What Pokémon Can Be Transferred from Pokémon Home?
Pokémon Home is a new cloud-based service that allows players to store and manage their Pokémon collections across various Pokémon games. One of the most exciting features of Pokémon Home is the ability to transfer Pokémon from one game to another. In this article, we’ll explore what Pokémon can be transferred from Pokémon Home, and what limitations apply to this feature.
Notable Pokémon That Can Be Transferred
Over 130 Pokémon or forms can be transferred from Pokémon Home to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. These include:
• Legendaries: Mewtwo, Mew, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres (Kantonian and Galarian forms)
• Starters: Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise
• Other Pokémon: Celebi, Jirachi, Cobalion, and Virizion
What’s Not Transferable
Unfortunately, not all Pokémon can be transferred from Pokémon Home to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Some Pokémon cannot be transferred due to certain limitations, including:
• Shadow Pokémon: Pokémon with a Shadow status cannot be transferred
• Mega-Evolved Pokémon: Mega-evolved Pokémon cannot be transferred back to their original form
• Costumed Pokémon: Pokémon with costumes or hats cannot be transferred
• Buddy Pokémon: Pokémon designated as a Buddy cannot be transferred
Transferring Pokémon from Pokémon Go
While Pokémon Home allows you to transfer Pokémon from other Pokémon games, it’s essential to note that Pokémon Go is not directly compatible with Pokémon Home. However, you can transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Go to Pokémon Home, and then transfer those Pokémon to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Roaming Form Gimmighoul is the only exception, as it can be transferred directly from Pokémon Go to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Game Sharing
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet offer a game-sharing feature that allows friends to join each other’s games and battle together. This feature also enables the transfer of Pokémon between games. When you join a friend’s game, you can receive exclusive Pokémon from their game, and vice versa. Miraidon and Koraidon are the box legendaries in Scarlet and Violet, and players can find the second version of their game’s box legendary after completing the Area Zero quest.
Transfer Limitations
When transferring Pokémon from Pokémon Home to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, there are some limitations to be aware of:
• Transfer Limit: Pokémon can only be transferred to the game where they originally reside. For example, if you have a Pikachu in Pokémon Home, it can only be transferred to Pokémon Sword or Shield.
• Pokémon Region: Pokémon can only be transferred between games of the same region. For instance, you cannot transfer Pokémon from the Kanto region to the Galar region.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Pokémon Home offers an exciting feature that allows you to transfer Pokémon from other games to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. While there are some limitations to be aware of, the ability to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Go and other games is a significant enhancement to the Pokémon experience. With over 130 Pokémon or forms that can be transferred, players can now enjoy a wider range of Pokémon in their games, and explore new adventures with their favorite characters.
