How Many Accounts Can Be Linked to Pokémon HOME?
Pokémon HOME is a new cloud-based service offered by The Pokémon Company and Niantic Inc., designed to allow players to connect and manage their Pokémon collection across various Pokémon games, including the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. One common question that many players are asking is: how many accounts can be linked to Pokémon HOME?
In this article, we’ll delve into the details and answer this question once and for all.
**No, each Pokémon HOME account can be linked to one Nintendo Account at a time**
According to the Pokémon HOME FAQ, each account is independent from your Nintendo Switch console and mobile devices, but it is tied to a single Nintendo Account. This means that you cannot have multiple Nintendo Accounts linked to the same Pokémon HOME account.
No, each Nintendo Account can be linked to one Pokémon HOME account
So, if you have multiple Nintendo Accounts, you cannot link them all to a single Pokémon HOME account. You’ll need to decide which Nintendo Account you want to use for your Pokémon HOME account.
Limitations on Transferring Shiny, Legendary, and Mythical Pokémon
Keep in mind that there are certain limitations on transferring some types of Pokémon, including:
- Shiny Pokémon: You can transfer a maximum of one shiny Pokémon at a time
- Legendary and Mythical Pokémon: Certain Pokémon, such as Mew, Celebi, and Zen Mode Darmanitan, cannot be transferred, and some, like Pirouette Meloetta, will revert to their default form if transferred.
- Buddy Pokémon: You cannot transfer buddy Pokémon with whom you have reached Good Buddy status or above.
Pokémon Bank Support
Pokémon Bank is not shutting down, but Nintendo has mentioned that support for the service "may also end at some point in the future." To ensure that you don’t lose access to your Pokémon, it is recommended to use Pokémon Home instead.
**Linking Multiple Pokémon GO Accounts
Unfortunately, Pokémon Home currently only allows a single connection between your Nintendo Switch, mobile device, and Pokémon Home. This means that if you have multiple Pokémon GO accounts, you cannot transfer them all to a single Pokémon Home account.
In Conclusion
In this article, we’ve seen that each Pokémon HOME account can be linked to a single Nintendo Account, with certain limitations on transferring special types of Pokémon. Make sure to plan ahead when setting up your Pokémon Home account to ensure that your favorite Pokémon are safely stored.
