Getting Your Pokémon Ready for Transfer

To transfer Pokémon, make sure you have:

• Pokémon Scarlet or Violet installed on your device.

Important Information to Consider

• Transfer speed: Depending on your storage device, file sizes, and Pokémon complexity, transfers may take up to an hour.

Before starting to transfer Pokémon, it is vital to familiarize yourself with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet as it requires specific Pokémon formats. Remember, transfer errors or problems can arise with outdated devices or incorrect device formats, so make sure your Pokémon Home software, as well as your mobile or handheld device, is compatible.
