type|Fairy}} forms.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, when using the "All Forms" filter in the Pokédex, [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist|Average Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist]] did not appear with their three other forms and were not counted in the total number of forms displayed at the top of the page. Additionally, the Super Size forms replaced the Average Size forms as the default forms shown in the [[National Pokédex]], though viewing either Pokémon's Pokédex entry still displayed all four sizes. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, the user's boxes from the Nintendo Switch version would not be displayed on the label selection screen when selecting Pokémon for a trade. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version, after using the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or Wonder Box, the entries in the [[regional Pokédex]]es would be reset and would only have entries registered for Pokémon currently in HOME, lacking any entries registered for Pokémon that were not in HOME at the time the bug occurred. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 between May 18, 2022 06:00 UTC and May 27, 2022 01:00 UTC, some players would receive error code 10015 an unknown percentage of the time after depositing Pokémon and attempting to save changes, preventing Pokémon from being deposited. This was fixed in v2.0.1, and affected players who were on the Premium Plan at the time received 10 free days (including those whose subscriptions ended between receiving the error and the release of v2.0.1).<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6560421494932-Update-Info-for-the-Nintendo-Switch-Version-ver-2-0-1-</ref>
*In the mobile version only, [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black Kyurem]]'s Pokédex entries for [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] were the same as those of regular {{p|Kyurem}}, even though Black Kyurem has its own entries in the Switch version. This was fixed in v2.0.2.
*Starting in v2.0.0 in the Switch version only, Pokémon that were [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon GO]], or [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] but had not been moved to a compatible game in [[Generation VIII]] (or were not compatible with any games in that [[generation]]) would not have their [[base stats]], [[effort values]], [[individual values]], or [[move]]s shown, even if the player chose not to connect any game with HOME. This was fixed in v3.0.0.
*In the mobile version in v3.0.0, all Spinda would always display the same spot pattern when viewed in their [[summary]], regardless of their actual patterns. This was fixed in v3.0.1.
*In the mobile version, although {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} are counted as "special Pokémon" for the purpose of the GTS's filters, they were initially included in the list of the most popular Pokémon requests that excludes special Pokémon. This was later corrected, with Koraidon and Miraidon now being consistently considered special Pokémon. The same issue later arose with {{p|Terapagos}}.
*Between May 30, 2023 06:00 UTC and July 4, 2023 00:00 UTC, the [[alpha Pokémon]] caught as part of [[Task#Missions|Missions]] 14 through 16 in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] would fail to have their [[Size and weight variation|scale]] value set to the maximum when transferred to [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], making them ineligible for the Jumbo [[Mark]]. Affected Pokémon could have their scale set to the correct value by depositing and withdrawing from HOME.
*As of v3.1.0, all {{p|Scatterbug}} forms appear to be looking in the same direction. In prior versions, the image of Scatterbug that evolved to Icy Snow Pattern {{p|Vivillon}} appeared to be looking in a different direction than all other forms.

==Limitations==
* {{ga|partner Pokémon|Partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and Partner {{p|Eevee}} cannot be moved out of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] respectively.
* The fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{p|Calyrex}} cannot be moved into Pokémon HOME unless separated, but can still be viewed in the Pokédex as different forms.
* {{p|Spinda}} cannot be transferred between Pokémon HOME and [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] because of a [[List of glitches (Generation VIII)#Spinda spot pattern glitch|bug]] in the latter game that causes the encryption constant to be read as a {{wp|Endianness|big-endian}} value (i.e. bytes are read in reverse order), which would result in a possibility to indirectly change Spinda's spot pattern if it were transferred.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1500557458623778819?s=20&t=mTXrhj_q08wVglb4s7RrVw @Atrius97]</ref><ref name="serebii-twitter">[https://twitter.com/SerebiiNet/status/1526896501653381122?t=yR4quQbGSrUSh1d2BDJfVQ&s=19 @SerebiiNet]</ref>
* {{p|Nincada}} can only be transferred to Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl if it is [[Game of origin|originally from]] those games<ref name="serebii-twitter"/>; such Nincada cannot be transferred to [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. Additionally, Nincada transferred from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[Pokémon GO]] cannot be moved into Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, but can be moved into Sword and Shield. This is in order to prevent [[cloning glitches|clone-related glitches]].
* Pokémon that can normally be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]] only once per save file in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, such as {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, have a transfer limit: only one of each of these Pokémon can be transferred from these games per save file and Pokémon HOME account.
* {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Meowth}} with the [[Gigantamax]] Factor cannot be transferred to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} or {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. This is to prevent them from [[evolution|evolving]] while still having the Gigantamax Factor.<ref name="serebii-twitter"/><ref>[https://twitter.com/SerebiiNet/status/1526900020011745282?s=20&t=EjiW0CDu0avbVjizmVLcmA @SerebiiNet]</ref>
* [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], [[Cosplay Pikachu]], and [[Totem Pokémon|Totem-sized]] {{p|Marowak}}, {{p|Ribombee}}, {{p|Araquanid}}, and {{p|Togedemaru}} cannot be deposited into Pokémon Bank and therefore also cannot be transferred to Pokémon HOME. They also do not appear in the Pokédex as alternate forms.
** Totem-sized Pokémon that are able to be transferred are reduced to their normal sizes when transferred to Pokémon HOME, and also do not appear in the Pokédex as forms.
* Spinda and [[Event Pokémon (GO)|Event Pokémon]] cannot be transferred from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME via the [[GO Transporter]]. Additionally, [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon, [[Shadow Pokémon (GO)|Shadow Pokémon]], and {{p|Hoopa}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Hoopa|Unbound]] cannot be transferred from GO to HOME unless reverted to their standard forms.
* Like in Pokémon Bank, [[held item]]s cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME; depositing a Pokémon holding an item into HOME causes that item to be returned to the [[Bag]] in the game the Pokémon was transferred from.
==Bugs and errors==
*In the mobile version, [[Gigantamax]] [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Toxtricity|Amped Form]] {{p|Toxtricity}} and Gigantamax [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Toxtricity|Low Key Form]] Toxtricity are registered as separate forms in the [[Pokédex]]. In the Switch version, Gigantamax Toxtricity is considered to be a single form regardless of its base form. A member of the Pokémon Company International Support Team claimed that this inconsistency is intended, though was unable to provide a reason.{{fact}}
*As of v2.0.0, Pokémon that do not have any compatible game will not have its base stats, effort value and individual value shown on the Switch version even if the player chooses not to synchronize any game with HOME.
*Due to a bug with how HOME handles punctuation, {{P|Farfetch'd}} and {{P|Sirfetch'd}} without [[nickname]]s [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[Pokémon GO]] will act as though they have nicknames, and cannot be re-nicknamed after being moved into a game. This is due to HOME assigning the incorrect apostrophe, the species name being "Farfetch’d" or "Sirfetch’d" and the nickname being assigned as "Farfetch'd" or "Sirfetch'd" instead.
===Fixed===
*In the Nintendo Switch versions before v2.0.0, all {{p|Arceus}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|forms]] were considered {{type|Normal}} instead of their actual [[type]]s except for the {{type|Dragon}} and {{type|Fairy}} forms.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, when using the "All Forms" filter in the Pokédex, [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Pumpkaboo_and_Gourgeist|Average Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist]] did not appear with their three other forms and were not counted in the total number of forms displayed at the top of the page. Additionally, the Super Size forms replaced the Average Size forms as the default forms shown in the [[National Pokédex]], though viewing either Pokémon's Pokédex entry still displayed all four sizes. This was fixed in v2.0.1.

Pokémon HOME (Japanese: Pokémon HOME) is a cloud service for iOS, iPadOS, Android, and the Nintendo Switch. It serves as a complement to the Nintendo Switch core series games, and is a successor to Pokémon Bank and the Pokémon Global Link. It was released worldwide on February 12, 2020.[note 1]

It was announced at the Pokémon 2019 Press Conference on May 29, 2019.

Pokémon HOME is managed by Pokémon researcher Grand Oak, whose goal is to create a Pokédex that includes every Pokémon in the world.

Features

Pokémon transfer

The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way transfer to and from all Switch core series games. Both the mobile and Switch versions allow one-way transfer from Pokémon Bank (only with a Premium Plan) and Pokémon GO.

Compatibility with Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

Only Pokémon originally from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! can be moved into Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and if such a Pokémon is transferred into a future game, it can no longer be moved back to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

Pokémon that arrive in HOME via transfer from Pokémon Bank or GO Transporter are automatically converted to the same format used by Pokémon Sword and Shield, and therefore cannot enter Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

Compatibility with Generation VIII

The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way transfer to and from all Generation VIII games, beginning with Pokémon Sword and Shield. Pokémon transferred from Pokémon Bank or GO Transporter that are compatible with Sword and Shield can be transferred to and from Sword and Shield freely and retain their movesets.

In version 2.0.0, HOME gained compatibility with Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The set of data used for a Pokémon differs between Sword and Shield, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus, so a Pokémon's moves will be different for each game. If a Pokémon is transferred from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus to Sword and Shield, its origin mark will be replaced with the Galar symbol and its met location will be shown as "the Faraway place", though its actual origin mark will be restored if it is moved back into HOME. Additionally, because Legends: Arceus uses different Poké Balls to the other games, Pokémon originally from Legends: Arceus will appear in a Strange Ball in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Scarlet and Violet or a standard Poké Ball in Sword and Shield, while Pokémon not originally from Legends: Arceus will appear in a Strange Ball in Legends: Arceus (though the original Poké Ball of the Pokémon will be regained if it is moved back into HOME).

Compatibility with Generation IX

Pokémon HOME gained compatibility with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet on May 30, 2023 as part of version 3.0.0, allowing Pokémon to be moved freely between all core series Generation VIII and IX games.

On May 18, 2023, The Pokémon Company International announced that Pokémon HOME support with the games would release on May 24, 2023 at 01:00 UTC, but on May 19, the company announced it was a mistake and said that the actual release date was yet to be announced. No such announcement was made in Japanese by The Pokémon Company, and unlike the later date, the earlier date did not appear in a notice inside the HOME app itself.

In an apparent translation error, the Spanish version of the notice stated that staggered logins would take place from May 30, 2023 06:00 UTC to May 25, 2023 06:00 UTC, instead of the latter date being May 31, 2023 06:00 UTC.[1]

Compatibility with Pokémon GO

Main article: GO Transporter

One-way transfers from Pokémon GO to HOME were made available on November 11, 2020.[note 2] Upon the first transfer, the player will also receive a Melmetal that can Gigantamax in Pokémon HOME.

Transfers from Pokémon GO are subject to their own different set of limitations, modifications, and microtransactions.

Limitations

  • The Totem-sized Pokémon that can be in Pokémon Bank are reduced to their normal sizes when transferred to Pokémon HOME.
  • Pokémon that cannot be traded in-game also cannot be deposited, including the partner Pikachu and partner Eevee, and the fused forms of Kyurem, Necrozma, and Calyrex.
  • Like in Pokémon Bank, held items cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME; depositing a Pokémon holding an item into HOME causes that item to be returned to the Bag in the game the Pokémon was deposited from.
  • From v2.0.0 onward:
    • Gigantamax Factor Pikachu, Eevee, Meowth, and (from v3.2.1 onward) Duraludon cannot be transferred to Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, or Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. This is to prevent them from evolving in games that do not recognize the Gigantamax Factor.
    • Nincada originally from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into any other game, and Nincada from outside of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into those games.
      • This is likely a redundant protection against several cloning glitches due to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's "PokeDupeChecker" having cases to exclude natural clones such as Ninjask/Shedinja, and Pokémon originating from other games from being flagged and subsequently restricted from trades, HOME, and the Pokémon Nursery.[2]
    • Spinda cannot be transferred between Pokémon HOME and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. This is likely due to a glitch in the latter wherein the bytes of Spinda's encryption constant are read as a big-endian value rather than a little-endian value, which would cause Spinda's spot pattern to change on transfer if transfers were possible.
    • In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that can only be caught once per savefile (such as Dialga and Palkia) can only be (newly) deposited once per savefile. This acts as a preventative measure to mitigate the effects of various duplication glitches, such as the Dialga/Palkia rematch glitch.[3]
      • This check is determined per savefile rather than by Original Trainer. This makes it possible to run into this restriction even with official event Pokémon or Pokémon traded from other save files of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl unless the player can trade one of the Pokémon to another game without going through HOME. This cannot be circumvented with multiple HOME accounts, as it will recognize the savefile regardless.
  • If a Pokémon from Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is Hyper Trained in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, it can't be sent back unless it reaches level 100.

Pokémon storage

On the free Basic Plan, up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited in one box named the "Basic Box". The Basic Box cannot be manually organized and will always sort Pokémon from most to least recently deposited/traded for (with most recent at the top left). Ties are broken by Pokédex order.[4]

On the Premium Plan, up to 6,000 Pokémon can be deposited in 200 boxes named "HOME 1" through "HOME 200", which can be freely organized as with core series PC boxes. When a Basic Plan is upgraded, all Pokémon in the Basic Box appear in HOME 1; however, the reverse is not true. When a Premium Plan ends, only the 30 Pokémon most recently deposited/traded for will appear in the Basic Box, regardless of which of the HOME 1-200 boxes they were originally in, and any other Pokémon will be inaccessible.[5]

The Nintendo Switch version of HOME has access to the Pokémon Storage System within every save file from all accounts on the Switch. This means that as long as a save file exists, Pokémon HOME has access to all of the player's Pokémon (except those in the party), and can use the boxes for local storage, with no need to keep the cartridges or digital installations.

Pokémon HOME also has the option to release multiple Pokémon at once; however, players cannot release more than 100 Pokémon per synchronization and must save before they can release more Pokémon.

The stats judge function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.

Pokémon do not display specific met locations while in the Nintendo Switch version of HOME, instead only displaying the region corresponding to their game of origin. As of v2.0.0, the mobile version will display both a region and a location name within that region, but for Pokémon transferred from the Virtual Console games through Poké Transporter, the latter will simply be a second copy of the region name, and for Pokémon transferred from Generation III or IV, the latter location will be displayed as "Poké Shifter" (the transliterated Japanese name for Poké Transfer).

Game-specific data and HOME tracker value

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Check whether contest conditions, sheen, Ribbons, and marks are included in game-specific data or not

Depositing any Pokémon into HOME for the first time will assign it a HOME tracker value, a 64-bit number unique to it that is used to detect clones and other hacked Pokémon. For example, a Pokémon hacked to have a random tracker value can be detected as HOME will not remember having assigned this value in the past. The tracker value is also used for the restriction on newly depositing certain Legendary or Mythical Pokémon from Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl; a Pokémon is being newly deposited if it does not have a HOME tracker value already. This tracker value is stored with the Pokémon and cannot be changed.

From v2.0.0 onwards, the tracker value is also used to keep track of a Pokémon's game-specific data. Each Pokémon has up to four sets of data depending on which games it has been in: Pokémon Sword and Shield, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Pokémon from Pokémon Bank, Pokémon GO, and Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! use the same set of data as Sword and Shield as a default. Most Pokémon obtained from gifts within Pokémon HOME itself also default to Sword and Shield, though some default to other games. Data that is not transferred between games is stored in the server, such as:

For example, the alpha Pokémon flag is not stored in the Pokémon data of games other than Pokémon Legends: Arceus. If a Pokémon from Legends: Arceus is transferred to another game and back, it keeps its alpha flag due to HOME associating the flag with that Pokémon's HOME tracker value, with the flag being retained in its Legends: Arceus set of data.

Pokémon transferred from Bank, GO, or Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, as well as most Pokémon from gifts in HOME, retain their original moves (or, in the case of Pokémon from GO, their moves as determined by GO Transporter) when transferred to Pokémon Sword and Shield; this is treated as the Sword and Shield moveset for that Pokémon. When a Pokémon is transferred to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Legends: Arceus, or Scarlet and Violet for the first time, or when a Pokémon from any of those games (or a gift in HOME corresponding to any of those games) is transferred to Sword and Shield for the first time, a new moveset is generated for that game's data set, using the four most recent level-up moves of that species in that game. A Pokémon's potential new moveset can be seen while transferring it, but it is not saved until the transfer is complete.

From v3.0.0 onwards, Abilities are stored in game-specific data. A Pokémon's Legends: Arceus data set does not display an Ability, though it has one that is stored internally, while Pokémon from Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! do not have an Ability until being transferred into another game. From v3.0.0 to v3.1.0, due to a bug, any changes to a Pokémon's Ability using an Ability Capsule or Ability Patch in one game would not affect its Ability in other games it already had data for; starting in v3.1.0, any Pokémon affected by this bug that is deposited into HOME is fixed by having the Ability from its most recent game assigned to all of its applicable sets of data.

The set of data displayed when a Pokémon's summary is viewed in HOME varies. In the Nintendo Switch version prior to v3.0.0, only the Sword and Shield set of data would be displayed for all Pokémon, unless the application was currently connected to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus, in which case the data sets would match this; Pokémon not compatible with any Generation VIII game would display no stats or moves from v2.0.0 to v3.0.0. Starting in v3.0.0, if Pokémon HOME is currently connected to a game, Pokémon compatible with that game will display the corresponding data set, while others will display the set of the game that they were in most recently; if HOME is not currently connected to a game, the default data set for all Pokémon will be that of the game they were in most recently, but if a Pokémon has multiple sets, they can be switched between using the "Change View" option. The type of Poké Ball shown will change depending on which set of data is being displayed, though the origin mark will always be correct. In the mobile version prior to v3.0.0, the set of data displayed for a Pokémon would be that of the game it was in most recently; starting in v3.0.0, the default data set shown matches its most recent game, but other data sets can also be viewed. Both the type of Poké Ball shown and the origin mark will always be correct, as well as the met location.[6][7][8][9][10]

Trading

Pokémon can be traded using the mobile version. Unlike online trades in the core series, trades in HOME do not trigger trade Evolution.

There are four types of trades:

  • Wonder Box (Japanese: ミラクルボックス Miracle Box): Up to 3 Pokémon (10 Pokémon with a Premium Plan) can be deposited for trade at once. Like Wonder Trades and Surprise Trades, they will be traded at random for other Pokémon. Unlike the latter which trades the Pokémon in a matter of seconds, players will have to wait 1 hour (6 hours prior to version 1.1) before the Pokémon they deposited in the wonder box gets traded.
  • GTS: One Pokémon (3 Pokémon with a Premium Plan) can be deposited for trade at once, in exchange for a requested Pokémon.
  • Room Trade (Japanese: グループ交換 Group Exchange): Players can join a room of up to 20 people to exchange Pokémon among them. Players can also host a room with a Premium Plan.
  • Friend Trade (Japanese: フレンド交換 Friend Exchange): Players can trade Pokémon with friends registered in Pokémon HOME. There is a limit of 10 trades per day, regardless of whether the Basic Plan or Premium Plan is being used.

At least some event Pokémon appear to be impossible to trade for about a week to a few weeks after their initial release. This restriction applies separately to even different language versions of the same event Pokémon if they are released at different times.[11][12]

Pokédex

Main article: Pokédex (HOME)

Pokémon HOME features a National Pokédex that records information on Pokémon that have been deposited in the Boxes in Pokémon HOME. The mobile version of Pokémon HOME has a section of the Pokédex where moves and Abilities are listed and can be registered.

Starting in the v2.0.0 update, the mobile version of Pokémon HOME also features regional Pokédexes for each of the Nintendo Switch core series games and Pokémon GO, which can only be filled with Pokémon originating from the game in question.

Mystery Gifts

Main article: List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII
Main article: List of other event distributions in Generation VIII
Main article: List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation IX

Gifts can be received using the mobile app's Mystery Gift feature. Pokémon received in this way are placed directly into the storage in Pokémon HOME. The feature can also generate serial codes for item distributions in a Nintendo Switch game.

When first starting Pokémon HOME, the player will already have a Pikachu in their storage. When first starting the mobile version in particular (regardless of whether the Nintendo Switch version has been used yet), Grand Oak will give the player a choice between Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle, each of which have their Hidden Abilities. Various other Pokémon may also be received from the Gift Box in the mobile version for completing certain tasks. Pokémon obtained from gifts in HOME use "Pokémon HOME" as their met location rather than any specific region; despite this, the majority of them use Pokémon Sword as their game of origin, with some using other Nintendo Switch core series games.

Achievements

In the mobile version, the player can complete Challenges to unlock stickers.

In the Nintendo Switch version, the player can complete Research Tasks.

Points

Pokémon HOME Points serve as a currency of sorts, replacing Poké Miles from Pokémon Bank. Every midnight UTC, the player gains a Pokémon HOME Point for every 31 stored Pokémon (rounded down). This calculation includes any inaccessible Pokémon the player may have in HOME as a result of a downgrade to the free plan. An account can accumulate a maximum of 99,999 Points at once.

Pokémon HOME Points can then be converted and transferred into Generation VIII and Generation IX games in the Nintendo Switch version:

Move Reminder

The 3.0.0 update added Move Reminder functionality in the Nintendo Switch version. The moves that can be learned through this feature are the standard level up moves for the game in use, as well as any moves in other game movesets (including both current moves and moves flagged as re-learnable) that are legal for the game in use. For example, a Tauros that knows Take Down in its Pokémon Sword and Shield moveset can be taught Take Down in its Pokémon Scarlet and Violet moveset using this feature, as Tauros can be taught Take Down in Scarlet and Violet via TM. However, a Moltres with Burn Up in its Pokémon Sword and Shield moveset cannot be taught Burn Up in its Pokémon Scarlet and Violet moveset, as Moltres cannot learn Burn Up in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet by any means.

This feature is the only way to access several otherwise unobtainable Egg Moves in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Other

Players can customize their item called a binder in My Room using stickers obtained by completing challenges.

In the mobile version, players can also view Battle Data and News, replacing the Rankings, Distribution Regulations, and Event Calendar features of the Pokémon Global Link.

Bugs and errors

  • In the Galar Pokédex in the mobile version, Hippopotas is incorrectly displayed as its Shiny form instead of its non-Shiny appearance.
  • In the GTS in the mobile version, since the ability to request and search for Pokémon with specific forms and languages of origin was added, selecting to exclude requests for Pokémon the user does not have does not exclude requests for forms or languages that the user does not have as long as they have at least one of the Pokémon in any form or language.
  • Due to a bug with how HOME handles punctuation, Farfetch'd and Sirfetch'd without nicknames transferred from Pokémon Bank or Pokémon GO will act as though they have nicknames, and cannot be re-nicknamed after being moved into a game. This is due to HOME assigning the incorrect apostrophe, the species name being "Farfetch’d" or "Sirfetch’d" and the nickname being assigned as "Farfetch'd" or "Sirfetch'd" instead.
  • If a Sandy Cloak or Trash Cloak Burmy in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Pokémon Legends: Arceus evolves into Mothim and is then deposited into HOME, it will not count towards the Sinnoh or Hisui regional Pokédexes (but will still count towards the National Pokédex).[13]
  • In the mobile version's National Pokédex, the total number of Pokémon shown at the top of the page always includes all forms, even if the user has not selected to show all forms.
  • In the Nintendo Switch version, when browsing the Boxes while not connected to a game, Pokémon transferred from Pokémon GO to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! and deposited in HOME display the Strange Ball unless they were transferred into and out of another Switch game.

Fixed

  • For approximately the first eight hours of release (February 12, 2020 between 01:00 UTC and 09:00 UTC), any Hyper Training performed in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon was lost upon transferring from Pokémon Bank. Details on how to restore it were announced in the app and on the official support websites.[14][15]
    • Pokémon HOME went down for maintenance on February 25, 2020 between 01:30 and 11:30 UTC, during which any affected Pokémon stored in HOME at the time regained their Hyper Training.
  • Initially, HOME would automatically delete any Pokémon with duplicate tracker values on the assumption that they were hacked clones; however, this behavior would cause one of a Ninjask and Shedinja pair to be deleted as the HOME tracker value was among the data copied to Shedinja.
    • This was partially fixed sometime between February 25, 2020 and February 28, 2020 when HOME would instead disallow a Pokémon with a duplicate tracker value from being deposited.[16][17] It was fully fixed sometime around April 23, 2020, and depositing a Ninjask and Shedinja with duplicate tracker values will now cause HOME to reassign the Shedinja a new tracker value.[18] The Shedinja will have its tracker reassigned the first time it is deposited into HOME, regardless of what its game of origin is, whether it previously had a HOME tracker value from visiting HOME as a Nincada, or whether it is deposited into HOME at the same time as the matching Ninjask.[19]
  • In the Nintendo Switch versions before v2.0.0, all Arceus forms were considered Normal-type instead of their actual types except for the Dragon-type and Fairy-type forms.
  • In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, when using the "All Forms" filter in the Pokédex, Average Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist did not appear with their three other forms and were not counted in the total number of forms displayed at the top of the page. Additionally, the Super Size forms replaced the Average Size forms as the default forms shown in the National Pokédex, though viewing either Pokémon's Pokédex entry still displayed all four sizes. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
  • In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, the user's boxes from the Nintendo Switch version would not be displayed on the label selection screen when selecting Pokémon for a trade. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
  • In v2.0.0 in the mobile version, after using the GTS or Wonder Box, the entries in the regional Pokédexes would be reset and would only have entries registered for Pokémon currently in HOME, lacking any entries registered for Pokémon that were not in HOME at the time the bug occurred. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
  • In v2.0.0 between May 18, 2022 06:00 UTC and May 27, 2022 01:00 UTC, some players would receive error code 10015 an unknown percentage of the time after depositing Pokémon and attempting to save changes, preventing Pokémon from being deposited. This was fixed in v2.0.1, and affected players who were on the Premium Plan at the time received 10 free days (including those whose subscriptions ended between receiving the error and the release of v2.0.1).[20]
  • In the mobile version only, Black Kyurem's Pokédex entries for Pokémon Sword and Shield were the same as those of regular Kyurem, even though Black Kyurem has its own entries in the Switch version. This was fixed in v2.0.2.
  • Starting in v2.0.0 in the Switch version only, Pokémon that were transferred from Pokémon Bank, Pokémon GO, or Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! but had not been moved to a compatible game in Generation VIII (or were not compatible with any games in that generation) would not have their base stats, effort values, individual values, or moves shown, even if the player chose not to connect any game with HOME. This was fixed in v3.0.0.
  • In the mobile version in v3.0.0, all Spinda would always display the same spot pattern when viewed in their summary, regardless of their actual patterns. This was fixed in v3.0.1.
  • In the mobile version, although Koraidon and Miraidon are counted as "special Pokémon" for the purpose of the GTS's filters, they were initially included in the list of the most popular Pokémon requests that excludes special Pokémon. This was later corrected, with Koraidon and Miraidon now being consistently considered special Pokémon. The same issue later arose with Terapagos.
  • Between May 30, 2023 06:00 UTC and July 4, 2023 00:00 UTC, the alpha Pokémon caught as part of Missions 14 through 16 in Pokémon Legends: Arceus would fail to have their scale value set to the maximum when transferred to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, making them ineligible for the Jumbo Mark. Affected Pokémon could have their scale set to the correct value by depositing and withdrawing from HOME.
  • As of v3.1.0, all Scatterbug forms appear to be looking in the same direction. In prior versions, the image of Scatterbug that evolved to Icy Snow Pattern Vivillon appeared to be looking in a different direction than all other forms.

Trivia

  • All of the Pokémon appear in Pokémon HOME posed in the same position as their official art, with Pokémon from the Generations I and II taking on their poses from their redesigned art from Generations III and IV respectively.
    • Furthermore, Shiny Pokémon appear as Shiny, instead of their usual colorations, and gender differences are visible.
    • In the Nintendo Switch version, these static renders are used on the summary screen. On the mobile version, full 3D models are used instead, though the renders are still used as menu sprites like in the Switch version. As a result, the location of Spinda's spots is only visible in the mobile version, as Spinda's render does not change to match its spots.
    • In the Nintendo Switch version, some of these renders were improved in version 1.2.[26]
  • Prior to the 1.0.3 update, several test GIF animations of Pikachu were present along with a GIF file of Vocaloid Meiko dancing and accidentally knocking over Kagamine Rin.[27]
  • The Nintendo Switch and mobile versions cannot be used at the same time with the same account.
  • Prior to version 1.1, Friend Trades were restricted to local trades only and could only be performed three times per day, and Wonder Box trades took six hours to complete. To celebrate the release of version 1.1, which released during the COVID-19 pandemic limiting in-person gatherings, the local trade restriction was lifted, the daily Friend Trade limit increased to 10, and the Wonder Box duration decreased to one hour. All of these changes were initially intended to be temporary[28] but they have not been reverted.
  • The regional Pokédex for Pokémon GO that was added to the mobile version in v2.0.0 contains every Pokémon in the National Pokédex (except for Mythical Pokémon), which includes Pokémon that have not been released in Pokémon GO, as well as certain Pokémon that cannot be transferred from Pokémon GO such as Spinda, thus making it impossible to complete this Pokédex.
  • Each HOME account generates its own Trainer ID and secret ID, which is assigned to some Pokémon received from Mystery Gifts in HOME. To prevent these Pokémon with a personality value of 00000000 (hexadecimal) from being Shiny, rather than assigning a different personality value, HOME will never generate an account's ID numbers where the combination results in that personality value being calculated as Shiny.[29]
  • Prior to HOME's major v2.0.0 update, the servers went down for maintenance between 00:00 UTC and 06:00 UTC on May 18, 2022. Afterward, users were given staggered login times for 19 hours (until 01:00 UTC May 19, 2022) to reduce server load. However, newly created accounts after the maintenance were not staggered and could log in immediately.
  • A total of 10 Pokémon cannot be transferred out of Pokémon HOME into any Generation VIII or IX game: Spinda, Patrat, Watchog, Pansage, Simisage, Pansear, Simisear, Panpour, Simipour, and Furfrou.
    • Additionally, Alolan Rattata and Alolan Raticate cannot be transferred out of HOME into any Generation VIII or IX game.
    • Spinda, Deoxys, Patrat, Watchog, Pansage, Simisage, Pansear, Simisear, Panpour, Simipour, Furfrou, Diancie, Hoopa, Magearna, and Meltan are the only Pokémon that cannot currently be obtained in Pokémon HOME without transferring them from Pokémon Bank or Pokémon GO (though Melmetal requires a transfer from GO to be obtained, it does not have to be Melmetal that is transferred as any transfer allows a Melmetal to be obtained in HOME).
      • Spinda and Magearna are the only Pokémon that cannot currently be obtained in Pokémon HOME without transferring them from Pokémon Bank.
  • Transferring a Pokémon with a censored word according to the Nintendo Switch system in its nickname from Pokémon Bank to Pokémon HOME does not erase the nickname, unlike when transferring Pokémon to Bank via Poké Transporter.
