Poké Transfer (Japanese: ポケシフター PokéShifter) is a feature in the Generation V games Pokémon Black and White. It is located in the Poké Transfer Lab on Route 15.

The Poké Transfer is a feature that allows Pokémon from any Generation IV game to be transferred to Pokémon Black and White, similar to Generation IV's Pal Park. It can be visited after the main storyline of the games has been completed and the player has obtained the National Pokédex.

Transferring

By using the Nintendo DS's Download Play, a player can send six Pokémon from a Generation IV game to Black and White. The player will then participate in a mini-game in which they must capture the Pokémon using a bow that shoots special Poké Balls. There is a time limit, and if all six Pokémon are not captured within the time limit, the Pokémon will be sent back to the Generation IV game. The player has no limits on how many Pokémon they can transfer a day. Any Pokémon can be transferred over except the Spiky-eared Pichu and eggs. Pokémon are not allowed to have held items, or know any HM moves. Like Pal Park, Pokémon sent over cannot be returned to any Generation IV game.

In the mini-game, there are several rows of bushes that the Pokémon hide behind, sticking their heads out from time to time, or jumping from bush to bush at varying speeds. The only time that they can be caught is when their head/body is not covered by a bush. To help with the catching of Pokémon, near the end of the time limit a pink cloud of Sleep Powder will float across the screen, which will put all Pokémon to sleep. While they are asleep, the Pokémon can be hit regardless of where they are, and have their position shown by sleeping "zzz"s. It is possible for a Pokémon to have jumped off-screen when they are put to sleep; in that case, they won't be possible to hit until they wake up and come back on-screen.
