Pokémon HOME (Japanese: Pokémon HOME) is a cloud service for iOS, 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.
Features
Pokémon HOME is managed by Pokémon researcher Grand Oak, whose goal is to create a Pokédex that includes every Pokémon in the world.
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! and Pokémon Sword and Shield using the Nintendo Switch version. However, only Pokémon originally deposited from Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! can be transferred to them, and only Pokémon present in the coding of Sword and Shield can be transferred to Sword and Shield. Additionally, any Pokémon transferred to Sword and Shield cannot be transferred back to Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. 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.
On the free plan, up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited in one box named the "Basic Box". This increases to 6,000 Pokémon with a Premium Plan and 200 boxes named "HOME 1" through "HOME 200". 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.
The Judge function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.
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.
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.
National 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, VII, and VIII core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate forms of Pokémon can also be registered.
The mobile app version of Pokémon HOME also allows players to view the possible moves and Abilities a Pokémon can have.
Upon completing the National Pokédex, an Original Color 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.
Mystery Gifts
- Main article: List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII
- Main article: List of other event distributions in Generation VIII
Gifts for Pokémon Sword and Shield as well as Pokémon HOME itself can be received using the mobile app's Mystery Gift feature. Pokémon received can be deposited directly into the Boxes in Pokémon HOME. The feature can also generate serial codes for item distributions.
When first starting Pokémon HOME mobile, Grand Oak will give the user the choice between Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. Each of these Pokémon have their Hidden Abilities. Various other Pokémon may also be received from the Gift Box for completing certain tasks.
Achievements
In the mobile version, the player can complete Challenges to unlock stickers.
In the Nintendo Switch version, the player can complete Research Tasks.
Transfer from Pokémon GO
- Main article: GO Transporter
One-way transfers from Pokémon GO to HOME was 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 PokéCoins or simply waiting.
Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that were transferred from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME can only be transferred to Pokémon Sword or Shield 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, if they are traded to a different HOME account then they will be transferrable into Pokémon Sword or Shield without needing to have been previously obtained.
Upon the first transfer, the player will also receive a Melmetal that can Gigantamax in Pokémon HOME.
Other
Players can customize their item called a binder in My Room using stickers obtained by completing Challenges.
In the mobile app, players can also view Battle Data and News, replacing the Rankings, Distribution Regulations, and Event Calendar features of the Pokémon Global Link.
Pokémon HOME Points replace Poké Miles 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, which can be transferred in the Nintendo Switch version.

Trivia
- Cosplay Pikachu, Totem Pokémon exclusive to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (Marowak, Ribombee, Araquanid, and Togedemaru), fused Necrozma, and fused Kyurem are the only Pokémon available in the Nintendo 3DS core series games that cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME. The fused Necrozma and fused Kyurem, however, can still be viewed in the Pokédex as different forms.
- Totem Pokémon that are able to be transferred are reduced to their normal sizes when transferred to Pokémon HOME.
- Like in Pokémon Bank, Held Items cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME.
- The partner Pikachu and Eevee are the only Pokémon available in the Nintendo Switch core series games that cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME. Like in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s Pokédex, they are not counted in as separate forms in HOME's National Pokédex, and appear as normal Pikachu and Eevee when their status is viewed.
- The Event Pokémon are the only Pokémon available in Pokémon GO that cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME.
- Until February 12, 2020 at 18:00 JST, any Hyper Training performed in the Alola games was lost upon transferring from Pokémon Bank. Details on how to restore were announced in the app and on the official support websites.[3][4]
- All of the Pokémon appear in the Pokédex posed in the same position as their official art, with Pokémon from the Generations I and II taking on 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.
- 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.[5]
- The Nintendo eShop version cannot be used while the mobile version is being used at the same time, and vice-versa.
