'''Pokémon HOME''' (Japanese: '''Pokémon HOME''') is a cloud service for {{wp|iOS}}, {{wp|iPadOS}}, {{wp|Android (operating system)|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.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zone differences, the app was released on February 11, 2020 in the Americas, even though it was released at the same time as the rest of the world.</ref>

It was announced at the [[Pokémon Presents#May 29, 2019|Pokémon 2019 Press Conference]] on May 29, 2019.

Pokémon HOME is managed by Pokémon researcher [[Grand Oak]], whose goal is to create a [[Pokédex]] that includes every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}.

Pokémon HOME is usable in ten languages: Japanese, English, German, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Latin American Spanish was added in the version 4.0.0 update on April 2, 2026.

==Features==
===Pokémon transfer===
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way [[transfer]] to and from all Switch [[core series]] games. Both the mobile and Switch versions allow one-way transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] (only with a Premium Plan) and [[Pokémon GO]].

====Compatibility with Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
Only Pokémon originally from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can be moved into Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and if such a Pokémon is transferred into a future game or is sent to visit {{g|Champions}}, it can no longer be moved back to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

Pokémon that arrive in HOME via transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] are automatically converted to the same format used by {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and therefore cannot enter Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

====Compatibility with Generation VIII====
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way transfer to and from all [[Generation VIII]] games, beginning with {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] that are compatible with Sword and Shield can be transferred to and from Sword and Shield freely and retain their movesets.

In version 2.0.0, HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. The set of data used for a Pokémon differs between Sword and Shield, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus, so a Pokémon's moves will be different for each game. If a Pokémon is transferred from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus to Sword and Shield, its [[origin mark]] will be replaced with the Galar symbol and its met location will be shown as a "[[faraway place]]", though its actual origin mark will be restored if it is moved back into HOME. Additionally, because Legends: Arceus uses different [[Poké Ball]]s to the other games, Pokémon originally from Legends: Arceus will appear in a [[Strange Ball]] in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}}, and {{pkmn|Legends: Z-A}}, or a standard {{i|Poké Ball}} in Sword and Shield, while Pokémon not originally from Legends: Arceus will appear in a Strange Ball in Legends: Arceus (though the original Poké Ball of the Pokémon will be regained if it is moved back into HOME).

====Compatibility with Generation IX====
Pokémon HOME gained compatibility with {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} on May 30, 2023 as part of version 3.0.0, allowing Pokémon to be moved freely between Scarlet and Violet and all core series Generation VIII games.

On May 18, 2023, [[The Pokémon Company International]] announced that Pokémon HOME support with the games would release on May 24, 2023 at 01:00 UTC, but on May 19, the company announced it was a mistake and said that the actual release date was yet to be announced. No such announcement was made in Japanese by [[The Pokémon Company]], and unlike the later date, the earlier date did not appear in a notice inside the HOME app itself.

In an apparent translation error, the Spanish version of the notice stated that staggered logins would take place from May 30, 2023 06:00 UTC to May 25, 2023 06:00 UTC, instead of the latter date being May 31, 2023 06:00 UTC.<ref>https://twitter.com/MelkorPxP/status/1661886523539697664</ref>

Pokémon HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] on April 2, 2026 as part of version 4.0.0. Pokémon transferred into Legends: Z-A cannot be transferred back to previous games, nor can Pokémon obtained in Legends: Z-A be transferred back to previous games.<ref>https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/pokemon-home</ref>

====Compatibility with Pokémon GO====
{{main|GO Transporter}}
One-way transfers from [[Pokémon GO]] to HOME were made available on November 11, 2020.<ref group="note" name="releasego">Due to time zone differences, GO Transporter was released on November 10, 2020 in the Americas.</ref> Upon the first transfer, the player will also receive a {{p|Melmetal}} that can [[Gigantamax]] in Pokémon HOME.

Transfers from Pokémon GO are subject to their own different set of limitations, modifications, and microtransactions.

====Compatibility with Pokémon Champions====
Pokémon HOME will be able to connect to [[Pokémon Champions]] to use Pokémon from other titles in the game, though this is limited to Pokémon that appear in Pokémon Champions. Pokémon originally obtained in Pokémon Champions cannot be deposited in Pokémon HOME.
Data in HOME is used to determine the intital moveset, stat alignment and Stat Points of the Pokémon. Any changes in Champions are not reflected when the Pokémon is sent back to HOME, and any subsequent changes in another game will not affect the data in Champions.

''For more details, see '''[[Pokémon Champions#Connectivity|Pokémon Champions→Connectivity]]'''.''

==== Compatibility with FireRed and LeafGreen ====
One-way transfers from the Nintendo Switch version of [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]] to HOME will be available in the future.

====Limitations====
* The Totem-sized Pokémon that can be in [[Pokémon Bank]] are reduced to their normal sizes when transferred to Pokémon HOME.
* Pokémon that cannot be [[trade]]d in-game also cannot be deposited, including the {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}}, and the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{p|Calyrex}}.
* Like in Pokémon Bank, [[held item]]s cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME; depositing a Pokémon holding an item into HOME causes that item to be returned to the [[Bag]] in the game the Pokémon was deposited from.
* {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon sent to Pokémon HOME via GO Transporter can only be withdrawn from that particular HOME account to a core series game if they have been registered to the Pokédex of that game or obtained at least once in that game. This restriction applies to individual forms; for example, a {{form|Deoxys|Speed Forme}} {{p|Deoxys}} cannot be withdrawn to a save file that has only seen the Normal, Attack, and Defense Formes of Deoxys.
* From v2.0.0 onward:
** [[Gigantamax]] Factor {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and (from v3.2.1 onward) {{p|Duraludon}} cannot be transferred to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, or {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. This is to prevent them from [[Evolution|evolving]] in games that do not recognize the Gigantamax Factor.
** {{p|Nincada}} [[Game of origin|originally from]] Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into any other game, and Nincada from outside of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into those games.
*** This is likely a redundant protection against several cloning glitches due to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's "PokeDupeChecker" having cases to exclude natural clones such as Ninjask/Shedinja, and Pokémon originating from other games from being flagged and subsequently restricted from trades and entering Pokémon HOME.<ref>https://twitter.com/Kaphotics/status/1495965127031816192</ref>
** {{p|Spinda}} cannot be transferred between Pokémon HOME and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. This is likely due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitches|glitch]] in the latter wherein the bytes of Spinda's [[encryption constant]] are read as a {{wp|Endianness|big-endian}} value rather than a little-endian value, which would cause Spinda's spot pattern to change on transfer if transfers were possible.
** In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] that can only be {{pkmn2|caught}} once per savefile (such as {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}) can only be (newly) deposited once per savefile. This acts as a preventative measure to mitigate the effects of various duplication glitches, such as the Dialga/Palkia rematch glitch.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuVzL1Wf6-I</ref>
*** This check is determined per savefile rather than by [[Original Trainer]]. This makes it possible to run into this restriction even with official event Pokémon or Pokémon traded from other save files of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl unless the player can trade one of the Pokémon to another game without going through HOME. This cannot be circumvented with multiple HOME accounts, as it will recognize the savefile regardless.
* If a Pokémon from {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} is Hyper Trained in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, it can't be sent back unless it reaches level 100.

===Pokémon storage===
On the free Basic Plan, up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited in one box named the "Basic Box". The Basic Box cannot be manually organized and will always sort Pokémon from most to least recently deposited/traded for (with most recent at the top left). Ties are broken by Pokédex order.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/orange-islands-sqsa-thread.3603112/page-63#post-9241707</ref>

On the Premium Plan, up to 6,000 Pokémon can be deposited in 200 boxes named "HOME 1" through "HOME 200", which can be freely organized as with core series PC boxes. When a Basic Plan is upgraded, all Pokémon in the Basic Box appear in HOME 1; however, the reverse is not true. When a Premium Plan ends, only the 30 Pokémon most recently deposited/traded for 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.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039615831-If-I-deposit-31-or-more-Pok%C3%A9mon-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-and-my-Premium-Plan-expires-what-will-happen-to-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref>

The Nintendo Switch version of HOME has access to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] within every save file from all accounts on the Switch. This means that as long as a save file exists, Pokémon HOME has access to all of the player's Pokémon (except those in the [[party]]), and can use the boxes for local storage, with no need to keep the cartridges or digital installations.

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.

The [[stats judge]] function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.

Pokémon do not display specific met locations while in the Nintendo Switch version of HOME, instead only displaying the region corresponding to their [[game of origin]]. As of v2.0.0, the mobile version will display both a region and a location name within that region, but for Pokémon transferred from the Virtual Console games through Poké Transporter, the latter will simply be a second copy of the region name, and for Pokémon transferred from [[Generation III]] or {{gen|IV}}, the latter location will be displayed as "Poké Shifter" (the transliterated Japanese name for [[Poké Transfer]]).

====Game-specific data and HOME tracker value====
{{Incomplete|section|Check whether contest conditions, sheen, Ribbons, and marks are included in game-specific data or not}}
Depositing any Pokémon into HOME for the first time will assign it a HOME tracker value, a 64-bit number unique to it that is used to detect [[Cloning glitches|clones]] and other [[Cheating|hacked]] Pokémon. For example, a Pokémon hacked to have a random tracker value can be detected as HOME will not remember having assigned this value in the past. The tracker value is also used for the restriction on newly depositing certain {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon from [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]; a Pokémon is being newly deposited if it does not have a HOME tracker value already. This tracker value is stored with the Pokémon and cannot be changed.

From v2.0.0 onwards, the tracker value is also used to keep track of a Pokémon's game-specific data. Each Pokémon has up to five sets of data depending on which games it has been in: {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. Pokémon from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon GO]], and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] use the same set of data as Sword and Shield as a default. Most Pokémon obtained from gifts within Pokémon HOME itself also default to Sword and Shield, though some default to other games. Data that is not transferred between games is stored in the server, such as:
* A Pokémon's [[move]]sets (including changes to [[PP]] from [[PP Up]]s and [[PP Max]]es), as well as, from v3.0.0 onwards, its {{Abilities}}.
* Met location (and, if applicable, {{pkmn|Egg}} hatch location), included only in the Pokémon's original data set.
* [[Gigantamax]] Factor, [[TR]] flags, and {{DL|Pokémon Camp|sociability}}, included only in the Pokémon's Sword and Shield data set.
* [[Effort level]]s, [[Zisu]]'s [[Training grounds#Move Tutor|Move Tutor]] moves, and [[move mastery]] status, included only in the Pokémon's Legends: Arceus data set.
* [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera Type]], included only in the Pokémon's Scarlet and Violet data set.
* [[Plus Move]] status and size classification, included only in the Pokémon's Legends: Z-A data set.
* {{pkmn2|Alpha}} status, included only in the Pokémon's Legends: Arceus and Legends: Z-A data sets.

For example, the alpha Pokémon flag is not stored in the Pokémon data of games other than Pokémon Legends: Arceus. If a Pokémon from Legends: Arceus is transferred to another game and back, it keeps its alpha flag due to HOME associating the flag with that Pokémon's HOME tracker value, with the flag being retained in its Legends: Arceus set of data. The Pokémon will also retain its alpha flag if transferred into Legends: Z-A due to Legends: Z-A also keeping track of the flag.

Pokémon transferred from Bank, GO, or Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, as well as most Pokémon from gifts in HOME, retain their original moves (or, in the case of Pokémon from GO, their moves as determined by [[GO Transporter]]) when transferred to Pokémon Sword and Shield; this is treated as the Sword and Shield moveset for that Pokémon. When a Pokémon is transferred to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Legends: Arceus, Scarlet and Violet, or Legends: Z-A for the first time, or when a Pokémon from any of those games other than Legends: Z-A (or a gift in HOME corresponding to any of those games) is transferred to Sword and Shield for the first time, a new moveset is generated for that game's data set, using the four most recent level-up moves of that species in that game. A Pokémon's potential new moveset can be seen while transferring it, but it is not saved until the transfer is complete.

If a {{p|Rotom}} is being transferred with a saved moveset for a particular game that includes the special move for one of its appliance forms, and it later returns to that game in a different form, its saved moveset for that game will be updated to have the move for its new form instead. It will not have the opportunity to retain the special move associated with its previous form.

From v3.0.0 onwards, Abilities are stored in game-specific data. A Pokémon's Legends: Arceus data set does not display an Ability, though it has one that is stored internally, while Pokémon from Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! do not have an Ability until being transferred into another game. From v3.0.0 to v3.1.0, due to a bug, any changes to a Pokémon's Ability using an [[Ability Capsule]] or [[Ability Patch]] in one game would not affect its Ability in other games it already had data for; starting in v3.1.0, any Pokémon affected by this bug that is deposited into HOME is fixed by having the Ability from its most recent game assigned to all of its applicable sets of data.

The set of data displayed when a Pokémon's [[summary]] is viewed in HOME varies. In the Nintendo Switch version prior to v3.0.0, only the Sword and Shield set of data would be displayed for all Pokémon, unless the application was currently connected to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus, in which case the data sets would match this; Pokémon not compatible with any [[Generation VIII]] game would display no [[stat]]s or [[move]]s from v2.0.0 to v3.0.0. Starting in v3.0.0, if Pokémon HOME is currently connected to a game, Pokémon compatible with that game will display the corresponding data set, while others will display the set of the game that they were in most recently; if HOME is not currently connected to a game, the default data set for all Pokémon will be that of the game they were in most recently, but if a Pokémon has multiple sets, they can be switched between using the "Change View" option. The type of [[Poké Ball]] shown will change depending on which set of data is being displayed, though the [[origin mark]] will always be correct. In the mobile version prior to v3.0.0, the set of data displayed for a Pokémon would be that of the game it was in most recently; starting in v3.0.0, the default data set shown matches its most recent game, but other data sets can also be viewed. Both the type of Poké Ball shown and the origin mark will always be correct, as well as the met location.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372709736596-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-Sheen-or-condition-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372695365652-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-effort-levels-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526950194373226497</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6425814626580-Why-can-t-I-see-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-s-moves-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526917289500585984</ref>

===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 Trade]]s and [[Surprise Trade]]s, 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.
* '''[[Global Trade System|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. There is a limit of 10 trades per day, regardless of whether the Basic Plan or Premium Plan is being used.

At least some [[event Pokémon]] appear to be impossible to trade for about a week to a few weeks after their initial release. This restriction applies separately to even different language versions of the same event Pokémon if they are released at different times.<ref>https://reddit.com/r/PokemonHome/comments/k0iagj/is_zarude_trade_locked_again/</ref><ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/a-fools-errand-completing-pokemon-home-without-paying-a-penny-complete.3673315/page-3</ref>

===Pokédex===
{{main|Pokédex (HOME)}}
Pokémon HOME features a [[National Pokédex]] that records information on Pokémon that have been deposited in the Boxes in Pokémon HOME. The mobile version of Pokémon HOME has a section of the Pokédex where [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} are listed and can be registered.

Starting in the v2.0.0 update, the mobile version of Pokémon HOME also features regional Pokédexes for each of the Nintendo Switch core series games and [[Pokémon GO]], which can only be filled with Pokémon [[Game of origin|originating]] from the game in question.

===Mystery Gifts===

{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII}}
{{main|List of other event distributions in Generation VIII#Shiny Zeraora Armorite Ore|List of other event distributions in Generation VIII}}
{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation IX}}
Gifts can be received using the mobile app's [[Mystery Gift]] feature. Pokémon received in this way are placed directly into the storage in Pokémon HOME. The feature can also generate [[serial code]]s for item distributions in a [[Nintendo Switch]] game.

When first starting Pokémon HOME, the player will already have a {{p|Pikachu}} in their storage. When first starting the mobile version in particular (regardless of whether the Nintendo Switch version has been used yet), [[Grand Oak]] will give the player a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, each of which have their [[Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities]]. Various other Pokémon may also be received from the Gift Box in the mobile version for completing certain tasks. Pokémon obtained from gifts in HOME use "Pokémon HOME" as their met location rather than any specific [[region]]; despite this, the majority of them use [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]] as their [[game of origin]], with some using other Nintendo Switch core series games.

===Achievements===
In the mobile version, the player can complete {{OBP|Challenges|HOME}} to unlock stickers.

In the Nintendo Switch version, the player can complete {{OBP|Research Task|HOME}}s.

===Medals===
Starting in the v3.3.0 update, players can obtain digital souvenirs called {{OBP|medal|HOME}}s by going to certain real-life Pokémon-related locations or participating in events.

===Points===
Pokémon HOME Points serve as a currency of sorts, replacing [[Poké Mile]]s from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Every midnight UTC, the player gains a Pokémon HOME Point for every 31 stored Pokémon (rounded down). This calculation includes any inaccessible Pokémon the player may have in HOME as a result of a downgrade to the free plan. An account can accumulate a maximum of 99,999 Points at once.

Pokémon HOME Points can be converted and transferred into compatible [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]] games in the Nintendo Switch version:
* 30 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 [[Battle Point]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* 20 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 Battle Point in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 1 [[Merit Point]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 10 [[League Point]]s in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

Pokémon HOME Points cannot be used in {{LGPE}} or [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

===Move Reminder===
The 3.0.0 update added [[Move Reminder]] functionality in the Nintendo Switch version. The moves that can be learned through this feature are the standard [[level]] up moves for the game in use, as well as any moves in other game movesets (including both current moves and moves flagged as re-learnable) that are legal for the game in use. For example, a {{p|Tauros}} that knows {{m|Take Down}} in its [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] moveset can be taught Take Down in its [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] moveset using this feature, as Tauros can be taught Take Down in Scarlet and Violet via [[TM]]. However, a {{p|Moltres}} with {{m|Burn Up}} in its Pokémon Sword and Shield moveset cannot be taught Burn Up in its Pokémon Scarlet and Violet moveset, as Moltres cannot learn Burn Up in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet by any means.

This feature is the only way to access several otherwise [[Egg Move#Unobtainable Egg Moves|unobtainable Egg Moves]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

===Pokémon Guidebook===
The Pokémon Guidebook is a feature added to the mobile version of Pokémon HOME in the version 3.2.2 update. Similar to the Pokédex, it is a list of all Pokémon with entries for each one. However, the entries for all Pokémon are available from the start without requiring the player to register them first. Unlike the Pokédex, the Pokémon Guidebook shows the official artwork for each Pokémon rather than their HOME renders, does not list {{Abilities}} and [[base stats]], and lacks some of the Pokédex's features, such as viewing models, viewing {{Shiny}} forms, height comparison, and [[foreign Pokédex entry|foreign Pokédex entries]]. It also lacks the ability to view Pokédex entries from different games; instead, each Pokémon only has one entry shown, which is [[Pokédex entry recycling|reused]] from a core series game. Tapping the Pokémon's artwork in its entry causes its [[cry]] to play.

The entries in the Pokémon Guidebook also have three sections not present in the Pokédex: "Forms" (which shows or describes any alternate forms the Pokémon has), "Appears In" (which lists the Nintendo Switch core series games that the Pokémon can be obtained in, not counting {{pkmn2|event}}s or [[save data bonus]]es), and "Related Videos" (which, for certain Pokémon, lists one or more official [[YouTube]] videos they appear in). The list of Pokémon can be filtered to only show Pokémon with a certain name, [[type]](s), form (i.e. [[Mega Evolution]]s, [[Gigantamax]] forms, [[Alolan form]]s, [[Galarian form]]s, [[Hisuian form]]s, or [[Paldean form]]s), Nintendo Switch core series game they are obtainable in, and that have or do not have videos featured in their entries.

The "Related Videos" section of the entries has been updated over time, with videos being added and removed for various Pokémon. The same video can appear in the entries for multiple Pokémon.

Some alternate forms of Pokémon have their own separate entries. The "Forms" section of an entry shows images of that Pokémon's forms, which each link to that form's entry. [[Regional form]]s (and Bloodmoon {{p|Ursaluna}}) are also included separately in the main list of Pokémon, while other forms' entries are only accessible from the "Forms" sections. Certain forms (mainly those without official artwork) do not have their own entries and are instead described in text in the "Forms" section.

The following Pokémon have separate entries for each of their forms:
<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show list"data-collapsetext="Hide list">

Additionally, all [[Gigantamax]] forms, [[Mega Evolution]]s, and [[regional form]]s (including all three breeds of {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}) have separate entries.

The following Pokémon have alternate forms that do not have their own entries, instead being described in text in the entry for the Pokémon:
<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show list"data-collapsetext="Hide list">
*{{p|Unown}}
*{{p|Castform}}

Prior to the version 4.0.0 update, Magearna's Original Color form did not have its own entry and was described in text in Magearna's entry instead.

[[Pikachu in a cap]], {{p|Genesect}}'s [[drive]] forms, [[Greninja (Pokémon)|Ash-Greninja]], [[Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}, [[Zarude (Pokémon)|Dada Zarude]], and {{p|Terapagos}}'s Stellar Form are not acknowledged at all by the Pokémon Guidebook, despite being considered different forms in the Pokédex. However, all forms that do have entries use the same names as they do in the Pokédex, meaning Genesect has the name of its form shown despite not having any other forms listed (a trait shared with {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}). [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|Gender differences]] are also not acknowledged, except for those of Unfezant, Frillish, Jellicent, Pyroar, Meowstic, Indeedee, Basculegion, and Oinkologne.

The "Appears In" section of the Pokémon Guidebook contains several errors:
*[[Gigantamax]] {{p|Machamp}} is listed as only appearing in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]], while Gigantamax {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Lapras}} are listed as only appearing in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]]. Although these Pokémon can only be encountered in the wild with the Gigantamax Factor in those versions (outside of [[Wild Area News]]), they can gain the Gigantamax Factor in either version by using [[Max Soup]]. However, Gigantamax {{p|Coalossal}} is correctly listed as appearing in both Sword and Shield, despite only appearing in the wild in Sword like Gigantamax Machamp.
*{{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, and {{p|Mudkip}} are not listed as appearing in Pokémon Sword and Shield, despite the fact they can be obtained in those games by {{pkmn|breeding}} their evolved forms.
*The West Sea forms of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} are listed as appearing in Pokémon Sword and Shield, despite the fact they cannot be obtained in those games without [[transfer]]ring them from another game.
*{{p|Solgaleo}} and Dusk Mane {{p|Necrozma}} are listed as appearing in both Pokémon Sword and Shield, despite being [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive]] to Sword.
*{{p|Lunala}}, Dawn Wings {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{p|Cursola}} are listed as appearing in both Pokémon Sword and Shield, despite being exclusive to Shield.

===Profile===
The Profile feature in the mobile version allows players to customize their Binder using stickers obtained by completing {{OBP|challenges|HOME}}, change their user icon or name, as well as view their Records, Notebook, and Pokédex Progress.

Upon creating an account, the player chooses one of 19 different icons, which consist of the 2D overworld sprites of the [[player character|protagonists]] from the first five generations of the core series games. There were originally only eight icons, with sprites from upper versions and remakes being added in version 1.4.0. The icon chosen is used to represent the player for [[trade]]s and {{OBP|medal|HOME}}s. The [[gender]] of the icon the player chooses is stored with the [[Original Trainer]] of any Pokémon received as gifts in Pokémon HOME. If a medal was owned by a user who later deleted their account, their icon will be displayed as a grayed-out version of the first icon.

==Trivia==
* All of the Pokémon appear in Pokémon HOME posed in the same position as their official art, with Pokémon from the [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} taking on their poses from their redesigned art from Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} respectively.
** Furthermore, [[Shiny Pokémon]] appear as Shiny, instead of their usual colorations, and [[gender differences]] are visible.
** In the Nintendo Switch version, these static renders are used on the [[summary]] screen. On the mobile version, full 3D models are used instead, though the renders are still used as menu sprites like in the Switch version. As a result, the location of {{p|Spinda}}'s spots is only visible in the mobile version, as Spinda's render does not change to match its spots.
** In the Nintendo Switch version, some of these renders were improved in version 1.2.<ref>https://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo_switch/pokemonhome/</ref>
* 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.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_HOME_(iOS,_Android) TCRF - Pokémon HOME (iOS / Android) unused content]</ref>
* The Nintendo Switch and mobile versions cannot be used at the same time with the same account.
* Prior to version 1.1, Friend Trades were restricted to local trades only and could only be performed three times per day, and Wonder Box trades took six hours to complete. To celebrate the release of version 1.1, which released during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] limiting in-person gatherings, the local trade restriction was lifted, the daily Friend Trade limit increased to 10, and the Wonder Box duration decreased to one hour. All of these changes were initially intended to be temporary,<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2020/05/200522_gm02.html スマートフォン版『Pokémon HOME』アップデートのお知らせ｜ポケットモンスターオフィシャルサイト]</ref> but they were never reverted.
* The [[regional Pokédex]] for [[Pokémon GO]] that was added to the mobile version in v2.0.0 contains every Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] (except for [[Mythical Pokémon]]), which includes Pokémon that have not been released in Pokémon GO, as well as [[GO Transporter#Restrictions|certain Pokémon that cannot be transferred from Pokémon GO]] such as {{p|Spinda}}, thus making it impossible to complete this Pokédex.
* Each HOME account generates its own [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and [[Trainer ID number#Secret ID|secret ID]], which is assigned to some Pokémon received from [[Mystery Gift]]s in HOME. To prevent these Pokémon with a [[personality value]] of <code>00000000</code> (hexadecimal) from being {{Shiny}}, rather than assigning a different personality value, HOME will never generate an account's ID numbers where the combination results in that personality value being calculated as Shiny.<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/issues/3007</ref>
* Prior to HOME's major v2.0.0 update, the servers went down for maintenance between 00:00 UTC and 06:00 UTC on May 18, 2022. Afterward, users were given staggered login times for 19 hours (until 01:00 UTC May 19, 2022) to reduce server load. However, newly created accounts after the maintenance were not staggered and could log in immediately.
* {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}, and {{p|Spinda}} are the only Pokémon that cannot be transferred out of Pokémon HOME into any [[Generation VIII]] or [[Generation IX|IX]] game.
** Spinda and {{p|Vivillon}}'s Poké Ball Pattern are the only Pokémon that cannot be obtained in Pokémon HOME without transferring them from [[Pokémon Bank]]. {{p|Gimmighoul}}'s Roaming Form is the only Pokémon that cannot be obtained in Pokémon HOME without transferring it from [[Pokémon GO]].
* Transferring a Pokémon with a [[List of censored words|censored word]] according to the Nintendo Switch system in its [[nickname]] from [[Pokémon Bank]] to Pokémon HOME does not erase the nickname, unlike when transferring Pokémon to Bank via [[Poké Transporter]].
* Despite [[core series]] games since {{g|Legends: Arceus}} having reverted {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}'s [[Cry|cries]] to the original electronic noises, Pokémon HOME has not been updated to reflect this change, with it still using the voiced cries for both.

'''Pokémon HOME''' (Japanese: '''Pokémon HOME''') is a cloud service for {{wp|iOS}}, {{wp|iPadOS}}, {{wp|Android (operating system)|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.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zone differences, the app was released on February 11, 2020 in the Americas, even though it was released at the same time as the rest of the world.</ref>

It was announced at the [[Pokémon Presents#May 29, 2019|Pokémon 2019 Press Conference]] on May 29, 2019.

Pokémon HOME is managed by Pokémon researcher [[Grand Oak]], whose goal is to create a [[Pokédex]] that includes every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}.

Pokémon HOME is usable in ten languages: Japanese, English, German, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Latin American Spanish was added in the version 4.0.0 update on April 2, 2026.

==Features==
===Pokémon transfer===
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way [[transfer]] to and from all Switch [[core series]] games. Both the mobile and Switch versions allow one-way transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] (only with a Premium Plan) and [[Pokémon GO]].

====Compatibility with Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
Only Pokémon originally from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can be moved into Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and if such a Pokémon is transferred into a future game or is sent to visit {{g|Champions}}, it can no longer be moved back to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

Pokémon that arrive in HOME via transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] are automatically converted to the same format used by {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and therefore cannot enter Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

====Compatibility with Generation VIII====
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way transfer to and from all [[Generation VIII]] games, beginning with {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] that are compatible with Sword and Shield can be transferred to and from Sword and Shield freely and retain their movesets.

In version 2.0.0, HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. The set of data used for a Pokémon differs between Sword and Shield, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus, so a Pokémon's moves will be different for each game. If a Pokémon is transferred from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus to Sword and Shield, its [[origin mark]] will be replaced with the Galar symbol and its met location will be shown as a "[[faraway place]]", though its actual origin mark will be restored if it is moved back into HOME. Additionally, because Legends: Arceus uses different [[Poké Ball]]s to the other games, Pokémon originally from Legends: Arceus will appear in a [[Strange Ball]] in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}}, and {{pkmn|Legends: Z-A}}, or a standard {{i|Poké Ball}} in Sword and Shield, while Pokémon not originally from Legends: Arceus will appear in a Strange Ball in Legends: Arceus (though the original Poké Ball of the Pokémon will be regained if it is moved back into HOME).

====Compatibility with Generation IX====
Pokémon HOME gained compatibility with {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} on May 30, 2023 as part of version 3.0.0, allowing Pokémon to be moved freely between Scarlet and Violet and all core series Generation VIII games.

On May 18, 2023, [[The Pokémon Company International]] announced that Pokémon HOME support with the games would release on May 24, 2023 at 01:00 UTC, but on May 19, the company announced it was a mistake and said that the actual release date was yet to be announced. No such announcement was made in Japanese by [[The Pokémon Company]], and unlike the later date, the earlier date did not appear in a notice inside the HOME app itself.

In an apparent translation error, the Spanish version of the notice stated that staggered logins would take place from May 30, 2023 06:00 UTC to May 25, 2023 06:00 UTC, instead of the latter date being May 31, 2023 06:00 UTC.<ref>https://twitter.com/MelkorPxP/status/1661886523539697664</ref>

Pokémon HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] on April 2, 2026 as part of version 4.0.0. Pokémon transferred into Legends: Z-A cannot be transferred back to previous games, nor can Pokémon obtained in Legends: Z-A be transferred back to previous games.<ref>https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/pokemon-home</ref>

====Compatibility with Pokémon GO====
{{main|GO Transporter}}
One-way transfers from [[Pokémon GO]] to HOME were made available on November 11, 2020.<ref group="note" name="releasego">Due to time zone differences, GO Transporter was released on November 10, 2020 in the Americas.</ref> Upon the first transfer, the player will also receive a {{p|Melmetal}} that can [[Gigantamax]] in Pokémon HOME.

Transfers from Pokémon GO are subject to their own different set of limitations, modifications, and microtransactions.

====Compatibility with Pokémon Champions====
Pokémon HOME will be able to connect to [[Pokémon Champions]] to use Pokémon from other titles in the game, though this is limited to Pokémon that appear in Pokémon Champions. Pokémon originally obtained in Pokémon Champions cannot be deposited in Pokémon HOME.
Data in HOME is used to determine the intital moveset, stat alignment and Stat Points of the Pokémon. Any changes in Champions are not reflected when the Pokémon is sent back to Home, and any subsequent changes in another game will not affect the data in Champions.

''For more details, see '''[[Pokémon Champions#Connectivity|Pokémon Champions→Connectivity]]'''.''

==== Compatibility with FireRed and LeafGreen ====
One-way transfers from the Nintendo Switch version of [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]] to HOME will be available in the future.

====Limitations====
* The Totem-sized Pokémon that can be in [[Pokémon Bank]] are reduced to their normal sizes when transferred to Pokémon HOME.
* Pokémon that cannot be [[trade]]d in-game also cannot be deposited, including the {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}}, and the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{p|Calyrex}}.
* Like in Pokémon Bank, [[held item]]s cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME; depositing a Pokémon holding an item into HOME causes that item to be returned to the [[Bag]] in the game the Pokémon was deposited from.
* {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon sent to Pokémon HOME via GO Transporter can only be withdrawn from that particular HOME account to a core series game if they have been registered to the Pokédex of that game or obtained at least once in that game. This restriction applies to individual forms; for example, a {{form|Deoxys|Speed Forme}} {{p|Deoxys}} cannot be withdrawn to a save file that has only seen the Normal, Attack, and Defense Formes of Deoxys.
* From v2.0.0 onward:
** [[Gigantamax]] Factor {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and (from v3.2.1 onward) {{p|Duraludon}} cannot be transferred to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, or {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. This is to prevent them from [[Evolution|evolving]] in games that do not recognize the Gigantamax Factor.
** {{p|Nincada}} [[Game of origin|originally from]] Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into any other game, and Nincada from outside of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into those games.
*** This is likely a redundant protection against several cloning glitches due to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's "PokeDupeChecker" having cases to exclude natural clones such as Ninjask/Shedinja, and Pokémon originating from other games from being flagged and subsequently restricted from trades and entering Pokémon HOME.<ref>https://twitter.com/Kaphotics/status/1495965127031816192</ref>
** {{p|Spinda}} cannot be transferred between Pokémon HOME and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. This is likely due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitches|glitch]] in the latter wherein the bytes of Spinda's [[encryption constant]] are read as a {{wp|Endianness|big-endian}} value rather than a little-endian value, which would cause Spinda's spot pattern to change on transfer if transfers were possible.
** In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] that can only be {{pkmn2|caught}} once per savefile (such as {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}) can only be (newly) deposited once per savefile. This acts as a preventative measure to mitigate the effects of various duplication glitches, such as the Dialga/Palkia rematch glitch.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuVzL1Wf6-I</ref>
*** This check is determined per savefile rather than by [[Original Trainer]]. This makes it possible to run into this restriction even with official event Pokémon or Pokémon traded from other save files of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl unless the player can trade one of the Pokémon to another game without going through HOME. This cannot be circumvented with multiple HOME accounts, as it will recognize the savefile regardless.
* If a Pokémon from {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} is Hyper Trained in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, it can't be sent back unless it reaches level 100.

===Pokémon storage===
On the free Basic Plan, up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited in one box named the "Basic Box". The Basic Box cannot be manually organized and will always sort Pokémon from most to least recently deposited/traded for (with most recent at the top left). Ties are broken by Pokédex order.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/orange-islands-sqsa-thread.3603112/page-63#post-9241707</ref>

On the Premium Plan, up to 6,000 Pokémon can be deposited in 200 boxes named "HOME 1" through "HOME 200", which can be freely organized as with core series PC boxes. When a Basic Plan is upgraded, all Pokémon in the Basic Box appear in HOME 1; however, the reverse is not true. When a Premium Plan ends, only the 30 Pokémon most recently deposited/traded for 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.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039615831-If-I-deposit-31-or-more-Pok%C3%A9mon-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-and-my-Premium-Plan-expires-what-will-happen-to-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref>

The Nintendo Switch version of HOME has access to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] within every save file from all accounts on the Switch. This means that as long as a save file exists, Pokémon HOME has access to all of the player's Pokémon (except those in the [[party]]), and can use the boxes for local storage, with no need to keep the cartridges or digital installations.

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.

The [[stats judge]] function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.

Pokémon do not display specific met locations while in the Nintendo Switch version of HOME, instead only displaying the region corresponding to their [[game of origin]]. As of v2.0.0, the mobile version will display both a region and a location name within that region, but for Pokémon transferred from the Virtual Console games through Poké Transporter, the latter will simply be a second copy of the region name, and for Pokémon transferred from [[Generation III]] or {{gen|IV}}, the latter location will be displayed as "Poké Shifter" (the transliterated Japanese name for [[Poké Transfer]]).

====Game-specific data and HOME tracker value====
{{Incomplete|section|Check whether contest conditions, sheen, Ribbons, and marks are included in game-specific data or not}}
Depositing any Pokémon into HOME for the first time will assign it a HOME tracker value, a 64-bit number unique to it that is used to detect [[Cloning glitches|clones]] and other [[Cheating|hacked]] Pokémon. For example, a Pokémon hacked to have a random tracker value can be detected as HOME will not remember having assigned this value in the past. The tracker value is also used for the restriction on newly depositing certain {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon from [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]; a Pokémon is being newly deposited if it does not have a HOME tracker value already. This tracker value is stored with the Pokémon and cannot be changed.

From v2.0.0 onwards, the tracker value is also used to keep track of a Pokémon's game-specific data. Each Pokémon has up to five sets of data depending on which games it has been in: {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. Pokémon from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon GO]], and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] use the same set of data as Sword and Shield as a default. Most Pokémon obtained from gifts within Pokémon HOME itself also default to Sword and Shield, though some default to other games. Data that is not transferred between games is stored in the server, such as:
* A Pokémon's [[move]]sets (including changes to [[PP]] from [[PP Up]]s and [[PP Max]]es), as well as, from v3.0.0 onwards, its {{Abilities}}.
* Met location (and, if applicable, {{pkmn|Egg}} hatch location), included only in the Pokémon's original data set.
* [[Gigantamax]] Factor, [[TR]] flags, and {{DL|Pokémon Camp|sociability}}, included only in the Pokémon's Sword and Shield data set.
* [[Effort level]]s, [[Zisu]]'s [[Training grounds#Move Tutor|Move Tutor]] moves, and [[move mastery]] status, included only in the Pokémon's Legends: Arceus data set.
* [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera Type]], included only in the Pokémon's Scarlet and Violet data set.
* [[Plus Move]] status and size classification, included only in the Pokémon's Legends: Z-A data set.
* {{pkmn2|Alpha}} status, included only in the Pokémon's Legends: Arceus and Legends: Z-A data sets.

For example, the alpha Pokémon flag is not stored in the Pokémon data of games other than Pokémon Legends: Arceus. If a Pokémon from Legends: Arceus is transferred to another game and back, it keeps its alpha flag due to HOME associating the flag with that Pokémon's HOME tracker value, with the flag being retained in its Legends: Arceus set of data. The Pokémon will also retain its alpha flag if transferred into Legends: Z-A due to Legends: Z-A also keeping track of the flag.

Pokémon transferred from Bank, GO, or Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, as well as most Pokémon from gifts in HOME, retain their original moves (or, in the case of Pokémon from GO, their moves as determined by [[GO Transporter]]) when transferred to Pokémon Sword and Shield; this is treated as the Sword and Shield moveset for that Pokémon. When a Pokémon is transferred to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Legends: Arceus, Scarlet and Violet, or Legends: Z-A for the first time, or when a Pokémon from any of those games other than Legends: Z-A (or a gift in HOME corresponding to any of those games) is transferred to Sword and Shield for the first time, a new moveset is generated for that game's data set, using the four most recent level-up moves of that species in that game. A Pokémon's potential new moveset can be seen while transferring it, but it is not saved until the transfer is complete.

If a {{p|Rotom}} is being transferred with a saved moveset for a particular game that includes the special move for one of its appliance forms, and it later returns to that game in a different form, its saved moveset for that game will be updated to have the move for its new form instead. It will not have the opportunity to retain the special move associated with its previous form.

From v3.0.0 onwards, Abilities are stored in game-specific data. A Pokémon's Legends: Arceus data set does not display an Ability, though it has one that is stored internally, while Pokémon from Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! do not have an Ability until being transferred into another game. From v3.0.0 to v3.1.0, due to a bug, any changes to a Pokémon's Ability using an [[Ability Capsule]] or [[Ability Patch]] in one game would not affect its Ability in other games it already had data for; starting in v3.1.0, any Pokémon affected by this bug that is deposited into HOME is fixed by having the Ability from its most recent game assigned to all of its applicable sets of data.

The set of data displayed when a Pokémon's [[summary]] is viewed in HOME varies. In the Nintendo Switch version prior to v3.0.0, only the Sword and Shield set of data would be displayed for all Pokémon, unless the application was currently connected to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus, in which case the data sets would match this; Pokémon not compatible with any [[Generation VIII]] game would display no [[stat]]s or [[move]]s from v2.0.0 to v3.0.0. Starting in v3.0.0, if Pokémon HOME is currently connected to a game, Pokémon compatible with that game will display the corresponding data set, while others will display the set of the game that they were in most recently; if HOME is not currently connected to a game, the default data set for all Pokémon will be that of the game they were in most recently, but if a Pokémon has multiple sets, they can be switched between using the "Change View" option. The type of [[Poké Ball]] shown will change depending on which set of data is being displayed, though the [[origin mark]] will always be correct. In the mobile version prior to v3.0.0, the set of data displayed for a Pokémon would be that of the game it was in most recently; starting in v3.0.0, the default data set shown matches its most recent game, but other data sets can also be viewed. Both the type of Poké Ball shown and the origin mark will always be correct, as well as the met location.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372709736596-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-Sheen-or-condition-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372695365652-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-effort-levels-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526950194373226497</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6425814626580-Why-can-t-I-see-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-s-moves-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526917289500585984</ref>

===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 Trade]]s and [[Surprise Trade]]s, 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.
* '''[[Global Trade System|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. There is a limit of 10 trades per day, regardless of whether the Basic Plan or Premium Plan is being used.

At least some [[event Pokémon]] appear to be impossible to trade for about a week to a few weeks after their initial release. This restriction applies separately to even different language versions of the same event Pokémon if they are released at different times.<ref>https://reddit.com/r/PokemonHome/comments/k0iagj/is_zarude_trade_locked_again/</ref><ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/a-fools-errand-completing-pokemon-home-without-paying-a-penny-complete.3673315/page-3</ref>

===Pokédex===
{{main|Pokédex (HOME)}}
Pokémon HOME features a [[National Pokédex]] that records information on Pokémon that have been deposited in the Boxes in Pokémon HOME. The mobile version of Pokémon HOME has a section of the Pokédex where [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} are listed and can be registered.

Starting in the v2.0.0 update, the mobile version of Pokémon HOME also features regional Pokédexes for each of the Nintendo Switch core series games and [[Pokémon GO]], which can only be filled with Pokémon [[Game of origin|originating]] from the game in question.

===Mystery Gifts===
{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VII}}
{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII}}
{{main|List of other event distributions in Generation VIII#Shiny Zeraora Armorite Ore|List of other event distributions in Generation VIII}}
{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation IX}}
Gifts can be received using the mobile app's [[Mystery Gift]] feature. Pokémon received in this way are placed directly into the storage in Pokémon HOME. The feature can also generate [[serial code]]s for item distributions in a [[Nintendo Switch]] game.

When first starting Pokémon HOME, the player will already have a {{p|Pikachu}} in their storage. When first starting the mobile version in particular (regardless of whether the Nintendo Switch version has been used yet), [[Grand Oak]] will give the player a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, each of which have their [[Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities]]. Various other Pokémon may also be received from the Gift Box in the mobile version for completing certain tasks. Pokémon obtained from gifts in HOME use "Pokémon HOME" as their met location rather than any specific [[region]]; despite this, the majority of them use [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]] as their [[game of origin]], with some using other Nintendo Switch core series games.

===Achievements===
In the mobile version, the player can complete {{OBP|Challenges|HOME}} to unlock stickers.

In the Nintendo Switch version, the player can complete {{OBP|Research Task|HOME}}s.

===Medals===
Starting in the v3.3.0 update, players can obtain digital souvenirs called {{OBP|medal|HOME}}s by going to certain real-life Pokémon-related locations or participating in events.

===Points===
Pokémon HOME Points serve as a currency of sorts, replacing [[Poké Mile]]s from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Every midnight UTC, the player gains a Pokémon HOME Point for every 31 stored Pokémon (rounded down). This calculation includes any inaccessible Pokémon the player may have in HOME as a result of a downgrade to the free plan. An account can accumulate a maximum of 99,999 Points at once.

Pokémon HOME Points can be converted and transferred into compatible [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]] games in the Nintendo Switch version:
* 30 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 [[Battle Point]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* 20 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 Battle Point in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 1 [[Merit Point]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 10 [[League Point]]s in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

Pokémon HOME Points cannot be used in {{LGPE}} or [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

===Move Reminder===
The 3.0.0 update added [[Move Reminder]] functionality in the Nintendo Switch version. The moves that can be learned through this feature are the standard [[level]] up moves for the game in use, as well as any moves in other game movesets (including both current moves and moves flagged as re-learnable) that are legal for the game in use. For example, a {{p|Tauros}} that knows {{m|Take Down}} in its [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] moveset can be taught Take Down in its [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] moveset using this feature, as Tauros can be taught Take Down in Scarlet and Violet via [[TM]]. However, a {{p|Moltres}} with {{m|Burn Up}} in its Pokémon Sword and Shield moveset cannot be taught Burn Up in its Pokémon Scarlet and Violet moveset, as Moltres cannot learn Burn Up in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet by any means.

This feature is the only way to access several otherwise [[Egg Move#Unobtainable Egg Moves|unobtainable Egg Moves]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

===Pokémon Guidebook===
The Pokémon Guidebook is a feature added to the mobile version of Pokémon HOME in the version 3.2.2 update. Similar to the Pokédex, it is a list of all Pokémon with entries for each one. However, the entries for all Pokémon are available from the start without requiring the player to register them first. Unlike the Pokédex, the Pokémon Guidebook shows the official artwork for each Pokémon rather than their HOME renders, does not list {{Abilities}} and [[base stats]], and lacks some of the Pokédex's features, such as viewing models, viewing {{Shiny}} forms, height comparison, and [[foreign Pokédex entry|foreign Pokédex entries]]. It also lacks the ability to view Pokédex entries from different games; instead, each Pokémon only has one entry shown, which is [[Pokédex entry recycling|reused]] from a core series game. Tapping the Pokémon's artwork in its entry causes its [[cry]] to play.

The entries in the Pokémon Guidebook also have three sections not present in the Pokédex: "Forms" (which shows or describes any alternate forms the Pokémon has), "Appears In" (which lists the Nintendo Switch core series games that the Pokémon can be obtained in, not counting {{pkmn2|event}}s or [[save data bonus]]es), and "Related Videos" (which, for certain Pokémon, lists one or more official [[YouTube]] videos they appear in). The list of Pokémon can be filtered to only show Pokémon with a certain name, [[type]](s), form (i.e. [[Mega Evolution]]s, [[Gigantamax]] forms, [[Alolan form]]s, [[Galarian form]]s, [[Hisuian form]]s, or [[Paldean form]]s), Nintendo Switch core series game they are obtainable in, and that have or do not have videos featured in their entries.

The "Related Videos" section of the entries has been updated over time, with videos being added and removed for various Pokémon. The same video can appear in the entries for multiple Pokémon.

Some alternate forms of Pokémon have their own separate entries. The "Forms" section of an entry shows images of that Pokémon's forms, which each link to that form's entry. [[Regional form]]s (and Bloodmoon {{p|Ursaluna}}) are also included separately in the main list of Pokémon, while other forms' entries are only accessible from the "Forms" sections. Certain forms (mainly those without official artwork) do not have their own entries and are instead described in text in the "Forms" section.

The following Pokémon have separate entries for each of their forms:
<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show list"data-collapsetext="Hide list">
*{{p|Kyogre}}
*{{p|Groudon}}
*{{p|Deoxys}}

</div>
 
Additionally, all [[Gigantamax]] forms, [[Mega Evolution]]s, and [[regional form]]s (including all three breeds of {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}) have separate entries.

The following Pokémon have alternate forms that do not have their own entries, instead being described in text in the entry for the Pokémon:
<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show list"data-collapsetext="Hide list">
*{{p|Unown}}
*{{p|Castform}}
*{{p|Arceus}}

*{{p|Maushold}}
*{{p|Squawkabilly}}
*{{me|Tatsugiri}} (Curly Form and Droopy Form)
*{{p|Dudunsparce}}
</div>
 
Prior to the version 4.0.0 update, Magearna's Original Color form did not have its own entry and was described in text in Magearna's entry instead.

[[Pikachu in a cap]], {{p|Genesect}}'s [[drive]] forms, [[Greninja (Pokémon)|Ash-Greninja]], [[Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}, [[Zarude (Pokémon)|Dada Zarude]], and {{p|Terapagos}}'s Stellar Form are not acknowledged at all by the Pokémon Guidebook, despite being considered different forms in the Pokédex. However, all forms that do have entries use the same names as they do in the Pokédex, meaning Genesect has the name of its form shown despite not having any other forms listed (a trait shared with {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}). [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|Gender differences]] are also not acknowledged, except for those of Unfezant, Frillish, Jellicent, Pyroar, Meowstic, Indeedee, Basculegion, and Oinkologne.

The "Appears In" section of the Pokémon Guidebook contains several errors:
*[[Gigantamax]] {{p|Machamp}} is listed as only appearing in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]], while Gigantamax {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Lapras}} are listed as only appearing in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]]. Although these Pokémon can only be encountered in the wild with the Gigantamax Factor in those versions (outside of [[Wild Area News]]), they can gain the Gigantamax Factor in either version by using [[Max Soup]]. However, Gigantamax {{p|Coalossal}} is correctly listed as appearing in both Sword and Shield, despite only appearing in the wild in Sword like Gigantamax Machamp.
*{{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, and {{p|Mudkip}} are not listed as appearing in Pokémon Sword and Shield, despite the fact they can be obtained in those games by {{pkmn|breeding}} their evolved forms.
*The West Sea forms of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} are listed as appearing in Pokémon Sword and Shield, despite the fact they cannot be obtained in those games without [[transfer]]ring them from another game.
*{{p|Solgaleo}} and Dusk Mane {{p|Necrozma}} are listed as appearing in both Pokémon Sword and Shield, despite being [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive]] to Sword.
*{{p|Lunala}}, Dawn Wings {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{p|Cursola}} are listed as appearing in both Pokémon Sword and Shield, despite being exclusive to Shield.

===Profile===
The Profile feature in the mobile version allows players to customize their Binder using stickers obtained by completing {{OBP|challenges|HOME}}, change their user icon or name, as well as view their Records, Notebook, and Pokédex Progress.

Upon creating an account, the player chooses one of 19 different icons, which consist of the 2D overworld sprites of the [[player character|protagonists]] from the first five generations of the core series games. There were originally only eight icons, with sprites from upper versions and remakes being added in version 1.4.0. The icon chosen is used to represent the player for [[trade]]s and {{OBP|medal|HOME}}s. The [[gender]] of the icon the player chooses is stored with the [[Original Trainer]] of any Pokémon received as gifts in Pokémon HOME. If a medal was owned by a user who later deleted their account, their icon will be displayed as a grayed-out version of the first icon.

==Trivia==
* All of the Pokémon appear in Pokémon HOME posed in the same position as their official art, with Pokémon from the [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} taking on their poses from their redesigned art from Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} respectively.
** Furthermore, [[Shiny Pokémon]] appear as Shiny, instead of their usual colorations, and [[gender differences]] are visible.
** In the Nintendo Switch version, these static renders are used on the [[summary]] screen. On the mobile version, full 3D models are used instead, though the renders are still used as menu sprites like in the Switch version. As a result, the location of {{p|Spinda}}'s spots is only visible in the mobile version, as Spinda's render does not change to match its spots.
** In the Nintendo Switch version, some of these renders were improved in version 1.2.<ref>https://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo_switch/pokemonhome/</ref>
* 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.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_HOME_(iOS,_Android) TCRF - Pokémon HOME (iOS / Android) unused content]</ref>
* The Nintendo Switch and mobile versions cannot be used at the same time with the same account.
* Prior to version 1.1, Friend Trades were restricted to local trades only and could only be performed three times per day, and Wonder Box trades took six hours to complete. To celebrate the release of version 1.1, which released during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] limiting in-person gatherings, the local trade restriction was lifted, the daily Friend Trade limit increased to 10, and the Wonder Box duration decreased to one hour. All of these changes were initially intended to be temporary,<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2020/05/200522_gm02.html スマートフォン版『Pokémon HOME』アップデートのお知らせ｜ポケットモンスターオフィシャルサイト]</ref> but they were never reverted.
* The [[regional Pokédex]] for [[Pokémon GO]] that was added to the mobile version in v2.0.0 contains every Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] (except for [[Mythical Pokémon]]), which includes Pokémon that have not been released in Pokémon GO, as well as [[GO Transporter#Restrictions|certain Pokémon that cannot be transferred from Pokémon GO]] such as {{p|Spinda}}, thus making it impossible to complete this Pokédex.
* Each HOME account generates its own [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and [[Trainer ID number#Secret ID|secret ID]], which is assigned to some Pokémon received from [[Mystery Gift]]s in HOME. To prevent these Pokémon with a [[personality value]] of <code>00000000</code> (hexadecimal) from being {{Shiny}}, rather than assigning a different personality value, HOME will never generate an account's ID numbers where the combination results in that personality value being calculated as Shiny.<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/issues/3007</ref>
* Prior to HOME's major v2.0.0 update, the servers went down for maintenance between 00:00 UTC and 06:00 UTC on May 18, 2022. Afterward, users were given staggered login times for 19 hours (until 01:00 UTC May 19, 2022) to reduce server load. However, newly created accounts after the maintenance were not staggered and could log in immediately.
* {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}, and {{p|Spinda}} are the only Pokémon that cannot be transferred out of Pokémon HOME into any [[Generation VIII]] or [[Generation IX|IX]] game.
** Spinda and {{p|Vivillon}}'s Poké Ball Pattern are the only Pokémon that cannot be obtained in Pokémon HOME without transferring them from [[Pokémon Bank]]. {{p|Gimmighoul}}'s Roaming Form is the only Pokémon that cannot be obtained in Pokémon HOME without transferring it from [[Pokémon GO]].
* Transferring a Pokémon with a [[List of censored words|censored word]] according to the Nintendo Switch system in its [[nickname]] from [[Pokémon Bank]] to Pokémon HOME does not erase the nickname, unlike when transferring Pokémon to Bank via [[Poké Transporter]].
* Despite [[core series]] games since {{g|Legends: Arceus}} having reverted {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}'s [[Cry|cries]] to the original electronic noises, Pokémon HOME has not been updated to reflect this change, with it still using the voiced cries for both.

Artwork of this item and the Pokémon Champions website suggest that other techniques, such as [[Z-Move]]s, [[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]], and {{Tera}}stallization, will also be supported in the future.<ref>[https://champions.pokemon.com/en-us/ Pokémon Champions | The Omni Ring—A Battle Essential!] "Other special features may be added to the Omni Ring in the future! Research is being conducted to make the Omni Ring capable of drawing out a variety of Pokémon capabilities."</ref>
*New Abilities are introduced for some of the Mega Evolutions introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}: {{a|Dragonize}}, {{a|Mega Sol}}, {{a|Piercing Drill}}, and {{a|Spicy Spray}}.
*Only a select pool of Pokémon, moves, and held items was made available at the release.

===Changes from Scarlet and Violet and Generation VIII=== 
*Moves that the target Pokémon is doubly weak to or doubly resists are now listed as "extremely effective" and "mostly ineffective", respectively, and have their own icons for such as well, rather than being grouped with regular weakness and resistance.
*[[Level]] is not displayed, with Pokémon stats being calculated as it they were level 50.
*[[Individual values]] cannot be modified in-game,<ref>https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-champions-will-take-a-key-stat-out-of-its-battle-equation/1100-6538998/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f</ref> with the Pokémon stats being calculated as if they had 31 IVs in all stats.
*[[Effort value]]s are carried over into the new [[Stat Point]]s system, although it is possible to give increase stats by one more point than the effort values allow in certain circumstances. 
*Items triggering now causes a pop-up banner to show up, like with Abilities, with the item's sprite instead of the Pokemon.
*{{a|Intimidate}} now resolves its effect on both opposing Pokémon at once, rather than one by one.
*Effects that affect multiple stats at once (such as {{m|Parting Shot}}) now only display one message, rather than one for each stat that was modified.
*Several status conditions were made weaker:
**Pokémon now have a 25% chance to naturally thaw out instead of 20%, and will always thaw out after three turns.
**Paralysis now has only 1 in 8 chance to prevent affected Pokémon from acting, rather than 1 in 4.
**Sleep now lasts 2-3 turns instead of 2-4, with a 2/3 chance to last three turns and a 1/3 chance to last two turns.
*{{a|Unseen Fist}} now deals only 25% damage on protecting targets instead of 100%.
*Several moves were modified:
**{{m|Apple Acid}}, {{m|First Impression}}, and {{m|Grav Apple}} have their base power increased by 10 each, from 80 to 90, 90 to 100, and 80 to 90, respectively.
**{{m|Bone Rush}}'s base power was increased from 25 to 30.
**{{m|Crabhammer}} and {{m|Syrup Bomb}} had their accuracy increased by 5, from 90% to 95% and 85% to 90%, respectively.
**{{m|Dire Claw}}'s secondary effect chance was lowered from 50% to 30%. It is also now considered a [[slicing move]].
**{{m|Fake Out}} can no longer be used after the turn the user switches into the battle; if the user is forced to use it when ineligible via effects such as {{m|Encore}}, it will instead use {{m|Struggle}}.
**{{m|Dragon Claw}} and {{m|Shadow Claw}} are now considered to be slicing moves.
**{{m|Iron Head}} and {{m|Moonblast}}'s secondary effect chances were lowered from 30% to 20% and 10%, respectively.
**{{m|Salt Cure}}'s passive damage was halved, dealing 1/16 of target's maximum HP per turn normally, and 1/8 against Water- and Steel-types.
**{{m|Snap Trap}} had its type changed from Grass to Steel.
**{{m|Toxic Thread}} now lowers Speed by two stages rather than one.
**{{m|Trop Kick}}'s base power was increased from 70 to 85.
*If a Pokémon is forced to use a different move than selected due to Encore, it will now perform that move at its usual priority, rather than of the move that was selected.
*[[PP]] of moves is now set to fixed values of 8, 12, 16, and 20, depending on the move. Notably, {{m|Protect}} has only 8 PP, despite starting from 10 in Scarlet and Violet.

==Connectivity==
[[File:CP Connectivity demo.jpg|300px|thumb|left|News banner detailing connectitity to Pokémon Champions]]
Pokémon Champions can connect with [[Pokémon HOME]], allowing for use of Pokémon from the [[core series]] games and {{g|GO}}, though this is limited to Pokémon that appear in Pokémon Champions. Pokémon originally obtained in Pokémon Champions cannot be deposited in Pokémon HOME.
{{-}}
When a Pokémon is sent to visit Champions for the first time [[Effort Values]] (converted to the new Stat Point system), stat alignment (ie the [[Nature]] or [[Mint]]), and the moveset of the most recently visited game are carried over. Any changes in Champions are not reflected when the Pokémon is sent back to Home, and any subsequent changes in another game will not affect the data in Champions.
The way effort values are converted to Stat Points matches how EV training works at level 50 with an odd [[Individual values|IV]]: 4 EVs for the first Stat Point in a stat and 8 EVs for each additional Stat Point. Therefore a Pokémon fully EV trained in 3 or 4 stats will have a maximum of 65 Stat Points when transferred and be able to earn on additional Stat Point in Champions. Pokémon EV trained in 5 or 6 stats will already be able to be transferred with 66 Stat Points.

'''Pokémon Champions''' (Japanese: '''{{Ruby|Pokémon|ポケモン}} {{Ruby|Champions|チャンピオンズ}}''') is a {{wp|Freemium|free-to-start}} [[side series]] Pokémon game for the [[Nintendo Switch]], {{wp|iOS}}, {{wp|iPadOS}}, and {{wp|Android}}. It allows players to {{pkmn|battle}} using the same mechanics as the [[core series]] games, including [[type]]s, {{Abilities}}, and [[move]]s. The game was released worldwide on April 8, 2026 on the Nintendo Switch.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zones, the game was released on April 7, 2026 in North America, even though it was released at the same time as the rest of the world.</ref>

The game was announced worldwide on [[Pokémon Day#2025|Pokémon Day]], February 27, 2025, at 11 P.M. JST via a [[Pokémon Presents#February 27, 2025|Pokémon Presents]]. It is playable in ten languages: Japanese, English, German, European and Latin American Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

On the Nintendo Switch, both a free-to-start version and a paid '''Pokémon Champions + Starter Pack''' (Japanese: '''『Pokémon Champions』 + スターターパック''' ''Pokémon Champions + Starter Pack'') bundle are available.

The Pokédex main page includes a list of all Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] with the options to search with additional filters applied. It also includes the total number of registered species. In the Nintendo Switch version, the current [[time]] is displayed at the top-right corner.

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are included in the Hisui Pokédex, but excluded from the other Pokédexes. {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} are also excluded from the Blueberry Pokédex, but are included in the Pokémon GO Pokédex. Completing an entry in one of these Pokédexes requires transferring into HOME a Pokémon that [[Game of origin|originates]] from that specific game. Each Pokédex (except the Pokémon GO Pokédex) features a progress bar of the player's completion and adds a crown icon next to the number of entries after total completion is achieved. Entries are registered in the Mega Evolution Pokédex if the base form of the Pokémon is registered to the Lumiose or Hyperspace Pokédex, and HOME is connected to a Z-A save file that has obtain the relevant Mega Stone.

The images used in the Kanto, Galar, Isle of Armor, Crown Tundra, Sinnoh, and Hisui Pokédexes show the models of each Pokémon as they appear in the corresponding game. Selecting a Pokémon displays its model and number in the Pokédex; in the Hisui Pokédex, the model is shown on a gray background like in the in-game Pokédex in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. If the Pokémon is not registered, its model will be shown as a silhouette. Some Pokémon display multiple models when selected to show their different [[form]]s that appear in that game; this includes all Pokémon with [[regional form]]s, as well as {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Unfezant}}, {{p|Basculin}}, {{p|Frillish}}, {{p|Jellicent}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, {{p|Meowstic}}, {{p|Lycanroc}}, {{p|Toxtricity}}, {{p|Indeedee}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Basculegion}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}. {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} have their forms shown in the Sinnoh and Hisui Pokédexes but not the Galar Pokédex, which only displays their East Sea forms. Unlike in the in-game Pokédexes, Pokémon with regional forms have the form corresponding to that region shown as the primary form (for example, the Galar Pokédex shows {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Meowth}} as Meowth's primary form). Burmy and Wormadam also have the order of their forms changed in the Hisui Pokédex (Plant Cloak, Trash Cloak, Sandy Cloak), though the Sinnoh Pokédex displays them in their in-game order (Plant Cloak, Sandy Cloak, Trash Cloak). {{p|Unown}} has only its A form shown in the Sinnoh Pokédex, while only its F form is shown in the Hisui Pokédex.

The Paldea, Kitakami, and Blueberry Pokédexes do not use the Pokémon's models; instead, the Pokémon are represented with their menu sprites from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and selecting a Pokémon displays its Pokédex image from these games (albeit with the borders removed) with its number in the Pokédex. The menu sprites used show the primary form for most Pokémon; however, {{p|Vivillon}} uses its Fancy Pattern sprite, while {{p|Maushold}} uses its Family of Four sprite in the Paldea Pokédex and its Family of Three sprite in the Kitakami Pokédex. The Pokémon GO Pokédex uses each Pokémon's render from Pokémon HOME, with the National Pokédex numbers of each Pokémon being shown when they are selected. It does not display any alternate forms, with only the primary form of each Pokémon being shown (Unown uses its F form, Vivillon uses the Meadow Pattern, and Maushold uses its Family of Three form).

==Pokédex entries==
{{g|HOME}} includes [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] of all Pokémon as seen in the [[National Pokédex]].

It 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]], {{gen|VII}}, {{gen|VIII}}, and {{gen|IX}} core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Entries from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} can only be viewed when HOME is connected to a Legends: Arceus save file that has the entry for that Pokémon completed to research level 10, if that Pokémon has been registered in HOME's Pokédex. However, the HOME Pokédex will register a Pokémon deposited from Legends: Arceus as caught and unlock any other game's Pokédex entries, if any, even if the research level in Legends: Arceus is not at level 10. [[Foreign Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries from other languages]] and alternate [[form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered.

Completing the National Pokédex up to {{p|Eternatus}} (including [[Mythical Pokémon]]) makes the player eligible to {{DL|List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII|Magearna|receive}} an {{form|Magearna|Original Color}} {{p|Magearna}}, made available for the first time in this alternate form. 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.

When the player makes a transfer from {{g|Bank}}, their National Pokédex on HOME will update and sync to include the entries on their National Pokédex from Bank.

Pokédex entries from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, like in the game itself, only appear when the player reaches research level 10 for that Pokémon by completing enough [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)|research task]]s in the game. When Pokémon HOME is connected to a Legends: Arceus save file, all of that save file's complete Pokédex entries are added to HOME. When viewing an incomplete Legends: Arceus entry in HOME, it uses the following placeholder text: "This Pokémon is being investigated in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Complete research tasks to fill in this Pokémon's entry!"

Pokémon HOME also includes several Pokédex entries for {{g|Sword and Shield}} that cannot be seen in the games. This includes all Pokémon that were {{DL|List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Since Version 1.0.0|present}} in the 1.0 versions of the games, but did not actually appear in the game's Pokédex.

{{a|Battle Bond}} {{p|Greninja}} and [[Bond Phenomenon|Ash-Greninja]] are the only Pokémon to have no displayed Pokédex entries in Pokémon HOME's Pokédex.

In the Nintendo Switch version, the player can also view which Generation VI, VII, VIII, and IX core series games a Pokémon can be obtained in (without requiring [[Evolution]], {{pkmn2|event}}s, or [[save data bonus]]es). This feature does not distinguish between different [[form]]s of a Pokémon.

The entries for a few Pokémon have a unique feature where the player can "rotate" the Pokémon by pressing the right stick (in the Nintendo Switch version) or tapping a rotation icon (in the mobile version), which replaces the Pokémon's render with one viewed from a different angle in order to make a [[form]] difference or [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]] easier or possible to see. The Pokémon with this feature are {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Buizel}}, and {{p|Floatzel}} in both versions (where they can be viewed from behind to highlight a gender difference), as well as {{p|Sinistea}}, {{p|Polteageist}}, {{p|Poltchageist}}, and {{p|Sinistcha}} in only the mobile version (where they can be viewed from below to highlight a form difference). Bidoof is the only one of these Pokémon where the gender difference in question can be seen on the default render without needing to rotate.

The mobile version has an "[[Evolution]]" section at the bottom of each entry that shows the Pokémon's evolutionary line, including any [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branches]]. Tapping another Pokémon in the evolutionary line opens that Pokémon's entry.

===Registering Pokémon and alternate forms===
The Pokédex registers data for any Pokémon that is deposited into HOME, including most alternate forms recognized by the Pokédex in the core series, and in the mobile version only, visually identical forms with unique [[Ability|Abilities]]. Additionally, when any Pokémon are transferred from Bank to HOME, all Pokédex data in Bank is added to the Pokédex in HOME.

If the Pokémon has a [[Mega Evolution]], another form that can only be used in battle (e.g. {{p|Cherrim}}'s {{form|Cherrim|Sunshine Form}}), or a form that requires a held item (e.g. {{p|Silvally}}'s {{form|Silvally|alternate forms}}), the data for these forms is registered when any form of the Pokémon is deposited (this also applies to {{form|Pokémon of myth|Dialga, Palkia, Giratina}}, and {{form|Arceus}}, despite these Pokémon not requiring a held item or battle to change forms in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], as they revert to their standard forms upon being deposited into HOME). In order to register the entry for Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}, a Rayquaza must be deposited knowing the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Registering a Pokémon's [[Gigantamax]] form requires depositing the Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor.

If a Pokémon has a form that requires combining two Pokémon (i.e. {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, or {{p|Calyrex}}), the entry for that form is registered when both Pokémon that make up that form are registered. Registering Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma will also register Ultra Necrozma.

{{p|Alcremie}}'s forms uniquely do not all need to be registered individually; instead, depositing an Alcremie registers all the forms with the cream type that was deposited, regardless of its [[Sweet]] type.

If a Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]] is deposited, both genders are registered, except in the case of [[Shiny Pokémon]]. Depositing a Shiny Pokémon will register both the Shiny and regular entries for that species and form, and unlike non-Shiny Pokémon in the mobile version, depositing a Shiny Pokémon with a gender difference will register the Shiny entry only for that gender.

Depositing a Pokémon with a foreign [[language of origin]] unlocks that language's [[Foreign Pokédex entry|Pokédex entry]] for all forms of that species that have been registered.

HOME doesn't recognize alternate forms that don't appear in the Pokédex in the core series (except those with unique Abilities), including [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|partner Pikachu and Eevee]], all [[Cosplay Pikachu]] forms (including the non-costumed form which appears in the Pokédex in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}), all [[Totem Pokémon|Totem-like Pokémon]], all frenzied [[Noble Pokémon]], [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], the unused {{t|???}}-type {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Revavroom}}'s [[Starmobile]] forms, {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}'s non-battle forms, and {{p|Ogerpon}}'s {{Tera}}stallized forms, as well as the visually identical technical forms of {{p|Mothim}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Scatterbug}}, {{p|Spewpa}}, and {{p|Minior}}.

Unlike other forms with unique Abilities, {{p|Zygarde}}'s 10% and 50% Formes with {{a|Power Construct}} are not recognized as separate forms in the mobile version, with {{a|Aura Break}} listed as their only Ability even if opening their Pokédex entry from the summary of a Zygarde with Power Construct.

===Moves and Abilities===
The mobile version of Pokémon HOME has a section of the Pokédex where [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} are listed and can be registered. Prior to v2.0.0, moves and Abilities each occupied separate sections of the Pokédex; starting in v2.0.0, to make space for the regional Pokédex section, the move and Ability sections are merged into a single section titled "Others", where the move and Ability lists can be toggled between. The lists are arranged alphabetically. Registering a move or Ability adds a {{i|Poké Ball}} icon next to it.

The list of moves displays the [[type]] and [[Damage category|category]] of each move. Tapping a move or Ability in the list allows its description to be seen, taken from the most recent [[core series]] game in which it has a description (other than the generic one for unusable moves). It is also possible to search for Pokémon in the player's storage that know the selected move or have the selected Ability, or search for Pokémon in the Pokédex that can have the selected Ability. In v3.0.0, filters were added for each of the Nintendo Switch core series games; selecting any of these filters removes all moves or Abilities that are unusable or not present in that game and changes the descriptions to the ones from that game (though the move category is not changed, leading to the oddity of {{m|Double Hit}} being displayed as a physical move in the list for [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]), as well as removing the registered icons.

Moves can be registered if a Pokémon that knows the move (in any of its game-specific movesets) is deposited into HOME. The following moves are absent from the list due to the impossibility of registering them legitimately:
* {{m|Struggle}}
* {{m|Nihil Light}}
*The [[signature move]]s of the two {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} from {{LGPE}}
*The signature moves of the [[Starmobile]]s
*[[Z-Move]]s
*[[Max Move]]s and [[G-Max Move]]s

Abilities can be registered if a Pokémon that has the Ability (in any of its game-specific sets of data) is deposited into HOME. However, they can also be registered by depositing a Pokémon into HOME that would be able to gain the Ability via a [[form]] change. For example, depositing a {{p|Gengar}} registers both {{a|Cursed Body}} and {{a|Shadow Tag}}, the former being its own Ability and the latter being attainable via [[Mega Evolution]]. This only applies if the alternate form has also been registered in the Pokédex (for example, {{a|Neuroforce}} can only be registered if a {{p|Necrozma}} is deposited and either {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}} has been registered, since this is required in order to register [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Ultra Necrozma]]). {{a|Embody Aspect}} is the only Ability that is absent from the list, as it is acquired only through the [[Terastal phenomenon]], with the unique Terastallized states of {{p|Ogerpon}} that have it not being considered separate forms in HOME.

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are included in the Hisui Pokédex, but excluded from the other Pokédexes. {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} are also excluded from the Blueberry Pokédex, but are included in the Pokémon GO Pokédex. Completing an entry in one of these Pokédexes requires transferring into HOME a Pokémon that [[Game of origin|originates]] from that specific game. Each Pokédex (except the Pokémon GO Pokédex) features a progress bar of the player's completion and adds a crown icon next to the number of entries after total completion is achieved. Entries are registered in the Mega Evolution Pokédex if the base form of the Pokémon is registered to the Lumiose or Hyperspace Pokédex, and HOME is connected to a ZA save file that has obtain the relevant Mega Stone.

The images used in the Kanto, Galar, Isle of Armor, Crown Tundra, Sinnoh, and Hisui Pokédexes show the models of each Pokémon as they appear in the corresponding game. Selecting a Pokémon displays its model and number in the Pokédex; in the Hisui Pokédex, the model is shown on a gray background like in the in-game Pokédex in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. If the Pokémon is not registered, its model will be shown as a silhouette. Some Pokémon display multiple models when selected to show their different [[form]]s that appear in that game; this includes all Pokémon with [[regional form]]s, as well as {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Unfezant}}, {{p|Basculin}}, {{p|Frillish}}, {{p|Jellicent}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, {{p|Meowstic}}, {{p|Lycanroc}}, {{p|Toxtricity}}, {{p|Indeedee}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Basculegion}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}. {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} have their forms shown in the Sinnoh and Hisui Pokédexes but not the Galar Pokédex, which only displays their East Sea forms. Unlike in the in-game Pokédexes, Pokémon with regional forms have the form corresponding to that region shown as the primary form (for example, the Galar Pokédex shows {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Meowth}} as Meowth's primary form). Burmy and Wormadam also have the order of their forms changed in the Hisui Pokédex (Plant Cloak, Trash Cloak, Sandy Cloak), though the Sinnoh Pokédex displays them in their in-game order (Plant Cloak, Sandy Cloak, Trash Cloak). {{p|Unown}} has only its A form shown in the Sinnoh Pokédex, while only its F form is shown in the Hisui Pokédex.

The Paldea, Kitakami, and Blueberry Pokédexes do not use the Pokémon's models; instead, the Pokémon are represented with their menu sprites from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and selecting a Pokémon displays its Pokédex image from these games (albeit with the borders removed) with its number in the Pokédex. The menu sprites used show the primary form for most Pokémon; however, {{p|Vivillon}} uses its Fancy Pattern sprite, while {{p|Maushold}} uses its Family of Four sprite in the Paldea Pokédex and its Family of Three sprite in the Kitakami Pokédex. The Pokémon GO Pokédex uses each Pokémon's render from Pokémon HOME, with the National Pokédex numbers of each Pokémon being shown when they are selected. It does not display any alternate forms, with only the primary form of each Pokémon being shown (Unown uses its F form, Vivillon uses the Meadow Pattern, and Maushold uses its Family of Three form).

==Pokédex entries==
{{g|HOME}} includes [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] of all Pokémon as seen in the [[National Pokédex]].

It 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]], {{gen|VII}}, {{gen|VIII}}, and {{gen|IX}} core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Entries from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} can only be viewed when HOME is connected to a Legends: Arceus save file that has the entry for that Pokémon completed to research level 10, if that Pokémon has been registered in HOME's Pokédex. However, the HOME Pokédex will register a Pokémon deposited from Legends: Arceus as caught and unlock any other game's Pokédex entries, if any, even if the research level in Legends: Arceus is not at level 10. [[Foreign Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries from other languages]] and alternate [[form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered.

Completing the National Pokédex up to {{p|Eternatus}} (including [[Mythical Pokémon]]) makes the player eligible to {{DL|List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII|Magearna|receive}} an {{form|Magearna|Original Color}} {{p|Magearna}}, made available for the first time in this alternate form. 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.

When the player makes a transfer from {{g|Bank}}, their National Pokédex on HOME will update and sync to include the entries on their National Pokédex from Bank.

Pokédex entries from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, like in the game itself, only appear when the player reaches research level 10 for that Pokémon by completing enough [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)|research task]]s in the game. When Pokémon HOME is connected to a Legends: Arceus save file, all of that save file's complete Pokédex entries are added to HOME. When viewing an incomplete Legends: Arceus entry in HOME, it uses the following placeholder text: "This Pokémon is being investigated in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Complete research tasks to fill in this Pokémon's entry!"

Pokémon HOME also includes several Pokédex entries for {{g|Sword and Shield}} that cannot be seen in the games. This includes all Pokémon that were {{DL|List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Since Version 1.0.0|present}} in the 1.0 versions of the games, but did not actually appear in the game's Pokédex.

{{a|Battle Bond}} {{p|Greninja}} and [[Bond Phenomenon|Ash-Greninja]] are the only Pokémon to have no displayed Pokédex entries in Pokémon HOME's Pokédex.

In the Nintendo Switch version, the player can also view which Generation VI, VII, VIII, and IX core series games a Pokémon can be obtained in (without requiring [[Evolution]], {{pkmn2|event}}s, or [[save data bonus]]es). This feature does not distinguish between different [[form]]s of a Pokémon.

The entries for a few Pokémon have a unique feature where the player can "rotate" the Pokémon by pressing the right stick (in the Nintendo Switch version) or tapping a rotation icon (in the mobile version), which replaces the Pokémon's render with one viewed from a different angle in order to make a [[form]] difference or [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]] easier or possible to see. The Pokémon with this feature are {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Buizel}}, and {{p|Floatzel}} in both versions (where they can be viewed from behind to highlight a gender difference), as well as {{p|Sinistea}}, {{p|Polteageist}}, {{p|Poltchageist}}, and {{p|Sinistcha}} in only the mobile version (where they can be viewed from below to highlight a form difference). Bidoof is the only one of these Pokémon where the gender difference in question can be seen on the default render without needing to rotate.

The mobile version has an "[[Evolution]]" section at the bottom of each entry that shows the Pokémon's evolutionary line, including any [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branches]]. Tapping another Pokémon in the evolutionary line opens that Pokémon's entry.

===Registering Pokémon and alternate forms===
The Pokédex registers data for any Pokémon that is deposited into HOME, including most alternate forms recognized by the Pokédex in the core series, and in the mobile version only, visually identical forms with unique [[Ability|Abilities]]. Additionally, when any Pokémon are transferred from Bank to HOME, all Pokédex data in Bank is added to the Pokédex in HOME.

If the Pokémon has a [[Mega Evolution]], another form that can only be used in battle (e.g. {{p|Cherrim}}'s {{form|Cherrim|Sunshine Form}}), or a form that requires a held item (e.g. {{p|Silvally}}'s {{form|Silvally|alternate forms}}), the data for these forms is registered when any form of the Pokémon is deposited (this also applies to {{form|Pokémon of myth|Dialga, Palkia, Giratina}}, and {{form|Arceus}}, despite these Pokémon not requiring a held item or battle to change forms in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], as they revert to their standard forms upon being deposited into HOME). In order to register the entry for Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}, a Rayquaza must be deposited knowing the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Registering a Pokémon's [[Gigantamax]] form requires depositing the Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor.

If a Pokémon has a form that requires combining two Pokémon (i.e. {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, or {{p|Calyrex}}), the entry for that form is registered when both Pokémon that make up that form are registered. Registering Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma will also register Ultra Necrozma.

{{p|Alcremie}}'s forms uniquely do not all need to be registered individually; instead, depositing an Alcremie registers all the forms with the cream type that was deposited, regardless of its [[Sweet]] type.

If a Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]] is deposited, both genders are registered, except in the case of [[Shiny Pokémon]]. Depositing a Shiny Pokémon will register both the Shiny and regular entries for that species and form, and unlike non-Shiny Pokémon in the mobile version, depositing a Shiny Pokémon with a gender difference will register the Shiny entry only for that gender.

Depositing a Pokémon with a foreign [[language of origin]] unlocks that language's [[Foreign Pokédex entry|Pokédex entry]] for all forms of that species that have been registered.

HOME doesn't recognize alternate forms that don't appear in the Pokédex in the core series (except those with unique Abilities), including [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|partner Pikachu and Eevee]], all [[Cosplay Pikachu]] forms (including the non-costumed form which appears in the Pokédex in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}), all [[Totem Pokémon|Totem-like Pokémon]], all frenzied [[Noble Pokémon]], [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], the unused {{t|???}}-type {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Revavroom}}'s [[Starmobile]] forms, {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}'s non-battle forms, and {{p|Ogerpon}}'s {{Tera}}stallized forms, as well as the visually identical technical forms of {{p|Mothim}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Scatterbug}}, {{p|Spewpa}}, and {{p|Minior}}.

Unlike other forms with unique Abilities, {{p|Zygarde}}'s 10% and 50% Formes with {{a|Power Construct}} are not recognized as separate forms in the mobile version, with {{a|Aura Break}} listed as their only Ability even if opening their Pokédex entry from the summary of a Zygarde with Power Construct.

===Moves and Abilities===
The mobile version of Pokémon HOME has a section of the Pokédex where [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} are listed and can be registered. Prior to v2.0.0, moves and Abilities each occupied separate sections of the Pokédex; starting in v2.0.0, to make space for the regional Pokédex section, the move and Ability sections are merged into a single section titled "Others", where the move and Ability lists can be toggled between. The lists are arranged alphabetically. Registering a move or Ability adds a {{i|Poké Ball}} icon next to it.

The list of moves displays the [[type]] and [[Damage category|category]] of each move.

*The signature moves of the [[Starmobile]]s
*[[Z-Move]]s
*[[Max Move]]s and [[G-Max Move]]s

Abilities can be registered if a Pokémon that has the Ability (in any of its game-specific sets of data) is deposited into HOME. However, they can also be registered by depositing a Pokémon into HOME that would be able to gain the Ability via a [[form]] change. For example, depositing a {{p|Gengar}} registers both {{a|Cursed Body}} and {{a|Shadow Tag}}, the former being its own Ability and the latter being attainable via [[Mega Evolution]]. This only applies if the alternate form has also been registered in the Pokédex (for example, {{a|Neuroforce}} can only be registered if a {{p|Necrozma}} is deposited and either {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}} has been registered, since this is required in order to register [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Ultra Necrozma]]). {{a|Embody Aspect}} is the only Ability that is absent from the list, as it is acquired only through the [[Terastal phenomenon]], with the unique Terastallized states of {{p|Ogerpon}} that have it not being considered separate forms in HOME.

GO Transporter

2026-04-02T15:06:46Z

Jmvb: /* Restrictions */

[[File:GO Transporter.png|thumb|right|170px|The GO Transporter in {{g|GO}}]]
The '''GO Transporter''' (Japanese: '''転送装置''' ''Transporter'') is a feature in {{g|GO}} that allows the player to [[transfer]] Pokémon from Pokémon GO to {{g|HOME}}. It was made available on November 11, 2020 (November 10, 2020 in North America). It is referred to in some menus in Pokémon HOME as '''Pokémon GO Link'''.

The GO Transporter is one-way; Pokémon sent to HOME cannot be sent back to GO. Pokémon transferred via the GO Transporter also cannot be moved to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], but can be moved to [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]] games.

Using the GO Transporter unlocks the [[Mystery Box]].

==Connectivity==
GO Transporter is accessed by selecting Pokémon HOME from the Connected Devices and Services menu in Pokémon GO.

If a Pokémon GO account and a Pokémon HOME account are connected to the same Nintendo Account, and that Pokémon HOME account has been opened on a mobile device before, then the GO Transporter can be used to send Pokémon from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME. The Pokémon HOME Premium Plan is not required to access the GO Transporter.

==Restrictions==
Up to 25 Pokémon may be sent through the GO Transporter at a time. Once Pokémon have been sent to Pokémon HOME via GO Transporter, they must be received in Pokémon HOME before more Pokémon can be sent.

The player cannot transfer a Pokémon that is currently set as a Favorite, defending a {{OBP|Gym|GO}}, placed at a {{GO|Power Spot}}, set as the [[Buddy Pokémon]], [[Mega Evolution (GO)|Mega-Evolved]], or [[Fusion (GO)|Fused]]. The player also cannot transfer their last {{GO|Dynamax}} Pokémon. In addition, the following Pokémon and forms cannot be sent to HOME:
* {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}} (but [[Purified Pokémon]] can be)
* [[Event Pokémon (GO)|Event Pokémon]] (also known as costumed Pokémon)
* {{GO|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Pokémon}}<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/go-bigger-gigantamax GO Bigger with Gigantamax Pokémon in new Max Battles! – Pokémon GO]</ref>

* Crowned Shield {{p|Zamazenta}}
* {{p|Eternatus}}

Once sent to Pokémon HOME via GO Transporter, {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon (except {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}) can only be moved to a [[core series]] game if they have been registered to the Pokédex of that game or obtained at least once in that game. This restriction applies to individual forms; for example, a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Deoxys|Speed Forme]] [[Deoxys]] cannot transfer to a save file that has only seen the Normal, Attack, and Defense Formes of Deoxys. However, this restriction is only enforced on the HOME account that the Pokémon was originally transferred to—if it is traded to a different HOME account, it can be transferred to any compatible core series game. If the Pokémon is traded back to the original HOME account, the restriction will return.

Transferred Pokémon that acquire Latin American Spanish as the language of origin are not able to be transferred to any games released prior to {{g|Legends: ZA}}, where the language was introduced.

==GO Transporter Energy==
GO Transporter Energy (Japanese: 転送エナジー ''Transfer Energy'') is required for each Pokémon that is transferred. The GO Transporter can store a maximum of 10,000 GO Transporter Energy at one time, and it automatically recharges 60 GO Transporter Energy per hour. As such, it takes 6 days, 22 hours, and 40 minutes to fully recharge a GO Transporter from 0 Energy. Players can also pay [[PokéCoin]]s, at {{PCoin}}1 for 10 Energy, to instantly and fully recharge the GO Transporter.

The amount of GO Transporter Energy required by the GO Transporter to transfer a Pokémon depends on several factors. The base cost is determined by whether the Pokémon is {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, {{pkmn2|Mythical}}, or an [[Ultra Beast]]. Further costs are added depending on the Pokémon's [[Combat Power|CP]] and whether it is [[Shiny Pokémon (GO)|Shiny]]. All costs are capped at 10,000.

==Modifications to transported Pokémon==
Pokémon are modified in a similar way to how they are modified when transferred via the [[GO Park]], although the conversion is not exactly the same.

===Form===
Forms are preserved by the GO Transporter, if they can exist in Pokémon HOME. [[Purified Pokémon]] become regular Pokémon.

Unlike [[Pokémon Bank]] (which changes Furfrou to Natural Form when deposited), {{p|Furfrou}} will preserve its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Furfrou|different trims]] when deposited in HOME via the GO Transporter.

Pokémon in forms that they can only take in battle in the [[core series]] games, or that have special requirements that would not be met in Pokémon HOME, revert to their default form when transported to HOME. The player is warned about this form change on the confirmation screen before transporting the Pokémon. The following lists the alternate forms that change to the base form upon transfer.

{| class="roundtable" style="background:#{{GO color}}; border:3px solid #{{GO color dark}}; text-align: center"

{{MSP/GO|0649W|Genesect|Chill Drive}} [[Chill Drive]]
{{MSP/GO|0649B|Genesect|Douse Drive}} [[Douse Drive]]
|}

===Origin===
Pokémon transferred from Pokémon GO have Pokémon GO as their [[game of origin]], resulting in them having the [[File:GO icon VIII.png|16px|GO]] [[origin mark]].

The Pokémon's [[language of origin]] is the language that was originally set in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]] the first time that the player used it. This language value is visible on the Profile screen of the mobile version of Pokémon HOME. The current language of Pokémon HOME and Pokémon GO have no impact on the Pokémon's language of origin. In version 4.0.0, to account for the addition of Latin American Spanish, the player is given a one-time opportunity to change the language of the account which will change the language of origin for all future transfers.

===Level===
The Pokémon's [[level]] will be the same as its [[power up]] level in Pokémon GO, rounded down to the nearest integer. This means that Pokémon transported from Pokémon GO can range from level 1 to level 50.

===Moves===
The moves that a Pokémon knew in Pokémon GO have no bearing on its moves in HOME. In the Pokémon's default data set (which is used when moving it to [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]), its moves are reset to moves it would know in the wild at its current level (i.e. its most recent level-up moves at that level). The game whose learnset is used depends on the Pokémon's species:
* If the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it uses its learnset from those games, even if this learnset contains moves unusable in Pokémon Sword and Shield.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdatlcVuytM</ref>
* Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], it uses its learnset from those games.
* Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], it uses its learnset from those games.
* Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], it uses its learnset from that game.
* Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], it uses its learnset from those games.

===Original Trainer and nickname===
No Original Trainer information from Pokémon GO is kept. The Pokémon's Original Trainer is set to the player's name and [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] in the mobile version of Pokémon HOME.

The Pokémon GO Trainer who sent the Pokémon to HOME is listed on the Pokémon's summary screen in Pokémon HOME. Prior to Pokémon HOME version 2.0.0, this information would be lost if it was moved to a [[Generation VIII]] game; this information is now preserved. The Pokémon GO Trainer name is not listed for Pokémon that were transferred from GO to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

The Pokémon's [[nickname]] is removed, reverting to its species name in its language of origin.

===Met date===
The Pokémon's met date is the date it was obtained in Pokémon GO. For hatched Pokémon, this is the date they were hatched rather than the date their Egg was received (unless they were hatched before hatch dates were recorded).

===Poké Ball===
The Pokémon's [[Poké Ball]] will be the same as the Poké Ball it was caught in in Pokémon GO. Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s will be contained in a standard {{i|Poké Ball}}.

This contrasts with Pokémon that were transferred from Pokémon GO to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and then placed in Pokémon HOME—those Pokémon instead use the Poké Ball that was used to catch them in the GO Park, rather than the one that was used in Pokémon GO.

===IVs===
The Pokémon's {{IV}}s are calculated from its IVs in Pokémon GO. In Pokémon HOME, its IVs are equal to one more than twice their corresponding IV in GO (i.e. <math display="inline">HOME = 2 \times GO + 1</math>). As a result, the maximum possible IV for a transferred Pokémon is 31 (the maximum possible for any Pokémon) while the minimum is 1, and the IVs are all guaranteed to be odd.

The following are the corresponding GO IVs for each IV in Pokémon HOME. Speed has no corresponding IV in Pokémon GO, so it is instead randomly generated upon transfer (making it the only IV of a Pokémon transferred from GO that can be even).

{| class="roundtable" style="background:#{{GO color}}; border:3px solid #{{GO color dark}}; text-align:center"
! style="color:#FFF" | Core series IV
! style="color:#FFF" | GO IV
|-
| HP || HP
|-
| Attack || Attack
|-
| Defense || Defense
|-
| Special Attack || Attack
|-
| Special Defense || Defense
|-
| Speed
| ''N/A''
|}

Due to this calculation enforcing that all of the Pokémon's IVs except Speed are odd, Pokémon transferred from GO will always have either {{t|Ice}}- or {{type|Dark}} Hidden Power in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. (Hidden Power's type is determined differently in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.)

====Example====
If a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Zigzagoon}} with these IVs in Pokémon GO is transferred to HOME:

{| class="roundy" width="650px" style="background: #{{platinum color}}; border: 3px solid #{{platinum color light}}"
|- style="text-align:center"
| class="roundyleft" rowspan=2 style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | {{MSP/GO|0263G|Zigzagoon|Galarian Form|size=100}}
! style="background: #f00; width: 14%" | Hit Points
! style="background: #f93; width: 14%" | Attack
! class="roundytr" style="background: #fc3; width: 14%" | Defense
|- style="text-align:center"
| style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 8
| style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 15
| class="roundybr" style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 4
|}

It will have this set of IVs after transfer (with Speed being random):

{{Hidden Power calculation/IV|17|31|9|0–31|31|9|HOME263G.png{{!}}100px}}

===Nature===
The Pokémon's [[Nature]] is randomly generated upon transfer.

===Ability===
The Pokémon's [[Ability]] is randomly selected from the Pokémon's standard Abilities as of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

===Height and weight===
The Pokémon's [[height]] and [[weight]] are retained, but display the species default value instead when viewed in HOME. (In contrast, Pokémon transferred from GO via Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee! display their unique height and weight values from Pokémon GO in Pokémon HOME.) If transferred into [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], it will display its unique height and weight values in that game, despite not displaying them in HOME.

===Dynamax===
No {{GO|Dynamax}} information from Pokémon GO is kept. All Pokémon are set to a [[Dynamax#Dynamax Level and HP|Dynamax Level]] of 0, regardless of the levels of their [[Max Move]]s.

==Bugs==
* Prior to November 16, 2020, [[Alolan form|Alolan]] and [[Galarian form]]s of {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} used the learnsets of their original forms from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], rather than the learnsets of their actual forms, causing the Pokémon to be able to know moves they otherwise would not. [https://i.redd.it/0gkikai1hnz51.jpg An official announcement] was made regarding the issue, and it has since been fixed and the affected Pokémon's moves have been replaced.
** The fix was introduced with v1.2.1 of the Nintendo Switch version of [[Pokémon HOME]], released on December 9, 2020, UTC. When the Switch version of HOME and a Pokémon Sword or Shield save file are linked, all Pokémon affected by the bug (including those in the [[party]], the [[nursery]], and [[Poké Job]]s) are fixed.<ref>https://twitter.com/sibuna_switch/status/1336676722679361536</ref>
* When it first became possible to transfer Hisuian {{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Electrode}} on May 24, 2022, they initially used their Kantonian form's learnset from [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] as long as they were not transferred onward to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1529230936025473024</ref> This bug was resolved in September 2022.
* Sometime on or before June 11, 2022, Galarian {{p|Slowking}} could obtain the Ability {{a|Unseen Fist}} upon transfer from GO, and would keep it on transfer to [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. However, it would then not be allowed in online trades or battles unless the player used an [[Ability Capsule]] or [[Ability Patch]].<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1535722945175248896</ref> This bug was resolved on December 14, 2022—any Galarian Slowking with Unseen Fist in HOME have their Ability corrected to {{a|Curious Medicine}}.
* On June 15, 2023, between 09:00 UTC and 15:10 UTC, transferred Pokémon would have their current [[experience]] set to 0xFFFFFFFF (4,294,967,295 or -1 depending on implementation {{wp|signedness}}), causing them to appear as level 1 in the mobile version of HOME and level 100 in the Switch version of HOME. This also blocked them from online [[trade]]s in HOME and online trades in all games except {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, as well as causing them to display a current experience of -1 in {{g|Sword and Shield}} and causing the [[summary]] to crash the game in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. If the Pokémon was compatible with a Switch game, players could normalize the experience to the regular level 100 maximum by (for example) sending out the Pokémon in a battle.
** Pokémon HOME entered maintenance on August 8, 2023, during which affected Pokémon deposited into HOME were normalized to level 100. Pokémon not deposited can also be normalized by depositing them after maintenance ended.
* The forms of {{p|Toxtricity}} could have [[Nature]]s that only the opposite form can normally have upon transfer from GO. For example, Amped Form Toxtricity could have a Calm Nature, which can normally only be on the Low Key Form.

GO Transporter

Jmvb: /* Origin */ 4.0.0

[[File:GO Transporter.png|thumb|right|170px|The GO Transporter in {{g|GO}}]]
The '''GO Transporter''' (Japanese: '''転送装置''' ''Transporter'') is a feature in {{g|GO}} that allows the player to [[transfer]] Pokémon from Pokémon GO to {{g|HOME}}. It was made available on November 11, 2020 (November 10, 2020 in North America). It is referred to in some menus in Pokémon HOME as '''Pokémon GO Link'''.

The GO Transporter is one-way; Pokémon sent to HOME cannot be sent back to GO. Pokémon transferred via the GO Transporter also cannot be moved to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], but can be moved to [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]] games.

Using the GO Transporter unlocks the [[Mystery Box]].

Once sent to Pokémon HOME via GO Transporter, {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon (except {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}) can only be moved to a [[core series]] game if they have been registered to the Pokédex of that game or obtained at least once in that game. This restriction applies to individual forms; for example, a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Deoxys|Speed Forme]] [[Deoxys]] cannot transfer to a save file that has only seen the Normal, Attack, and Defense Formes of Deoxys. However, this restriction is only enforced on the HOME account that the Pokémon was originally transferred to—if it is traded to a different HOME account, it can be transferred to any compatible core series game. If the Pokémon is traded back to the original HOME account, the restriction will return.

The Pokémon's [[level]] will be the same as its [[power up]] level in Pokémon GO, rounded down to the nearest integer. This means that Pokémon transported from Pokémon GO can range from level 1 to level 50.

===Moves===
The moves that a Pokémon knew in Pokémon GO have no bearing on its moves in HOME. In the Pokémon's default data set (which is used when moving it to [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]), its moves are reset to moves it would know in the wild at its current level (i.e. its most recent level-up moves at that level). The game whose learnset is used depends on the Pokémon's species:
* If the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it uses its learnset from those games, even if this learnset contains moves unusable in Pokémon Sword and Shield.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdatlcVuytM</ref>
* Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], it uses its learnset from those games.
* Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], it uses its learnset from those games.
* Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], it uses its learnset from that game.
* Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], it uses its learnset from those games.

===Original Trainer and nickname===
No Original Trainer information from Pokémon GO is kept. The Pokémon's Original Trainer is set to the player's name and [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] in the mobile version of Pokémon HOME.

The Pokémon GO Trainer who sent the Pokémon to HOME is listed on the Pokémon's summary screen in Pokémon HOME. Prior to Pokémon HOME version 2.0.0, this information would be lost if it was moved to a [[Generation VIII]] game; this information is now preserved. The Pokémon GO Trainer name is not listed for Pokémon that were transferred from GO to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

The Pokémon's [[nickname]] is removed, reverting to its species name in its language of origin.

===Met date===
The Pokémon's met date is the date it was obtained in Pokémon GO. For hatched Pokémon, this is the date they were hatched rather than the date their Egg was received (unless they were hatched before hatch dates were recorded).

===Poké Ball===
The Pokémon's [[Poké Ball]] will be the same as the Poké Ball it was caught in in Pokémon GO. Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s will be contained in a standard {{i|Poké Ball}}.

This contrasts with Pokémon that were transferred from Pokémon GO to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and then placed in Pokémon HOME—those Pokémon instead use the Poké Ball that was used to catch them in the GO Park, rather than the one that was used in Pokémon GO.

===IVs===
The Pokémon's {{IV}}s are calculated from its IVs in Pokémon GO. In Pokémon HOME, its IVs are equal to one more than twice their corresponding IV in GO (i.e. <math display="inline">HOME = 2 \times GO + 1</math>). As a result, the maximum possible IV for a transferred Pokémon is 31 (the maximum possible for any Pokémon) while the minimum is 1, and the IVs are all guaranteed to be odd.

The following are the corresponding GO IVs for each IV in Pokémon HOME. Speed has no corresponding IV in Pokémon GO, so it is instead randomly generated upon transfer (making it the only IV of a Pokémon transferred from GO that can be even).

{| class="roundtable" style="background:#{{GO color}}; border:3px solid #{{GO color dark}}; text-align:center"
! style="color:#FFF" | Core series IV
! style="color:#FFF" | GO IV
|-
| HP || HP
|-
| Attack || Attack
|-
| Defense || Defense
|-
| Special Attack || Attack
|-
| Special Defense || Defense
|-
| Speed
| ''N/A''
|}

Due to this calculation enforcing that all of the Pokémon's IVs except Speed are odd, Pokémon transferred from GO will always have either {{t|Ice}}- or {{type|Dark}} Hidden Power in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. (Hidden Power's type is determined differently in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.)

====Example====
If a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Zigzagoon}} with these IVs in Pokémon GO is transferred to HOME:

{| class="roundy" width="650px" style="background: #{{platinum color}}; border: 3px solid #{{platinum color light}}"
|- style="text-align:center"
| class="roundyleft" rowspan=2 style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | {{MSP/GO|0263G|Zigzagoon|Galarian Form|size=100}}
! style="background: #f00; width: 14%" | Hit Points
! style="background: #f93; width: 14%" | Attack
! class="roundytr" style="background: #fc3; width: 14%" | Defense
|- style="text-align:center"
| style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 8
| style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 15
| class="roundybr" style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 4
|}

It will have this set of IVs after transfer (with Speed being random):

{{Hidden Power calculation/IV|17|31|9|0–31|31|9|HOME263G.png{{!}}100px}}

===Nature===
The Pokémon's [[Nature]] is randomly generated upon transfer.

===Ability===
The Pokémon's [[Ability]] is randomly selected from the Pokémon's standard Abilities as of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

===Height and weight===
The Pokémon's [[height]] and [[weight]] are retained, but display the species default value instead when viewed in HOME. (In contrast, Pokémon transferred from GO via Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee! display their unique height and weight values from Pokémon GO in Pokémon HOME.) If transferred into [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], it will display its unique height and weight values in that game, despite not displaying them in HOME.

===Dynamax===
No {{GO|Dynamax}} information from Pokémon GO is kept. All Pokémon are set to a [[Dynamax#Dynamax Level and HP|Dynamax Level]] of 0, regardless of the levels of their [[Max Move]]s.

==Bugs==
* Prior to November 16, 2020, [[Alolan form|Alolan]] and [[Galarian form]]s of {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} used the learnsets of their original forms from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], rather than the learnsets of their actual forms, causing the Pokémon to be able to know moves they otherwise would not. [https://i.redd.it/0gkikai1hnz51.jpg An official announcement] was made regarding the issue, and it has since been fixed and the affected Pokémon's moves have been replaced.
** The fix was introduced with v1.2.1 of the Nintendo Switch version of [[Pokémon HOME]], released on December 9, 2020, UTC. When the Switch version of HOME and a Pokémon Sword or Shield save file are linked, all Pokémon affected by the bug (including those in the [[party]], the [[nursery]], and [[Poké Job]]s) are fixed.<ref>https://twitter.com/sibuna_switch/status/1336676722679361536</ref>
* When it first became possible to transfer Hisuian {{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Electrode}} on May 24, 2022, they initially used their Kantonian form's learnset from [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] as long as they were not transferred onward to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1529230936025473024</ref> This bug was resolved in September 2022.
* Sometime on or before June 11, 2022, Galarian {{p|Slowking}} could obtain the Ability {{a|Unseen Fist}} upon transfer from GO, and would keep it on transfer to [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. However, it would then not be allowed in online trades or battles unless the player used an [[Ability Capsule]] or [[Ability Patch]].<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1535722945175248896</ref> This bug was resolved on December 14, 2022—any Galarian Slowking with Unseen Fist in HOME have their Ability corrected to {{a|Curious Medicine}}.
* On June 15, 2023, between 09:00 UTC and 15:10 UTC, transferred Pokémon would have their current [[experience]] set to 0xFFFFFFFF (4,294,967,295 or -1 depending on implementation {{wp|signedness}}), causing them to appear as level 1 in the mobile version of HOME and level 100 in the Switch version of HOME. This also blocked them from online [[trade]]s in HOME and online trades in all games except {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, as well as causing them to display a current experience of -1 in {{g|Sword and Shield}} and causing the [[summary]] to crash the game in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. If the Pokémon was compatible with a Switch game, players could normalize the experience to the regular level 100 maximum by (for example) sending out the Pokémon in a battle.
** Pokémon HOME entered maintenance on August 8, 2023, during which affected Pokémon deposited into HOME were normalized to level 100. Pokémon not deposited can also be normalized by depositing them after maintenance ended.
* The forms of {{p|Toxtricity}} could have [[Nature]]s that only the opposite form can normally have upon transfer from GO. For example, Amped Form Toxtricity could have a Calm Nature, which can normally only be on the Low Key Form.

==Video Game Championships==
Players in territories managed by [[The Pokémon Company International]] received invitations from earning Championship Points throughout the year and placing highly enough on the leaderboard at the end of the season (the exact placement needed varied by rating zone and age division). <ref name=Pokemon2025/> Players in Japan and South Korea (managed by [[The Pokémon Company]] and Pokémon Korea) earned invites by placing well in their respective National Championships, which were qualified for via in-game Official Competitions via [[Battle Stadium]]. Players in the Asia Pacific region qualified through placing well in their respective countries Master Ball League, which were open entry tournaments. Additionally, the top 4 in each age division from the previous Pokémon World Championships received a direct invite. Starting with this year, any player was able to earn a direct invite by winning a Regional Championship, winning a Special Event, or finishing in the top 4 at an International Championship (previously, these direct invites were only available to players in TPCi managed territories). Unlike previous Pokémon World Championships, no round 1 byes are awarded at the 2025 Pokémon World Championships.<ref name=Pokemon2025/>

Day One was composed of Swiss rounds, with players earning enough match points moving on to Day Two. These players continued playing Swiss rounds on Day Two, and at the conclusion of the Swiss rounds players with match points equal to or greater than the 8th placed player in the post Swiss standings were placed in an asymmetrical single elimination bracket, with the finals taking place on Day Three. All games were best of three.

Matches took place in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] and were all [[Double Battle]]s. Levels for all Pokémon were adjusted to level 50 and no duplicate Pokémon or items were allowed. Battles used the Regulation I ruleset, which allowed for every Pokémon available in Scarlet and Violet, except for [[Mythical Pokémon]] and {{a|Battle Bond}} {{p|Greninja}}. Players are allowed up to 2 restricted [[Special Pokémon]] per team.

===Junior Division===
Kevin Han was the defending champion but was eligible for the Senior Division.

Luke Whittier of the United States defeated Sosuke Arinori of Japan to become the new Junior Division VGC World Champion, with a final record of 10/2/0.

==Pokémon GO Championships==
[[Pokémon GO]] uses a champions points qualification system, similar to the one used in the Video Game and Trading Card Game Championships. Players received invitations from gaining enough Championship Points throughout the year or from the previous Pokémon World Championships.

Competitors for the Pokémon GO Championships were grouped into four double elimination pods to determine a Top 32. Top 32 competed in another double elimination bracket on Day Two, with grand finals taking place Day Three. The Great League format was utilized. All non-finals matches were best of three, while finals were best of five.

Yekai0904 was the defending champion and was knocked out on Day One.

Ved "Beelzeboy" Bamb became the new Pokémon GO World Champion, and the first Indian Pokémon World Champion.

'''Pokémon HOME''' (Japanese: '''Pokémon HOME''') is a cloud service for {{wp|iOS}}, {{wp|iPadOS}}, {{wp|Android (operating system)|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.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zone differences, the app was released on February 11, 2020 in the Americas, even though it was released at the same time as the rest of the world.</ref>

It was announced at the [[Pokémon Presents#May 29, 2019|Pokémon 2019 Press Conference]] on May 29, 2019.

Pokémon HOME is managed by Pokémon researcher [[Grand Oak]], whose goal is to create a [[Pokédex]] that includes every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}.

==Features==
===Pokémon transfer===
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way [[transfer]] to and from all Switch [[core series]] games. Both the mobile and Switch versions allow one-way transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] (only with a Premium Plan) and [[Pokémon GO]].

====Compatibility with Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
Only Pokémon originally from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can be moved into Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and if such a Pokémon is transferred into a future game, it can no longer be moved back to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

Pokémon that arrive in HOME via transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] are automatically converted to the same format used by {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and therefore cannot enter Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

====Compatibility with Generation VIII====
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way transfer to and from all [[Generation VIII]] games, beginning with {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] that are compatible with Sword and Shield can be transferred to and from Sword and Shield freely and retain their movesets.

In version 2.0.0, HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. The set of data used for a Pokémon differs between Sword and Shield, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus, so a Pokémon's moves will be different for each game. If a Pokémon is transferred from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus to Sword and Shield, its [[origin mark]] will be replaced with the Galar symbol and its met location will be shown as "the [[Faraway place]]", though its actual origin mark will be restored if it is moved back into HOME. Additionally, because Legends: Arceus uses different [[Poké Ball]]s to the other games, Pokémon originally from Legends: Arceus will appear in a [[Strange Ball]] in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}} or a standard {{i|Poké Ball}} in Sword and Shield, while Pokémon not originally from Legends: Arceus will appear in a Strange Ball in Legends: Arceus (though the original Poké Ball of the Pokémon will be regained if it is moved back into HOME).

====Compatibility with Generation IX====
Pokémon HOME gained compatibility with {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} on May 30, 2023 as part of version 3.0.0, allowing Pokémon to be moved freely between all core series Generation VIII and IX games.

On May 18, 2023, [[The Pokémon Company International]] announced that Pokémon HOME support with the games would release on May 24, 2023 at 01:00 UTC, but on May 19, the company announced it was a mistake and said that the actual release date was yet to be announced. No such announcement was made in Japanese by [[The Pokémon Company]], and unlike the later date, the earlier date did not appear in a notice inside the HOME app itself.

In an apparent translation error, the Spanish version of the notice stated that staggered logins would take place from May 30, 2023 06:00 UTC to May 25, 2023 06:00 UTC, instead of the latter date being May 31, 2023 06:00 UTC.<ref>https://twitter.com/MelkorPxP/status/1661886523539697664</ref>

====Compatibility with Pokémon GO====
{{main|GO Transporter}}
One-way transfers from [[Pokémon GO]] to HOME were made available on November 11, 2020.<ref group="note" name="releasego">Due to time zone differences, GO Transporter was released on November 10, 2020 in the Americas.</ref> Upon the first transfer, the player will also receive a {{p|Melmetal}} that can [[Gigantamax]] in Pokémon HOME.

Transfers from Pokémon GO are subject to their own different set of limitations, modifications, and microtransactions.

====Compatibility with Pokémon Champions====
Pokémon HOME will be able to connect to [[Pokémon Champions]] to send Pokémon to the game, though this is limited to Pokémon that appear in Pokémon Champions. Pokémon originally obtained in Pokémon Champions cannot be deposited in Pokémon HOME.

====Limitations====
* The Totem-sized Pokémon that can be in [[Pokémon Bank]] are reduced to their normal sizes when transferred to Pokémon HOME.
* Pokémon that cannot be [[trade]]d in-game also cannot be deposited, including the {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}}, and the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{p|Calyrex}}.
* Like in Pokémon Bank, [[held item]]s cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME; depositing a Pokémon holding an item into HOME causes that item to be returned to the [[Bag]] in the game the Pokémon was deposited from.
* From v2.0.0 onward:
** [[Gigantamax]] Factor {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and (from v3.2.1 onward) {{p|Duraludon}} cannot be transferred to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, or {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. This is to prevent them from [[evolution|evolving]] in games that do not recognize the Gigantamax Factor.
** {{p|Nincada}} [[Game of origin|originally from]] Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into any other game, and Nincada from outside of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into those games.
*** This is likely a redundant protection against several cloning glitches due to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's "PokeDupeChecker" having cases to exclude natural clones such as Ninjask/Shedinja, and Pokémon originating from other games from being flagged and subsequently restricted from trades and entering Pokémon HOME.<ref>https://twitter.com/Kaphotics/status/1495965127031816192</ref>
** {{p|Spinda}} cannot be transferred between Pokémon HOME and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. This is likely due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitches|glitch]] in the latter wherein the bytes of Spinda's [[encryption constant]] are read as a {{wp|Endianness|big-endian}} value rather than a little-endian value, which would cause Spinda's spot pattern to change on transfer if transfers were possible.
** In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] that can only be {{pkmn2|caught}} once per savefile (such as {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}) can only be (newly) deposited once per savefile. This acts as a preventative measure to mitigate the effects of various duplication glitches, such as the Dialga/Palkia rematch glitch.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuVzL1Wf6-I</ref>
*** This check is determined per savefile rather than by [[Original Trainer]]. This makes it possible to run into this restriction even with official event Pokémon or Pokémon traded from other save files of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl unless the player can trade one of the Pokémon to another game without going through HOME. This cannot be circumvented with multiple HOME accounts, as it will recognize the savefile regardless.
* If a Pokémon from {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} is Hyper Trained in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, it can't be sent back unless it reaches level 100.

===Pokémon storage===
On the free Basic Plan, up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited in one box named the "Basic Box". The Basic Box cannot be manually organized and will always sort Pokémon from most to least recently deposited/traded for (with most recent at the top left). Ties are broken by Pokédex order.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/orange-islands-sqsa-thread.3603112/page-63#post-9241707</ref>

On the Premium Plan, up to 6,000 Pokémon can be deposited in 200 boxes named "HOME 1" through "HOME 200", which can be freely organized as with core series PC boxes. When a Basic Plan is upgraded, all Pokémon in the Basic Box appear in HOME 1; however, the reverse is not true. When a Premium Plan ends, only the 30 Pokémon most recently deposited/traded for 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.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039615831-If-I-deposit-31-or-more-Pok%C3%A9mon-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-and-my-Premium-Plan-expires-what-will-happen-to-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref>

The Nintendo Switch version of HOME has access to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] within every save file from all accounts on the Switch. This means that as long as a save file exists, Pokémon HOME has access to all of the player's Pokémon (except those in the [[party]]), and can use the boxes for local storage, with no need to keep the cartridges or digital installations.

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.

The [[stats judge]] function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.

Pokémon do not display specific met locations while in the Nintendo Switch version of HOME, instead only displaying the region corresponding to their [[game of origin]]. As of v2.0.0, the mobile version will display both a region and a location name within that region, but for Pokémon transferred from the Virtual Console games through Poké Transporter, the latter will simply be a second copy of the region name, and for Pokémon transferred from [[Generation III]] or {{gen|IV}}, the latter location will be displayed as "Poké Shifter" (the transliterated Japanese name for [[Poké Transfer]]).

====Game-specific data and HOME tracker value====
{{Incomplete|section|Check whether contest conditions, sheen, Ribbons, and marks are included in game-specific data or not}}
Depositing any Pokémon into HOME for the first time will assign it a HOME tracker value, a 64-bit number unique to it that is used to detect [[Pokémon cloning|clones]] and other [[Cheating|hacked]] Pokémon. For example, a Pokémon hacked to have a random tracker value can be detected as HOME will not remember having assigned this value in the past. The tracker value is also used for the restriction on newly depositing certain {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon from [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]; a Pokémon is being newly deposited if it does not have a HOME tracker value already. This tracker value is stored with the Pokémon and cannot be changed.

From v2.0.0 onwards, the tracker value is also used to keep track of a Pokémon's game-specific data. Each Pokémon has up to four sets of data depending on which games it has been in: {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. Pokémon from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon GO]], and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] use the same set of data as Sword and Shield as a default. Most Pokémon obtained from gifts within Pokémon HOME itself also default to Sword and Shield, though some default to other games. Data that is not transferred between games is stored in the server, such as:
* A Pokémon's [[move]]sets (including changes to [[PP]] from [[PP Up]]s and [[PP Max]]es), as well as, from v3.0.0 onwards, its {{Abilities}}.
* Met location (and, if applicable, {{pkmn|Egg}} hatch location), included only in the Pokémon's original data set.
* [[Gigantamax]] Factor, [[TR]] flags, and {{DL|Pokémon Camp|sociability}}, included only in the Pokémon's Sword and Shield data set.
* [[Effort level]]s, {{pkmn2|alpha}} status, [[Zisu]]'s [[Training grounds#Move Tutor|Move Tutor]] moves, and [[move mastery]] status, included only in the Pokémon's Legends: Arceus data set.
* [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera Type]], included only in the Pokémon's Scarlet and Violet data set.
For example, the alpha Pokémon flag is not stored in the Pokémon data of games other than Pokémon Legends: Arceus. If a Pokémon from Legends: Arceus is transferred to another game and back, it keeps its alpha flag due to HOME associating the flag with that Pokémon's HOME tracker value, with the flag being retained in its Legends: Arceus set of data.

Pokémon transferred from Bank, GO, or Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, as well as most Pokémon from gifts in HOME, retain their original moves (or, in the case of Pokémon from GO, their moves as determined by [[GO Transporter]]) when transferred to Pokémon Sword and Shield; this is treated as the Sword and Shield moveset for that Pokémon. When a Pokémon is transferred to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Legends: Arceus, or Scarlet and Violet for the first time, or when a Pokémon from any of those games (or a gift in HOME corresponding to any of those games) is transferred to Sword and Shield for the first time, a new moveset is generated for that game's data set, using the four most recent level-up moves of that species in that game. A Pokémon's potential new moveset can be seen while transferring it, but it is not saved until the transfer is complete.

If a {{p|Rotom}} is being transferred with a saved moveset for a particular game that includes the special move for one of its appliance forms, and it later returns to that game in a different form, its saved moveset for that game will be updated to have the move for its new form instead. It will not have the opportunity to retain the special move associated with its previous form.

From v3.0.0 onwards, Abilities are stored in game-specific data. A Pokémon's Legends: Arceus data set does not display an Ability, though it has one that is stored internally, while Pokémon from Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! do not have an Ability until being transferred into another game. From v3.0.0 to v3.1.0, due to a bug, any changes to a Pokémon's Ability using an [[Ability Capsule]] or [[Ability Patch]] in one game would not affect its Ability in other games it already had data for; starting in v3.1.0, any Pokémon affected by this bug that is deposited into HOME is fixed by having the Ability from its most recent game assigned to all of its applicable sets of data.

The set of data displayed when a Pokémon's [[summary]] is viewed in HOME varies. In the Nintendo Switch version prior to v3.0.0, only the Sword and Shield set of data would be displayed for all Pokémon, unless the application was currently connected to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus, in which case the data sets would match this; Pokémon not compatible with any [[Generation VIII]] game would display no [[stat]]s or [[move]]s from v2.0.0 to v3.0.0. Starting in v3.0.0, if Pokémon HOME is currently connected to a game, Pokémon compatible with that game will display the corresponding data set, while others will display the set of the game that they were in most recently; if HOME is not currently connected to a game, the default data set for all Pokémon will be that of the game they were in most recently, but if a Pokémon has multiple sets, they can be switched between using the "Change View" option. The type of [[Poké Ball]] shown will change depending on which set of data is being displayed, though the [[origin mark]] will always be correct. In the mobile version prior to v3.0.0, the set of data displayed for a Pokémon would be that of the game it was in most recently; starting in v3.0.0, the default data set shown matches its most recent game, but other data sets can also be viewed. Both the type of Poké Ball shown and the origin mark will always be correct, as well as the met location.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372709736596-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-Sheen-or-condition-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372695365652-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-effort-levels-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526950194373226497</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6425814626580-Why-can-t-I-see-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-s-moves-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526917289500585984</ref>

===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 Trade]]s and [[Surprise Trade]]s, 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.
* '''[[Global Trade System|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. There is a limit of 10 trades per day, regardless of whether the Basic Plan or Premium Plan is being used.

At least some [[event Pokémon]] appear to be impossible to trade for about a week to a few weeks after their initial release. This restriction applies separately to even different language versions of the same event Pokémon if they are released at different times.<ref>https://reddit.com/r/PokemonHome/comments/k0iagj/is_zarude_trade_locked_again/</ref><ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/a-fools-errand-completing-pokemon-home-without-paying-a-penny-complete.3673315/page-3</ref>

===Pokédex===
{{main|Pokédex (HOME)}}
Pokémon HOME features a [[National Pokédex]] that records information on Pokémon that have been deposited in the Boxes in Pokémon HOME. The mobile version of Pokémon HOME has a section of the Pokédex where [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} are listed and can be registered.

Starting in the v2.0.0 update, the mobile version of Pokémon HOME also features regional Pokédexes for each of the Nintendo Switch core series games and [[Pokémon GO]], which can only be filled with Pokémon [[Game of origin|originating]] from the game in question.

===Mystery Gifts===

{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII}}
{{main|List of other event distributions in Generation VIII#Shiny Zeraora Armorite Ore|List of other event distributions in Generation VIII}}
{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation IX}}
Gifts can be received using the mobile app's [[Mystery Gift]] feature. Pokémon received in this way are placed directly into the storage in Pokémon HOME. The feature can also generate [[serial code]]s for item distributions in a [[Nintendo Switch]] game.

When first starting Pokémon HOME, the player will already have a {{p|Pikachu}} in their storage. When first starting the mobile version in particular (regardless of whether the Nintendo Switch version has been used yet), [[Grand Oak]] will give the player a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, each of which have their [[Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities]]. Various other Pokémon may also be received from the Gift Box in the mobile version for completing certain tasks. Pokémon obtained from gifts in HOME use "Pokémon HOME" as their met location rather than any specific [[region]]; despite this, the majority of them use [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]] as their [[game of origin]], with some using other Nintendo Switch core series games.

===Achievements===
In the mobile version, the player can complete {{OBP|Challenges|HOME}} to unlock stickers.

In the Nintendo Switch version, the player can complete {{OBP|Research Task|HOME}}s.

===Medals===
Starting in the v3.3.0 update, players can obtain digital souvenirs called {{OBP|medal|HOME}}s by going to certain real-life Pokémon-related locations or participating in events.

===Points===
Pokémon HOME Points serve as a currency of sorts, replacing [[Poké Mile]]s from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Every midnight UTC, the player gains a Pokémon HOME Point for every 31 stored Pokémon (rounded down). This calculation includes any inaccessible Pokémon the player may have in HOME as a result of a downgrade to the free plan. An account can accumulate a maximum of 99,999 Points at once.

Pokémon HOME Points can be converted and transferred into [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]] games in the Nintendo Switch version:
* 30 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 [[Battle Point]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* 20 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 Battle Point in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 1 [[Merit Point]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 10 [[League Point]]s in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

===Move Reminder===
The 3.0.0 update added [[Move Reminder]] functionality in the Nintendo Switch version. The moves that can be learned through this feature are the standard [[level]] up moves for the game in use, as well as any moves in other game movesets (including both current moves and moves flagged as re-learnable) that are legal for the game in use. For example, a {{p|Tauros}} that knows {{m|Take Down}} in its [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] moveset can be taught Take Down in its [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] moveset using this feature, as Tauros can be taught Take Down in Scarlet and Violet via [[TM]]. However, a {{p|Moltres}} with {{m|Burn Up}} in its Pokémon Sword and Shield moveset cannot be taught Burn Up in its Pokémon Scarlet and Violet moveset, as Moltres cannot learn Burn Up in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet by any means.

This feature is the only way to access several otherwise [[Egg Move#Unobtainable Egg Moves|unobtainable Egg Moves]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

===Pokémon Guidebook===
The Pokémon Guidebook is a feature added to the mobile version of Pokémon HOME in the version 3.2.2 update. Similar to the Pokédex, it is a list of all Pokémon with entries for each one. However, it shows the official artwork for each Pokémon rather than their HOME renders, does not list {{Abilities}} and [[base stats]], and lacks some of the Pokédex's features, such as viewing models, viewing {{Shiny}} forms, height comparison, and [[foreign Pokédex entry|foreign Pokédex entries]]. It also lacks the ability to view Pokédex entries from different games; instead, each Pokémon only has one entry shown, which is [[Pokédex entry recycling|reused]] from a core series game.

The entries in the Pokémon Guidebook also have three sections not present in the Pokédex: "Forms" (which shows or describes any alternate forms the Pokémon has), "Appears In" (which lists the Nintendo Switch core series games that the Pokémon can be obtained in, not counting {{pkmn2|event}}s or [[save data bonus]]es), and "Related Videos" (which, for certain Pokémon, lists one or more official [[YouTube]] videos they appear in). The list of Pokémon can be filtered to only show Pokémon with a certain name, [[type]](s), form (i.e. [[Mega Evolution]]s, [[Gigantamax]] forms, [[Alolan form]]s, [[Galarian form]]s, [[Hisuian form]]s, or [[Paldean form]]s), Nintendo Switch core series game they are obtainable in, and that have or do not have videos featured in their entries.

The following Pokémon's entries have at least one video featured in the "Related Videos" section:

The same video can appear in the entries for multiple Pokémon.

Some alternate forms of Pokémon have their own separate entries. The "Forms" section of an entry shows images of that Pokémon's forms, which each link to that form's entry. [[Regional form]]s (and Bloodmoon {{p|Ursaluna}}) are also included separately in the main list of Pokémon, while other forms' entries are only accessible from the "Forms" sections. Certain forms (mainly those without official artwork) do not have their own entries and are instead described in text in the "Forms" section.

The following Pokémon have separate entries for each of their forms:
<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show list"data-collapsetext="Hide list">

Additionally, all [[Gigantamax]] forms, [[Mega Evolution]]s, and [[regional form]]s (including all three breeds of {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}) have separate entries.

The following Pokémon have alternate forms that do not have their own entries, instead being described in text in the entry for the Pokémon:
<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show list"data-collapsetext="Hide list">

[[Pikachu in a cap]], {{p|Genesect}}'s [[drive]] forms, [[Greninja (Pokémon)|Ash-Greninja]], [[Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}, [[Zarude (Pokémon)|Dada Zarude]], and {{p|Terapagos}}'s Stellar Form are not acknowledged at all by the Pokémon Guidebook, despite being considered different forms in the Pokédex. However, all forms that do have entries use the same names as they do in the Pokédex, meaning Genesect has the name of its form shown despite not having any other forms listed (a trait shared with {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}). [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|Gender differences]] are also not acknowledged, except for those of Unfezant, Frillish, Jellicent, Pyroar, Meowstic, Indeedee, Basculegion, and Oinkologne.

==Trivia==
* All of the Pokémon appear in Pokémon HOME posed in the same position as their official art, with Pokémon from the [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} taking on their poses from their redesigned art from Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} respectively.
** Furthermore, [[Shiny Pokémon]] appear as Shiny, instead of their usual colorations, and [[gender differences]] are visible.
** In the Nintendo Switch version, these static renders are used on the [[summary]] screen. On the mobile version, full 3D models are used instead, though the renders are still used as menu sprites like in the Switch version. As a result, the location of {{p|Spinda}}'s spots is only visible in the mobile version, as Spinda's render does not change to match its spots.
** In the Nintendo Switch version, some of these renders were improved in version 1.2.<ref>https://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo_switch/pokemonhome/</ref>
* 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.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_HOME_(iOS,_Android) TCRF - Pokémon HOME (iOS / Android) unused content]</ref>
* The Nintendo Switch and mobile versions cannot be used at the same time with the same account.
* Prior to version 1.1, Friend Trades were restricted to local trades only and could only be performed three times per day, and Wonder Box trades took six hours to complete. To celebrate the release of version 1.1, which released during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] limiting in-person gatherings, the local trade restriction was lifted, the daily Friend Trade limit increased to 10, and the Wonder Box duration decreased to one hour. All of these changes were initially intended to be temporary,<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2020/05/200522_gm02.html スマートフォン版『Pokémon HOME』アップデートのお知らせ｜ポケットモンスターオフィシャルサイト]</ref> but they were never reverted.
* The [[regional Pokédex]] for [[Pokémon GO]] that was added to the mobile version in v2.0.0 contains every Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] (except for [[Mythical Pokémon]]), which includes Pokémon that have not been released in Pokémon GO, as well as [[GO Transporter#Restrictions|certain Pokémon that cannot be transferred from Pokémon GO]] such as {{p|Spinda}}, thus making it impossible to complete this Pokédex.
* Each HOME account generates its own [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and [[Trainer ID number#Secret ID|secret ID]], which is assigned to some Pokémon received from [[Mystery Gift]]s in HOME. To prevent these Pokémon with a [[personality value]] of <code>00000000</code> (hexadecimal) from being {{Shiny}}, rather than assigning a different personality value, HOME will never generate an account's ID numbers where the combination results in that personality value being calculated as Shiny.<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/issues/3007</ref>
* Prior to HOME's major v2.0.0 update, the servers went down for maintenance between 00:00 UTC and 06:00 UTC on May 18, 2022. Afterward, users were given staggered login times for 19 hours (until 01:00 UTC May 19, 2022) to reduce server load. However, newly created accounts after the maintenance were not staggered and could log in immediately.
* A total of 10 Pokémon cannot be transferred out of Pokémon HOME into any [[Generation VIII]] or [[Generation IX|IX]] game: {{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Patrat}}, {{p|Watchog}}, {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Simisear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, {{p|Simipour}}, and {{p|Furfrou}}.
** All other than Spinda have been confirmed to appear in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].
** Additionally, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}} and {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}} cannot be transferred out of HOME into any Generation VIII or IX game.
** Spinda, Patrat, Watchog, Pansage, Simisage, Pansear, Simisear, Panpour, Simipour, Furfrou, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, and {{p|Magearna}} are the only Pokémon that cannot currently be obtained in Pokémon HOME without transferring them from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[Pokémon GO]] (though {{p|Melmetal}} requires a transfer from GO to be obtained, it does not have to be Melmetal that is transferred as any transfer allows a [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII#Pokémon GO Melmetal|Melmetal]] to be obtained in HOME).
*** Spinda and Magearna are the only Pokémon that cannot currently be obtained in Pokémon HOME without transferring them from Pokémon Bank.
* Transferring a Pokémon with a [[List of censored words|censored word]] according to the Nintendo Switch system in its [[nickname]] from [[Pokémon Bank]] to Pokémon HOME does not erase the nickname, unlike when transferring Pokémon to Bank via [[Poké Transporter]].

The '''2024 Pokémon World Championships''' was held in {{wp|Honolulu}}, {{wp|Hawaii}}, {{wp|United States}} on August 16-18, 2024. It was the nineteenth invitation-only world championships for players of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], the fourteenth for players of the Pokémon video games, and the third for players of [[Pokémon GO]] and [[Pokémon UNITE]]. It was the sixteenth time the [[World Championships|Pokémon World Championships]] has been held in the U.S., and the fourth time the event has been held in Hawaii, having previously been held in {{wp|Waikoloa Village, Hawaii|Waikoloa Village}} in [[2007 World Championships (TCG)|2007]], [[2010 World Championships (TCG)|2010]] and [[2012 World Championships|2012]].

==Trading Card Game Championships==
The {{TCG|2024-25 Standard format}} was used for the Pokémon TCG Championships, allowing all cards with regulation mark F or later.

The top cut for some rating zones were able to go straight to Day Two: the Top 2 of the Middle East and South Africa, Top 4 of Oceania, Top 12 of Latin America, Top 16 of US and Canada, and Top 22 of Europe.

Day One was composed of Swiss rounds, with players earning enough match points moving on to Day Two. These players continued playing Swiss rounds on Day Two, and at the conclusion of the Swiss rounds players with match points equal to or greater than the 8th placed player in the post Swiss standings were placed in an asymmetrical single elimination bracket, with the finals taking place on Day Three. All games were best of three.

===Junior Division===
Shao Tong Yen was the defending champion but was eligible for the Senior Division. He was knocked out on Day Two with a record of 7/3/0.

Sakuya Ota became the new TCG Junior Division World Champion with a final record of 12/2/0.

==Video Game Championships==
Players in territories managed by [[The Pokémon Company International]] received invitations from either: gaining enough Championship Points throughout the year, winning a Regional Championship, winning a Special Event in Europe, or coming first or second at an International Championship. Players in Asian territories (managed by [[The Pokémon Company]] and Pokémon Korea) earned invites by placing well in their respective National Championships, which were qualified for via in-game Official Competitions via [[Battle Stadium]]. Additionally, the top 4 in each age division from the previous Pokémon World Championships received an automatic invite.

Top Championship Point earners in the TPCi rating zones received a round 1 bye: the Top 4 of Oceania, Top 8 of Latin America, Top 12 of the US and Canada, and Top 16 of Europe. The round 1 bye was also given to top finishers in the various Asian National Championships. This replaced the automatic Day 2 invitation players could earn in previous years.

Day One was composed of Swiss rounds, with players earning enough match points moving on to Day Two. These players continued playing Swiss rounds on Day Two, and at the conclusion of the Swiss rounds players with match points equal to or greater than the 8th placed player in the post Swiss standings were placed in an asymmetrical single elimination bracket, with the finals taking place on Day Three. All games were best of three.

Matches took place in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] and were all [[Double Battle]]s. Levels for all Pokémon were adjusted to level 50 and no duplicate Pokémon or items were allowed. Battles used the Regulation G ruleset which allowed for every Pokémon available in Scarlet and Violet, except for [[Mythical Pokémon]] and {{a|Battle Bond}} {{p|Greninja}}, however players were restricted to one [[Special Pokémon]] per team.

===Junior Division===
Sora Ebisawa was the defending champion but did not attend Worlds.

Kevin Han, the Junior Division Champion at both the North American and European International Championships, became the new World Champion.

[[File:Pokémon UNITE Championships Series logo.png|thumb|right|Pokémon UNITE Championships Series logo]]
Teams qualified for the Pokémon UNITE Championships by having the most Championship Points within their regional zone, winning their Regional Finals, or winning the Aeos Cup or Final Stretch tournaments. Regional zones had the following number of invitations: four from Asia-Pacific West and Asia-Pacific East; three from North America, Europe, Latin America - North, and Japan; two from Brazil, Latin America - South, and Oceania; and one from Korea and India.

All matches were 5-on-5 and took place on [[Theia Sky Ruins]]. Players were allowed to play on any of the three available platforms. Day One had the teams compete in a best of three Single Round Robin bracket to determine Top 16. On Day Two, the Top 16 competed in a best of three single elimination bracket, with finals being best of five.

Luminosity Gaming were the defending champions but were knocked out in the group stage.

The Japanese regional champions FENNEL (Shouki "py1" Takada, Yumeto "yume爱" Tanabe, Haruki "TON•GG" Yoshiura, Mashika "Ma•shio" Shirakawa, Yuma "Lucapo" Sato, and Ryuto "Panchop" Isamu) defeated Korea's XoraTigersGaming to become the new Pokémon Unite World Champions.

{{samename|competition in {{aniseries|JN|''Pokémon Journeys''}} known as the "Pokémon World Championships" in Japanese|World Coronation Series}}
[[File:Pokémon World Championships logo.png|thumb|250px|Logo]]
The '''Pokémon World Championships''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンワールドチャンピオンシップス''' ''Pokémon World Championships'') are an annual event held by the [[Play! Pokémon]] organized play division of [[The Pokémon Company International]]. They function as the finals for both the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and [[Core series|Video Game]] Championships. Since 2015, the World Championships have also featured events for [[spin-off Pokémon games]], namely [[Pokkén Tournament]], [[Pokémon GO]], and [[Pokémon UNITE]]. The Pokémon World Championships are held annually, occurring every August.

Competitors usually must qualify for the event based on their performance in other events in the same season, such as regional championships, national championships, dedicated qualifying tournaments, or the previous year's World Championships. The exact qualification requirements depend on the year, the region the player is from, and the game in which they are playing.

While the Pokémon World Championships are held as a single unified event featuring multiple different games, each of the games are run as an entirely separate tournament. Competitors compete in only one of the featured games, and the qualification requirements of each are entirely separate. Additionally, competitors usually are separated into one of three age groups, meaning that three world champions are crowned for each game each year.

Minor announcements are usually made during the events, such as upcoming VGC mechanics and variants of TCG cards, the ruleset of the following VGC format, and the city where the next World Championships will be hosted.

==History==
===Predecessors===
Before the introduction of the modern Pokémon World Championships, both the TCG and video games held some international competitions.

For the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the [[Pokémon Tropical Mega Battle]] was an international Pokémon Trading Card Game tournament held annually from 1999 to 2002 in Hawaii by [[Wizards of the Coast]] (the distributor of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in many regions outside of Japan at the time). Players from Canada, Latin America, Europe, the United States, and Japan were invited to the event. After Wizards of the Coast's license to distribute the Pokémon Trading Card Game reverted to The Pokémon Company in 2003, this event was replaced by the Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships.

In September 2000, to coincide with the {{wp|2000 Summer Olympics}} in Sydney, Australia, the [[2000 World Championships|first ever Pokémon World Championship]] was also held in Sydney. Players from Australia, Belgium, {{pmin|France}}, {{pmin|Germany}}, {{pmin|the Netherlands}}, {{pmin|Spain}}, {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, and {{pmin|the United States}} competed using {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and {{game|Yellow}}. This was a one-time event, with a video game World Championship not being held again until 2009.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships===
In August 2002, Wizards of the Coast held the [[2002 World Championships (TCG)|first Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championship]] in Seattle, Washington in the United States.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230908043639/https://indexarticles.com/business/business-wire/first-ever-pokemon-trading-card-game-world-champion-titles-won-by-dylan-austin-14-of-ann-arbor-michigan-and-mindy-lambkee-10-of-kent-washington/ First-Ever Pokemon Trading Card Game World Champion Titles Won by Dylan Austin, 14 of Ann Arbor, Michigan and Mindy Lambkee, 10 of Kent, Washington]</ref>

Due to the transfer of the licensing of the Pokémon Trading Card Game from Wizards to Nintendo, no World Championship was held in 2003. Now with control of the Pokémon Trading Card Game licence, [[Pokémon USA]] formed [[Pokémon Organized Play]] to manage Pokémon Trading Card Game events.

In August 2004, Pokémon Organized Play held the {{TCG|2004 World Championships|2004 Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships}}. From 2004 to 2008, the event was titled the Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships, reflecting the fact that it was specifically for the Pokémon Trading Card Game only.

At the {{TCG|2008 World Championships|2008 Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships}}, a special video game event called the [[Pokémon Video Game Showdown 2008]] was held. This event featured players from the United States and Japan competing with {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. However, since only two countries were involved, the winner was not awarded the title of world champion.

===Pokémon World Championships===
In August 2009, the first unified Pokémon World Championships were held, featuring both the Pokémon Trading Card Game and the Pokémon Video Game Championships. This format has continued until the present.

From 2015 to 2022, [[Pokkén Tournament]] was also featured at the Pokémon World Championships. In 2015, the Pokkén Tournament competition was run as an invitational due to the lack of preliminary events. After the 2022 World Championships, it was announced that Pokkén Tournament would no longer appear at the Pokémon World Championships.

Starting in 2019, [[Pokémon GO]] was added to the Pokémon World Championships. In 2019, the Pokémon GO competition was run as an invitational due to the lack of preliminary events.

Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the planned 2020 Pokémon World Championships to be held in London, England were cancelled, and the event also was not held in 2021. The World Championships returned with the [[2022 World Championships|2022 Pokémon World Championships]], held in London, England like the original 2020 plan.

Starting in 2022, [[Pokémon UNITE]] was added to the Pokémon World Championships.

==Events==
Since 2004, the Pokémon World Championships have been held annually, except in 2020 and 2021 due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].

==Video Game Championship==
The [[core series]] Pokémon games were first featured at a Nintendo-organized World Championship event in 2000 with single battles, and later returning as [[Pokémon Video Game Showdown]] (VGS) in 2008 as a side-event to the [[2008 World Championships (TCG)|2008 Trading Card Game World Championships]] with double battles. Starting in 2009, the events were renamed the Video Game Championships (VGC).

Battles [[Rule variants|use the following rules]] in general:
* The format is [[Double Battle]]s. A player must bring between 4 and 6 Pokémon and select 4 of them just before the battle. In games that use Team Preview ([[Generation V]] onward), this selection is made after viewing the opponent's 6 Pokémon.
* Two Pokémon may not have the same Pokédex number. [[Special Pokémon]], [[Mythical Pokémon]], and [[Ash-Greninja]] are disallowed (but not Dusk Form {{p|Lycanroc}}) unless the format has an exception.
** The [[Soul Dew]] was disallowed until [[Generation VII]], where its effect changed.
** {{pkmn2|Event}}-exclusive [[Event Pokémon#Event-exclusive moves|moves]] and [[event item|items]] are allowed unless the format explicitly says otherwise.
* Between [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VIII]], Pokémon must have an [[origin mark]] matching the games used for the competition. This may be substituted with the [[battle-ready symbol]].
* Two Pokémon may not have the same [[held item]].
* Pokémon cannot battle above level 50.
** In 2008 and 2009, there was no auto-leveling and Pokémon above level 50 were disallowed outright.
** Between 2010 and 2016, Pokémon above level 50 were auto-leveled down to 50, but Pokémon below level 50 were not auto-leveled up.
** From 2017 onward, all Pokémon are auto-leveled to 50.
* Two Pokémon may not have the same nickname. A Pokémon may not be nicknamed the name of a different Pokémon, and nicknames and Trainer names may not be inappropriate.

* '''[[2022 World Championships|2022]]''' — {{g|Sword and Shield}}
** Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the 2020 and 2021 World Championships were canceled and the season was eventually extended to last three years with several different series.
** All Pokémon that were obtainable at the beginning of a series were allowed for that series, including those [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number#Compatible Pokémon not in any Galar Pokédex|not in any of the Galar Pokédexes]], as long as they met all other requirements (such as having the [[Galar symbol]]/[[battle-ready symbol]] and not being Special/Mythical). As a result:
*** Version 1.1.0 and [[Pokémon HOME]] released before Series 3, [[The Isle of Armor]] released before Series 5, and [[The Crown Tundra]] released before Series 7.
*** Between Series 1 and 2, only [[Gdex|Galar Pokédex]] Pokémon were allowed due to the only obtainable Pokémon outside the Galar Pokédex being {{p|Mew}}. The only non-Galarian forms allowed were Kantonian {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Persian}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and Unovan {{p|Yamask}} due to those being the only obtainable ones at the time.
*** Between Series 3 and 4, all non-Galarian forms of compatible Pokémon were allowed except three: Alolan {{p|Raichu}} and Kantonian {{p|Weezing}} were not obtainable with the Galar symbol at the time, and Kantonian {{p|Slowpoke}} was not compatible with Sword and Shield at the time (only Galarian Slowpoke was). {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} were compatible but disallowed due to the battle-ready symbol not existing at the time.
** List of series:
*** Series 1 (Nov 19 - Dec 31, 2019): All [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon were disallowed.
*** Series 2 (Jan 4 - Feb 29, 2020): Gigantamax Pikachu, Eevee, Butterfree, Drednaw, Corviknight, Sandaconda, Centiskorch, {{a|Blaze}} Charizard, Meowth (event-only), and Snorlax (event-only) became allowed.

* '''[[2023 Pokémon World Championships|2023]]''' — {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}
** Both players must disclose their team to their opponent (including Tera Type, species, forms, moves, Abilities, and held items, but excluding stats).
** On March 1, 2023, series were renamed Regulation Sets ('''レギュレーション''' ''Regulations''), with Series 1 and Series 2 retroactively renamed. The season was split into the following series:
*** Regulation Set A (Dec 2, 2022 - Jan 31, 2023):<ref>[https://victoryroadvgc.com/2023-tainan/ 2023 Tainan Regionals] - By Alberto Núñez, VictoryRoadVGC.com, December 1, 2022.</ref> Only Pokémon in the [[Pdex|Paldea Pokédex]] were allowed. Pokémon and regional forms not in the Paldea Pokédex, such as {{p|Quagsire}} and Johtonian {{p|Wooper}}, were disallowed. [[Paradox Pokémon]] and the [[treasures of ruin]] were also disallowed.
*** Regulation Set B (Feb 1 - Mar 31, 2023): Paradox Pokémon became allowed.
*** Regulation Set C (Apr 1 - Jun 30, 2023): The treasures of ruin became allowed.
**** Prior to the release of [[Pokémon HOME]] compatibility, the Japanese and Chinese rulesets consistently stated (for all three regulation sets) that a Scarlet and Violet origin mark was required,<ref>https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/ja/page/36.html</ref><ref>https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/tc/page/36.html</ref> while the English/French/Italian/German/Spanish rulesets consistently stated (for all three regulation sets) that Pokémon transferred from HOME would become allowed when the feature was released.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230528124948/https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-vg-rules-formats-and-penalty-guidelines-03252023-en.pdf</ref> (No ruleset was published in Korean due to all Korean Scarlet/Violet tournaments up to that point being conducted online.)
**** When HOME compatibility was released, the English/French/Italian/German/Spanish ruleset was changed to state that a Scarlet and Violet origin mark was required for the rest of the series (with the only competitive effect being to disallow Roaming Form [[Gimmighoul]]).
**** Regardless of these regional inconsistencies and changes, the HOME update also caused [[Plate]]s and six certain [[Egg Move]]s ({{m|Heal Bell}}, {{m|Simple Beam}}, {{m|Cosmic Power}}, {{m|Raging Fury}}, {{m|Barb Barrage}}, and {{m|Psyshield Bash}}<ref>https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/ja/page/114.html</ref>) to become newly available and allowed immediately in all regions, at approximately 4pm JST May 30.
**** Players competing in events in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, and Hong Kong between June 3–4, who were required to lock in their teams by 9am May 31, were sent an email at 11:10pm May 30 stating that the newly available Plates and Egg Moves would be disallowed for those events.<ref>[https://victoryroadvgc.com/2023-singapore/ 2023 Singapore National Championships] - By Alberto Núñez, VictoryRoadVGC.com, April 28, 2023.</ref> Players competing in Japan between June 10–11 were sent a similar email on June 1. Events in other locations on the same days were unaffected and Plates/the Egg Moves were allowed.
*** Regulation Set D (Jul 1 - Sep 30, 2023): Pokémon and forms outside the Paldea Pokédex became allowed, except [[Walking Wake]] and [[Iron Leaves]].
**** Before the release of [[The Teal Mask]] on September 13, a "Temporary Post-Release Restriction Clause" was added to the ruleset disallowing any traits exclusive to The Teal Mask for the rest of the series (Pokémon, forms, moves, and items), such as the [[Kee Berry]]. (For example, this applied to the Curitiba Regionals in Brazil on September 23–24.<ref>https://victoryroadvgc.com/2024-curitiba/</ref>)
*** Regulation Set E (Oct 1, 2023 - Jan 3, 2024): Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]] and Pokémon made [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number#Since Version 2.0.1|available]] in the 2.0.1 update became allowed.
**** Before the release of [[The Indigo Disk]] on December 14, a "Temporary Post-Release Restriction Clause" was added to the ruleset disallowing any traits exclusive to The Indigo Disk for the rest of the series (Pokémon, moves, items, and the [[Stellar]] Tera Type). (For example, this applied to the San Antonio Regionals on December 16–17.<ref>https://victoryroadvgc.com/2024-san-antonio/</ref>)
*** Regulation Set F (Jan 4 - Apr 30, 2024): Pokémon in the [[BBdex|Blueberry Pokédex]] and Pokémon made [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number#Since Version 3.0.0|available]] in the 3.0.0 update became allowed, including {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}}.
*** Regulation Set G (May 1 - Aug 31, 2024 and Jan 6 to Apr 30, 2025): Up to one Special Pokémon was allowed.
*** Regulation Set H (Sep 1, 2024 - Jan 5, 2025): Legendary and Paradox Pokémon became disallowed.

When series may overlap at the start or end of a year, events may use either of the two formats. For example, the Korean League Season 1 on December 15–16, 2019 used 2020 Series 1 rules, while the Kuala Lumpur Regionals on December 21–22, 2019 used 2019 Ultra Series rules.<ref>[https://victoryroadvgc.com/2020-season-events/ Pokémon VGC events for the 2020 Season] - By Victory Road, VictoryRoadVGC.com, September 6, 2019.</ref>

===Broadcasting===
* In 2008, for at least the semifinals onward, players connected their [[Nintendo DS]]es to a modified, unreleased version of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. The modified game featured a unique remix of ''Battle! (Team Galactic Boss)'' seemingly arranged for the event, as well as no region- or language-locking.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd-KigvdnzM Pokemon TCG Worlds 2008: VG Showdown Juniors Final] - YouTube.com</ref> No Battle Revolution-specific clauses were set.
* In 2009, for at least the semifinals onward, players connected their Nintendo DSes to a modified, unreleased version of Pokémon Battle Revolution. The modified game featured Platinum outfits for {{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Lucas}} as well as no region- or language-locking.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICRdjvaUQM8 571 - The VGC 2009 Battle Revolution Platinum mystery + LIVE! Shiny Rotom after 20,948 SRs!] - YouTube.com</ref>
* Between 2010 and 2019, only the top screen of the Nintendo DS or [[Nintendo 3DS]] was broadcast in order to prevent revealing a player's move selections.
* From 2022 onward, a third console is connected to the two competitors' consoles in LAN spectator mode in order to prevent revealing a player's move selections (for western tournaments in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], the game is displayed from the perspective of one player's console, but Asian tournaments and the top 16 in the 2023 Pokémon World Championships used the spectator mode).

===World Champions===
As of the 2023 season, 45 champions have been crowned during the core series games' tenure as one of the games in the World Championships roster, with Ray Rizzo being the most successful, winning the title three times.

===In the games===
====In-game effects====
Starting from [[Pokémon Video Game Showdown 2008]] (and excluding VGC 2010), aesthetic changes are made to the link battle arena during the World Championships. These tend to come in the form of a unique battle background made specifically for the event, but can also change the music, either by using a track unique to the World Championships (such as ''Pokémon World Championships Final'', used from [[Generation V]] to [[Generation VII]]) or by locking music selection to a pre-existing track.

====In-game appearances====
In {{B2W2}}, the top four competitors from each division of the Video Game Championships from the [[2012 World Championships]] were featured in the [[World Championships Tournament]]s in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. In the [[Generation VI]] games, {{DL|Pokémon X and Y beta|Battle Maison|unused text}} exists for the top three competitors as opponents in the [[Battle Maison]].

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, several NPCs at the [[Battle Resort]] mention the Pokémon World Championships.

===Trivia===
* It is possible for moves to become {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive at a World Championship format despite not being event-exclusive normally. For example, {{m|Bounce}} was an event-exclusive move on {{p|Gyarados}} in VGC 2017 only, as it otherwise needs a [[Move Tutor]] to learn Bounce and so could not have the [[black clover]] at the time.
* The Kalos [[first partner Pokémon]] were effectively event-exclusive between 2023 Regulation Sets D and E, due to being unobtainable in any previous Switch game and requiring an old install of [[Pokémon Bank]].
* While event-exclusive Pokémon, moves, and items have been disallowed, event-exclusive [[Hidden Abilities]] have always been allowed.
* The first half of 2020 is the only time that non-event Pokémon have been disallowed because of rarity. Specifically, Gigantamax Pokémon that were rarely available normally in-game did not become allowed until the start of the first [[Wild Area News]] event that temporarily made them more common. This would become moot with the release of The Isle of Armor, which would make all relevant Gigantamax Pokémon available without relying on rarity.
* Between approximately October 2020 and March 2021, at least the English language rulebook mistakenly implied {{p|Regigigas}} was disallowed (by omitting its National Pokédex number from the list of allowed Pokémon that do not have a Galar/Isle of Armor/Crown Tundra Pokédex number).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201027152813/https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-vg-rules-formats-and-penalty-guidelines-10232020-en.pdf Video Game Rules, Formats & Penalty Guidelines] - Date of last revision: October 23, 2020 - Pokémon.com</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210126052431/https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-vg-rules-formats-and-penalty-guidelines-01252021-en.pdf Video Game Rules, Formats & Penalty Guidelines] - Date of last revision: January 25, 2021 - Pokémon.com</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210511201450/https://assets.pokemon.com/assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-vg-rules-formats-and-penalty-guidelines-03292021-en.pdf Video Game Rules, Formats & Penalty Guidelines] - Date of last revision: March 29, 2021 - Pokémon.com</ref> This was fixed sometime in or before February 2022.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220309173223/https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-vg-rules-formats-and-penalty-guidelines-02152022-en.pdf Video Game Rules, Formats & Penalty Guidelines] - Date of last revision: February 15, 2022 - Pokémon.com</ref>
* Coincidentally, in the 2022 edition's Masters Division finals for the core series video games, players Eduardo Cunha and Guillermo Castilla Diaz represented the basis of the [[Paldea]] region (the {{wp|Iberian Peninsula}}), the setting of the [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] games.
* To promote the then-upcoming 2023 World Championships, the [[Battle Stadium]] within [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] had animated fireworks in its home screen and battle preview. It was later done again for the 2024 tournament.

==Scheduling and matchups==
{{Outdated|section}}
The Championships are set over three days (four starting with the 2022 event) with a last chance qualifier (known to players as "The Grinder") on the Friday to fill seats left vacant for various reasons (no travel, local qualifiers) until all seats are filled. The second day is limited to Swiss Pairings over a set number of rounds, and the top players (16 each in the Junior and Senior Divisions, as well as the top 32 in the Masters division) move onto the Sunday rounds. The format for this final is single elimination, until the finals, which are a best two matches out of three to decide the World Champion. There are three divisions: Junior (known as the 10 Years Old and Under Division until 2006), Senior (known as the 11 to 14 Year Old Division until 2006) and Masters (called the 15 Years and Older Division until 2006). In 2010, a Last Chance Qualifier was held on Friday to fill all vacant spots. In 2011, a Masters age Division was added to the VGC scene to parallel the TCG. The event format consists of Swiss rounds, followed by a single elimination tournament. In 2009, the top two advanced to play the finals on Sunday, whereas since 2010, the top eight advance to play in a head-to-head single elimination event to decide the World Champions.

[[Challenge the World!]], a trailer for the [[2023 Pokémon World Championships]], shows a fictional version of that event. Each of the events, GO, UNITE, TCG, and VGC, has a sequence in which the battles are presented in animated form. The framing device for this is that each member of a friend group is partaking in one of the events. The main character wins a match as part of the VGC event.

[[File:Pokémon World Championships logo.png|thumb|250px|Logo]]
The '''Pokémon World Championships''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンワールドチャンピオンシップス''' ''Pokémon World Championships'') are an annual event held by the [[Play! Pokémon]] organized play division of [[The Pokémon Company International]]. They function as the finals for both the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and [[Core series|Video Game]] Championships. Since 2015, the World Championships have also featured events for [[spin-off Pokémon games]], namely [[Pokkén Tournament]], [[Pokémon GO]], and [[Pokémon UNITE]]. The Pokémon World Championships are held annually, occurring every August.

Competitors usually must qualify for the event based on their performance in other events in the same season, such as regional championships, national championships, dedicated qualifying tournaments, or the previous year's World Championships. The exact qualification requirements depend on the year, the region the player is from, and the game in which they are playing.

While the Pokémon World Championships are held as a single unified event featuring multiple different games, each of the games are run as an entirely separate tournament. Competitors compete in only one of the featured games, and the qualification requirements of each are entirely separate. Additionally, competitors usually are separated into one of three age groups, meaning that three world champions are crowned for each game each year.

Minor announcements are usually made during the events, such as upcoming VGC mechanics and variants of TCG cards, the ruleset of the following VGC format, and the city where the next World Championships will be hosted.

==History==
===Predecessors===
Before the introduction of the modern Pokémon World Championships, both the TCG and video games held some international competitions.

For the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the [[Pokémon Tropical Mega Battle]] was an international Pokémon Trading Card Game tournament held annually from 1999 to 2002 in Hawaii by [[Wizards of the Coast]] (the distributor of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in many regions outside of Japan at the time). Players from Canada, Latin America, Europe, the United States, and Japan were invited to the event. After Wizards of the Coast's license to distribute the Pokémon Trading Card Game reverted to The Pokémon Company in 2003, this event was replaced by the Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships.

In September 2000, to coincide with the {{wp|2000 Summer Olympics}} in Sydney, Australia, the [[2000 World Championships|first ever Pokémon World Championship]] was also held in Sydney. Players from Australia, Belgium, {{pmin|France}}, {{pmin|Germany}}, {{pmin|the Netherlands}}, {{pmin|Spain}}, {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, and {{pmin|the United States}} competed using {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and {{game|Yellow}}. This was a one-time event, with a video game World Championship not being held again until 2009.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships===
In August 2002, Wizards of the Coast held the [[2002 World Championships (TCG)|first Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championship]] in Seattle, Washington in the United States.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230908043639/https://indexarticles.com/business/business-wire/first-ever-pokemon-trading-card-game-world-champion-titles-won-by-dylan-austin-14-of-ann-arbor-michigan-and-mindy-lambkee-10-of-kent-washington/ First-Ever Pokemon Trading Card Game World Champion Titles Won by Dylan Austin, 14 of Ann Arbor, Michigan and Mindy Lambkee, 10 of Kent, Washington]</ref>

Due to the transfer of the licensing of the Pokémon Trading Card Game from Wizards to Nintendo, no World Championship was held in 2003. Now with control of the Pokémon Trading Card Game licence, [[Pokémon USA]] formed [[Pokémon Organized Play]] to manage Pokémon Trading Card Game events.

In August 2004, Pokémon Organized Play held the {{TCG|2004 World Championships|2004 Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships}}. From 2004 to 2008, the event was titled the Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships, reflecting the fact that it was specifically for the Pokémon Trading Card Game only.

At the {{TCG|2008 World Championships|2008 Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships}}, a special video game event called the [[Pokémon Video Game Showdown 2008]] was held. This event featured players from the United States and Japan competing with {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. However, since only two countries were involved, the winner was not awarded the title of world champion.

===Pokémon World Championships===
In August 2009, the first unified Pokémon World Championships were held, featuring both the Pokémon Trading Card Game and the Pokémon Video Game Championships. This format has continued until the present.

From 2015 to 2022, [[Pokkén Tournament]] was also featured at the Pokémon World Championships. In 2015, the Pokkén Tournament competition was run as an invitational due to the lack of preliminary events. After the 2022 World Championships, it was announced that Pokkén Tournament would no longer appear at the Pokémon World Championships.

Starting in 2019, [[Pokémon GO]] was added to the Pokémon World Championships. In 2019, the Pokémon GO competition was run as an invitational due to the lack of preliminary events.

Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the planned 2020 Pokémon World Championships to be held in London, England were cancelled, and the event also was not held in 2021. The World Championships returned with the [[2022 World Championships|2022 Pokémon World Championships]], held in London, England like the original 2020 plan.

Starting in 2022, [[Pokémon UNITE]] was added to the Pokémon World Championships.

==Events==
Since 2004, the Pokémon World Championships have been held annually, except in 2020 and 2021 due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].

==Video Game Championship==
The [[core series]] Pokémon games were first featured at a Nintendo-organized World Championship event in 2000 with single battles, and later returning as [[Pokémon Video Game Showdown]] (VGS) in 2008 as a side-event to the [[2008 World Championships (TCG)|2008 Trading Card Game World Championships]] with double battles. Starting in 2009, the events were renamed the Video Game Championships (VGC).

Battles [[Rule variants|use the following rules]] in general:
* The format is [[Double Battle]]s. A player must bring between 4 and 6 Pokémon and select 4 of them just before the battle. In games that use Team Preview ([[Generation V]] onward), this selection is made after viewing the opponent's 6 Pokémon.
* Two Pokémon may not have the same Pokédex number. [[Special Pokémon]], [[Mythical Pokémon]], and [[Ash-Greninja]] are disallowed (but not Dusk Form {{p|Lycanroc}}) unless the format has an exception.
** The [[Soul Dew]] was disallowed until [[Generation VII]], where its effect changed.
** {{pkmn2|Event}}-exclusive [[Event Pokémon#Event-exclusive moves|moves]] and [[event item|items]] are allowed unless the format explicitly says otherwise.
* Between [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VIII]], Pokémon must have an [[origin mark]] matching the games used for the competition. This may be substituted with the [[battle-ready symbol]].
* Two Pokémon may not have the same [[held item]].
* Pokémon cannot battle above level 50.
** In 2008 and 2009, there was no auto-leveling and Pokémon above level 50 were disallowed outright.
** Between 2010 and 2016, Pokémon above level 50 were auto-leveled down to 50, but Pokémon below level 50 were not auto-leveled up.
** From 2017 onward, all Pokémon are auto-leveled to 50.
* Two Pokémon may not have the same nickname. A Pokémon may not be nicknamed the name of a different Pokémon, and nicknames and Trainer names may not be inappropriate.

===Year-specific formats===
* '''[[Pokémon Video Game Showdown 2008|2008]]''' — {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}

** {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} were specifically disallowed, preventing players from using the (at the time) Japan-exclusive level 50 Dragonite event. (It was not possible to obtain Tyranitar at or below level 50 until a [[Generation VI]] event.)

* '''[[2011 World Championships|2011]]''' — {{game|Black and White|s}}
** Only [[Udex|Unova Pokédex]] Pokémon were allowed. {{m|Sky Drop}} was disallowed due to the [[Sky Drop glitch]].

*** Between Series 1 and 2, only [[Gdex|Galar Pokédex]] Pokémon were allowed due to the only obtainable Pokémon outside the Galar Pokédex being {{p|Mew}}. The only non-Galarian forms allowed were Kantonian {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Persian}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and Unovan {{p|Yamask}} due to those being the only obtainable ones at the time.
*** Between Series 3 and 4, all non-Galarian forms of compatible Pokémon were allowed except three: Alolan {{p|Raichu}} and Kantonian {{p|Weezing}} were not obtainable with the Galar symbol at the time, and Kantonian {{p|Slowpoke}} was not compatible with Sword and Shield at the time (only Galarian Slowpoke was). {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} were compatible but disallowed due to the battle-ready symbol not existing at the time.

Pokémon Season Structure] - By Alberto Núñez, VictoryRoadVGC.com, September 1, 2022.</ref>
*** Series 14 (Nov 1 - Dec 31, 2022): Up to two Special Pokémon were allowed. Mythical Pokémon were disallowed. (identical to Series 12)
* '''[[2023 Pokémon World Championships|2023]]''' — {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}
** Both players must disclose their team to their opponent (including Tera Type, species, forms, moves, Abilities, and held items, but excluding stats).
** On March 1, 2023, series were renamed Regulation Sets ('''レギュレーション''' ''Regulations''), with Series 1 and Series 2 retroactively renamed. The season was split into the following series:
*** Regulation Set A (Dec 2, 2022 - Jan 31, 2023):<ref>[https://victoryroadvgc.com/2023-tainan/ 2023 Tainan Regionals] - By Alberto Núñez, VictoryRoadVGC.com, December 1, 2022.</ref> Only Pokémon in the [[Pdex|Paldea Pokédex]] were allowed. Pokémon and regional forms not in the Paldea Pokédex, such as {{p|Quagsire}} and Johtonian {{p|Wooper}}, were disallowed. [[Paradox Pokémon]] and the [[treasures of ruin]] were also disallowed.
*** Regulation Set B (Feb 1 - Mar 31, 2023): Paradox Pokémon became allowed.
*** Regulation Set C (Apr 1 - Jun 30, 2023): The treasures of ruin became allowed.
**** Prior to the release of [[Pokémon HOME]] compatibility, the Japanese and Chinese rulesets consistently stated (for all three regulation sets) that a Scarlet and Violet origin mark was required,<ref>https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/ja/page/36.html</ref><ref>https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/tc/page/36.html</ref> while the English/French/Italian/German/Spanish rulesets consistently stated (for all three regulation sets) that Pokémon transferred from HOME would become allowed when the feature was released.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230528124948/https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-vg-rules-formats-and-penalty-guidelines-03252023-en.pdf</ref> (No ruleset was published in Korean due to all Korean Scarlet/Violet tournaments up to that point being conducted online.)
**** When HOME compatibility was released, the English/French/Italian/German/Spanish ruleset was changed to state that a Scarlet and Violet origin mark was required for the rest of the series (with the only competitive effect being to disallow Roaming Form [[Gimmighoul]]).
**** Regardless of these regional inconsistencies and changes, the HOME update also caused [[Plate]]s and six certain [[Egg Move]]s ({{m|Heal Bell}}, {{m|Simple Beam}}, {{m|Cosmic Power}}, {{m|Raging Fury}}, {{m|Barb Barrage}}, and {{m|Psyshield Bash}}<ref>https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/ja/page/114.html</ref>) to become newly available and allowed immediately in all regions, at approximately 4pm JST May 30.
**** Players competing in events in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, and Hong Kong between June 3–4, who were required to lock in their teams by 9am May 31, were sent an email at 11:10pm May 30 stating that the newly available Plates and Egg Moves would be disallowed for those events.<ref>[https://victoryroadvgc.com/2023-singapore/ 2023 Singapore National Championships] - By Alberto Núñez, VictoryRoadVGC.com, April 28, 2023.</ref> Players competing in Japan between June 10–11 were sent a similar email on June 1. Events in other locations on the same days were unaffected and Plates/the Egg Moves were allowed.
*** Regulation Set D (Jul 1 - Sep 30, 2023): Pokémon and forms outside the Paldea Pokédex became allowed, except [[Walking Wake]] and [[Iron Leaves]].
**** Before the release of [[The Teal Mask]] on September 13, a "Temporary Post-Release Restriction Clause" was added to the ruleset disallowing any traits exclusive to The Teal Mask for the rest of the series (Pokémon, forms, moves, and items), such as the [[Kee Berry]]. (For example, this applied to the Curitiba Regionals in Brazil on September 23–24.<ref>https://victoryroadvgc.com/2024-curitiba/</ref>)
*** Regulation Set E (Oct 1, 2023 - Jan 3, 2024): Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]] and Pokémon made [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number#Since Version 2.0.1|available]] in the 2.0.1 update became allowed.
**** Before the release of [[The Indigo Disk]] on December 14, a "Temporary Post-Release Restriction Clause" was added to the ruleset disallowing any traits exclusive to The Indigo Disk for the rest of the series (Pokémon, moves, items, and the [[Stellar]] Tera Type). (For example, this applied to the San Antonio Regionals on December 16–17.<ref>https://victoryroadvgc.com/2024-san-antonio/</ref>)
*** Regulation Set F (Jan 4 - Apr 30, 2024): Pokémon in the [[BBdex|Blueberry Pokédex]] and Pokémon made [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number#Since Version 3.0.0|available]] in the 3.0.0 update became allowed, including {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}}.
*** Regulation Set G (May 1 - Aug 31, 2024 and Jan 6 to Apr 30, 2025): Up to one Special Pokémon was allowed.
*** Regulation Set H (Sep 1, 2024 - Jan 5, 2025): Legendary and Paradox Pokémon became disallowed.

When series may overlap at the start or end of a year, events may use either of the two formats. For example, the Korean League Season 1 on December 15–16, 2019 used 2020 Series 1 rules, while the Kuala Lumpur Regionals on December 21–22, 2019 used 2019 Ultra Series rules.<ref>[https://victoryroadvgc.com/2020-season-events/ Pokémon VGC events for the 2020 Season] - By Victory Road, VictoryRoadVGC.com, September 6, 2019.</ref>

===Broadcasting===
* In 2008, for at least the semifinals onward, players connected their [[Nintendo DS]]es to a modified, unreleased version of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. The modified game featured a unique remix of ''Battle! (Team Galactic Boss)'' seemingly arranged for the event, as well as no region- or language-locking.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd-KigvdnzM Pokemon TCG Worlds 2008: VG Showdown Juniors Final] - YouTube.com</ref> No Battle Revolution-specific clauses were set.
* In 2009, for at least the semifinals onward, players connected their Nintendo DSes to a modified, unreleased version of Pokémon Battle Revolution. The modified game featured Platinum outfits for {{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Lucas}} as well as no region- or language-locking.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICRdjvaUQM8 571 - The VGC 2009 Battle Revolution Platinum mystery + LIVE! Shiny Rotom after 20,948 SRs!] - YouTube.com</ref>
* Between 2010 and 2019, only the top screen of the Nintendo DS or [[Nintendo 3DS]] was broadcast in order to prevent revealing a player's move selections.
* From 2022 onward, a third console is connected to the two competitors' consoles in LAN spectator mode in order to prevent revealing a player's move selections (for western tournaments in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], the game is displayed from the perspective of one player's console, but Asian tournaments and the top 16 in the 2023 Pokémon World Championships used the spectator mode).

===World Champions===
As of the 2023 season, 45 champions have been crowned during the core series games' tenure as one of the games in the World Championships roster, with Ray Rizzo being the most successful, winning the title three times.

===In the games===
====In-game effects====
Starting from [[Pokémon Video Game Showdown 2008]] (and excluding VGC 2010), aesthetic changes are made to the link battle arena during the World Championships. These tend to come in the form of a unique battle background made specifically for the event, but can also change the music, either by using a track unique to the World Championships (such as ''Pokémon World Championships Final'', used from [[Generation V]] to [[Generation VII]]) or by locking music selection to a pre-existing track.

| A unique variation of Wyndon Stadium with the World Championships logo present on the advertising boards and a [[Poké Ball (item)|Poké Ball]] displayed on the jumbotron was used during all 2022 World Championships matches. This battle background is not used anywhere else in-game.
In addition, at the start of every game, there is a unique starting animation: when the League Cards of both players are shown, a unique outer space background with the Earth is used instead of the standard battle start background.

This battle background is not used anywhere else in-game.

====In-game appearances====
In {{B2W2}}, the top four competitors from each division of the Video Game Championships from the [[2012 World Championships]] were featured in the [[World Championships Tournament]]s in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. In the [[Generation VI]] games, {{DL|Pokémon X and Y beta|Battle Maison|unused text}} exists for the top three competitors as opponents in the [[Battle Maison]].

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, several NPCs at the [[Battle Resort]] mention the Pokémon World Championships.

===Trivia===
* It is possible for moves to become {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive at a World Championship format despite not being event-exclusive normally. For example, {{m|Bounce}} was an event-exclusive move on {{p|Gyarados}} in VGC 2017 only, as it otherwise needs a [[Move Tutor]] to learn Bounce and so could not have the [[black clover]] at the time.
* The Kalos [[first partner Pokémon]] were effectively event-exclusive between 2023 Regulation Sets D and E, due to being unobtainable in any previous Switch game and requiring an old install of [[Pokémon Bank]].
* While event-exclusive Pokémon, moves, and items have been disallowed, event-exclusive [[Hidden Abilities]] have always been allowed.
* The first half of 2020 is the only time that non-event Pokémon have been disallowed because of rarity. Specifically, Gigantamax Pokémon that were rarely available normally in-game did not become allowed until the start of the first [[Wild Area News]] event that temporarily made them more common. This would become moot with the release of The Isle of Armor, which would make all relevant Gigantamax Pokémon available without relying on rarity.
* Between approximately October 2020 and March 2021, at least the English language rulebook mistakenly implied {{p|Regigigas}} was disallowed (by omitting its National Pokédex number from the list of allowed Pokémon that do not have a Galar/Isle of Armor/Crown Tundra Pokédex number).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201027152813/https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-vg-rules-formats-and-penalty-guidelines-10232020-en.pdf Video Game Rules, Formats & Penalty Guidelines] - Date of last revision: October 23, 2020 - Pokémon.com</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210126052431/https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-vg-rules-formats-and-penalty-guidelines-01252021-en.pdf Video Game Rules, Formats & Penalty Guidelines] - Date of last revision: January 25, 2021 - Pokémon.com</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210511201450/https://assets.pokemon.com/assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-vg-rules-formats-and-penalty-guidelines-03292021-en.pdf Video Game Rules, Formats & Penalty Guidelines] - Date of last revision: March 29, 2021 - Pokémon.com</ref> This was fixed sometime in or before February 2022.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220309173223/https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-vg-rules-formats-and-penalty-guidelines-02152022-en.pdf Video Game Rules, Formats & Penalty Guidelines] - Date of last revision: February 15, 2022 - Pokémon.com</ref>
* Coincidentally, in the 2022 edition's Masters Division finals for the core series video games, players Eduardo Cunha and Guillermo Castilla Diaz represented the basis of the [[Paldea]] region (the {{wp|Iberian Peninsula}}), the setting of the [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] games.
* To promote the then-upcoming 2023 World Championships, the [[Battle Stadium]] within [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] had animated fireworks in its home screen and battle preview. It was later done again for the 2024 tournament.

==Scheduling and matchups==
{{Outdated|section}}
The Championships are set over three days (four starting with the 2022 event) with a last chance qualifier (known to players as "The Grinder") on the Friday to fill seats left vacant for various reasons (no travel, local qualifiers) until all seats are filled. The second day is limited to Swiss Pairings over a set number of rounds, and the top players (16 each in the Junior and Senior Divisions, as well as the top 32 in the Masters division) move onto the Sunday rounds. The format for this final is single elimination, until the finals, which are a best two matches out of three to decide the World Champion. There are three divisions: Junior (known as the 10 Years Old and Under Division until 2006), Senior (known as the 11 to 14 Year Old Division until 2006) and Masters (called the 15 Years and Older Division until 2006). In 2010, a Last Chance Qualifier was held on Friday to fill all vacant spots. In 2011, a Masters age Division was added to the VGC scene to parallel the TCG. The event format consists of Swiss rounds, followed by a single elimination tournament. In 2009, the top two advanced to play the finals on Sunday, whereas since 2010, the top eight advance to play in a head-to-head single elimination event to decide the World Champions.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|JN}}====
{{main|World Coronation Series}}
In {{aniseries|JN}}, {{Ash}} participated in the Pokémon World Coronation Series (Japanese: '''ポケモンワールドチャンピオンシップス''' ''Pokémon World Championships''). In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', he became the current World Champion by defeating {{an|Leon}} and becoming the latest Monarch.

===Pokémon: Path to the Peak===
{{merge|Play! Pokémon|section}}
The real World Championships was first mentioned in ''[[PTP01|The Club]]''.

In ''[[PTP02|Regionals]]'', [[Ava]], [[Ava's father|her father]], and [[Celestine]] participated in the [[Play! Pokémon#Regional Championships|regional]] [[Pokémon TCG]] championship. In the first round of competition, players initially face their opponents based on predetermined matches and the tournament follows with the other participants in the elimination round scheme. The final is held with a best of three between the two finalists.

===Challenge the World!===
[[Challenge the World!]], a trailer for the [[2023 Pokémon World Championships]], shows a fictional version of that event. Each of the events, GO, UNITE, TCG, and VGC, has a sequence in which the battles are presented in animated form. The framing device for this is that each member of a friend group is partaking in one of the events. The main character wins a match as part of the VGC event.

List of glitches in Generation IX

2025-02-04T10:18:53Z

Jmvb: /* Battle glitches */ i'm not sure if there's a way to embed a twitter video but if there is it would be useful if someone could add it in

This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in the [[Generation IX]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]].

==Scarlet and Violet==
===All versions===
====Battle glitches====
=====Interrupted cheer deduction glitch=====
During a [[Tera Raid Battle]], if a cheer is confirmed at the same time as an extra action from a boss is triggered and interrupts the cheer from executing, the number of usable cheers may still be deducted despite the cheer not actually being used.

{{YouTubeEmbed|e2r6USb-3PE|Flametix|Violet|Violet}}

=====Missing TM Materials item IDs=====
There are 23 stubbed items in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} that map to [[TM Material]]s for {{p|Sprigatito}}, {{p|Fuecoco}}, {{p|Quaxly}}, {{p|Koraidon}}, {{p|Miraidon}}, the [[treasures of ruin]], and [[Paradox Pokémon]] found in the [[Paldea Pokédex]], [[List of items by index number in Generation IX|item ID]]s 2100-2102 (Sprigatito through Quaxly), 2124-2125 (Koraidon and Miraidon), 2138-2151 (Paradox Pokémon, excluding Walking Wake and Iron Leaves), and 2152-2155 (treasures of ruin).<ref>https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/5002-pok%C3%A9-portal-event-23-great-tusk-and-iron-treads-spotlight-chesnaught-the-unrivaled/?do=findComment&comment=4319</ref>

If the game attempts to grant these items to the player, such as via the rewards following the completion of a [[Tera Raid Battle]], the game will crash.

{{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} event raids did attempt to grant bonus drops of TM Materials, however they were unaffected by this glitch due to not having an associated TM Material item ID. 7★ Raid Battles for species not found in Paldea, (such as {{p|Charizard}}), were also unaffected, as they did not have TM Materials in the item pool.

The first instance of this glitch occurred May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023 with the introduction of {{p|Great Tusk}} and {{p|Iron Treads}} event raids.

======May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023 Poké Portal News event glitches======
[[File:Great Tusk and Iron Treads Glitched TM Material.jpg|thumb|250px|The item rewards screen of one of the glitched Great Tusk and Iron Treads raids, attempting to display a non-existent [[TM Material]] prior to the game crashing.]]
[[File:Cancelled 7 Star Delphox Announcement.jpg|thumb|250px|An announcement for a 7★ {{p|Delphox}} event intended to run from May 25 to 28, 2023 that briefly appeared in the [[Pokémon HOME]] calendar on May 21, before being removed from the event calendar.]]
{{main|Poké Portal News#May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023}}
{{main|Poké Portal News#June 16 to 19, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → June 16 to 19, 2023}}
This event was originally intended to run between May 19, 00:00 UTC to May 21, 23:59 UTC, 2023, but included two notable glitches during its initial introduction on May 19, 2023:
* The item rewards attempted to grant and display [[TM Material]]s for Great Tusk and Iron Treads, despite both species not having associated TM Material items. This caused the item rewards screen for some players to display "None" as one of the item rewards, followed by the game crashing.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1659386207162204161 Video clip of glitched TM Materials and game crash for Great Tusk Raid by @Sibuna_Switch, via Twitter]</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1659353658163621893</ref>
* All Iron Treads raids with random Tera types were erroneously coded never to appear as {{Shiny}},<ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1659352905692971010</ref> despite both versions of Great Tusk, and the Iron Treads with the forced {{t|Ground}} Tera type being able to appear as Shiny at the standard 1:4103.05 odds.
At approximately 02:00 UTC on May 19, 2023,<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1659380996343578624</ref> all event raids were removed from the server, (including the 7★ Chesnaught the Unrivaled event), replaced with completely blank event data for any players that connected during this time. The official Japanese twitter account issued an apology,<ref>https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1659389212679098368</ref> but the event was eventually announced as being cancelled entirely.<ref>https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1659516228363489281</ref> This is the first instance of a Poké Portal News event being removed from the server entirely to address a glitch.

Additionally, an announcement for a 7★ {{p|Delphox}} event running from May 26, 2023 00:00 UTC to May 28, 2023 23:59 UTC briefly appeared in the [[Pokémon HOME]] calendar on May 21, but was removed almost immediately, likely due to the cancellation of the prior event causing scheduling conflicts.

The June 16 to 19, 2023 rescheduled event resolved both aforementioned glitches, with both Great Tusk and Iron Treads no longer attempting to award the glitched TM Materials, and Iron Treads with random Tera Types are no longer prevented from being Shiny.

======June 21 to July 2, 2023 Poké Portal News 0 Tera Shards glitch======
[[File:Gimmighoul Glitched Item Rewards.jpg|thumb|250px|The item rewards screen of one of the glitched Gimmighoul raids in Pokémon Scarlet, attempting to display "0 [[Tera Shard]]s" as item rewards due to an null item reward pool.]]
{{main|Poké Portal News#June 21 to July 2, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → June 21 to July 2, 2023}}
After June 21, 2023's [[Nintendo Direct]] aired, the 25th Tera Raid Battle event featuring [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Gimmighoul|Chest Form]] {{p|Gimmighoul}} was announced. Gimmighoul with various Tera Types appeared in 1-5 Tera Raid Battles from June 21 (15:00 UTC) to July 2 (23:59 UTC), 2023.<ref>https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/ja/page/100.html</ref>

Initially, from 15:00 UTC to approximately 17:30 UTC, there was a glitch in the event data for [[Pokémon Scarlet]]. Players with Scarlet who completed the event raids were shown reward screens showing multiple instances of "0 [[Tera Shard]]s" as a reward, (due to a null item reward pool), and were prevented from joining the raids of [[Pokémon Violet]] players, who were unaffected by the bug. New event raid data was uploaded the server shortly after, with Scarlet players who connected online after 17:30 UTC receiving raids with correct reward pools, and being able to join raids hosted by players with Violet.<ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1671575089018552320</ref>

===== No "getting pumped!" message =====
During Tera Raid Battles, if the player's pokémon or the Tera Raid Boss uses Focus Energy, the message "<Pokémon> is getting pumped!" will not show.

=====No type effectiveness or critical hit messages=====
If a Pokémon uses a single-target attack move targeting their own ally Pokémon and hits, messages for type effectiveness or [[critical hit]]s will not show if it otherwise would.

=====Permanent cheer preservation on fainting=====
During [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, if a player faints while the effects of a temporary stat boost from a cheer are active, then the stat boosts will be preserved and permanently applied for the rest of the raid after respawning. This permanent effect does not show as a visible buff in the Battle Info menu unlike the normal cheer effects. This effect can be stacked by using another cheer afterwards to increase the current cheer boost by ×0.5 (with no set maximum like stat stages), and fainting again will preserve the increased stats, while the cheer naturally wearing off after 3 turns will just reset stats back to the state before the cheer was used.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1772885083696791811</ref>
{{YouTubeEmbed|uC1dH8APhLc|slime_man|Violet|Violet}}

=====Swapping Pokémon in multiplayer raids=====
During multiplayer [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, occasionally you may be incorrectly using another player's Pokémon with their exact stats and moves, but it will not be replaced permanently after the battle ends.<ref>https://twitter.com/Flametix/status/1732939246493999263</ref> The model will visually remain the same as the original Pokémon until it faints and respawns.

=====Tera Raid Battle Zacian glitch=====
During [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, if a teammate uses a {{p|Zacian}} holding a [[Rusted Sword]], the Zacian may appear in its Hero of Many Battles form on the field while its health bar icon is its Crowned Sword form. This can result in a Hero of Many Battles Zacian appearing to use {{m|Behemoth Blade}}, as it is actually a Crowned Sword Zacian.
{{-}}

=====Terapagos battle oversight=====
During the battle against {{p|Terapagos}} in its Stellar Form, if it is confused by a move such as {{m|Dynamic Punch}} and then breaks its own barrier due to confusion damage, the player can then knock out Terapagos early by dealing enough damage. If this happens, the game will put the battle in an unwinnable state, as the battle script has Terapagos create another barrier, but as its HP was effectively depleted, it is no longer recognized as an active participant of the battle.

{{YouTubeEmbed|3lFXoaPwe_g|NiceAsMike|Stellar|Stellar}}

=====Trick Room Female Indeedee=====
{{main|Game move errors#Unobtainable moves 2|Game move errors → Unobtainable at the game's release → Unobtainable moves}}
[[File:Female Indeedee Trick Room SV.png|thumb|Female Indeedee using {{m|Trick Room}} during a [[Tera Raid Battle]]]]
[[File:Female Indeedee Trick Room Summary.png|thumb|The [[summary]] page showing the error move {{m|Trick Room}} after capture]]
In 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, female Indeedee has an identical moveset to its male counterpart, which erroneously included the move Trick Room, a move it could not normally learn. When caught, female Indeedee with Trick Room were permitted to be [[trade]]d online, and participate in the [[Battle Stadium]].

Additionally, while Female Indeedee 5★ raids were initially impossible to host online to other players (displaying an error message when attempting to join them), as of early December 2022 they began permitting other players to host them freely with Trick Room still present in the moveset, despite it still being an error move at the time.

This is currently the only instance of an error move obtainable by the player where the error was corrected by the developers simply allowing it, and eventually integrating it as a feature. As of v2.0.1 of Scarlet and Violet, instead of correcting the erroneous move, [[Game Freak]] instead patched the game to add Trick Room to Female Indeedee's [[TM]] learnset, effectively rendering it no longer an "error move". However, if the move is forgotten, it can not be relearned without using a TM.

=====Turn 255+ move glitches=====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Mechanics explanation, see [https://fixupx.com/DaWoblefet/status/1860503393250213945 this tweet], [https://fixupx.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1861272667514397019 this tweet], and [https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/scarlet-violet-battle-mechanics-research.3709545/page-55#post-10352797 this Smogon mechanics writeup/mechanics discussion] for details.}}

=====Ally Switch Terapagos Visual Glitch=====
In a [[double battle]], if {{p|Terapagos}} is switched in on the same turn as its ally uses {{m|Ally Switch}} {{a|Tera Shift}} will appear to turn Terapagos into its ally rather than its Terastal Form. This effect is only visual and Terapgagos will still have the moves and stats of its Terastal form. If the transformed Terapagos [[Terastal phenomenon|terastalizes]], it will display the Tera Jewel corresponding to the Tera type of the Pokémon it transformed into rather than the {{t|Stellar}} Tera Jewel. If it uses {{m|Tera Starstorm}} while in this state and the displayed Tera Jewel is not Stellar, the move will animate like a single target move and appear to only to do damage to one target in the animation, however both foes will take damage. If the Terapagos is transformed into a Pokémon with the Stellar tera type and uses {{m|Tera Starstorm}} while terastilized it will animate as double target move as usual, but if it hits a Pokémon that is using a {{cat|Protection moves|protection move}} there is a chance it will erroneously say a [[Critical Hit]] was landed despite the protection move successfully activating.<ref>https://x.com/TesloboVGC/status/1886574170517217735</ref><ref>https://x.com/TesloboVGC/status/1886574399861514327</ref>

====Miscellaneous====
=====Door collision glitches=====
Some buildings have doors that lack collision, allowing the player to step through them into a small square space on the other side. One such door can be found in [[Porto Marinada]] near the eastern entrance to the market.

=====Memory leak=====
Due to a {{wp|memory leak}}<ref>https://twitter.com/Linkus7/status/1593700134864490511</ref>, the longer the game remains open, the more performance issues occur, eventually leading to {{wp|heap corruption}} errors, potentially causing crashes, savefile corruption, and a wide variety of glitches.

This can be solved partially by exiting the main map via entering [[Mesagoza]], shops and houses with an interior map, gyms, or [[Area Zero]], or closing and reopening the game periodically.

=====Once-in-a-Lifetime Ribbon missing logic=====
Likely due to an oversight, the logic for the Once-in-a-Lifetime [[List of Ribbons in the games#Memorial Ribbons|Ribbon]] to be granted to Pokémon is not present in the game. Despite being unobtainable, the official guidebook mentions it is intended to be obtained from [[Surprise Trade]] at a 1/100 chance to be applied to traded Pokémon.<ref>https://twitter.com/no07011305/status/1603660614060097539</ref>

=====Out-of-bound spawning glitch=====
Pokémon and items will often spawn in places inaccessible to the player, such as behind walls, below the ground, underwater, or inside objects such as trees, rocks, or buildings.

=====Pokémon Egg Shiny Roll bug=====
When {{pkmn|breeding}}, if any [[personality value]] rerolls are applied, (such as the additional Shiny rolls provided via the [[Masuda method]] or [[Shiny Charm]]), the initial roll to generate a personality value is skipped.

This glitch is also present in the [[core series]] [[Generation]] {{gen|VIII}} games.

===== Premature outbreak and Tera Raid crystal reset bug =====
Outbreak and Tera Raid crystal may sometime reset themselves without the system's date changing or the player changing the date themselves.

=====Running speed glitch=====
On handheld mode, if the player connects a second controller (i.e. a Pro Controller) and hold both joysticks on the attached left Joy-con and second controller diagonally in the same direction, they will run at even faster speed than usual.

=====Town Map glitch=====
After the [[credits]] roll, the {{player}} will be transported to their dorm room in the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, but the player's location on the Town Map will still be marked as the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] until they leave the academy building.

====Texture/model glitches====
=====Clone glitch=====
{{GlitchResearch|Does this happen on all Titans or only the Open Sky Titan?}}
After defeating a [[Titan Pokémon|Titan]], if the Pokémon that defeated it evolves, it will display two of the Pokémon's model.

=====Espathra hair texture glitch=====
[[File:Espathra Camera Hair Texture Glitch.png|thumb|{{p|Espathra}} and its {{Shiny}} variant, displaying the incorrect hair coloration]]
When the camera is far from {{p|Espathra}}, its hair, which is normally white, is shown as the same color as its wings.

=====Glaseado Gym Test texture quirk=====
[[File:Glaseado Gym Test Texture Errors Koraidon Miraidon.png|thumb|{{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} during the [[Glaseado]] Gym Test, with glitched textures]]
During the [[Glaseado Mountain|Glaseado]] Gym Test, {{p|Koraidon}} may appear with its body textures heavily desaturated and {{p|Miraidon}} may appear with a white texture across most of its body, apparently missing its typical body textures. This is opposed to a subtle "snow-dusted" texture overlaid on top of their respective correct colorations, which is the intended appearance.
{{-}}

=====Overworld disguise glitch=====
Certain Pokémon such as {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Ditto}} spawn in the overworld disguised as another species. Due to nearby spawns being retained after saving and reloading the game, nearby instances of disguised Pokémon will still be present if the player saves near one, then closes, and reopens the game.

However, when reloading the game, the Pokémon will lose its disguise and appear as the correct species. If encountered in battle, it appears to "transform back into itself", playing the typical animation for losing its disguise, but not changing models.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1593272765183827970</ref>

=====Porto Marinada Market reappearing seller glitch=====
When the player imports certain Pokémon from [[Pokémon HOME]], a seller will appear in [[Porto Marinada Market]] to auction off the relevant items for changing the forms of those Pokémon, such as the [[Reveal Glass]] and [[Prison Bottle]]. The seller will disappear upon the conclusion of the final auction once there are no more items to be sold. However, if the player stands in front of the now-empty stall and triggers a form change that takes place in the overworld, such as using the [[Griseous Core]] on {{p|Giratina}}, the seller will reappear during the form change animation and will have no dialogue if she is spoken to.
{{-}}

=====Texture overlay glitch=====
In some cases, Pokémon will appear with another texture overlaid across their body.<ref>https://twitter.com/hotathino_/status/1598714830709739520</ref>

====User interface glitches====
=====Alcremie form glitch=====
When an {{p|Alcremie}} is in a [[Double Battle]], its icon on the target selection menu will depict Vanilla Cream Alcremie with a [[Strawberry Sweet]] regardless of what form is actually in the battle. This can be easily seen in battles with [[Lacey]], where her Ruby Swirl Alcremie with a [[Berry Sweet]] triggers the glitch.

=====Health bar quirks=====
During [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, the health bar of the boss appears inconsistent between participants, and may display an incorrect amount of damage taken, or appear to regain health after being reduced to 0 HP. The last issue commonly occurred when using certain moves such as Play Rough visually displaying more damage than what was actually taken prior to 1.2.0, and the game trying to correct to the real HP value afterwards would make it appear as the boss recovered HP.

A similar issue can happen during the [[Titan Pokémon]] battles involving [[Arven]], where if the Titan attacks his Pokémon and the player's Pokémon will hit it as well, but move after the Titan, the HP bar will update to values in the wrong order.

{{YouTubeEmbed|UBmFCPQPgoM|SmallAnt_Clips|HP|HP}}

=====Kofu's Wallet sprite glitch=====
When the player receives [[Kofu's Wallet]] in [[Cascarrafa]], the description window may briefly appear on the screen with the sprite of a Water-type [[TM]] instead of the correct sprite, before the window reappears with the correct sprite.

=====Mass outbreak form display glitch=====
If a Pokémon has multiple forms that can be found in the wild, the map may display an incorrect form icon when this species appears in a mass outbreak. For example, a Stretchy Form {{p|Tatsugiri}} icon may display for a mass outbreak of Curly Form Tatsugiri.

=====Minimap out-of-bounds icons glitch=====
After the game has been open for an extended period of time, the minimap will stop clearing Pokémon icons from the map, causing them to appear out-of-bounds of the minimap rather than vanishing when the player is out of range.

=====Negative number revival timer glitch=====
When going to the HOME menu during a raid while the revival timer is active and the raid continues in the background, and returning after the Pokémon has been revived, the revival timer may stay visible and count down into negative numbers. When it reaches -100, it will appear as -?0, with a ? in the tens digit.
{{YouTubeEmbed|wkHRZFig2bg|Flametix|Violet|Violet}}

=====Slow 300 HP bar animation glitch=====
When taking damage or healing to a result of exactly 300 HP, the HP bar will animate slower than normal.
{{YouTubeEmbed|R63wjTrDGAA|Flametix|Violet|Violet}}

=====Tera Blast type effectiveness glitch=====
If a Pokémon is Terastallized during a battle, other Pokémon on the player's team who know {{m|Tera Blast}} may have Tera Blast's type or effectiveness display in menus as if they were the Pokémon that was Terastallized, based on their own Tera Type.

=====TM list glitch=====
When teaching a Pokémon a move using the "Use TMs to learn moves" option on the status screen, if the last TM on the list is used, the cursor will highlight a blank space on the list after teaching the move. This is due to the used TM disappearing from the list, but the cursor not adjusting to highlight the TM above it despite it becoming the last one in the list.

=====Typeless summary glitch=====
When viewing the summary screen of a Pokémon that is currently typeless, the game will crash.<ref>https://twitter.com/zakocky/status/1612373830718337027</ref>

===Prior to v3.0.1===
====Dragon Cheer glitch====
When a Pokémon under the effect of {{m|Dragon Cheer}} was switched out of battle and then reentered that battle, its attacks would still have a heightened chance of landing critical hits. This glitch was fixed in v3.0.1.

====Input lock glitch====
When levelling up {{p|Inkay}} using candy while it is under Level 30, the game would stop receiving inputs from the controllers. This glitch was fixed in v.3.0.1.

====Item Printer glitch====
After players installed the [[Item Printer]] in the [[League Club Room]], under certain circumstances, they could get stuck between the Item Printer and the wall. This glitch was fixed in v.3.0.1.

====Smeargle cloning glitch====
If the player lures a {{p|Smeargle}} very close to a tree in the [[Terarium]], has the wild Smeargle use {{m|Sketch}} to Sketch the move {{m|Transform}}, then has the wild Smeargle use Transform, if the player then runs away from the battle, the Smeargle will become a clone of the Pokémon it transformed into, and the player can then re-encounter the clone in a battle to capture it. The clone will disappear from the overworld if the game is saved and restarted if it is not caught.

Much like the curry cloning glitch, most aspects of the original Pokémon will stay the same (including its held item and any ribbons or marks), but info about where and how it was caught, and the info about who caught it will be overwritten. Furthermore, by having the wild Smeargle transform into certain battle-only forms, such as Terastal Form {{p|Terapagos}} or Hero Form {{p|Palafin}}, the clone will be able to sustain these forms outside of battle where they otherwise wouldn't be until the clone is placed in the PC or until the game is restarted.

Stellar Form Terapagos and {{p|Ogerpon}} in its Terastallized State cannot be cloned, as Transform fails against those targets. However, the player can still Terastallize clones of Ogerpon and Terapagos to use said forms.

Using this glitch, it's possible to clone Pokémon obtained through the NPC trades in the [[League Club Room|BB League Club Room]], and since OT and ID data is overwritten upon capturing a clone, but ribbons and marks are copied, the Partner Ribbon is able to be obtained on a Pokémon the game considers to be the players, allowing any OT to be a Pokémon's title.

The [[Pokémon HOME]] tracker value will also be copied if the original Pokémon had one, so clones made from this glitch cannot be used there in those cases.

This glitch was fixed in v.3.0.1, by making the move Transform fail if used by wild Smeargle in this scenario.

====TM223 required material glitch====
In Pokémon Scarlet, one of the TM materials needed to craft [[TM223]] required Shieldon Claws, despite {{p|Shieldon}} and {{p|Bastiodon}} being exclusive to Pokémon Violet, making it impossible to craft this TM in this game. This glitch was fixed in v.3.0.1.

===Prior to v3.0.0===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Check patch notes and retest existing bugs, move/add any bugs that were resolved between v1.3.0 and v1.3.1}}

===Prior to v2.0.2===
=====Paradise Protection Protocol battle glitch=====
During the battle against the Paradise Protection Protocol's Koraidon/Miraidon, if the player has these Pokémon registered to the Paldea Pokédex, the game will crash when hovering over slot 4, 5 or 6 when viewing their party. This was fixed in v2.0.2.

===Prior to v2.0.1===
=====Itemfinder Mark missing logic=====
Likely due to an oversight, the logic for the Itemfinder [[Mark]] to be granted to Pokémon was not present in the game<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1598840477758803968</ref>. Despite it being unobtainable prior to v2.0.1., [[Hassel]] erroneously mentions it as being obtainable during one of his Art classes at the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}.

In v2.0.1., the Itemfinder Mark can be awarded as intended.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1701837119444885945</ref>

=====Tera Raid missing players glitch =====
During multi-player Tera Raid Battles, other players that join may not appear to the host player, instead showing an empty player slot, despite having all available player slots filled. This was fixed in v2.0.1.

===Prior to v1.3.1===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Check patch notes and retest existing bugs, move/add any bugs that were resolved between v1.3.0 and v1.3.1}}

===Prior to v1.3.0===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Check [https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60277/~/how-to-update-pok%C3%A9mon-scarlet-and-pok%C3%A9mon-violet#v130 patch notes] and retest existing bugs, move/add any bugs that were resolved between v1.2.0 and v1.3.0}}

===Prior to v1.2.0===
====Destiny Bond Terastallization glitch====
If a Pokémon uses {{m|Destiny Bond}} and {{Tera}}stallizes on the next turn, Destiny Bond won't cause the attacker to faint. This is a bug and was fixed in the Version 1.2.0 update.

====February 27 to March 12, 2023 Poké Portal News Bad Egg====
[[File:PPN13 Bad Egg.jpg|thumb|250x250px|Bad Egg as a result of catching a Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in v1.1.0 of Scarlet or Violet]]
{{main|Poké Portal News#February 27 to March 12, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → February 27 to March 12, 2023}}
The Poké Portal News event on February 27 to March 12, 2023 introduced {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} in 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. However, it was possible to update the Poké Portal News event data while still remaining on Scarlet or Violet v1.1.0, causing incorrect event data to be generated.

If the player attempted to join a 5★ event raid after going online in v1.1.0 during this period, these raids would result in a [[Bad Egg]] instead, due to the lack of species data existing in v1.1.0. These Bad Eggs cannot be hatched, released, or traded, and also set the flag for having caught Walking Wake or Iron Leaves, causing the player to be unable to attempt to catch another. Updating the game to v1.2.0 does not result in the Bad Egg becoming the correct species.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1630378458034626564</ref>

{{YouTubeEmbed|7gtymg7VudU|@Atrius97|Violet|Violet}}

This glitch was partially fixed in Scarlet and Violet v1.3.0, which released April 20, 2023, with v1.3.0 detecting any Bad Eggs present in the savefile and resetting the respective capture flag(s) if a player had obtained a Bad Egg, Additionally, a repeat of the event was scheduled for [[Poké Portal News#May 1 to 14, 2023|May 1 to 14, 2023]] as a direct response <ref>https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1648612433962110976</ref> to the issue, allowing affected players another chance to capture a Walking Wake and/or Iron Leaves.

v1.3.0 also made a change to how Poké Portal News event data was stored, now storing it under version specific blocks in the savefile, preventing event data from a newer game version from being accessed by the player on an outdated game version, hypothetically preventing the original glitch from occurring again in the future.

Despite the v1.3.0 patch notes<ref>https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60277/~/how-to-update-pok%C3%A9mon-scarlet-and-pok%C3%A9mon-violet#v130</ref> claiming to fully resolve the issue, while the patch does properly detect the presence of Bad Eggs, any Bad Eggs obtained during the aforementioned glitched raid event continue to persist in the player's storage after updating to v1.3.0, without any method of removing them, as they still cannot be traded, released, or hatched.

{{YouTubeEmbed|xDTnN-d8QmQ|@Atrius97|Violet|Violet}}
{{-}}

====Order Up glitch====
If a {{p|Dondozo}} with a {{p|Tatsugiri}} in its mouth uses the move {{m|Order Up}}, the move will increase one of Dondozo's stats even if the move is negated (eg. via {{m|Protect}}). This is a bug and was fixed in the Version 1.2.0 update.

====Persistent model glitch====
After the game has been open for an extended period of time, the last previously loaded model will remain loaded during cutscenes or interior locations, often appearing as a {{i|Poké Ball}} or Pokémon placed arbitrarily in the middle of a room, or near the entrance of an interior location.

This was partially resolved in v1.2.0, apparently fixing the appearance of glitched Poké Ball models, however some Pokémon models still appear to persist in areas such as [[Tera Raid Battle]]s and inside buildings.

====Ribbon/Mark menu glitch ====
In the [[Party]] and [[Box]] menus, the [[Ribbon]]s and [[Mark]]s earned by a Pokémon are not displayed properly, and can only be viewed and equipped when the [[summary]] menu is accessed from the party.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1598529777710895107</ref>

==== TM014 Thumbnail oversight ====
The Thumbnail preview for [[TM014]] ([[Acrobatics (move)|Acrobatics]]) mistakenly had remnants of a developer debugging menu. This was corrected in v.1.2.0.

====Uncatchable Transformed Ditto glitch====
Prior to v1.2.0, if a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Ditto}} used {{m|Transform}} to transform into the alternate [[form]] of any species, (specifically a form with an index value other than "0"), it would cause the [[catch rate]] of the Ditto to become 0, making it impossible to catch with any [[Poké Ball]] except the [[Heavy Ball]] or [[Master Ball]]. This was fixed in v1.2.0, always using Ditto's correct catch rate of 35, regardless of what species/form it is currently transformed into.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1632216388734537729</ref>

===Prior to v1.1.0===
====Elite Four Music glitch====
During the [[Elite Four]] battles, the brief intro of the background music played on a persistent loop throughout rather than playing the entire music. This was fixed in v1.1.0.

====Online battle RNG glitch====
During online matches, the same [[RNG]] seed was used for every battle, causing many "random" actions to be completely predictable, such as the [[accuracy]] checks for whether OHKO moves like {{m|Sheer Cold}} would be successful during a turn.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1596768465095983104</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1598513391601164288</ref>

====Sleep Status visual glitch====
When a Pokémon is afflicted by the sleep status condition, its eyes would remain open. This was fixed in v1.1.0.

===Prior to v1.0.1 ===
====Multiplayer Tera Raid Shiny sparkle glitch====
During a Multiplayer Tera Raid Battle, if another player brings out a shiny Pokémon, the sparkling animation will only be displayed on the player's own Pokémon. This was fixed in v1.0.1.
====Sylveon type flag oversight ====
Due to an oversight, {{p|Sylveon}} has the same flag as {{p|Arceus}} and {{p|Silvally}}, which prevents its type from being changed. This was fixed in v1.0.1.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1614308613505392640?s=20</ref>

{{bulbanews|game}}
'''Pokémon Bank''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンバンク''' ''Pokémon Bank'') is a downloadable online application for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] that is available on the {{wp|Nintendo eShop}}. It serves as a complement to the [[Pokémon Storage System]], and is compatible with [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], and [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

A companion application, [[Poké Transporter]], allows the player to transfer Pokémon from other core series games to Pokémon Bank; specifically, it can connect with the [[Generation V]] core series games as well as the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation]] {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} core series games.

Pokémon Bank was originally a paid service. The annual charge was ¥500 in Japan, $4.99 in {{pmin|the United States}}, $6.99 plus tax in {{pmin|Canada}}, £4.49 in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, €4.99 in the {{wp|Eurozone}}, CHF 7.00 in {{wp|Switzerland}}, $6.50 in {{pmin|Australia}}, $8.50 in {{pmin|New Zealand}}, ₩5000 in {{pmin|South Korea}}, $150 in {{pmin|Greater China|Taiwan}}, ZAR60 in {{pmin|South Africa}}, and $40 in {{pmin|Greater China|Hong Kong}}.

On February 16, 2022, due to the discontinuation of the Nintendo 3DS eShop on March 27, 2023, it was announced that Pokémon Bank would become free to use on this date (though it is only available to users who downloaded the application prior to the eShop discontinuation).<ref name="eshop-shutdown" /><ref name="bank-free"/> After the discontinuation of Nintendo 3DS online services on April 8, 2024, Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter are the only Nintendo 3DS software, other than the Nintendo eShop, to retain online functionality.<ref>[https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/63227/ Announcement of Discontinuation of Online Services for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U software]</ref>

Pokémon Bank is maintained by [[Brigette]], who was previously the host of [[Pokémon Box Ruby and Sapphire]].

==Usage==
{{Incomplete|section|Before v1.5 (HOME compatibility) existed, what did the app do without a core series save file (both with and without a pass)? Did it give the player the option to purchase a pass?}}
When the application is first started, the user must select a language. Pokémon Bank supports the nine languages that the [[Generation VII]] [[core series]] games support: Japanese, English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. This language selection cannot be changed easily.

Pokémon Bank will then check for save files of 3DS core series games; if none exist, it will still give the player the option to perform a transfer to [[Pokémon HOME]] (but no other menu options, including Poké Transporter). If the player chose yes, it would prompt them to purchase a pass if they did not have one. (Virtual Console games do not count as compatible save files. Only a save file is needed; the save file does not need to have obtained the Pokédex yet.)

If the player does have a save file, the app would prompt the player to purchase a pass (it will not mention HOME first). Afterward, the app will proceed to the main menu, where Poké Transporter can be downloaded (and performing a transfer to HOME can be selected normally).

To view or move the Pokémon inside Pokémon Bank (other than transferring to HOME), the player must have a save file of a 3DS core series game that has obtained the Pokédex.

Due to the discontinuation of the 3DS's Nintendo eShop on March 27, 2023, it is no longer possible to purchase a pass, with all of Pokémon Bank's features now being free to use due to an "indefinite free trial" period. This "indefinite free trial" was implemented by setting the "Remaining Days" to run until December 31, 2050. It is unknown whether this is the intended closure date, or simply a placeholder, as the closure date for Bank's services has not been announced.

===Pokémon storage===
[[File:XY Prerelease Pokémon Bank box.png|thumb|Pokémon Bank being used in a copy of Pokémon X]]
Pokémon Bank allows {{player}}s to store up to 3,000 Pokémon from the games in an online cloud. This storage and user interface are similar to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] provided by [[PC]]s and has 100 Boxes capable of carrying 30 Pokémon each, named "Bank 1" through "Bank 100". Boxes can also be assigned to one of 10 groups with customizable names. The box and group names are set based on the language chosen when the player logs into Bank for the first time, and will not be renamed if the player changes their Bank language. (However, the player may manually rename the boxes and groups.)

The player can move Pokémon between the game and Pokémon Bank, or rearrange the Pokémon they have in them. Pokémon Bank also features extensive search options and filters.

Pokémon in Pokémon Bank appear only as minisprites, which exclude (for example) [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]].

====Poké Transporter====
{{main|Poké Transporter}}
Poké Transporter allows the transfer of Pokémon from the [[Generation V]] core series games and the Virtual Console releases of the Generation I and II core series games to Pokémon Bank. It was able to be downloaded separately after purchasing a pass for Pokémon Bank and connecting a 3DS core series save file to it.

The Transport Box, which is effectively the 101st Box, is reserved for use by Poké Transporter. Pokémon cannot be placed in it, except by Poké Transporter; the player can only move Pokémon out of the box, not into it (the app will display "Cannot be transported there.") The Transport Box cannot be renamed and its name will automatically change if the language of Pokémon Bank is changed.

====Rewards====
The player receives 100 [[Poké Mile]]s when Pokémon are deposited for the first time into Pokémon Bank. Additional Poké Miles are awarded for the length of time that a given Pokémon is deposited into Pokémon Bank. The amount of Poké Miles earned by the player increases if more Pokémon are deposited into Pokémon Bank. Poké Miles are earned at a rate of 1 Poké Mile per 30 Pokemon per day, with the fractional remainder carried over to the next day.<ref>[https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pokemon-bank-how-to-predict-the-number-of-pokemiles-bp-earned.319610/]</ref>

Accumulated Poké Miles may be transferred to the currently selected game via [[Pokémon Link]] either directly as Poké Miles or as [[Battle Point]]s (at a rate of 1 Battle Point for every 10 Poké Miles). If the player chooses not to transfer their Poké Miles, they will simply continue to accumulate. A maximum of 65,535 unclaimed Poké Miles may be held at once before they will stop accumulating.

====Restrictions====
[[Item]]s cannot be stored in Pokémon Bank. If the player deposits a Pokémon that is holding an item, the item will be removed and sent to the player's [[Bag]]. If the Bag is full, the item will disappear.

{{pkmn|Egg}}s, [[Cosplay Pikachu]], Black {{p|Kyurem}}, White Kyurem, Dusk Mane {{p|Necrozma}}, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and certain {{pkmn2|Totem}}-sized Pokémon introduced in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} (specifically {{p|Togedemaru}}, {{p|Araquanid}}, {{p|Ribombee}}, and {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Marowak}}) cannot be deposited in Pokémon Bank.

Pokémon with moves that were introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] cannot be moved to [[Pokémon X and Y]]. Likewise, Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] and Pokémon with moves introduced in said games cannot be moved to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

Any Pokémon that has ever been placed in a Generation VII game, or that was transferred from a Generation I or II game, cannot be transferred to the Generation VI games. Such Pokémon are outlined in a white square when using a Generation VI game with Pokémon Bank.

Pokémon Bank does not display the specific met location of any Pokémon, only displaying a region name depending on the Pokémon's [[game of origin]]. This applies even if Bank is currently connected to that game of origin.

Any Pokémon transferred from Pokémon Bank to {{g|HOME}} cannot be transferred back to Bank.

===Connectivity===
Any number of physical or digital copies of Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon can be used in conjunction with Pokémon Bank.

The Pokémon Bank account that a Nintendo 3DS system accesses depends on the system's [[Nintendo Network]] ID, which can only belong to one Nintendo 3DS system at a time. There is no way to transfer Pokémon directly between Pokémon Banks belonging to different Nintendo Network IDs.

While the Generation VI and VII core series games are region-locked and cannot be played if their region does not match the region of the Nintendo 3DS they are inserted in, Pokémon Bank is still able to communicate with these games regardless of their region. However, Nintendo does not make any guarantee for the performance of software or systems in the Nintendo 3DS family when used outside of their intended regions.

When Pokémon Bank (along with Poké Transporter) is downloaded, any restrictions on the Nintendo 3DS system for Shopping Services need to be removed within the Parental Controls before Pokémon Bank can be utilized. Any restrictions set in place pertaining to usage of the Nintendo 3DS's Internet browser also require removal each time that the Pokémon Bank software is used.

Version 1.5 added connectivity with [[Pokémon HOME]], allowing Pokémon stored in Bank to be transferred to HOME. Once the player chooses which Pokémon to transfer, they will be prompted to enter a key that is generated by HOME. This key only lasts three minutes before expiring. Any transfers may take several minutes.

===Passes===
While downloading the Pokémon Bank application was free, usage of its services required the purchase of a pass. A pass lasted for 365 days from purchase. If a previous pass had not expired when a new pass was purchased, the number of remaining days from the old pass was added to the new pass. Pokémon Bank prompted the player to purchase a new pass when the current pass was within 14 days of expiring.

When Pokémon Bank launched, the application's official site stated that if the player allowed their pass (free or annual) to expire, the Pokémon they have stored in Pokémon Bank will be deleted after an unspecified set amount of time.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131217194142/http://www.pokemonbank.com/en-us/faq/ Official Pokémon Bank site] (archive)</ref> In January 2017, when the site was updated for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, this statement was removed from the official site.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170127175148/http://www.pokemonbank.com/en-us/faq/ Official Pokémon Bank site] (archive)</ref> Players have reported a variety of experiences, ranging from claiming that their Pokémon were deleted after letting their pass lapse for only a few days<ref>https://www.resetera.com/threads/pokemon-home-announced-social-cloud-storage-and-transfer-service-for-pokemon-across-all-games-pogo-let%E2%80%99s-go-mainline-games.119561/page-4#post-21213944</ref> to claiming that their Pokémon have not been lost despite not renewing their pass for multiple years.

===National Pokédex===
Introduced in the version 1.3 update, Pokémon Bank features a [[National Pokédex]] that collects and consolidates information on Pokémon that have been registered as "seen" or "caught" in the Pokédexes of any Generation VI or VII core series game updated with Pokémon Bank. Users can view basic information and Pokédex entries from the Generation VI and VII core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate [[form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered, with the exception of [[Cosplay Pikachu]].

This [[Pokédex]] also includes an extensive search filter that provides, among other options, the ability to search for Pokémon by their [[List of Pokémon by availability|availability]] in the Generation VI and VII core series games, as well as their appearances in various [[regional Pokédex]]es, including the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]], [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto]], "[[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation III|Good Old Hoenn]]", [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh]], [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number in Pokémon Black and White|Unova]], [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number#Central Kalos Pokédex|Central Kalos]], [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number#Coastal Kalos Pokédex|Coastal Kalos]], [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number#Mountain Kalos Pokédex|Mountain Kalos]], [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Hoenn]], and Alola (both [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|SM]] and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|USUM]]) Pokédexes.

On December 25, 2013, Pokémon Bank and the Poké Transporter were both released in Japan, South Korea, and other Asian territories. Due to high volumes of traffic throughout the Nintendo Network caused by a large volume of [[Nintendo Network]] IDs being created,<ref>[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/statuses/415959724043956224 Twitter / NintendoAmerica]</ref> the [[Nintendo eShop]] was temporarily inaccessible.<ref>[http://kotaku.com/nintendo-online-services-broken-now-continuing-christm-1489822952 Kotaku - Nintendo's Online Services Broken Now, Continuing Christmas Malfunctions]</ref><ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/support/information/2013/1226.html Nintendo of Japan ~ "ニンテンドーeショップの接続障害に伴う『ポケモンバンク』の一時配信停止のお知らせ"]</ref> When the Nintendo eShop was accessible again on December 29, 2013,<ref>[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/417346368340885504 Twitter / NintendoAmerica]</ref> Pokémon Bank was removed from the Nintendo eShop (although players who had previously downloaded Pokémon Bank could still download Poké Transporter, which can only be downloaded through Pokémon Bank).{{fact}} In addition, the release of Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter for the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand—originally set to be December 27, 2013—was delayed due to the aforementioned issues.<ref>[https://archive.today/922EE Pokémon Bank Announcement | Nintendo 3DS Family | Nintendo Support] (archive)</ref>

On January 21, 2014, Pokémon Bank was re-released in Japan, South Korea, and other Asian territories.<ref>[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/425815499956445184 Twitter / NintendoAmerica]</ref>

The service was launched in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand on February 4, 2014.<ref>[https://twitter.com/NintendoEurope/status/430673592527769600 Twitter / NintendoEurope]</ref>

The service was launched in the Americas on February 5, 2014.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150221070006/http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3394 Pokémon Bank Trial Availability]</ref>

Upon initial launch, a free trial was available between December 25, 2013 and January 31, 2014. After the re-launch, this was extended to February 22, 2014 in Japan/South Korea and March 14, 2014 in North America/Europe/Australia.

==Trivia==
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]], certain [[Totem Pokémon|Totem-sized Pokémon]], fused {{p|Kyurem}}, and fused {{p|Necrozma}} are the only Pokémon available in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] core series games that cannot be stored in Pokémon Bank. However, the fused forms of Kyurem and Necrozma are featured in the [[Pokédex]] regardless.
* The only way to change the language in Pokémon Bank is to delete its save data. This also applies to changing between kana and kanji in Japanese. However, since Pokémon Bank does not support the 3DS's save data backup feature, and the 3DS does not provide a standalone way to delete the save data of a digital game/app, the only officially supported way to do this is to delete the software and redownload it from the 3DS eShop. Deleting Pokémon Bank's "extra data" from the 3DS Data Management menu is insufficient.
** Since the save data of Pokémon Bank is stored on the 3DS's SD card, and the goal is to only remove the save data (rather than modify it), it is also possible to work around the above issue by inserting the SD card into a computer, navigating to <code>Nintendo 3DS/<32 characters>/<32 characters>/title/00040000/000c9b00/data/00000001.sav</code>, and manually replacing the file with 128 KiB of zeros.

Pokédex (HOME)

2025-01-28T09:56:53Z

Jmvb: /* Pokédex entries */ I think the person who wrote this section never sync'd their bank dex up with USUM (you have to actually open the bank dex with usum connected for it to sync), Bank's dex does go up to Zeraora.

{{incomplete|section|Add images of Pokédex features (including images of the different kinds of information available about the Pokémon)}}
The '''[[Pokédex]]''' is a feature available in [[Pokémon HOME]].

==Pokédex interface==
{{incomplete|section|Explain the search/filters with details}}
The Pokédex main page includes a list of all Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] with the options to search with additional filters applied. It also includes the total number of registered species. In the Nintendo Switch version, the current [[time]] is displayed at the top-right corner.

===Regional Pokédexes===
Starting in the v2.0.0 update, the mobile version of Pokémon HOME also keeps track of the regional Pokédex for Pokémon originating from the following games, along with the number of species required to complete each Pokédex:

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are included in the Hisui Pokédex, but excluded from the other Pokédexes. {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} are also excluded from the Blueberry Pokédex, but are included in the Pokémon GO Pokédex. Completing an entry in one of these Pokédexes requires transferring into HOME a Pokémon that [[Game of origin|originates]] from that specific game. Besides the Pokémon GO Pokédex, each Pokédex features a progress bar of the player's completion and adds a crown icon next to the number of entries after total completion is achieved.

==Pokédex entries==
{{g|HOME}} includes [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] of all Pokémon as seen in the [[National Pokédex]].

It 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]], {{gen|VII}}, and {{gen|VIII}} core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Entries from {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} can only be viewed when HOME is connected to a Legends: Arceus save file that has the entry for that Pokémon completed to research level 10, if that Pokémon has been registered in HOME's Pokédex. However, the HOME Pokédex will register a Pokémon deposited from Legends: Arceus as caught and unlock any other game's Pokédex entries, if any, even if the research level in Legends: Arceus is not at level 10. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate [[form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered.

Completing the National Pokédex up to {{p|Eternatus}} (including [[Mythical Pokémon]]) makes the player eligible to {{DL|List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII|Magearna|receive}} an {{form|Magearna|Original Color}} {{p|Magearna}}, made available for the first time in this alternate form. 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.

When the player makes a transfer from {{g|Bank}}, their National Pokédex on HOME will update and sync to include the entries on their National Pokédex from Bank.

Pokédex entries from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, like in the game itself, only appear when the player reaches research level 10 for that Pokémon by completing enough [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)|research task]]s in the game. When Pokémon HOME is connected to a Legends: Arceus save file, all of that save file's complete Pokédex entries are added to HOME. When viewing an incomplete Legends: Arceus entry in HOME, it uses the following placeholder text: "This Pokémon is being investigated in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Complete research tasks to fill in this Pokémon's entry!"

Pokémon HOME also includes several Pokédex entries for {{g|Sword and Shield}} that cannot be seen in the games. This includes all Pokémon that were {{DL|List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Since Version 1.0.0|present}} in the 1.0 versions of the games, but did not actually appear in the game's Pokédex.

===Registering Pokémon and alternate forms===
The Pokédex registers data for any Pokémon and form that is deposited into HOME. Additionally, when any Pokémon are transferred from Bank to HOME, all Pokédex data in Bank is added to the Pokédex in HOME.

If the Pokémon has a [[Mega Evolution]], another form that can only be used in battle (e.g. {{p|Cherrim}}'s {{form|Cherrim|Sunshine Form}}), or a form that requires a held item (e.g. {{p|Silvally}}'s {{form|Silvally|alternate forms}}), the data for these forms is registered when any form of the Pokémon is deposited (this also applies to {{form|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga, Palkia, Giratina}}, and {{form|Arceus}}, despite these Pokémon not requiring a held item or battle to change forms in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], as they revert to their standard forms upon being deposited into HOME). In order to register the entry for Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}, a Rayquaza must be deposited knowing the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Registering a Pokémon's [[Gigantamax]] form requires depositing the Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor.

If a Pokémon has a form that requires combining two Pokémon (i.e. {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, or {{p|Calyrex}}), the entry for that form is registered when both Pokémon that make up that form are registered. Registering Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma will also register Ultra Necrozma.

{{p|Alcremie}}'s forms uniquely do not all need to be registered individually; instead, depositing an Alcremie registers all the forms with the cream type that was deposited, regardless of its [[sweet]] type.

If a Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]] is deposited, both genders are registered, except in the case of [[Shiny Pokémon]]. Depositing a Shiny Pokémon will register both the Shiny and regular entries for that species and form, and unlike non-Shiny Pokémon in the mobile version, depositing a Shiny Pokémon with a gender difference will register the Shiny entry only for that gender.

Depositing a Pokémon with a foreign [[language of origin]] unlocks that language's [[Foreign Pokédex entry|Pokédex entry]] for all forms of that species that have been registered.

[[Spiky-eared Pichu]], [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|partner Pikachu and Eevee]], all [[Cosplay Pikachu]] forms, all [[Totem Pokémon|Totem-sized Pokémon]], {{p|Revavroom}}'s [[Starmobile]] forms, {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}'s non-battle forms, and {{p|Ogerpon}}'s {{Tera}}stallized forms are not included in the Pokédex as alternate forms.

===Moves and Abilities===
The mobile version of Pokémon HOME has a section of the Pokédex where [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} are listed and can be registered. Prior to v2.0.0, moves and Abilities each occupied separate sections of the Pokédex; starting in v2.0.0, to make space for the regional Pokédex section, the move and Ability sections are merged into a single section titled "Others", where the move and Ability lists can be toggled between. The lists are arranged alphabetically. Registering a move or Ability adds a {{i|Poké Ball}} icon next to it.

The list of moves displays the [[type]] and [[Damage category|category]] of each move. Tapping a move or Ability in the list allows its description to be seen, taken from the most recent [[core series]] game in which it has a description (other than the generic one for unusable moves). It is also possible to search for Pokémon in the player's storage that know the selected move or have the selected Ability, or search for Pokémon in the Pokédex that can have the selected Ability. In v3.0.0, filters were added for each of the Nintendo Switch core series games; selecting any of these filters removes all moves or Abilities that are unusable or not present in that game and changes the descriptions to the ones from that game (though the move category is not changed, leading to the oddity of {{m|Double Hit}} being displayed as a physical move in the list for [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]), as well as removing the registered icons.

Moves can be registered if a Pokémon that knows the move (in any of its game-specific movesets) is deposited into HOME. The following moves are absent from the list due to the impossibility of registering them legitimately:
* {{m|Struggle}}
* {{m|Light of Ruin}}
* The [[signature move]]s of the two {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} from {{LGPE}}
* The signature moves of the [[Starmobile]]s
* [[Z-Move]]s
* [[Max Move]]s and [[G-Max Move]]s

Abilities can be registered if a Pokémon that has the Ability (in any of its game-specific sets of data) is deposited into HOME. However, they can also be registered by depositing a Pokémon into HOME that would be able to gain the Ability via a [[form]] change. For example, depositing a {{p|Gengar}} registers both {{a|Cursed Body}} and {{a|Shadow Tag}}, the former being its own Ability and the latter being attainable via [[Mega Evolution]]. This only applies if the alternate form has also been registered in the Pokédex (for example, {{a|Neuroforce}} can only be registered if a {{p|Necrozma}} is deposited and either {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}} has been registered, since this is required in order to register [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Ultra Necrozma]]). {{a|Embody Aspect}} is the only Ability that is absent from the list, as it is acquired only through the [[Terastal phenomenon]], with the unique Terastallized states of {{p|Ogerpon}} that have it not being considered separate forms in HOME.

'''Dragon Cheer''' (Japanese: '''ドラゴンエール''' ''Dragon Yell'') is a non-damaging {{type|Dragon}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IX]]. It is [[TM226]] in Generation IX.

==Effect==
Dragon Cheer increases the user's allies' [[critical hit]] ratio by one stage. If the affected Pokémon are {{type|Dragon}}, their critical hit ratio is increased by two stages instead. The effects of Dragon Cheer can be copied by {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Transform}}, {{a|Costar}}, {{a|Opportunist}}, and [[Mirror Herb]].

Dragon Cheer's effects apply based on the allies' type upon use of the move, and do not change if the allies' type changes later in battle. The effect of Dragon Cheer will remain even if switched in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet version 3.0.0, but it will be removed by switching in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet version 3.0.1 and onward.<ref>[https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/ja/page/189.html Official announcement] (in Japanese)</ref>

The move will fail if there is no adjacent ally, or if the ally is already under the effects of {{m|Focus Energy}} or Dragon Cheer.

===Other effects===
A {{p|Dipplin}} that knows this move will [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Hydrapple}} when leveled up.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Dragon}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev9|SV}}|The user raises its allies’ morale with a draconic cry so that their future attacks have a heightened chance of landing critical hits. This rouses Dragon types more.

'''Raichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ライチュウ''' ''Raichu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pikachu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Psychic}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Pikachu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. All Pikachu in Alola will evolve into this form regardless of their origin. It is the final form of Pichu in the Alola region.

==Biology==
Raichu is a bipedal, {{wp|rodent}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Raichu is covered in dark orange fur with a white belly. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outside, yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl. There is a circular yellow marking on each cheek where its electric sacs are, and it has a triangular, dark brown nose. Its arms and feet have patches of brown fur at the end, and the soles of its long feet are tan with a circular orange pad in the center. On its back are two horizontal brown stripes. Its long, thin tail has a lightning bolt-shaped end. This lightning bolt is chipped on females. Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from its body and glows slightly in the dark.

Raichu's tail is used to gather electricity from the atmosphere, or it can be planted in the ground to search for electricity. It also protects Raichu from its high-voltage power. Raichu can store over 100,000 volts of electricity, enough to knock out a {{p|Copperajah}}. If Raichu's sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up, and its muscles will become stimulated. However, it will become aggressive if it has stored too much electricity and stress. To prevent it from reaching this state, it discharges electricity through its tail into the ground. This leads to scorched patches near its nest. Being the result of evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Raichu is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests and woodlands}}. The main reason Raichu is rarely seen with Pokémon trainers is because people prefer the look it had as {{p|Pikachu}}. As revealed in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Raichu is not capable of learning speed attacks upon evolving and can only learn them when they're still Pikachu. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Raichu is known to sleep while discharging electricity, and a long tail is planted into the ground like a rod. It can electrocute anyone who comes near it while sleeping.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>

Raichu and its pre-evolved forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Alolan Raichu SM concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|Alolan Raichu are rarely seen on the ground, preferring to float on their tails, classic hodad behavior]]
[[File:Alolan Raichu standing anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Alolan Raichu standing off of its tail in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'']]
Raichu has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has lighter coloring and more rounded features. Its eyes are blue with yellow half-circles along the bottom. It has large yellow ears with an inner spiral toward the base and brown on the inside. These ears are thicker and less pointed than a standard Raichu's ear. In addition to its white belly, {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu has white markings on its paws with bright yellow lines between its digits. The stripes on its back have also turned white, and there is a small, white circular marking on each heel. The lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail has rounded edges. By collecting its psychic power in its tail, it can ride it like a {{wp|surfboard}} and float in the air. While its cheek sacs are still used to store electricity, rubbing them releases a sweet aroma while also getting a light shock. This is also thought to be connected to its Psychic abilities.

Alolan Raichu's origins were initially a mystery at the time. The people of Alola suggested it ate too many sweet and fluffy pancakes,<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raichu/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Raichu]</ref> especially those made with a secret Alolan recipe. However, researchers believe the change is related to Alolan Raichu's diet in general. It is also believed the weather and climate of the [[Alola]] region played a role in the transformation. Alolan Raichu is capable of unleashing star-shaped thunderbolts. It is also known by the name ''hodad''.

Alolan Raichu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Surge Surfer}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Raichu evolves from {{p|Pikachu}} and is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has a [[regional form]] that evolves from Pikachu and is the final form of Pichu in the Alola region.

==Trivia==

* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Alolan Raichu.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, there is a {{tc|Scientist}} at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] who will [[trade]] a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talks to him after the trade, he will mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake was due to the original translation of the script of the {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Japanese Blue}} (in which this person traded a Graveler for a Kadabra) rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This error was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the script was re-translated.
* Raichu's FireRed and Sun Pokédex entries discuss Raichu's electricity being able to knock out an Indian elephant. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, this is changed to {{p|Copperajah}}, which is based on the Indian elephant.
** This is also the only Pokédex entry in Legends: Arceus to mention a Pokémon not obtainable in [[Hisui]].
* Several Pokédex entries claim Raichu can discharge up to {{m|Thunderbolt|100,000 volts}}. However, its Stadium entry claims it can only discharge up to 10,000 volts. This is likely a translation error due to the way numbers are read in Japanese, where 100,000 literally reads "ten ten-thousands".
* Raichu [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appears in every regional Pokédex]] except the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]].
* Although {{p|Pikachu}} is the [[first partner Pokémon]] of {{game|Yellow}}, it is not possible to directly evolve it into Raichu in the game, and must be traded in from {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. This inability to evolve Pikachu is a reference to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.
* Raichu and its pre-evolved form both share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, and {{p|Pawmo}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
* Raichu is the 26th Pokémon in both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* Alolan Raichu is the only regional form Pokémon to have a {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer|Z-Move}} exclusive to it.
* Raichu is the most common Pokémon found amongst [[rival]]s, being used by five of them.
* Alolan Raichu is the only [[Alolan form]] available in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] that can only be obtained by transferring from other games, outside of [[Poké Portal News]] events.

===Concept and development===
Raichu and {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref name=USUM>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon." Interview with Ken Sugimori in ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]'', p. xxi</ref> The concept of Alolan Raichu came from [[Masafumi Nukita]], which also involved writing its [[Pokédex]] entries.<ref>https://archive.is/tS5lL</ref>

Raichu originally had an evolved form named "Gorochu" (Japanese: '''ゴロチュウ''' ''Gorochū''), which would have had two horns and fangs.<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/3/ Page 3 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref><ref>''[https://www.siliconera.com/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Pikachu Originally Had A Second Evolution Called ‘Gorochu’ With Large Fangs And Two Horns]'' — SiliconEra</ref> [[Ken Sugimori]] stated that while there was nothing wrong with its appearance, it was nonetheless omitted from {{game|Red and Green|s}}, as the staff found that the game balance was better without it, and the limited game space meant that some Pokémon originally designed to evolve twice were changed to evolve only once.<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref>

===Origin===
Raichu's legs and long tail resemble those of a {{wp|jerboa}} or {{wp|kangaroo rat}}.

{{rf|Alolan}} Raichu may be based on the concept of [[surfing Pikachu]] and the sport of {{wp|surfing}} itself, which originated in Hawaii (the inspiration for the [[Alola]] [[region]]), as well as the [[wiktionary:hodad|hodad]] concept of being a fake surfer; ''hodad'' is referred to as another name for Alolan Raichu in its [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}}. Its design and {{t|Psychic}} typing may have been influenced by [[Puka]], a surfing Pikachu that appeared in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' which had psychic powers and blue eyes. In the {{g|Stadium series}}, {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, {{XD}}, and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, Raichu rides on its tail when using the move {{m|Surf}}.

According to [[Ken Sugimori]], he asked [[Atsuko Nishida]] to design Alolan Raichu since she was the one who had worked on the original Raichu design. Nishida insisted that Raichu "has always been cuter than people might think", and designed Alolan Raichu to emphasize Raichu's cuteness; in particular, she designed it with the motif of {{wp|bread}}. The in-game lore of people believing that its evolution is induced by eating pancakes was added afterward to play up the concept.<ref name=USUM/> The fact that Alolan Raichu was designed after bread may have also inspired the sweet fragrance it can release from its cheeks, as well as the look of its paws which resemble {{wp|whipped cream}} decorations, {{wp|cream puff}}s, or ''{{wp|baozi}}''.

====Name origin====
Raichu may be a combination of 雷 ''rai'' (thunder) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (onomatopoeia for the squeak of a mouse).

'''Volt Tackle''' (Japanese: '''ボルテッカー''' ''Volteccer'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Electric}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Pikachu}}'s [[Evolution|evolutionary]] line. It can be upgraded to the special [[Z-Move]] {{m|Catastropika}} by Pikachu holding [[Pikanium Z]].

==Effect==
===Generation III===
Volt Tackle inflicts damage, and the user receives [[recoil]] damage equal to ⅓ of the damage done to the target.

Volt Tackle can be used as the second move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining 6 bonus appeal points if {{m|Charge}} was used in the previous turn.

===Generation IV onwards===
Volt Tackle now also has a 10% chance of {{status|paralyzing}} the target.

Volt Tackle can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if {{m|Charge}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
Volt Tackle's PP has been reduced to 5. It has a 30% chance of paralyzing the target for three turns, and it will also cure the user of drowsiness.

==Learnset==
===By {{pkmn|breeding}}===
From {{game|Emerald}} onward, if either parent of a baby {{p|Pichu}} holds a [[Light Ball]] when the Egg is produced, the Pichu will know Volt Tackle when it hatches. However, Volt Tackle is not an [[Egg Move]], and cannot be passed down by simply breeding with a parent that knows the move. The only way for Pichu to hatch knowing Volt Tackle is for one of the parents to hold a Light Ball.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Volt Tackle deals damage and the user receives recoil damage. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series, the recoil damage is equal to ⅛ of the user's maximum HP. From [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] onward, Volt Tackle may now cause {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|paralysis}} and the recoil damage is instead 20% of the user's max HP.

Since Volt Tackle can only be learnt as an [[Egg Move]] in the [[core series]] games, it is taught differently in the Mystery Dungeon games:
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], {{p|Pichu}} can learn Volt Tackle at level 50 if it has at least 333 [[IQ]] points (7.5 stars). If this requirement is not met until after reaching level 50, Volt Tackle can be relearned at the {{DL|Pokémon Square|Gulpin Link Shop}}.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], where Egg Moves are commonly present, {{p|Pichu}} that hatch from Eggs may know Volt Tackle.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}} can learn Volt Tackle by [[TM]]. The TM is obtained once Paradise reaches [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)#Paradise Rank|Perfect Rank]].
* In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}} can learn Volt Tackle at [[Hawlucha's Slam School]] by paying [[File:Poké currency.png|link=Poké]]10,000.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}} can learn Volt Tackle at the [[Gulpin Link Shop]] by paying [[File:Poké currency.png|link=Poké]]11,000, after completing the main story.

Since [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{sbw|Volt Tackle}} has been {{OBP|Pikachu|Super Smash Bros.}}'s [[Final Smash]]. When used, Pikachu will be enveloped by a blue ball of electricity. The ball does major damage and can even pass through platforms, though it is very hard to control. Despite it taking damage from Volt Tackle in the core series, Pikachu takes no damage from the move when used in the Super Smash Bros. series.

In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]], Volt Tackle is led by a smaller orb of light the player controls, making it easier to track. In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the returning fighter {{SSB|Pichu}} also gains Volt Tackle as its Final Smash; like Pichu's other electrical moves, it deals damage to it after use. Like many other Final Smashes in Ultimate, Volt Tackle has been made fully automatic and faster, making it easier to execute and allowing players to return to fighting faster.

====Trophy information====
''"Pikachu, transformed into a ball of light that can slam into foes. It can also fly to chase down those who try to jump out of range. Sparks get stronger when you press the attack button. However, its increased inertia makes midair movement tough. If you get carried away flying, the effect will end, and you'll destroy yourself. Be careful it doesn't happen to you."''

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Volt Tackle is {{p|Pikachu}}'s second move obtained at level 6 by upgrading {{m|Electroweb}} into it instead of {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The user charges the targeted enemy, becoming unstoppable, damaging and throwing the target in the air for 1.4s. At level 13, its cooldown is reduced by 2s.

==Trivia==
* Volt Tackle's Japanese name, ボルテッカー ''Volteccer'', comes from an attack used by [[List of references to Pulseman|Pulseman]], the protagonist of {{wp|Pulseman|the Game Freak game of the same name}}.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA91WPotG2I GAME FREAK Illustration Demonstration: Episode One [Ken Sugimori x Pulseman<nowiki>]</nowiki> - YouTube]</ref> Both attacks are in reference to {{wp|Tekkaman}}, whose signature attack is called Voltekka.
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] [[Pokémon manga|manga]], when Volt Tackle first appeared in [[PS180|''The Last Battle XIV'']], albeit in a much different fashion than most other [[canon|canons]], {{adv|Gold}} named it ''Super Rising Thunder''. In [[PS336|a future round]], however, the move has its [[core series]] name and, unlike before, it is depicted more like a [[physical move]] than a [[special move|special]] one.

'''Raichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ライチュウ''' ''Raichu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pikachu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Psychic}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Pikachu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. All Pikachu in Alola will evolve into this form regardless of their origin. It is the final form of Pichu in the Alola region.

==Biology==
Raichu is a bipedal, {{wp|rodent}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Raichu is covered in dark orange fur with a white belly. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outside, yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl. There is a circular yellow marking on each cheek where its electric sacs are, and it has a triangular, dark brown nose. Its arms and feet have patches of brown fur at the end, and the soles of its long feet are tan with a circular orange pad in the center. On its back are two horizontal brown stripes. Its long, thin tail has a lightning bolt-shaped end. This lightning bolt is chipped on females. Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from its body and glows slightly in the dark.

Raichu's tail is used to gather electricity from the atmosphere, or it can be planted in the ground to search for electricity. It also protects Raichu from its high-voltage power. Raichu can store over 100,000 volts of electricity, enough to knock out a {{p|Copperajah}}. If Raichu's sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up, and its muscles will become stimulated. However, it will become aggressive if it has stored too much electricity and stress. To prevent it from reaching this state, it discharges electricity through its tail into the ground. This leads to scorched patches near its nest. Being the result of evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Raichu is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests and woodlands}}. The main reason Raichu is rarely seen with Pokémon trainers is because people prefer the look it had as {{p|Pikachu}}. As revealed in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Raichu is not capable of learning speed attacks upon evolving and can only learn them when they're still Pikachu. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Raichu is known to sleep while discharging electricity, and a long tail is planted into the ground like a rod. It can electrocute anyone who comes near it while sleeping.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>

Raichu and its pre-evolved forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Alolan Raichu SM concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|Alolan Raichu are rarely seen on the ground, preferring to float on their tails, classic hodad behavior]]
[[File:Alolan Raichu standing anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Alolan Raichu standing off of its tail in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'']]
Raichu has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has lighter coloring and more rounded features. Its eyes are blue with yellow half-circles along the bottom. It has large yellow ears with an inner spiral toward the base and brown on the inside. These ears are thicker and less pointed than a standard Raichu's ear. In addition to its white belly, {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu has white markings on its paws with bright yellow lines between its digits. The stripes on its back have also turned white, and there is a small, white circular marking on each heel. The lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail has rounded edges. By collecting its psychic power in its tail, it can ride it like a {{wp|surfboard}} and float in the air. While its cheek sacs are still used to store electricity, rubbing them releases a sweet aroma while also getting a light shock. This is also thought to be connected to its Psychic abilities.

Alolan Raichu's origins were initially a mystery at the time. The people of Alola suggested it ate too many sweet and fluffy pancakes,<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raichu/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Raichu]</ref> especially those made with a secret Alolan recipe. However, researchers believe the change is related to Alolan Raichu's diet in general. It is also believed the weather and climate of the [[Alola]] region played a role in the transformation. Alolan Raichu is capable of unleashing star-shaped thunderbolts. It is also known by the name ''hodad''.

Alolan Raichu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Surge Surfer}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Raichu evolves from {{p|Pikachu}} and is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has a [[regional form]] that evolves from Pikachu and is the final form of Pichu in the Alola region.

In ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'', [[Visquez]] used a Raichu to defeat a Trainer's {{p|Hypno}}. In Ash's match, Raichu went up against Ash's Pikachu, but Ash withdrew Pikachu and sent out {{AP|Gengar}} in his place where the Shadow Pokémon managed to defeat Raichu.

==Trivia==

* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Alolan Raichu.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, there is a {{tc|Scientist}} at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] who will [[trade]] a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talks to him after the trade, he will mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake was due to the original translation of the script of the {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Japanese Blue}} (in which this person traded a Graveler for a Kadabra) rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This error was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the script was re-translated.
* Raichu's FireRed and Sun Pokédex entries discuss Raichu's electricity being able to knock out an Indian elephant. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, this is changed to {{p|Copperajah}}, which is based on the Indian elephant.
** This is also the only Pokédex entry in Legends: Arceus to mention a Pokémon not obtainable in [[Hisui]].
* Several Pokédex entries claim Raichu can discharge up to {{m|Thunderbolt|100,000 volts}}. However, its Stadium entry claims it can only discharge up to 10,000 volts. This is likely a translation error due to the way numbers are read in Japanese, where 100,000 literally reads "ten ten-thousands".
* Raichu [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appears in every regional Pokédex]] except the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]].
* Although {{p|Pikachu}} is the [[first partner Pokémon]] of {{game|Yellow}}, it is not possible to directly evolve it into Raichu in the game, and must be traded in from {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. This inability to evolve Pikachu is a reference to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.
* Raichu and its pre-evolved form both share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, and {{p|Pawmo}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
* Raichu is the 26th Pokémon in both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* Alolan Raichu is the only regional form Pokémon to have a {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer|Z-Move}} exclusive to it.
* Raichu is the most common Pokémon found amongst [[rival]]s, being used by five of them.
* Alolan Raichu is the only [[Alolan form]] available in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] that can only be obtained by transferring from other games, outside of [[Poké Portal News]] events.

===Concept and development===
Raichu and {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref name=USUM>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon." Interview with Ken Sugimori in ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]'', p. xxi</ref> The concept of Alolan Raichu came from [[Masafumi Nukita]], which also involved writing its [[Pokédex]] entries.<ref>https://archive.is/tS5lL</ref>

Raichu originally had an evolved form named "Gorochu" (Japanese: '''ゴロチュウ''' ''Gorochū''), which would have had two horns and fangs.<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/3/ Page 3 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref><ref>''[https://www.siliconera.com/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Pikachu Originally Had A Second Evolution Called ‘Gorochu’ With Large Fangs And Two Horns]'' — SiliconEra</ref> [[Ken Sugimori]] stated that while there was nothing wrong with its appearance, it was nonetheless omitted from {{game|Red and Green|s}}, as the staff found that the game balance was better without it, and the limited game space meant that some Pokémon originally designed to evolve twice were changed to evolve only once.<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref>

===Origin===
Raichu's legs and long tail resemble those of a {{wp|jerboa}} or {{wp|kangaroo rat}}.

{{rf|Alolan}} Raichu may be based on the concept of [[surfing Pikachu]] and the sport of {{wp|surfing}} itself, which originated in Hawaii (the inspiration for the [[Alola]] [[region]]), as well as the [[wiktionary:hodad|hodad]] concept of being a fake surfer; ''hodad'' is referred to as another name for Alolan Raichu in its [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}}. Its design and {{t|Psychic}} typing may have been influenced by [[Puka]], a surfing Pikachu that appeared in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' which had psychic powers and blue eyes. In the {{g|Stadium series}}, {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, {{XD}}, and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, Raichu rides on its tail when using the move {{m|Surf}}.

According to [[Ken Sugimori]], he asked [[Atsuko Nishida]] to design Alolan Raichu since she was the one who had worked on the original Raichu design. Nishida insisted that Raichu "has always been cuter than people might think", and designed Alolan Raichu to emphasize Raichu's cuteness; in particular, she designed it with the motif of {{wp|bread}}. The in-game lore of people believing that its evolution is induced by eating pancakes was added afterward to play up the concept.<ref name=USUM/> The fact that Alolan Raichu was designed after bread may have also inspired the sweet fragrance it can release from its cheeks, as well as the look of its paws which resemble {{wp|whipped cream}} decorations, {{wp|cream puff}}s, or ''{{wp|baozi}}''.

====Name origin====
Raichu may be a combination of 雷 ''rai'' (thunder) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (onomatopoeia for the squeak of a mouse).

"Clefairy, Clefable, Snubbull, and Granbull share the "Fairy Pokémon" category, which predates the introduction of the Fairy Egg Group and the Fairy-type." - just checking I'm not missing something or that the egg group got renamed, but Snubbull/Granbull were introduced at the same time as egg groups?

2024 Pokémon World Championships

2024-05-14T16:23:21Z

Jmvb: /* Video Game Championships */ Correcting a lot here. Auto Day2 was replaced with a round 1 bye. I removed the info about tournament structure (X-3 into Day2 and Day2 until top cut) as I do not believe this info has even been published and most of this section was wrong anyway. If there's a source feel free to add it back in

{{PrevNext
| prevlink = 2023 World Championships
| prev = 2023
| nextlink = 2025 World Championships
| next = 2025
| list = World Championships
| colorscheme = Unknown
}}
The '''2024 World Championships''' will be held in {{wp|Honolulu}}, {{wp|Hawaii}}, {{wp|United States}} in August 16-18, 2024. It was the ninteenth invitation-only championships for players of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], the fourteenth for players of the Pokémon video games, and the third for players of [[Pokémon GO]] and [[Pokémon UNITE]]. This was the sixteenth time the [[World Championships]] is held in the U.S., and the fourth time the event was held in Hawaii, having previously been held in {{wp|Waikoloa Village, Hawaii|Waikoloa Village}} in [[2007 World Championships (TCG)|2007]], [[2010 World Championships (TCG)|2010]] and [[2012 World Championships|2012]].

==Trading Card Game Championships==
The {{TCG|2024-25 Standard format}} was used for the Pokémon TCG Championships, allowing all cards with regulation mark F or later. Players received invitations from gaining enough Championship Points throughout the year or from the previous World Championships. The top cut for some rating zones were able to go straight to Day Two: the Top 2 of the Middle East and South Africa, Top 4 of Oceania, Top 12 of Latin America, Top 16 of US and Canada, and Top 22 of Europe.

Day One was composed of Swiss rounds, with players earning enough match points moving on to Day Two. Players competed in a new set of Swiss rounds on Day Two until a Top 8 was determined. The Top 8 then had a single elimination bracket, with the finals taking place on Day Three. All games were best of three.

===Junior Division===
Shao Tong Yen is the defending champion.

===Senior Division===
Gabriel Fernandez is the defending champion.

===Master Division===
Vance Kelley is the defending champion.

==Video Game Championships==
Players in territories managed by [[The Pokémon Company International]] received invitations from either: gaining enough Championship Points throughout the year, winning a Regional Championship, winning a Special Event in Europe, or coming first or second at an International Championship. Players in Asian territories (managed by [[The Pokémon Company]] and Pokémon Korea) earned invites by placing well in their respective National Championships, which were qualified for via in-game Official Competitions via [[Battle Stadium]]. Additionally, the top 4 in each age division from the previous World Championships received an automatic invite.

Top Championship Point earners in the TPCi rating zones received a round 1 bye: the Top 4 of Oceania, Top 8 of Latin America, Top 12 of the US and Canada, and Top 16 of Europe. The round 1 bye was also given to top finishers in the various Asian National Championships. This replaced the automatic Day 2 invitation players could earn in previous years.

Matches took place in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] and were all [[Double Battle]]s. Levels for all Pokémon were adjusted to level 50 and no duplicate Pokémon or items were allowed. Battles used the Regulation G ruleset which allowed for every Pokémon available in Scarlet and Violet, except for [[Mythical Pokémon]] and {{a|Battle Bond}} {{p|Greninja}}, however players were restricted to one [[Special Pokémon]] per team.

===Junior Division===
Sora Ebisawa is the defending champion.

===Senior Division===
Tomoyo Ogawa is the defending champion.

===Master Division===
Shohei Kimura is the defending champion.

==Pokémon GO Championships==
New to 2024, Pokémon GO adopted a champions points qualification system, similar to the one used in the Video Game and Trading Card Game Championship, however the there are no byes awarded to top-cut players, instead top-cut players were only awarded with travel stipends/awards. Players received invitations from gaining enough Championship Points throughout the year or from the previous World Championships.

Competitors for the Pokémon GO Championships were grouped into four double elimination pods to determine a Top 32. Top 32 competed in another double elimination bracket on Day Two, with grand finals taking place Day Three. The Great League format was utilized. All non-finals matches were best of three, while finals were best of five.

ItsAXN is the defending champion.

==Pokémon UNITE Championships==

Special Pokémon

2024-05-14T15:55:19Z

Jmvb: /* Official tournaments */

'''Special Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特別|とくべつ}}なポケモン''' ''Special Pokémon'') is a term referring to a group of Pokémon in the [[core series]] games and side games that are restricted or banned from certain official tournaments, battle facilities, and link battle formats. Most Special Pokémon are {{pkmn2|Legendary}} [[game mascot]]s. While the concept exists in all generations, the term was not used until [[Generation IV]].

==Terminology==
Whenever Special Pokémon are restricted or banned, Mythical Pokémon are also usually banned. While often only "special Pokémon" are mentioned to be banned when both Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon are, the description of the [[GS Cup]] indicates that Mythical Pokémon are not Special Pokémon.

The term "special Pokémon" is also used in a purely descriptive sense (as opposed to being used as a key term) in the [[Rotom Pokédex]]. Pokémon whose QR Codes cannot be viewed in the Rotom Pokédex (all Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, as well as the [[Ultra Beast]]s) are referred to as "special Pokémon". This usage is entirely distinct from the usage to describe Pokémon that are restricted from certain battles.

==List==
The following list only includes the Pokémon that are always considered to be Special Pokémon. Mythical Pokémon are considered to be Special Pokémon in most, but not all, contexts.

===Potential Special Pokémon===
In Generation VII, it is unclear whether {{p|Greninja}} with {{a|Battle Bond}} is considered a Special Pokémon. Unlike Special Pokémon, it is allowed in the [[Battle Tree]], but like them it is banned from the [[Battle Spot]] and [[Battle Stadium]].

==Usage restrictions==
{{incomplete|section|2=Restrictions in Generation VII, VIII and IX}}
===Official tournaments===


In [[Generation I]], many official tournaments banned {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}}, the only existing Special Pokémon and [[Mythical Pokémon]], respectively. As subsequent generations expanded both groups, the additional members were also banned from most official tournaments. However, some tournaments, such as the {{DL|Rule variants|Mobile Cup 2001}} and [[Pokémon Emerald Ultimate Frontier Brain Battle]], only banned Mythical Pokémon and allowed Special Pokémon. Several online competitions specifically allow Special Pokémon, or Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon.

At the [[Pokémon Video Game Showdown 2008]], {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, and all Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon were banned. In the [[2009 World Championships|2009 Pokémon Video Game Championships]], {{p|Tyranitar}} and all Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon were banned.

In the [[2010 World Championships|2010 Pokémon Video Game Championships]], a player could have up to 2 Special Pokémon on their team, but all Mythical Pokémon were banned.

In the Pokémon Video Game Championships from [[2011 World Championships|2011]] to [[2015 World Championships|2015]], all Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon were banned.

In the [[2016 World Championships|2016 Pokémon Video Game Championships]], a player could have up to 2 Special Pokémon on their team, but all Mythical Pokémon were banned.

In the Pokémon Video Game Championships from [[2017 World Championships|2017]] to [[2018 World Championships|2018]], all Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon were banned. This also included Ash-Greninja.

In the [[2019 World Championships|2019 Pokémon Video Game Championships]] and [[2022 World Championships|2022 Pokémon Video Game Championships]], a player could have up to 2 Special Pokémon on their team, but all Mythical Pokémon and Ash-Greninja were banned.

In the [[2023 World Championships|2023 Pokémon Video Game Championships]], Special Pokémon were banned.

In the [[2024 World Championships|2024 Pokémon Video Game Championships]], a player will be able to use up to 1 Special Pokémon on their team, but all Mythical Pokémon and Ash-Greninja are banned.

===Battle facilities===
In [[Generation II]], Special Pokémon and [[Mythical Pokémon]] can only enter the {{gdis|Battle Tower|II}} if the level chosen is 70 or higher ({{pkmn|Egg}}s are not allowed to enter).

From [[Generation III]] onward, {{pkmn|Egg}}s, [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon are banned from most battle facilities (except [[Trainer Tower]] and [[Trainer Hill]]). Additionally, in [[Generation IV]], {{p|Rotom}} will revert to its normal form when entered in a battle facility.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Special Pokémon and [[Mythical Pokémon]] can enter the {{gdis|Battle Tower|VIII}} without restriction but are banned from [[Restricted Sparring]].

===Battle modes===
Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon are banned from all cups in {{game|Yellow}}'s Colosseum 2, and all [[Stadium Cup]]s except [[Prime Cup]] in [[Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

In the Generation IV games' special rulesets in link battles, Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon are banned from the [[Fancy Cup]] and [[Light Cup]] (and the [[Little Cup]] implicitly). In the [[GS Cup]], a player can only have up to 2 Special Pokémon on their team, but all Mythical Pokémon are banned.

In [[Generation VI]], Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon cannot participate in {{DL|Pokémon Global Link|Rating Battles}} in [[Battle Spot]] [[Random Matchup]].

===Global Trade System===
From [[Generation VI]] onward on the [[Global Trade System]], the player can choose to filter out people seeking special Pokémon. Doing so also filters out players seeking Mythical Pokémon.

These Championships were initially intended to be held at {{wp|ExCeL London}} from August 14 to 16, 2020, but were canceled along with the 2020 [[Play!

[[File:WC London 2022 main stage.jpg|thumb|Photo of the main stage at the World Championships]]
The Pokémon Trading Card Game featured the {{TCG|2021-22 Standard format}}, using all cards from {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} onward. Players received invitations from gaining enough [[Championship Point]]s throughout the year, with the best of them receiving Day Two Invitations, or from [[2019 World Championships|the previous World Championships]].

Day One of the tournament consisted of Swiss rounds for all players who didn't receive a Day Two invitation. Players with two or fewer losses and no ties advanced to Day Two. Day Two consisted of a new set of Swiss rounds not using the previous day's records and players could change decks between days. Players from this round with two or fewer losses and no ties were then seeded into a single-elimination tournament.

===Junior Division===
Haruki Miyamoto of Japan was the defending champion.

Rikuto Ohashi of Japan became the new World Champion with a record of 6-0-1.

'''Pokémon HOME''' (Japanese: '''Pokémon HOME''') is a cloud service for {{wp|iOS}}, {{wp|iPadOS}}, {{wp|Android (operating system)|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.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zone differences, the app was released on February 11, 2020 in the Americas, even though it was released at the same time as the rest of the world.</ref>

It was announced at the [[Pokémon Presents#May 29, 2019|Pokémon 2019 Press Conference]] on May 29, 2019.

Pokémon HOME is managed by Pokémon researcher [[Grand Oak]], whose goal is to create a [[Pokédex]] that includes every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}.

==Features==
===Pokémon transfer===
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way [[transfer]] to and from all Switch [[core series]] games. Both the mobile and Switch versions allow one-way transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] (only with a Premium Plan) and [[Pokémon GO]].

====Compatibility with Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
Only Pokémon originally from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can be moved into (another copy of) Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and if such a Pokémon is transferred into a future game, it can no longer be moved back to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

Pokémon that arrive in HOME via transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] are automatically converted to the same format used by {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and therefore cannot enter Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

====Compatibility with Generation VIII====
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way transfer to and from all [[Generation VIII]] games, beginning with {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] that are compatible with Sword and Shield can be transferred to and from Sword and Shield freely and retain their movesets.

In version 2.0.0, HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. The set of data used for a Pokémon differs between Sword and Shield, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus, so a Pokémon's moves will be different for each game. If a Pokémon is transferred from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus to Sword and Shield, its [[origin mark]] will be replaced with the Galar symbol and its met location will be shown as "the [[Faraway place]]", though its actual origin mark will be restored if it is moved back into HOME. Additionally, because Legends: Arceus uses different [[Poké Ball]]s to the other games, Pokémon originally from Legends: Arceus will appear in a [[Strange Ball]] in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or a standard {{i|Poké Ball}} in Sword and Shield, while Pokémon not originally from Legends: Arceus will appear in a Strange Ball in Legends: Arceus (though the original Poké Ball of the Pokémon will be regained if it is moved back into HOME).

====Compatibility with Generation IX====
Pokémon HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokemon Scarlet and Violet]] on May 30, 2023 as part of version 3.0.0, allowing Pokémon to be moved freely between all core series Generation VIII and IX games.

On May 18, 2023, [[The Pokémon Company International]] announced that Pokémon HOME support with the games would release on May 24, 2023 at 01:00 UTC, but on May 19, the company announced it was a mistake and said that the actual release date was yet to be announced. No such announcement was made in Japanese by [[The Pokémon Company]], and unlike the later date, the earlier date did not appear in a notice inside the HOME app itself.

In an apparent translation error, the Spanish version of the notice stated that staggered logins would take place from May 30, 2023 06:00 UTC to May 25, 2023 06:00 UTC, instead of the latter date being May 31, 2023 06:00 UTC.<ref>https://twitter.com/MelkorPxP/status/1661886523539697664</ref>

====Compatibility with Pokémon GO====
{{main|GO Transporter}}
One-way transfers from [[Pokémon GO]] to HOME were made available on November 11, 2020.<ref group="note" name="releasego">Due to time zone differences, GO Transporter was released on November 10, 2020 in the Americas.</ref> Upon the first transfer, the player will also receive a {{p|Melmetal}} that can [[Gigantamax]] in Pokémon HOME.

Transfers from Pokémon GO are subject to their own different set of limitations, modifications, and microtransactions.

====Limitations====
* The Totem-sized Pokémon that can be in [[Pokémon Bank]] are reduced to their normal sizes when transferred to Pokémon HOME.
* Pokémon that cannot be [[trade]]d in-game also cannot be deposited, including the {{ga|partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}}, and the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{p|Calyrex}}.
* Like in Pokémon Bank, [[held item]]s cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME; depositing a Pokémon holding an item into HOME causes that item to be returned to the [[Bag]] in the game the Pokémon was deposited from.
* From v2.0.0 onward:
** [[Gigantamax]] Factor {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Meowth}} cannot be transferred to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{g|Legends: Arceus}} or {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. This is to prevent them from [[evolution|evolving]] in games that do not recognize the Gigantamax Factor.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SerebiiNet/status/1526900020011745282?s=20&t=EjiW0CDu0avbVjizmVLcmA @SerebiiNet]</ref>
** {{p|Nincada}} [[Game of origin|originally from]] Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], and Nincada from outside of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into those games.
*** This is likely a redundant protection against several cloning glitches due to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's "PokeDupeChecker" having cases to exclude natural clones such as Ninjask/Shedinja, and Pokémon originating from other games from being flagged and subsequently restricted from trades, HOME, and the [[Pokémon Nursery]].<ref>https://twitter.com/Kaphotics/status/1495965127031816192</ref>
** {{p|Spinda}} cannot be transferred between Pokémon HOME and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. This is likely due to a [[List of glitches (Generation VIII)#Spinda spot pattern glitches|glitch]] in the latter wherein the bytes of Spinda's [[encryption constant]] are read as a {{wp|Endianness|big-endian}} value rather than a little-endian value, which would cause Spinda's spot pattern to change on transfer if transfers were possible.
** In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Pokémon that can only be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]] once per save file (such as {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}) can only be (newly) deposited once per save file. This is in order to mitigate the Dialga/Palkia rematch glitch.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuVzL1Wf6-I</ref>
*** This check is based on save file rather than [[OT]]. For example, if two players playing Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl both catch a {{p|Regigigas}}, then one player [[trade]]s their Regigigas to the other, then that player attempts to deposit both Regigigas into HOME, HOME will block the second deposit. This can be worked around if one player deposits and withdraws their own Regigigas from HOME first before trading to the other player, since then that player is no longer attempting to ''newly'' deposit twice (one of the Regigigas has been in HOME before).
**** This cannot be circumvented with multiple HOME accounts, as it will recognize the savefile regardless.
*** As a result, it is possible to run into this restriction even with official event Pokémon - if the player receives {{DL|List of event Pokémon distributions (Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl)|Ten'i Village Regigigas}} in Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, then it cannot be deposited if the [[Snowpoint Temple]] Regigigas is deposited, and vice versa, unless the player can trade one of the Regigigas to another game without going through HOME.

===Pokémon storage===
On the free Basic Plan, up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited in one box named the "Basic Box". The Basic Box cannot be manually organized and will always sort Pokémon from most to least recently deposited/traded for (with most recent at the top left). (Ties are broken by Pokédex order.)<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/orange-islands-sqsa-thread.3603112/page-63#post-9241707</ref>

On the Premium Plan, up to 6,000 Pokémon can be deposited in 200 boxes named "HOME 1" through "HOME 200", which can be freely organized as with core series PC boxes. When a Basic Plan is upgraded, all Pokémon in the Basic Box appear in HOME 1; however, the reverse is not true. When a Premium Plan ends, only the 30 Pokémon most recently deposited/traded for 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.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039615831-If-I-deposit-31-or-more-Pok%C3%A9mon-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-and-my-Premium-Plan-expires-what-will-happen-to-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref>

The Nintendo Switch version of HOME has access to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] within every save file from all accounts on the Switch. This means that as long as a save file exists, Pokémon HOME has access to all of the player's Pokémon (except those in the [[party]]), and can use the boxes for local storage, with no need to keep the cartridges or digital installations.

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.

The [[stats judge]] function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.

Pokémon do not display specific met locations while in the Nintendo Switch version of HOME, instead only displaying the region corresponding to their [[game of origin]]. As of v2.0.0, the mobile version will display both a region and a location name within that region, but for Pokémon transferred from the Virtual Console games through Poké Transporter, the latter will simply be a second copy of the region name, and for Pokémon transferred from [[Generation III]] or {{gen|IV}}, the latter location will be displayed as "Poké Shifter" (the transliterated Japanese name for [[Poké Transfer]]).

====Game-specific data and HOME tracker value====
{{Incomplete|section|Check whether contest conditions, sheen, Ribbons, and marks are included in game-specific data or not}}
Depositing any Pokémon into HOME for the first time will assign it a HOME tracker value, a 64-bit number unique to it that is used to detect [[Pokémon cloning|clones]] and other [[Cheating|hacked]] Pokémon. For example, a Pokémon hacked to have a random tracker value can be detected as HOME will not remember having assigned this value in the past. The tracker value is also used for the restriction on newly depositing certain {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon from [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]; a Pokémon is being newly deposited if it does not have a HOME tracker value already. This tracker value is stored with the Pokémon and cannot be changed.

From v2.0.0 onwards, the tracker value is also used to keep track of a Pokémon's game-specific data. Each Pokémon has up to four sets of data depending on which games it has been in: {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. Pokémon from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon GO]], and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] use the same set of data as Sword and Shield as a default. Most Pokémon obtained from gifts within Pokémon HOME itself also default to Sword and Shield, though some default to other games. Data that is not transferred between games is stored in the server, such as:
* A Pokémon's four [[move]]sets (including changes to [[PP]] from [[PP Up]]s and [[PP Max]]es), as well as, from v3.0.0 onwards, its {{Abilities}}.
* Met location (and, if applicable, {{pkmn|Egg}} hatch location), included only in the Pokémon's original data set.
* [[Gigantamax]] Factor, [[TR]] flags, and {{DL|Pokémon Camp|sociability}}, included only in the Pokémon's Sword and Shield data set.
* [[Effort level]]s, {{pkmn2|alpha}} status, [[Zisu]]'s [[Training grounds#Move Tutor|Move Tutor]] moves, and [[move mastery]] status, included only in the Pokémon's Legends: Arceus data set.
* [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera Type]], included only in the Pokémon's Scarlet and Violet data set.
For example, the alpha Pokémon flag is not stored in the Pokémon data of games other than Pokémon Legends: Arceus. If a Pokémon from Legends: Arceus is transferred to another game and back, it keeps its alpha flag due to HOME associating the flag with that Pokémon's HOME tracker value, with the flag being retained in its Legends: Arceus set of data.

Pokémon transferred from Bank, GO, or Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, as well as most Pokémon from gifts in HOME, retain their original moves (or, in the case of Pokémon from GO, their moves as determined by [[GO Transporter]]) when transferred to Pokémon Sword and Shield; this is treated as the Sword and Shield moveset for that Pokémon. When a Pokémon is transferred to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Legends: Arceus, or Scarlet and Violet for the first time, or when a Pokémon from any of those games (or a gift in HOME corresponding to any of those games) is transferred to Sword and Shield for the first time, a new moveset is generated for that game's data set, using the four most recent level-up moves of that species in that game. A Pokémon's potential new moveset can be seen while transferring it, but it is not saved until the transfer is complete.

In v3.0.0, due to a bug, Abilities were stored in game-specific data. Any changes to a Pokémon's Ability using an [[Ability Capsule]] or [[Ability Patch]] in one game did not affect its Ability in other games it already had data for. This was corrected in v3.1.0.

The set of data displayed when a Pokémon's [[summary]] is viewed in HOME varies. In the Nintendo Switch version prior to v3.0.0, only the Sword and Shield set of data would be displayed for all Pokémon, unless the application was currently connected to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus, in which case the data sets would match this; Pokémon not compatible with any [[Generation VIII]] game would display no [[stat]]s or [[move]]s from v2.0.0 to v3.0.0. Starting in v3.0.0, if Pokémon HOME is currently connected to a game, Pokémon compatible with that game will display the corresponding data set, while others will display the set of the game that they were in most recently; if HOME is not currently connected to a game, the default data set for all Pokémon will be that of the game they were in most recently, but if a Pokémon has multiple sets, they can be switched between using the "Change View" option. The type of [[Poké Ball]] shown will change depending on which set of data is being displayed, though the [[origin mark]] will always be correct. In the mobile version prior to v3.0.0, the set of data displayed for a Pokémon would be that of the game it was in most recently; starting in v3.0.0, the default data set shown matches its most recent game, but other data sets can also be viewed. Both the type of Poké Ball shown and the origin mark will always be correct, as well as the met location.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372709736596-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-Sheen-or-condition-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372695365652-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-effort-levels-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526950194373226497</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6425814626580-Why-can-t-I-see-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-s-moves-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526917289500585984</ref>

===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 Trade]]s and [[Surprise Trade]]s, 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.
* '''[[Global Trade System|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. There is a limit of 10 trades per day, regardless of whether the Basic Plan or Premium Plan is being used.

At least some [[event Pokémon]] appear to be impossible to trade for about a week to a few weeks after their initial release. This restriction applies separately to even different language versions of the same event Pokémon if they are released at different times.<ref>https://reddit.com/r/PokemonHome/comments/k0iagj/is_zarude_trade_locked_again/</ref><ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/a-fools-errand-completing-pokemon-home-without-paying-a-penny-complete.3673315/page-3</ref>

===Pokédex===
====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]], {{gen|VII}}, and {{gen|VIII}} core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Entries from {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} can only be viewed when HOME is connected to a Legends: Arceus save file that has the entry for that Pokémon completed to research level 10, if that Pokémon has been registered in HOME's Pokédex. However, the HOME Pokédex will register a Pokémon deposited from Legends: Arceus as caught and unlock any other game's Pokédex entries, if any, even if the research level in Legends: Arceus is not at level 10. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate [[list of Pokémon with form differences|form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered.

The mobile app version of Pokémon HOME also allows players to view the possible [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} a Pokémon can have.

Upon completing the National Pokédex up to {{p|Eternatus}}, an Original Color {{p|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.

=====Registering Pokémon and alternate forms=====
The Pokédex registers data for any Pokémon and form that is deposited into HOME.

If the Pokémon has a [[Mega Evolution]], a form that can only be used in battle (e.g. {{p|Cherrim}}'s {{form|Cherrim|Sunshine Form}}), or a form that requires a held item (e.g. {{p|Silvally}}'s {{form|Silvally|alternate forms}}), the data for these forms is registered when any form of the Pokémon is deposited (this also applies to {{form|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga, Palkia, Giratina}}, and {{form|Arceus}}, despite these Pokémon not requiring a held item or battle to change forms in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], as they revert to their standard forms upon being deposited into HOME). In order to register the entry for Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}, a Rayquaza must be deposited knowing the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

If a Pokémon has a form that requires combining two Pokémon (i.e. {{form|Kyurem}}, {{form|Necrozma}}, or {{form|Calryex}}), the entry for that form is registered when both Pokémon that make up that form are registered. Registering Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma will also register Ultra Necrozma.

[[Spiky-eared Pichu]], [[Cosplay Pikachu]], all [[Totem Pokémon|Totem-sized Pokémon]], [[Revavroom]]'s [[Starmobile]] forms, [[Koraidon]] Limited Build and [[Miraidon]] Low-Power Mode do not appear in the Pokédex as alternate forms.

If a Pokémon with a gender difference is deposited, both genders are registered except in the case of [[Shiny Pokémon]] (see below).

Registering a Pokémon's [[Gigantamax]] form requires depositing the Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor.

Depositing a [[Shiny Pokémon]] will register both the Shiny and regular entries for that species and form. Unlike non-Shiny Pokémon on the mobile version, depositing a Shiny Pokémon with a gender difference will only register the Shiny entry for that gender.

Depositing a Pokémon with a foreign [[language of origin]] unlocks that language's [[Foreign Pokédex entry|Pokédex entry]] for all forms of that species that have been registered.

Additionally, when any Pokémon are transferred from Bank to HOME, all Pokédex data in Bank will be added to the Pokédex in HOME.

====Regional Pokédex====
Starting in the v2.0.0 update, the mobile version of Pokémon HOME also keeps track of the regional Pokédex for Pokémon originating from the following games, along with the number of species required to complete each Pokédex:

|}

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are included in the Hisui Pokédex, but excluded from the other Pokédexes. Completing an entry in one of these Pokédexes requires transferring into HOME a Pokémon that [[Game of origin|originates]] from that specific game. Excluding the Pokémon GO Pokédex, each Pokédex features a progress bar of the player's completion and add a crown icon next to the number of entries after total completion is achieved.

====Moves and Abilities====
The mobile version of Pokémon HOME has a section of the Pokédex where [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} are listed and can be registered. Prior to v2.0.0, moves and Abilities each occupied separate sections of the Pokédex; starting in v2.0.0, to make space for the regional Pokédex section, the move and Ability sections are merged into a single section titled "Others", where the move and Ability lists can be toggled between. The lists are arranged alphabetically. Registering a move or Ability adds a {{i|Poké Ball}} icon next to it.

The list of moves displays the [[type]] and [[Damage category|category]] of each move. Tapping a move or Ability in the list allows its description to be seen, taken from the most recent [[core series]] game in which it has a description (other than the generic one for unusable moves). It is also possible to search for Pokémon in the player's storage that know the selected move or have the selected Ability, or search for Pokémon in the Pokédex that can have the selected Ability. In v3.0.0, filters were added for each of the Nintendo Switch core series games; selecting any of these filters removes all moves or Abilities that are unusable or not present in that game and changes the descriptions to the ones from that game (though the move category is not changed, leading to the oddity of {{m|Double Hit}} being displayed as a physical move in the list for [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]), as well as removing the registered icons.

Moves can be registered if a Pokémon that knows the move (in any of its game-specific movesets) is deposited into HOME. The following moves are absent from the list due to the impossibility of registering them legitimately:
* {{m|Struggle}}
* {{m|Behemoth Blade}}
* {{m|Behemoth Bash}}
* {{m|Glacial Lance}}
* {{m|Astral Barrage}}
* The [[signature move]]s of the [[Partner Pokémon (game)|partner Pokémon]]
* {{m|Light of Ruin}}
* [[Z-Move]]s
* [[Max Move]]s and [[G-Max Move]]s

Abilities can be registered if a Pokémon that has the Ability (in any of its game-specific sets of data) is deposited into HOME. However, they can also be registered by depositing a Pokémon into HOME that would be able to gain the Ability via a [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]] change. For example, depositing a {{p|Rayquaza}} registers both {{a|Air Lock}} and {{a|Delta Stream}}, the former being its own Ability and the latter being attainable via [[Mega Evolution]]. This only applies if the alternate form has also been registered in the Pokédex (for example, {{a|Neuroforce}} can only be registered if a {{p|Necrozma}} is deposited and either {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}} has been registered, since this is required in order to register [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Ultra Necrozma]]). Unlike with moves, the Ability list contains every Ability in the core series, as all of them are possible to register.

===Mystery Gifts===
{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)}}
{{main|List of other event distributions (Generation VIII)#Shiny Zeraora Armorite Ore|List of other event distributions (Generation VIII)}}
{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions (Generation IX)}}
Gifts can be received using the mobile app's [[Mystery Gift]] feature. Pokémon received in this way are placed directly into the storage in Pokémon HOME. The feature can also generate [[serial code]]s for item distributions in a [[Nintendo Switch]] game.

When first starting Pokémon HOME, the player will already have a {{p|Pikachu}} in their storage. When first starting the mobile version in particular (regardless of whether the Nintendo Switch version has been used yet), [[Grand Oak]] will give the player a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, each of which have their [[Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities]]. Various other Pokémon may also be received from the Gift Box in the mobile version for completing certain tasks. Pokémon obtained from gifts in HOME use "Pokémon HOME" as their met location rather than any specific [[region]]; despite this, the majority of them use [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]] as their [[game of origin]], with some using other Nintendo Switch core series games.

===Achievements===
In the mobile version, the player can complete {{OBP|Challenges|HOME}} to unlock stickers.

In the Nintendo Switch version, the player can complete {{OBP|Research Task|HOME}}s.

===Points===
Pokémon HOME Points serve as a currency of sorts, replacing [[Poké Mile]]s from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Every midnight UTC, the player gains a Pokémon HOME Point for every 31 stored Pokémon (rounded down). This calculation includes any inaccessible Pokémon the player may have in HOME as a result of a downgrade to the free plan. An account can accumulate a maximum of 99,999 Points at once.

Pokémon HOME Points can then be converted and transferred into [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]] games in the Nintendo Switch version:
* 30 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 [[Battle Point]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* 20 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 Battle Point in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 1 [[Merit Point]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 10 [[League Point]]s in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

===Move Reminder===
The 3.0.0 update added [[Move Reminder]] functionality in the Nintendo Switch version. The moves that can be learned through this feature are the standard [[level]] up moves for the game in use, as well as any moves in other game movesets (including both current moves and moves flagged as re-learnable) that are legal for the game in use. For example, a {{p|Tauros}} that knows {{m|Take Down}} in its [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] moveset can be taught Take Down in its [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] moveset using this feature, as Tauros can be taught Take Down in Scarlet and Violet via [[TM]]. However, a {{p|Moltres}} with {{m|Burn Up}} in its Pokémon Sword and Shield moveset cannot be taught Burn Up in its Pokémon Scarlet and Violet moveset, as Moltres cannot learn Burn Up in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet by any means.

This feature is the only way to access several previously [[Egg_Move#Unobtainable_Egg_Moves|unobtainable Egg Moves]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

===Other===
Players can customize their item called a binder in My Room using stickers obtained by completing [[Challenges (HOME)|challenges]].

In the mobile version, players can also view Battle Data and News, replacing the Rankings, Distribution Regulations, and Event Calendar features of the Pokémon Global Link.

==Bugs and errors==
*The [[regional Pokédex]] for [[Pokémon GO]] that was added to the mobile version in v2.0.0 contains every Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] except for [[Mythical Pokémon]], which includes Pokémon that have not been released in Pokémon GO, as well as {{p|Spinda}} which cannot be transferred from that game, thus making it impossible to complete this Pokédex.
*In the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] in the mobile version, since the ability to request and search for Pokémon with specific forms and [[Language of origin|languages of origin]] was added, selecting to exclude requests for Pokémon the user does not have does not exclude requests for forms or languages that the user does not have as long as they have at least one of the Pokémon in any form or language.
*Due to a bug with how HOME handles punctuation, {{P|Farfetch'd}} and {{P|Sirfetch'd}} without [[nickname]]s transferred from Pokémon Bank or Pokémon GO will act as though they have nicknames, and cannot be re-nicknamed after being moved into a game. This is due to HOME assigning the incorrect apostrophe, the species name being "Farfetch’d" or "Sirfetch’d" and the nickname being assigned as "Farfetch'd" or "Sirfetch'd" instead.
*If a Sandy Cloak or Trash Cloak {{p|Burmy}} in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] or [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Mothim}} and is then deposited into HOME, it will not count towards the Sinnoh or Hisui regional Pokédexes (but will still count towards the National Pokédex).<ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1527278158872924160</ref>
*In the mobile version's [[National Pokédex]], the total number of Pokémon shown at the top of the page always includes all [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], even if the user has not selected to show all forms.

===Fixed===
*For approximately the first eight hours of release (February 12, 2020 between 01:00 UTC and 09:00 UTC), any [[Hyper Training]] performed in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon]] was lost upon transferring from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Details on how to restore it were announced in the app and on the official support websites.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-support.com/news/s/article/000002142 ''【Pokémon HOME】既知の不具合について - ポケットモンスター (<nowiki>[Pokémon HOME]</nowiki> Known bugs)'' - pokemon-support.com] (Japanese) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref><ref>[https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/news/972 ''현재「Pokémon HOME」에서 확인된 이상 현상에 대하여 - 포켓몬 공식 사이트 (About the anomalies currently identified in "Pokémon HOME")'' - pokemonkorea.co.kr] (Korean) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref>
**Pokémon HOME went down for maintenance on February 25, 2020 between 01:30 and 11:30 UTC, during which any affected Pokémon stored in HOME at the time regained their Hyper Training.
*Initially, HOME would automatically delete any Pokémon with duplicate tracker values on the assumption that they were [[Cheating|hacked]] [[Pokémon cloning|clones]]; however, this behavior would cause one of a {{p|Ninjask}} and {{p|Shedinja}} pair to be deleted as the HOME tracker value was among the data copied to Shedinja.
**This was partially fixed sometime between February 25, 2020 and February 28, 2020 when HOME would instead disallow a Pokémon with a duplicate tracker value from being deposited.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1232391734279254018</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1233603766798209025</ref> It was fully fixed sometime around April 23, 2020, and depositing a Ninjask and Shedinja with duplicate tracker values will now cause HOME to reassign the Shedinja a new tracker value.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1253373524225470469</ref> The Shedinja will have its tracker reassigned the first time it is deposited into HOME, regardless of what its [[game of origin]] is, whether it previously had a HOME tracker value from visiting HOME as a Nincada, or whether it is deposited into HOME at the same time as the matching Ninjask.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-brilliant-diamond-and-shining-pearl-release-19th-nov-2021.3679043/post-9269516</ref>
*In the Nintendo Switch versions before v2.0.0, all {{p|Arceus}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|forms]] were considered {{type|Normal}} instead of their actual [[type]]s except for the {{type|Dragon}} and {{type|Fairy}} forms.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, when using the "All Forms" filter in the Pokédex, [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Pumpkaboo_and_Gourgeist|Average Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist]] did not appear with their three other forms and were not counted in the total number of forms displayed at the top of the page. Additionally, the Super Size forms replaced the Average Size forms as the default forms shown in the [[National Pokédex]], though viewing either Pokémon's Pokédex entry still displayed all four sizes. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, the user's boxes from the Nintendo Switch version would not be displayed on the label selection screen when selecting Pokémon for a trade. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version, after using the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or Wonder Box, the entries in the [[regional Pokédex]]es would be reset and would only have entries registered for Pokémon currently in HOME, lacking any entries registered for Pokémon that were not in HOME at the time the bug occurred. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 between May 18, 2022 06:00 UTC and May 27, 2022 01:00 UTC, some players would receive error code 10015 an unknown percentage of the time after depositing Pokémon and attempting to save changes, preventing Pokémon from being deposited. This was fixed in v2.0.1, and affected players who were on the Premium Plan at the time received 10 free days (including those whose subscriptions ended between receiving the error and the release of v2.0.1).<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6560421494932-Update-Info-for-the-Nintendo-Switch-Version-ver-2-0-1-</ref>
*In the mobile version only, [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black Kyurem]]'s Pokédex entries for [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] were the same as those of regular {{p|Kyurem}}, even though Black Kyurem has its own entries in the Switch version. This was fixed in v2.0.2.
*Starting in v2.0.0 in the Switch version only, Pokémon that were [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon GO]], or [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] but had not been moved to a compatible game in [[Generation VIII]] (or were not compatible with any games in that [[generation]]) would not have their [[base stats]], [[effort values]], [[individual values]], or [[move]]s shown, even if the player chose not to connect any game with HOME. This was fixed in v3.0.0.
*In the mobile version in v3.0.0, all Spinda would always display the same spot pattern when viewed in their [[summary]], regardless of their actual patterns. This was fixed in v3.0.1.
*In the mobile version, although {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} are counted as "special Pokémon" for the purpose of the GTS's filters, they were initially included in the list of the most popular Pokémon requests that excludes special Pokémon. This was later corrected, with Koraidon and Miraidon now being consistently considered special Pokémon.
*Between May 30, 2023 06:00 UTC and July 4, 2023 00:00 UTC, the [[alpha Pokémon]] caught as part of [[Task#Missions|Missions]] 14 through 16 in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] would fail to have their [[Size and weight variation|scale]] value set to the maximum when transferred to [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], making them ineligible for the Jumbo [[Mark]]. Affected Pokémon could have their scale set to the correct value by depositing and withdrawing from HOME.

==Trivia==
* All of the Pokémon appear in Pokémon HOME posed in the same position as their official art, with Pokémon from the [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} taking on their poses from their redesigned art from Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} respectively.
** Furthermore, [[Shiny Pokémon]] appear as Shiny, instead of their usual colorations, and [[gender differences]] are visible.
** In the Nintendo Switch version, these static renders are used on the [[summary]] screen. On the mobile version, full 3D models are used instead, though the renders are still used as menu sprites like in the Switch version. As a result, the location of {{p|Spinda}}'s spots is only visible in the mobile version, as Spinda's render does not change to match its spots.
** In the Nintendo Switch version, some of these renders were improved in version 1.2.<ref>https://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo_switch/pokemonhome/</ref>
* 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.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_HOME_(iOS,_Android) TCRF - Pokémon HOME (iOS / Android) unused content]</ref>
* The Nintendo Switch version cannot be used while the mobile version is being used at the same time with the same account, and vice versa.
* Prior to version 1.1, friend trades were restricted to local trades only. This restriction was lifted to celebrate the release of version 1.1, allowing players to trade with each other no matter how far away they are from each other. This was initially intended to be temporary; however, it appears to have been a permanent change, as over a year and several updates later it has not been reverted.
* Each HOME account generates its own [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and [[Trainer ID number#Secret ID|secret ID]], which is assigned to some Pokémon received from [[Mystery Gift]]s in HOME. To prevent these Pokémon with a [[personality value]] of <code>00000000</code> (hexadecimal) from being {{Shiny}}, rather than assigning a different personality value, HOME will never generate an account's ID numbers where the combination results in that personality value being calculated as Shiny.<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/issues/3007</ref>
* Prior to HOME's major v2.0.0 update, the servers went down for maintenance between 00:00 UTC and 06:00 UTC on May 18, 2022. Afterward, users were given staggered login times for 19 hours (until 01:00 UTC May 19, 2022) to reduce server load. However, newly created accounts after the maintenance were not staggered and could log in immediately.
* The following 22 Pokémon cannot be transferred out of Pokémon HOME into any [[Generation VIII]] or [[Generation IX|IX]] game: {{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Servine}}, {{p|Serperior}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Pignite}}, {{p|Emboar}}, {{p|Patrat}}, {{p|Watchog}}, {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Simisear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, {{p|Simipour}}, {{p|Blitzle}}, {{p|Zebstrika}}, {{p|Furfrou}}, {{p|Pikipek}}, {{p|Trumbeak}}, {{p|Toucannon}}, and {{p|Minior}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1630244702661361665</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1648868867811180544</ref>
** Additionally {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}} and {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}} cannot be transferred out of HOME into any Generation VIII or IX game:.
**Snivy, Servine, Serperior, Tepig, Pignite, Emboar, Blitzle, Zebstrika, Pikipek, Trumbeak, and Toucannon have been announced to be added to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet with the release of [[The Indigo Disk]] DLC.
**{{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Minior}}, and {{p|Magearna}} are the only Pokémon that cannot currently be obtained in Pokémon HOME without transferring them from [[Pokémon Bank]].
* If a Pokémon with a censored word in its [[nickname]] is transferred via [[Poké Transporter]], its nickname will be erased. This does not happen if something is transferred from [[Pokémon Bank]].

'''Pokémon HOME''' (Japanese: '''Pokémon HOME''') is a cloud service for {{wp|iOS}}, {{wp|iPadOS}}, {{wp|Android (operating system)|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.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zone differences, the app was released on February 11, 2020 in the Americas, even though it was released at the same time as the rest of the world.</ref>

It was announced at the [[Pokémon Presents#May 29, 2019|Pokémon 2019 Press Conference]] on May 29, 2019.

Pokémon HOME is managed by Pokémon researcher [[Grand Oak]], whose goal is to create a [[Pokédex]] that includes every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}.

==Features==
===Pokémon transfer===
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way [[transfer]] to and from all Switch [[core series]] games. Both the mobile and Switch versions allow one-way transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] (only with a Premium Plan) and [[Pokémon GO]].

====Compatibility with Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
Only Pokémon originally from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can be moved into (another copy of) Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and if such a Pokémon is transferred into a future game, it can no longer be moved back to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

Pokémon that arrive in HOME via transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] are automatically converted to the same format used by {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and therefore cannot enter Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

====Compatibility with Generation VIII====
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way transfer to and from all [[Generation VIII]] games, beginning with {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] that are compatible with Sword and Shield can be transferred to and from Sword and Shield freely and retain their movesets.

In version 2.0.0, HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. The set of data used for a Pokémon differs between Sword and Shield, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus, so a Pokémon's moves will be different for each game. If a Pokémon is transferred from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus to Sword and Shield, its [[origin mark]] will be replaced with the Galar symbol and its met location will be shown as "the [[Faraway place]]", though its actual origin mark will be restored if it is moved back into HOME. Additionally, because Legends: Arceus uses different [[Poké Ball]]s to the other games, Pokémon originally from Legends: Arceus will appear in a [[Strange Ball]] in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or a standard {{i|Poké Ball}} in Sword and Shield, while Pokémon not originally from Legends: Arceus will appear in a Strange Ball in Legends: Arceus (though the original Poké Ball of the Pokémon will be regained if it is moved back into HOME).

====Compatibility with Generation IX====
Pokémon HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokemon Scarlet and Violet]] on May 30, 2023 as part of version 3.0.0, allowing Pokémon to be moved freely between all core series Generation VIII and IX games.

On May 18, 2023, [[The Pokémon Company International]] announced that Pokémon HOME support with the games would release on May 24, 2023 at 01:00 UTC, but on May 19, the company announced it was a mistake and said that the actual release date was yet to be announced. No such announcement was made in Japanese by [[The Pokémon Company]], and unlike the later date, the earlier date did not appear in a notice inside the HOME app itself.

In an apparent translation error, the Spanish version of the notice stated that staggered logins would take place from May 30, 2023 06:00 UTC to May 25, 2023 06:00 UTC, instead of the latter date being May 31, 2023 06:00 UTC.<ref>https://twitter.com/MelkorPxP/status/1661886523539697664</ref>

====Compatibility with Pokémon GO====
{{main|GO Transporter}}
One-way transfers from [[Pokémon GO]] to HOME were made available on November 11, 2020.<ref group="note" name="releasego">Due to time zone differences, GO Transporter was released on November 10, 2020 in the Americas.</ref> Upon the first transfer, the player will also receive a {{p|Melmetal}} that can [[Gigantamax]] in Pokémon HOME.

Transfers from Pokémon GO are subject to their own different set of limitations, modifications, and microtransactions.

====Limitations====
* The Totem-sized Pokémon that can be in [[Pokémon Bank]] are reduced to their normal sizes when transferred to Pokémon HOME.
* Pokémon that cannot be [[trade]]d in-game also cannot be deposited, including the {{ga|partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}}, and the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{p|Calyrex}}.
* Like in Pokémon Bank, [[held item]]s cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME; depositing a Pokémon holding an item into HOME causes that item to be returned to the [[Bag]] in the game the Pokémon was deposited from.
* From v2.0.0 onward:
** [[Gigantamax]] Factor {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Meowth}} cannot be transferred to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{g|Legends: Arceus}} or {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. This is to prevent them from [[evolution|evolving]] in games that do not recognize the Gigantamax Factor.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SerebiiNet/status/1526900020011745282?s=20&t=EjiW0CDu0avbVjizmVLcmA @SerebiiNet]</ref>
** {{p|Nincada}} [[Game of origin|originally from]] Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], and Nincada from outside of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into those games.
*** This is likely a redundant protection against several cloning glitches due to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's "PokeDupeChecker" having cases to exclude natural clones such as Ninjask/Shedinja, and Pokémon originating from other games from being flagged and subsequently restricted from trades, HOME, and the [[Pokémon Nursery]].<ref>https://twitter.com/Kaphotics/status/1495965127031816192</ref>
** {{p|Spinda}} cannot be transferred between Pokémon HOME and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. This is likely due to a [[List of glitches (Generation VIII)#Spinda spot pattern glitches|glitch]] in the latter wherein the bytes of Spinda's [[encryption constant]] are read as a {{wp|Endianness|big-endian}} value rather than a little-endian value, which would cause Spinda's spot pattern to change on transfer if transfers were possible.
** In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Pokémon that can only be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]] once per save file (such as {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}) can only be (newly) deposited once per save file. This is in order to mitigate the Dialga/Palkia rematch glitch.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuVzL1Wf6-I</ref>
*** This check is based on save file rather than [[OT]]. For example, if two players playing Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl both catch a {{p|Regigigas}}, then one player [[trade]]s their Regigigas to the other, then that player attempts to deposit both Regigigas into HOME, HOME will block the second deposit. This can be worked around if one player deposits and withdraws their own Regigigas from HOME first before trading to the other player, since then that player is no longer attempting to ''newly'' deposit twice (one of the Regigigas has been in HOME before).
**** This cannot be circumvented with multiple HOME accounts, as it will recognize the savefile regardless.
*** As a result, it is possible to run into this restriction even with official event Pokémon - if the player receives {{DL|List of event Pokémon distributions (Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl)|Ten'i Village Regigigas}} in Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, then it cannot be deposited if the [[Snowpoint Temple]] Regigigas is deposited, and vice versa, unless the player can trade one of the Regigigas to another game without going through HOME.

===Pokémon storage===
On the free Basic Plan, up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited in one box named the "Basic Box". The Basic Box cannot be manually organized and will always sort Pokémon from most to least recently deposited/traded for (with most recent at the top left). (Ties are broken by Pokédex order.)<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/orange-islands-sqsa-thread.3603112/page-63#post-9241707</ref>

On the Premium Plan, up to 6,000 Pokémon can be deposited in 200 boxes named "HOME 1" through "HOME 200", which can be freely organized as with core series PC boxes. When a Basic Plan is upgraded, all Pokémon in the Basic Box appear in HOME 1; however, the reverse is not true. When a Premium Plan ends, only the 30 Pokémon most recently deposited/traded for 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.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039615831-If-I-deposit-31-or-more-Pok%C3%A9mon-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-and-my-Premium-Plan-expires-what-will-happen-to-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref>

The Nintendo Switch version of HOME has access to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] within every save file from all accounts on the Switch. This means that as long as a save file exists, Pokémon HOME has access to all of the player's Pokémon (except those in the [[party]]), and can use the boxes for local storage, with no need to keep the cartridges or digital installations.

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.

The [[stats judge]] function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.

Pokémon do not display specific met locations while in the Nintendo Switch version of HOME, instead only displaying the region corresponding to their [[game of origin]]. As of v2.0.0, the mobile version will display both a region and a location name within that region, but for Pokémon transferred from the Virtual Console games through Poké Transporter, the latter will simply be a second copy of the region name, and for Pokémon transferred from [[Generation III]] or {{gen|IV}}, the latter location will be displayed as "Poké Shifter" (the transliterated Japanese name for [[Poké Transfer]]).

====Game-specific data and HOME tracker value====
{{Incomplete|section|Check whether contest conditions, sheen, Ribbons, and marks are included in game-specific data or not}}
Depositing any Pokémon into HOME for the first time will assign it a HOME tracker value, a 64-bit number unique to it that is used to detect [[Pokémon cloning|clones]] and other [[Cheating|hacked]] Pokémon. For example, a Pokémon hacked to have a random tracker value can be detected as HOME will not remember having assigned this value in the past. The tracker value is also used for the restriction on newly depositing certain {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon from [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]; a Pokémon is being newly deposited if it does not have a HOME tracker value already. This tracker value is stored with the Pokémon and cannot be changed.

From v2.0.0 onwards, the tracker value is also used to keep track of a Pokémon's game-specific data. Each Pokémon has up to four sets of data depending on which games it has been in: {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. Pokémon from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon GO]], and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] use the same set of data as Sword and Shield as a default. Most Pokémon obtained from gifts within Pokémon HOME itself also default to Sword and Shield, though some default to other games. Data that is not transferred between games is stored in the server, such as:
* A Pokémon's four [[move]]sets (including changes to [[PP]] from [[PP Up]]s and [[PP Max]]es), as well as, from v3.0.0 onwards, its {{Abilities}}.
* Met location (and, if applicable, {{pkmn|Egg}} hatch location), included only in the Pokémon's original data set.
* [[Gigantamax]] Factor, [[TR]] flags, and {{DL|Pokémon Camp|sociability}}, included only in the Pokémon's Sword and Shield data set.
* [[Effort level]]s, {{pkmn2|alpha}} status, [[Zisu]]'s [[Training grounds#Move Tutor|Move Tutor]] moves, and [[move mastery]] status, included only in the Pokémon's Legends: Arceus data set.
* [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera Type]], included only in the Pokémon's Scarlet and Violet data set.
For example, the alpha Pokémon flag is not stored in the Pokémon data of games other than Pokémon Legends: Arceus. If a Pokémon from Legends: Arceus is transferred to another game and back, it keeps its alpha flag due to HOME associating the flag with that Pokémon's HOME tracker value, with the flag being retained in its Legends: Arceus set of data.

Pokémon transferred from Bank, GO, or Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, as well as most Pokémon from gifts in HOME, retain their original moves (or, in the case of Pokémon from GO, their moves as determined by [[GO Transporter]]) when transferred to Pokémon Sword and Shield; this is treated as the Sword and Shield moveset for that Pokémon. When a Pokémon is transferred to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Legends: Arceus, or Scarlet and Violet for the first time, or when a Pokémon from any of those games (or a gift in HOME corresponding to any of those games) is transferred to Sword and Shield for the first time, a new moveset is generated for that game's data set, using the four most recent level-up moves of that species in that game. A Pokémon's potential new moveset can be seen while transferring it, but it is not saved until the transfer is complete.

From v3.0.0 onwards, Abilities are stored in game-specific data. Any changes to a Pokémon's Ability using an [[Ability Capsule]] or [[Ability Patch]] in one game will not affect its Ability in other games it already has data for. If it has no data for a given game and enters that game for the first time, the Pokémon will be assigned an Ability based on the data it already has, with the following order of descending priority:
* The Ability it currently has in its Scarlet and Violet data.
* The Ability it currently has in its Sword and Shield data.
* The Ability it currently has in its Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl data.
* The unused Ability from its Legends: Arceus data.
A Pokémon's Legends: Arceus data set does not display an Ability, though it has one that is stored internally. Pokémon from Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! do not have an Ability until being transferred into another game.

The set of data displayed when a Pokémon's [[summary]] is viewed in HOME varies. In the Nintendo Switch version prior to v3.0.0, only the Sword and Shield set of data would be displayed for all Pokémon, unless the application was currently connected to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus, in which case the data sets would match this; Pokémon not compatible with any [[Generation VIII]] game would display no [[stat]]s or [[move]]s from v2.0.0 to v3.0.0. Starting in v3.0.0, if Pokémon HOME is currently connected to a game, Pokémon compatible with that game will display the corresponding data set, while others will display the set of the game that they were in most recently; if HOME is not currently connected to a game, the default data set for all Pokémon will be that of the game they were in most recently, but if a Pokémon has multiple sets, they can be switched between using the "Change View" option. The type of [[Poké Ball]] shown will change depending on which set of data is being displayed, though the [[origin mark]] will always be correct. In the mobile version prior to v3.0.0, the set of data displayed for a Pokémon would be that of the game it was in most recently; starting in v3.0.0, the default data set shown matches its most recent game, but other data sets can also be viewed. Both the type of Poké Ball shown and the origin mark will always be correct, as well as the met location.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372709736596-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-Sheen-or-condition-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372695365652-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-effort-levels-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526950194373226497</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6425814626580-Why-can-t-I-see-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-s-moves-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526917289500585984</ref> Starting in v3.0.0, since HOME displays the last game a Pokémon was in, a Pokémon GO stamp effectively indicates that a Pokémon has never left the server-side.

===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 Trade]]s and [[Surprise Trade]]s, 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.
* '''[[Global Trade System|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. There is a limit of 10 trades per day, regardless of whether the Basic Plan or Premium Plan is being used.

At least some [[event Pokémon]] appear to be impossible to trade for about a week to a few weeks after their initial release. This restriction applies separately to even different language versions of the same event Pokémon if they are released at different times.<ref>https://reddit.com/r/PokemonHome/comments/k0iagj/is_zarude_trade_locked_again/</ref><ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/a-fools-errand-completing-pokemon-home-without-paying-a-penny-complete.3673315/page-3</ref>

===Pokédex===
====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]], {{gen|VII}}, and {{gen|VIII}} core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Entries from {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} can only be viewed when HOME is connected to a Legends: Arceus save file that has the entry for that Pokémon completed to research level 10, if that Pokémon has been registered in HOME's Pokédex. However, the HOME Pokédex will register a Pokémon deposited from Legends: Arceus as caught and unlock any other game's Pokédex entries, if any, even if the research level in Legends: Arceus is not at level 10. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate [[list of Pokémon with form differences|form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered.

The mobile app version of Pokémon HOME also allows players to view the possible [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} a Pokémon can have.

Upon completing the National Pokédex up to {{p|Eternatus}}, an Original Color {{p|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.

=====Registering Pokémon and alternate forms=====
The Pokédex registers data for any Pokémon and form that is deposited into HOME.

If the Pokémon has a [[Mega Evolution]], a form that can only be used in battle (e.g. {{p|Cherrim}}'s {{form|Cherrim|Sunshine Form}}), or a form that requires a held item (e.g. {{p|Silvally}}'s {{form|Silvally|alternate forms}}), the data for these forms is registered when any form of the Pokémon is deposited (this also applies to {{form|Creation trio|Dialga, Palkia, Giratina}}, and {{form|Arceus}}, despite these Pokémon not requiring a held item or battle to change forms in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], as they revert to their standard forms upon being deposited into HOME). In order to register the entry for Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}, a Rayquaza must be deposited knowing the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

If a Pokémon has a form that requires combining two Pokémon (i.e. {{form|Kyurem}}, {{form|Necrozma}}, or {{form|Calryex}}), the entry for that form is registered when both Pokémon that make up that form are registered. Registering Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma will also register Ultra Necrozma.

[[Spiky-eared Pichu]], [[Cosplay Pikachu]], all [[Totem Pokémon|Totem-sized Pokémon]], [[Revavroom]]'s [[Starmobile]] forms, [[Koraidon]] Limited Build and [[Miraidon]] Low-Power Mode do not appear in the Pokédex as alternate forms.

If a Pokémon with a gender difference is deposited, both genders are registered except in the case of [[Shiny Pokémon]] (see below).

Registering a Pokémon's [[Gigantamax]] form requires depositing the Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor.

Depositing a [[Shiny Pokémon]] will register both the Shiny and regular entries for that species and form. Unlike non-Shiny Pokémon on the mobile version, depositing a Shiny Pokémon with a gender difference will only register the Shiny entry for that gender.

Depositing any [[Foreign Pokédex entries|foreign language]] version of a Pokémon will unlock that language's Pokédex entry for all forms of that species that have been registered.

Additionally, when any Pokémon are transferred from Bank to HOME, all Pokédex data in Bank will be added to the Pokédex in HOME.

====Regional Pokédex====
Starting in the v2.0.0 update, the mobile version of Pokémon HOME also keeps track of the regional Pokédex for Pokémon originating from the following games, along with the number of species required to complete each Pokédex:

{| class="roundtable" style="display:inline-table; margin:2px; text-align:center; border:3px solid #{{silver color}}; background:#{{green color}}"

|}

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are included in the Hisui Pokédex, but excluded from the other Pokédexes. Completing an entry in one of these Pokédexes requires transferring into HOME a Pokémon that [[Game of origin|originates]] from that specific game. Excluding the Pokémon GO Pokédex, each Pokédex features a progress bar of the player's completion and add a crown icon next to the number of entries after total completion is achieved.

====Moves and Abilities====
The mobile version of Pokémon HOME has a section of the Pokédex where [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} are listed and can be registered. Prior to v2.0.0, moves and Abilities each occupied separate sections of the Pokédex; starting in v2.0.0, to make space for the regional Pokédex section, the move and Ability sections are merged into a single section titled "Others", where the move and Ability lists can be toggled between. The lists are arranged alphabetically. Registering a move or Ability adds a {{i|Poké Ball}} icon next to it.

The list of moves displays the [[type]] and [[Damage category|category]] of each move. Tapping a move or Ability in the list allows its description to be seen, taken from the most recent [[core series]] game in which it has a description (other than the generic one for unusable moves). It is also possible to search for Pokémon in the player's storage that know the selected move or have the selected Ability, or search for Pokémon in the Pokédex that can have the selected Ability. In v3.0.0, filters were added for each of the Nintendo Switch core series games; selecting any of these filters removes all moves or Abilities that are unusable or not present in that game and changes the descriptions to the ones from that game (though the move category is not changed, leading to the oddity of {{m|Double Hit}} being displayed as a physical move in the list for [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]), as well as removing the registered icons.

Moves can be registered if a Pokémon that knows the move (in any of its game-specific movesets) is deposited into HOME. The following moves are absent from the list due to the impossibility of registering them legitimately:
* {{m|Struggle}}
* {{m|Behemoth Blade}}
* {{m|Behemoth Bash}}
* {{m|Glacial Lance}}
* {{m|Astral Barrage}}
* The [[signature move]]s of the [[Partner Pokémon (game)|partner Pokémon]]
* {{m|Light of Ruin}}
* [[Z-Move]]s
* [[Max Move]]s and [[G-Max Move]]s

Abilities can be registered if a Pokémon that has the Ability (in any of its game-specific sets of data) is deposited into HOME. However, they can also be registered by depositing a Pokémon into HOME that would be able to gain the Ability via a [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]] change. For example, depositing a {{p|Rayquaza}} registers both {{a|Air Lock}} and {{a|Delta Stream}}, the former being its own Ability and the latter being attainable via [[Mega Evolution]]. This only applies if the alternate form has also been registered in the Pokédex (for example, {{a|Neuroforce}} can only be registered if a {{p|Necrozma}} is deposited and either {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}} has been registered, since this is required in order to register [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Ultra Necrozma]]). Unlike with moves, the Ability list contains every Ability in the core series, as all of them are possible to register.

===Mystery Gifts===
{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)}}
{{main|List of other event distributions (Generation VIII)#Shiny Zeraora Armorite Ore|List of other event distributions (Generation VIII)}}
{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions (Generation IX)}}
Gifts can be received using the mobile app's [[Mystery Gift]] feature. Pokémon received in this way are placed directly into the storage in Pokémon HOME. The feature can also generate [[serial code]]s for item distributions in a [[Nintendo Switch]] game.

When first starting Pokémon HOME, the player will already have a {{p|Pikachu}} in their storage. When first starting the mobile version in particular (regardless of whether the Nintendo Switch version has been used yet), [[Grand Oak]] will give the player a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, each of which have their [[Ability#Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities]]. Various other Pokémon may also be received from the Gift Box in the mobile version for completing certain tasks. Pokémon obtained from gifts in HOME use "Pokémon HOME" as their met location rather than any specific [[region]]; despite this, the majority of them use [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]] as their [[game of origin]], with some using other Nintendo Switch core series games.

===Achievements===
In the mobile version, the player can complete {{OBP|Challenges|HOME}} to unlock stickers.

In the Nintendo Switch version, the player can complete {{OBP|Research Task|HOME}}s.

===Points===
Pokémon HOME Points serve as a currency of sorts, replacing [[Poké Mile]]s from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Every midnight UTC, the player gains a Pokémon HOME Point for every 31 stored Pokémon (rounded down). This calculation includes any inaccessible Pokémon the player may have in HOME as a result of a downgrade to the free plan. An account can accumulate a maximum of 99,999 Points at once.

Pokémon HOME Points can then be converted and transferred into [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]] games in the Nintendo Switch version:
* 30 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 [[Battle Point]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* 20 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 Battle Point in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 1 [[Merit Point]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 10 [[League Point]]s in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

===Move Reminder===
The 3.0.0 update added [[Move Reminder]] functionality in the Nintendo Switch version. The moves that can be learned through this feature are the standard [[level]] up moves for the game in use, as well as any moves in other game movesets (including both current moves and moves flagged as re-learnable) that are legal for the game in use. For example, a {{p|Tauros}} that knows {{m|Take Down}} in its [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] moveset can be taught Take Down in its [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] moveset using this feature, as Tauros can be taught Take Down in Scarlet and Violet via [[TM]]. However, a {{p|Moltres}} with {{m|Burn Up}} in its Pokémon Sword and Shield moveset cannot be taught Burn Up in its Pokémon Scarlet and Violet moveset, as Moltres cannot learn Burn Up in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet by any means.

This feature is the only way to access several previously [[Egg_Move#Unobtainable_Egg_Moves|unobtainable Egg Moves]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

===Other===
Players can customize their item called a binder in My Room using stickers obtained by completing [[Challenges (HOME)|challenges]].

In the mobile version, players can also view Battle Data and News, replacing the Rankings, Distribution Regulations, and Event Calendar features of the Pokémon Global Link.

==Bugs and errors==
*The [[regional Pokédex]] for [[Pokémon GO]] that was added to the mobile version in v2.0.0 contains every Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] except for [[Mythical Pokémon]], which includes Pokémon that have not been released in Pokémon GO, as well as {{p|Spinda}} which cannot be transferred from that game, thus making it impossible to complete this Pokédex.
*In the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] in the mobile version, since the ability to request and search for Pokémon with specific forms and [[Language of origin|languages of origin]] was added, selecting to exclude requests for Pokémon the user does not have does not exclude requests for forms or languages that the user does not have as long as they have at least one of the Pokémon in any form or language.
*Due to a bug with how HOME handles punctuation, {{P|Farfetch'd}} and {{P|Sirfetch'd}} without [[nickname]]s transferred from Pokémon Bank or Pokémon GO will act as though they have nicknames, and cannot be re-nicknamed after being moved into a game. This is due to HOME assigning the incorrect apostrophe, the species name being "Farfetch’d" or "Sirfetch’d" and the nickname being assigned as "Farfetch'd" or "Sirfetch'd" instead.
*If a Sandy Cloak or Trash Cloak {{p|Burmy}} in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] or [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Mothim}} and is then deposited into HOME, it will not count towards the Sinnoh or Hisui regional Pokédexes (but will still count towards the National Pokédex).<ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1527278158872924160</ref>
*In the mobile version's [[National Pokédex]], the total number of Pokémon shown at the top of the page always includes all [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], even if the user has not selected to show all forms.

===Fixed===
*For approximately the first eight hours of release (February 12, 2020 between 01:00 UTC and 09:00 UTC), any [[Hyper Training]] performed in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon]] was lost upon transferring from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Details on how to restore it were announced in the app and on the official support websites.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-support.com/news/s/article/000002142 ''【Pokémon HOME】既知の不具合について - ポケットモンスター (<nowiki>[Pokémon HOME]</nowiki> Known bugs)'' - pokemon-support.com] (Japanese) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref><ref>[https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/news/972 ''현재「Pokémon HOME」에서 확인된 이상 현상에 대하여 - 포켓몬 공식 사이트 (About the anomalies currently identified in "Pokémon HOME")'' - pokemonkorea.co.kr] (Korean) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref>
**Pokémon HOME went down for maintenance on February 25, 2020 between 01:30 and 11:30 UTC, during which any affected Pokémon stored in HOME at the time regained their Hyper Training.
*Initially, HOME would automatically delete any Pokémon with duplicate tracker values on the assumption that they were [[Cheating|hacked]] [[Pokémon cloning|clones]]; however, this behavior would cause one of a {{p|Ninjask}} and {{p|Shedinja}} pair to be deleted as the HOME tracker value was among the data copied to Shedinja.
**This was partially fixed sometime between February 25, 2020 and February 28, 2020 when HOME would instead disallow a Pokémon with a duplicate tracker value from being deposited.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1232391734279254018</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1233603766798209025</ref> It was fully fixed sometime around April 23, 2020, and depositing a Ninjask and Shedinja with duplicate tracker values will now cause HOME to reassign the Shedinja a new tracker value.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1253373524225470469</ref> The Shedinja will have its tracker reassigned the first time it is deposited into HOME, regardless of what its [[game of origin]] is, whether it previously had a HOME tracker value from visiting HOME as a Nincada, or whether it is deposited into HOME at the same time as the matching Ninjask.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-brilliant-diamond-and-shining-pearl-release-19th-nov-2021.3679043/post-9269516</ref>
*In the Nintendo Switch versions before v2.0.0, all {{p|Arceus}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|forms]] were considered {{type|Normal}} instead of their actual [[type]]s except for the {{type|Dragon}} and {{type|Fairy}} forms.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, when using the "All Forms" filter in the Pokédex, [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Pumpkaboo_and_Gourgeist|Average Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist]] did not appear with their three other forms and were not counted in the total number of forms displayed at the top of the page. Additionally, the Super Size forms replaced the Average Size forms as the default forms shown in the [[National Pokédex]], though viewing either Pokémon's Pokédex entry still displayed all four sizes. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, the user's boxes from the Nintendo Switch version would not be displayed on the label selection screen when selecting Pokémon for a trade. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version, after using the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or Wonder Box, the entries in the [[regional Pokédex]]es would be reset and would only have entries registered for Pokémon currently in HOME, lacking any entries registered for Pokémon that were not in HOME at the time the bug occurred. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 between May 18, 2022 06:00 UTC and May 27, 2022 01:00 UTC, some players would receive error code 10015 an unknown percentage of the time after depositing Pokémon and attempting to save changes, preventing Pokémon from being deposited. This was fixed in v2.0.1, and affected players who were on the Premium Plan at the time received 10 free days (including those whose subscriptions ended between receiving the error and the release of v2.0.1).<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6560421494932-Update-Info-for-the-Nintendo-Switch-Version-ver-2-0-1-</ref>
*In the mobile version only, [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black Kyurem]]'s Pokédex entries for [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] were the same as those of regular {{p|Kyurem}}, even though Black Kyurem has its own entries in the Switch version. This was fixed in v2.0.2.
*Starting in v2.0.0 in the Switch version only, Pokémon that were [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon GO]], or [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] but had not been moved to a compatible game in [[Generation VIII]] (or were not compatible with any games in that [[generation]]) would not have their [[base stats]], [[effort values]], [[individual values]], or [[move]]s shown, even if the player chose not to connect any game with HOME. This was fixed in v3.0.0.
*In the mobile version in v3.0.0, all Spinda would always display the same spot pattern when viewed in their [[summary]], regardless of their actual patterns. This was fixed in v3.0.1.
*In the mobile version, although {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} are counted as "special Pokémon" for the purpose of the GTS's filters, they were initially included in the list of the most popular Pokémon requests that excludes special Pokémon. This was later corrected, with Koraidon and Miraidon now being consistently considered special Pokémon.
*Between May 30, 2023 06:00 UTC and July 4, 2023 00:00 UTC, the [[Alpha Pokémon]] caught as part of [[Task#Missions|Missions]] 14 through 16 would fail to have their [[Scale]] set to the maximum when transferred to [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], making them ineligible for the Jumbo [[Mark]]. Affected Pokémon could have their Scale set to the correct value by depositing and withdrawing from HOME.

==Trivia==
* All of the Pokémon appear in Pokémon HOME posed in the same position as their official art, with Pokémon from the [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} taking on their poses from their redesigned art from Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} respectively.
** Furthermore, [[Shiny Pokémon]] appear as Shiny, instead of their usual colorations, and [[gender differences]] are visible.
** On the Nintendo Switch version, only these static renders are visible. On the mobile version, full 3D models are visible.
*** As a result, for example, the location of {{p|Spinda}}'s spots are only visible on the mobile version, since Spinda uses the same static render regardless of its spots.
*** On the Nintendo Switch version, some of these renders were improved in version 1.2.<ref>https://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo_switch/pokemonhome/</ref>
* 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.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_HOME_(iOS,_Android) TCRF - Pokémon HOME (iOS / Android) unused content]</ref>
* The Switch version cannot be used while the mobile version is being used at the same time, and vice-versa.
* Prior to version 1.1, friend trades were restricted to local trades only. This restriction was lifted to celebrate the release of version 1.1, allowing players to trade with each other no matter how far away they are from each other. This was initially intended to be temporary; however, it appears to have been a permanent change, as over a year and several updates later it has not been reverted.
* Each HOME account generates its own [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and [[Trainer ID number#Secret ID|secret ID]], which is assigned to some Pokémon received from [[Mystery Gift]]s in HOME. To prevent these Pokémon with a [[personality value]] of <code>00000000</code> (hexadecimal) from being {{Shiny}}, rather than assigning a different personality value, HOME will never generate an account's ID numbers where the combination results in that personality value being calculated as Shiny.<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/issues/3007</ref>
* Prior to HOME's major v2.0.0 update, the servers went down for maintenance between 00:00 UTC and 06:00 UTC on May 18, 2022. Afterward, users were given staggered login times for 19 hours (until 01:00 UTC May 19, 2022) to reduce server load. However, newly created accounts after the maintenance were not staggered and could log in immediately.
* The following 27 Pokémon are the only species that cannot be transferred out of Pokémon HOME into any [[Generation VIII]] or [[Generation IX|IX]] game: {{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Servine}}, {{p|Serperior}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Pignite}}, {{p|Emboar}}, {{p|Patrat}}, {{p|Watchog}}, {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Simisear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, {{p|Simipour}}, {{p|Blitzle}}, {{p|Zebstrika}}, {{p|Sewaddle}}, {{p|Swadloon}}, {{p|Leavanny}}, {{p|Ducklett}}, {{p|Swanna}}, {{p|Furfrou}}, {{p|Pikipek}}, {{p|Trumbeak}}, {{p|Toucannon}}, and {{p|Minior}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1630244702661361665</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1648868867811180544</ref>
** Additionally, the following 5 [[regional form]]s cannot be transferred out of HOME into any Generation VIII or IX game: {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Geodude}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Graveler}}, and {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Golem}}.
**Blitzle and Zebstrika have been announced to be added to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet with the release of [[The Indigo Disk]] DLC.
**{{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Minior}}, and {{p|Magearna}} are the only Pokémon that cannot currently be obtained in Pokémon HOME without transferring them from [[Pokémon Bank]].

Jmvb: /* Tournament Stores */ new section

==Photos of stores==
Just a thought. Mightn't a picture of the fronts of each store (Surely they exist. I can provide Nagoya if nothing else) look good here? --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 08:26, 14 Feb 2005 (GMT)

:Of course it's a good idea, although I wouldn't pull the ones from the pokemon.co.jp site - that's pushing fair use a little too far... - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 08:56, 14 Feb 2005 (GMT)

::Is it? Why would it be beyond fair use? We're advertising the places, aren't we? --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 10:04, 14 Feb 2005 (GMT)

:::I suppose we could take them. But the case for photos is more shaky, I think, because those are obtainable without infringement. - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 11:24, 14 Feb 2005 (GMT)

== PokémonCenter.com North America ==

I was thinking I would make a seperate article for the North America Site, but that might be pointless. Oh, and I also have a bunch of screenshots of the site when it was still active, do you think I could put one up of the main site either in aforementioned seperate article or on the main article?--[[User:Heracross42|Heracross42]] 17:47, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
:Necrobumping this section, because I agree. I think a separate article would make sense. It was not just the website of the stores, it was a retailer in itself, and will be again now that it is to return. If Heracross42 still has screenshots they would be useful, but I think we should be able to get a significant amount of information from Wayback Machine. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:17, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

== Sapporo ==

The Bulbanews article has a different logo to the one on this page. [[User:Flicky|Fli]][[User talk:Flicky|cky]][[User:Flicky/Latin|1991]] 09:40, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
:Article updated accordingly. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 10:43, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

==Trivia now invalid==

With the new logo for the Central Japan airport not featuring a starter Pokèmon, I believe this is now invalid, although I'm sure it could be changed slightly to still fit the requirement. --[[User:BaileyPlaysPokemon|BaileyPlaysPokemon]] 20:18, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Pikachu was a starter in Yellow, wasn't he? --[[File:Spr b 4d 390.png]] [[User:Pokemon Trainer Bowser Jr.|Pokemon Trainer Bowser Jr.]] [[ 18:36, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

== Name ==

Could we put in the trivia something about the name being similar to Pokémon Centers in the video games? I just can't word what we'd put in the article.--[[File:Spr b 4d 390.png]] [[User:Pokemon Trainer Bowser Jr.|Pokemon Trainer Bowser Jr.]] [[ 18:34, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

== The Alderwood Mall Pokémon Center ==

Currently the Alderwood Mall Pokémon Center has been taken down. I visited the mall the other day and it's no longer there. Should we edit the page to reflect this?

Also, I heard mention from a Gamestop employee (there's one right next to where it was) that they're planning on putting a single vending machine like there is at the Northgate Mall, but that's just hearsay so it's definitely not worth the edit.

[[User:Tellis|Tellis]] ([[User talk:Tellis|talk]]) 19:24, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
:If the store isn't there at the present time I would say to fix the article to reflect this. [[User:Lady Ariel|Lady Ariel]] ([[User talk:Lady Ariel|talk]]) 19:37, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
::I live near the Alderwood Mall and can vouch for its closing in late June or early July; I know nothing of any vending machine they may have replace it. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] ([[User talk:HeroicJay|talk]]) 19:06, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

==Pokémon Center Sapporo Logo==
[[File:Pokémon Center Sapporo logo temporary.png|thumb|Pokémon Center Sapporo Logo?]]
I found this image on the Archives. I think it may be from some kind of special event. Does anyone know? The Sapporo one definitely uses the logo we have on the page now though (that's the one I've been to). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:02, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
:Research indicates it is actually the New York Pokémon Center... misleading filename... --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:51, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

::The PCNY official logo features the Pokémon title graphic on a golden triangle with "Pokémon Center New York" arranged in gold lettering that matched the classic-industrial look of the store's location in Rockefeller Center. The graphic logo underwent several re-designs and almost always featured Pikachu and Pichu together, sometimes riding on a flying Charizard over the NYC skyline. The event logo shown was never used at the the PCNY location (at least in the years before Nintendo took over the store). {{unsigned|LeaderPCNY}}

:::The Pokémon Center New York logo appears on the [http://diehardgamefan.com/2004/10/03/21664/ Diehard Game Fan blog]. Should the logo be replaced with this one? [[User:BthrussellUK|bthrussellUK]] ([[User Talk:BthrussellUK|talk]]) 14:58, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

::::This is in fact the logo of the [https://web.archive.org/web/20060703002423/http://www.pokemon.co.jp:80/pokemoncenter/sapporo.html third temporary store in Sapporo], not of New York. Perhaps the file should be renamed to reflect this? [[User:BthrussellUK|bthrussellUK]] ([[User Talk:BthrussellUK|talk]]) 15:19, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

== Which games? ==

In the section for the Tacoma, Washington Pokemon "Center", it says it has ''the five Nintendo DS Pokémon games''. But which ones are they? Considering there's now nine (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Black, White, Black 2, and White 2) it should really specify which games are available there. --[[User:SuperPikaBros|Super]][[User talk:SuperPikaBros|Pika]][[Special:Contributions/SuperPikaBros|Bros]] 00:43, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

== Collections? ==

Would it be alright to add links to the Collections on this page? I notice all the Collection pages do link to this page but this page does not link back to any of them which does not make any sense to me. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 01:03, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

== Pokémon Center DX logos ==

There are missing logos available for [http://pokeshopper.com/____impro/1/Catalogue/2018/pkmn-center-tokyo-dx-logo.jpg Pokémon Center Tokyo DX] and [https://i1.wp.com/www.pokemonnewspaper.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/pic01-2.jpg Osaka DX] (Needs editing). [[User:BthrussellUK|bthrussellUK]] ([[User Talk:BthrussellUK|talk]]) 15:10, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

== Pokémon Center Tokyo logo change ==

I was looking this up for other reasons, and was going to add it into this page, but didn't really see a way to make it fit.

The Pokémon Center Tokyo changed its logo from Pikachu/Charmander/Piplup to Pikachu/Charmander/Froakie in October 2013 ([http://plasticanomaly.blogspot.com/2013/10/new-pokemon-center-mascot.html source]). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:38, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

== Tournament Stores ==

The page is missing the recent temporary stores at big tournaments like Worlds, and EUIC/NAIC. There's now 5 of these (2022 NAIC, 2022 Worlds, 2023 EUIC, 2023 NAIC and the upcoming 2023 Worlds). Given that these look like they're a regular fixture maybe there should be a separate section rather than lumped in with temporary?

GO Transporter

2023-07-21T08:23:37Z

Jmvb: /* Restrictions */

[[File:GO Transporter.png|thumb|right|170px|The GO Transporter in {{g|GO}}]]
The '''GO Transporter''' (Japanese: '''転送装置''' ''Transporter'') is a feature in {{g|GO}} that allows the player to [[transfer]] Pokémon from Pokémon GO to {{g|HOME}}. It was made available on November 11, 2020 (November 10, 2020 in North America). It is accessed by selecting Pokémon HOME from the settings menu.

The GO Transporter is one-way, meaning that Pokémon sent to HOME cannot be sent back to GO. Pokémon transferred via the GO Transporter also cannot be moved to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], but can be moved to [[Generation VIII]] games.

Using the GO Transporter can also unlock the [[Mystery Box]].

==Connectivity==
If a Pokémon GO account and a Pokémon HOME account are connected to the same Nintendo Account, and that Pokémon HOME account has been opened on a mobile device before, then the GO Transporter can be used to send Pokémon from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME.

The Pokémon HOME Premium Plan is not required to access the GO Transporter.

==Restrictions==
Up to 25 Pokémon may be sent through the GO Transporter in one transaction. Once Pokémon have been sent to Pokémon HOME via GO Transporter, they must be received in Pokémon HOME before more Pokémon can be sent.

The player cannot transfer a Pokémon that is currently set as a Favorite, is deployed into a {{OBP|Gym|GO}}, is set as the [[Buddy Pokémon]], or is currently [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]].

Once sent to HOME, {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon (with the exception of {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}) can only be moved to a [[Generation VIII]] [[core series]] game if they have been registered to the Pokédex or obtained at least once in that game. However, this restriction is only enforced on the HOME account that the Pokémon was originally transferred to—if it is traded to a different HOME account, it can be transferred to any Generation VIII or IX game.

In addition, the following Pokémon and forms cannot be sent to HOME:
* {{p|Spinda}}
* {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}} (but [[Purified Pokémon]] can be)
* [[Event Pokémon (GO)|Event Pokémon]] (costumed Pokémon)
* {{p|Hoopa}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Hoopa|Unbound]] (but Hoopa Confined can be)
* {{p|Zygarde}}

==GO Transporter Energy==
GO Transporter Energy (Japanese: 転送エナジー ''Transfer Energy'') is required for each Pokémon that is transferred. The GO Transporter can store a maximum of 10,000 GO Transporter Energy at one time, and it automatically recharges 60 GO Transporter Energy per hour. As such, it takes 6 days, 22 hours, and 40 minutes to fully recharge a GO Transporter from zero Energy. Players can also pay [[PokéCoin]]s, at {{PCoin}}1 for 10 Energy, to instantly and fully recharge the GO Transporter.

The amount of GO Transporter Energy required by the GO Transporter to transfer a Pokémon depends on several factors: its [[Combat Power|CP]]; whether it is {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, {{pkmn2|Mythical}}, an [[Ultra Beast]]; and whether it is [[Shiny Pokémon (GO)|Shiny]]. All costs are capped at 10,000.

==Modifications to transported Pokémon==
Pokémon are modified in a similar way to how they are modified when transferred via the [[GO Park]], although the conversion is not exactly the same.

===Form===
Forms are normally preserved by the GO Transporter. Unlike [[Pokémon Bank]], {{p|Furfrou}} will preserve its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Furfrou|different trims]] when deposited in HOME via the GO Transporter.

[[Purified Pokémon]] become regular Pokémon.

Pokémon in forms that they can only take in battle in the [[core series]] games or that have special requirements that would not be met in Pokémon HOME revert to their default form when transported to HOME. The player is warned about this form change on the confirmation screen before transporting the Pokémon. The following lists the alternate forms that change to the base form upon transfer.

===Origin===
Pokémon transferred from Pokémon GO have Pokémon GO as their [[game of origin]], resulting in them having the [[File:GO icon VIII.png|16px|GO]] [[origin mark]].

The Pokémon's [[language of origin]] is the language that was originally set in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]] the first time that the player used it. This language value is visible on the Profile screen of the mobile version of Pokémon HOME. (The current language of Pokémon HOME and Pokémon GO have no impact on the Pokémon's language of origin.)

===Level===
The Pokémon's [[level]] will be the same as its [[Power Up]] level in Pokémon GO, rounded down to the nearest integer. This means that Pokémon transported from Pokémon GO can range from level 1 to level 50.

===Moves===
The moves that a Pokémon knew in Pokémon GO have no bearing on its moves in HOME. The Pokémon's moves are reset to moves it would know in the wild at its current level (i.e. its level-up moves at that level). The game whose learnset is used depends on the Pokémon's species:
* If the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it uses its learnset from those games, even if this learnset contains moves unusable in Sword and Shield.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdatlcVuytM</ref>
* Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] (including the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]]), it uses its learnset from those games.
* Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], it uses its learnset from those games.
* Otherwise, it uses its learnset from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

===Original Trainer and nickname===
No Original Trainer information from Pokémon GO is kept. The Pokémon's Original Trainer is set to the player's name and [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] in the mobile version of Pokémon HOME.

The Pokémon GO Trainer who sent the Pokémon to HOME is listed on the Pokémon's summary screen in Pokémon HOME. Prior to Pokémon HOME version 2.0.0, this information would be lost if it was moved to a [[Generation VIII]] game; this information is now preserved. The Pokémon GO Trainer name is not listed for Pokémon that were transferred from GO to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

The Pokémon's [[nickname]] is removed, reverting to its species name in its language of origin.

===Met date===
The Pokémon's met date is the date it was obtained in Pokémon GO. For hatched Pokémon, this is the date they were hatched rather than the date their Egg was received (unless they were hatched before hatch dates were recorded).

===Poké Ball===
The Pokémon's [[Poké Ball]] will be the same as the Poké Ball it was caught in in Pokémon GO. Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s will be contained in a standard {{i|Poké Ball}}.

This contrasts with Pokémon that were transferred from Pokémon GO to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and then placed in Pokémon HOME—those Pokémon instead use the Poké Ball that was used to catch them in the GO Park, rather than the one that was used in Pokémon GO.

===IVs===
The Pokémon's {{IV}}s are calculated from its IVs in Pokémon GO. In Pokémon HOME, its IVs are equal to one more than twice their corresponding IV in GO (i.e. <math display="inline">HOME = 2 \times GO + 1</math>). As a result, the maximum possible IV for a transferred Pokémon is 31 (the maximum possible for any Pokémon) while the minimum is 1, and the IVs are all guaranteed to be odd.

The following are the corresponding GO IVs for each IV in Pokémon HOME. Speed has no corresponding IV in Pokémon GO, so it is instead randomly generated upon transfer (making it the only IV of a Pokémon transferred from GO that can be even).

{| class="roundtable" style="background:#{{night color}}; border:3px solid #{{blue color light}}; text-align:center"
! style="color:#FFF" | Core series IV
! style="color:#FFF" | GO IV
|-
| HP || HP
|-
| Attack || Attack
|-
| Defense || Defense
|-
| Special Attack || Attack
|-
| Special Defense || Defense
|-
| Speed
| ''N/A''
|}

Due to this calculation enforcing that all of the Pokémon's IVs except Speed are odd, Pokémon transferred from GO will always have either {{t|Ice}}- or {{type|Dark}} Hidden Power in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. (Hidden Power's type is determined differently in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.)

====Example====
If a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Zigzagoon}} with these IVs in Pokémon GO is transferred to HOME:

{| class="roundy" width="650px" style="background: #{{platinum color}}; border: 3px solid #{{platinum color light}}"
|- style="text-align:center"
| class="roundyleft" rowspan=2 style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | {{MSP/GO|0263G|Zigzagoon|Galarian Form|size=100px}}
! style="background: #f00; width: 14%" | Hit Points
! style="background: #f93; width: 14%" | Attack
! class="roundytr" style="background: #fc3; width: 14%" | Defense
|- style="text-align:center"
| style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 8
| style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 15
| class="roundybr" style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 4
|}

It could have this set of IVs after transfer:

{{Hidden Power calculation/IV|17|31|9|25|31|9|HOME263G.png{{!}}100px}}

===Nature===
The Pokémon's [[Nature]] is randomly generated upon transfer.

===Ability===
The Pokémon's [[Ability]] is randomly selected from the Pokémon's standard Abilities as of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

===Height and weight===
The Pokémon's [[height]] and [[weight]] are retained, but display the species default value instead when viewed in HOME. (In contrast, Pokémon transferred from GO via Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee! display their unique height and weight values from Pokémon GO in Pokémon HOME.) If transferred into [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], it will display its unique height and weight values in that game, despite not displaying them in HOME.

==Bugs==
* Prior to November 16, 2020, [[Regional form|Alolan and Galarian Forms]] of {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} used the learnsets of their original forms from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], rather than the learnsets of their actual forms, causing the Pokémon to be able to know moves they otherwise would not.<ref>[https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/354645386746527745/775957526994616380/Screenshot_20201111-110803_Pokmon_HOME.jpg]</ref> [https://i.redd.it/0gkikai1hnz51.jpg An official announcement] was made regarding the issue, and it has since been fixed and the affected Pokémon's moves have been replaced.
** The fix was introduced with v1.2.1 of the Nintendo Switch version of [[Pokémon HOME]], released on December 9, 2020, UTC. When the Switch version of HOME and a Pokémon Sword or Shield save file are linked, all Pokémon affected by the bug (including those in the [[party]], the [[nursery]], and [[Poké Job]]s) are fixed.<ref>https://twitter.com/sibuna_switch/status/1336676722679361536</ref>
* When it first became possible to transfer Hisuian {{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Electrode}} on May 24, 2022, they initially used their Kantonian form's learnset from [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] as long as they were not transferred onward to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1529230936025473024</ref> This bug was resolved in September 2022.
* Sometime on or before June 11, 2022, Galarian {{p|Slowking}} could obtain the Ability {{a|Unseen Fist}} upon transfer from GO, and would keep it on transfer to [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. However, it would then not be allowed in online trades or battles unless the player used an [[Ability Capsule]] or [[Ability Patch]].<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1535722945175248896</ref> This bug was resolved on December 14, 2022—any Galarian Slowking with Unseen Fist in HOME have their ability corrected to {{a|Curious Medicine}}.
* On June 15, 2023 between 09:00 UTC and 15:10 UTC, transferred Pokémon would have their current [[experience]] set to 0xFFFFFFFF (4,294,967,295), causing them to appear as level 1 in the mobile version of HOME and level 100 in the Switch version of HOME. This also blocked them from online [[trade]]s in HOME and online trades in all games except {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}, as well as displaying a current experience of -1 in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} and causing the [[summary]] to crash the game in Scarlet/Violet. If the Pokémon was compatible with a Switch game, players could normalize the experience to the regular level 100 maximum by (for example) sending out the Pokémon in a wild battle. Pokémon HOME intends to fix the issue for all Pokémon currently inside HOME at a later date.

Battle Point

2023-07-12T10:05:45Z

Jmvb: /* Generation VIII */

{{search|currency in the core series games|the currency in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]|Battle Point (Masters)}}
'''Battle Points''' (Japanese: '''バトルポイント''' ''Battle Point''), or more often known as '''BP''' (Japanese: '''{{j|BP}}''' ''BP''), are a special sort of {{cat|currency}} in the [[Pokémon world]] that can be won as a prize for defeating {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in specific [[Battle facility|battle facilities]]. They can be traded for [[item]]s or paid to [[Move Tutor]]s to teach moves.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, at Beach Spots only, they are referred to as '''Beach Points''' (Japanese: '''ビーチポイント''' ''Beach Point'').

Battle Points were introduced in {{game|Emerald}}, where they are earned at facilities in the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and can be exchanged for various prizes.

==In the games==
===Generation III===
In {{game|Emerald}}, the player earns Battle Points by winning at the battle facilities in the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. Additionally, the first time the player visits the Battle Frontier, [[Scott]] gives them a number of BP that depends on the number of times they had previously interacted.

Battle Points can be exchanged for items or [[decoration]]s at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Point Exchange Service Corner}} in the Battle Frontier, or spent at [[Move Tutor]]s who are located in the Battle Frontier.

===Generation IV===
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the player can earn Battle Points by winning at the {{si|Battle Tower}}. Battle Points can be exchanged for items at the {{DL|Battle Park (Sinnoh)|Exchange Service Corner}} in {{si|Battle Park}}, the location of the Battle Tower. Items the player can purchase with BP include [[Power item]]s and [[evolution item]]s.

In {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the player can earn BP from all {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} facilities. In addition, in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player can earn a limited amount of BP once per day at the [[Trainer House]]. Battle Points can be exchanged for items at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Exchange Service Corner}} or scratch cards at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Pokémon Scratch-Off Corner}}. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player can also spend BP at [[Move Tutor]]s located in [[Frontier Access]].

===Generation V===
In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, the player can earn Battle Points at the [[Battle Subway]]. In Black 2 and White 2 only, the player can also earn BP at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], as well as from the [[Global Battle Union]] and [[Global Terminal|Random Matchup]].

BP can be exchanged for items at one of the Exchange Service Corners located on each of the platforms at [[Battle Subway|Gear Station]]. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, they can also be spent at the Exchange Service Corner at the Pokémon World Tournament.

===Generation VI===
In [[Generation VI]], the player can earn Battle Points at the [[Battle Maison]] and [[Battle Institute]]. Whereas in previous games the player would have to complete an entire round (often requiring the player to defeat 7 consecutive Trainers), at the Battle Maison the player is awarded BP each time they defeat a Trainer.

In [[Pokémon Bank]], the player earns [[Poké Mile]]s over time, based on the number of Pokémon they have in their Bank. When the player connects a game to their Pokémon Bank account, they can choose to receive any accrued Poké Miles as either Poké Miles or Battle Points (in which case they divided by 10, rounded down) in that game.

Battle Points can be exchanged for items at the Exchange Service Corner at the Battle Maison. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player can spend BP at the [[Move Tutor]]s located at the [[Battle Resort]].

===Generation VII===
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Battle Points can be obtained at the [[Battle Royal Dome]] and [[Battle Tree]]. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon only, the player can also play [[Mantine Surf]] to earn BP (referred to as Beach Points here) at the Surf Spots at [[Big Wave Beach]], [[Heahea Beach]], [[Ula'ula Beach]], and [[Poni Beach]].

BP can be exchanged for items at the Exchange Service Counter at the Battle Royal Dome and Battle Tree. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, they can also be exchanged for items at Surf Spots or spent at the Move Tutors at Surf Spots and the Battle Tree.

===Generation VIII===
In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the player can earn Battle Points at the {{gal|Battle Tower}}.

BP can be exchanged for various items at the Battle Tower and in [[Hammerlocke]], where the southern [[Poké Mart]] houses a BP Shop in addition to the regular store.

In [[Pokémon HOME]], the player earns Pokémon HOME Points for storing Pokémon. These can be converted to Battle Points (at a rate of 1 Battle Point for every 30 HOME Points) that are then sent to Pokémon Sword or Shield.

Battle Points were also rewarded to players performing well in [[Ranked Battle|Ranked Battles]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Emerald}}====
In ''[[PS320|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume II]]'', {{adv|Emerald}} was revealed to have used the Battle Points he had earned during his {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} challenge to teach his {{TP|Emerald|Dusclops}} {{m|Fire Punch}}.

Special Pokémon

2023-07-04T21:49:26Z

Jmvb: /* Potential Special Pokémon */ banned in Reg D

{{incomplete|Page|Gen 9}}

'''Special Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特別|とくべつ}}なポケモン''' ''Special Pokémon'') is a term referring to a group of Pokémon in the [[core series]] games and side games that are restricted or banned from certain official tournaments, battle facilities, and link battle formats. Most Special Pokémon are {{pkmn2|Legendary}} [[game mascot]]s. While the concept exists in all generations, the term was not used until [[Generation IV]].

==Terminology==
Whenever Special Pokémon are restricted or banned, Mythical Pokémon are also usually banned. While often only "special Pokémon" are mentioned to be banned when both Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon are, the description of the [[GS Cup]] indicates that Mythical Pokémon are not Special Pokémon.

The term "special Pokémon" is also used in a purely descriptive sense (as opposed to being used as a key term) in the [[Rotom Pokédex]]. Pokémon whose QR Codes cannot be viewed in the Rotom Pokédex (all Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, as well as the [[Ultra Beast]]s) are referred to as "special Pokémon". This usage is entirely distinct from the usage to describe Pokémon that are restricted from certain battles.

==List==
The following list only includes the Pokémon that are always considered to be Special Pokémon. Mythical Pokémon are considered to be Special Pokémon in most, but not all, contexts.

===Potential Special Pokémon===
In Generation VII, it is unclear whether {{p|Greninja}} with {{a|Battle Bond}} is considered a Special Pokémon. Unlike Special Pokémon, it is allowed in the [[Battle Tree]], but like them it is banned from the [[Battle Spot]] and [[Battle Stadium]].

==Usage restrictions==
{{incomplete|section|2=Restrictions in Generation VII and VIII}}
===Official tournaments===


In [[Generation I]], many official tournaments banned {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}}, the only existing Special Pokémon and [[Mythical Pokémon]], respectively. As subsequent generations expanded both groups, the additional members were also banned from most official tournaments. However, some tournaments, such as the {{DL|Rule variants|Mobile Cup 2001}} and [[Pokémon Emerald Ultimate Frontier Brain Battle]], only banned Mythical Pokémon and allowed Special Pokémon. Several online competitions specifically allow Special Pokémon, or Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon.

At the [[Pokémon Video Game Showdown 2008]], {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, and all Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon were banned. In the [[2009 World Championships|2009 Pokémon Video Game Championships]], {{p|Tyranitar}} and all Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon were banned.

In the [[2010 World Championships|2010 Pokémon Video Game Championships]], a player could have up to 2 Special Pokémon on their team, but all Mythical Pokémon were banned.

In the Pokémon Video Game Championships from [[2011 World Championships|2011]] to [[2015 World Championships|2015]], all Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon were banned.

In the [[2016 World Championships|2016 Pokémon Video Game Championships]], a player could have up to 2 Special Pokémon on their team, but all Mythical Pokémon were banned.

In the Pokémon Video Game Championships from [[2017 World Championships|2017]] to [[2018 World Championships|2018]], all Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon were banned. This also included Ash-Greninja.

In the [[2019 World Championships|2019 Pokémon Video Game Championships]], a player could have up to 2 Special Pokémon on their team, but all Mythical Pokémon and Ash-Greninja were banned.

===Battle facilities===
In [[Generation II]], Special Pokémon and [[Mythical Pokémon]] can only enter the {{gdis|Battle Tower|II}} if the level chosen is 70 or higher ({{pkmn|Egg}}s are not allowed to enter).

From [[Generation III]] onward, {{pkmn|Egg}}s, [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon are banned from most battle facilities (except [[Trainer Tower]] and [[Trainer Hill]]). Additionally, in [[Generation IV]], {{p|Rotom}} will revert to its normal form when entered in a battle facility.

In [[Generation VIII]], Special Pokémon and [[Mythical Pokémon]] can enter the {{gdis|Battle Tower|VIII}} without restriction but are banned from [[Restricted Sparring]].

===Battle modes===
Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon are banned from all cups in {{game|Yellow}}'s Colosseum 2, and all [[Stadium Cup]]s except [[Prime Cup]] in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

In the Generation IV games' special rulesets in link battles, Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon are banned from the [[Fancy Cup]] and [[Light Cup]] (and the [[Little Cup]] implicitly). In the [[GS Cup]], a player can only have up to 2 Special Pokémon on their team, but all Mythical Pokémon are banned.

In [[Generation VI]], Special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon cannot participate in {{DL|Pokémon Global Link|Rating Battles}} in [[Battle Spot]] [[Random Matchup]].

===Global Trade System===
From [[Generation VI]] onward on the [[Global Trade System]], the player can choose to filter out people seeking special Pokémon. Doing so also filters out players seeking Mythical Pokémon.

GO Transporter

2023-06-29T10:10:53Z

Jmvb: /* Restrictions */

[[File:GO Transporter.png|thumb|right|170px|The GO Transporter in {{g|GO}}]]
The '''GO Transporter''' (Japanese: '''転送装置''' ''Transporter'') is a feature in {{g|GO}} that allows the player to [[transfer]] Pokémon from Pokémon GO to {{g|HOME}}. It was made available on November 11, 2020 (November 10, 2020 in North America). It is accessed by selecting Pokémon HOME from the settings menu.

The GO Transporter is one-way, meaning that Pokémon sent to HOME cannot be sent back to GO. Pokémon transferred via the GO Transporter also cannot be moved to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], but can be moved to [[Generation VIII]] games.

Using the GO Transporter can also unlock the [[Mystery Box]].

==Connectivity==
If a Pokémon GO account and a Pokémon HOME account are connected to the same Nintendo Account, and that Pokémon HOME account has been opened on a mobile device before, then the GO Transporter can be used to send Pokémon from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME.

The Pokémon HOME Premium Plan is not required to access the GO Transporter.

==Restrictions==
Up to 25 Pokémon may be sent through the GO Transporter in one transaction. Once Pokémon have been sent to Pokémon HOME via GO Transporter, they must be received in Pokémon HOME before more Pokémon can be sent.

The player cannot transfer a Pokémon that is currently set as a Favorite, is deployed into a {{OBP|Gym|GO}}, is set as the [[Buddy Pokémon]], or is currently [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]].

Once sent to HOME, {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon (with the exception of {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}) can only be moved to a [[Generation VIII]] [[core series]] game if they have been registered to the Pokédex or obtained at least once in that game. However, this restriction is only enforced on the HOME account that the Pokémon was originally transferred to—if it is traded to a different HOME account, it can be transferred to any Generation VIII or IX game.

In addition, the following Pokémon and forms cannot be sent to HOME:
* {{p|Spinda}}
* {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}} (but [[Purified Pokémon]] can be)
* [[Event Pokémon (GO)|Event Pokémon]] (costumed Pokémon)
* {{p|Hoopa}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Hoopa|Unbound]] (but Hoopa Confined can be)

==GO Transporter Energy==
GO Transporter Energy (Japanese: 転送エナジー ''Transfer Energy'') is required for each Pokémon that is transferred. The GO Transporter can store a maximum of 10,000 GO Transporter Energy at one time, and it automatically recharges 60 GO Transporter Energy per hour. As such, it takes 6 days, 22 hours, and 40 minutes to fully recharge a GO Transporter from zero Energy. Players can also pay [[PokéCoin]]s, at {{PCoin}}1 for 10 Energy, to instantly and fully recharge the GO Transporter.

The amount of GO Transporter Energy required by the GO Transporter to transfer a Pokémon depends on several factors: its [[Combat Power|CP]]; whether it is {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, {{pkmn2|Mythical}}, an [[Ultra Beast]]; and whether it is [[Shiny Pokémon (GO)|Shiny]]. All costs are capped at 10,000.

==Modifications to transported Pokémon==
Pokémon are modified in a similar way to how they are modified when transferred via the [[GO Park]], although the conversion is not exactly the same.

===Form===
Forms are normally preserved by the GO Transporter. Unlike [[Pokémon Bank]], {{p|Furfrou}} will preserve its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Furfrou|different trims]] when deposited in HOME via the GO Transporter.

[[Purified Pokémon]] become regular Pokémon.

Pokémon in forms that they can only take in battle in the [[core series]] games or that have special requirements that would not be met in Pokémon HOME revert to their default form when transported to HOME. The player is warned about this form change on the confirmation screen before transporting the Pokémon. The following lists the alternate forms that change to the base form upon transfer.

{{MSP/GO|0649B|Genesect|Douse Drive}} [[Douse Drive]]
|}

===Origin===
Pokémon transferred from Pokémon GO have Pokémon GO as their [[game of origin]], resulting in them having the [[File:GO icon VIII.png|16px|GO]] [[origin mark]].

The Pokémon's [[language of origin]] is the language that was originally set in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]] the first time that the player used it. This language value is visible on the Profile screen of the mobile version of Pokémon HOME. (The current language of Pokémon HOME and Pokémon GO have no impact on the Pokémon's language of origin.)

===Level===
The Pokémon's [[level]] will be the same as its [[Power Up]] level in Pokémon GO, rounded down to the nearest integer. This means that Pokémon transported from Pokémon GO can range from level 1 to level 50.

===Moves===
The moves that a Pokémon knew in Pokémon GO have no bearing on its moves in HOME. The Pokémon's moves are reset to moves it would know in the wild at its current level (i.e. its level-up moves at that level). The game whose learnset is used depends on the Pokémon's species:
* If the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it uses its learnset from those games, even if this learnset contains moves unusable in Sword and Shield.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdatlcVuytM</ref>
* Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] (including the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]]), it uses its learnset from those games.
* Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], it uses its learnset from those games.
* Otherwise, it uses its learnset from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

===Original Trainer and nickname===
No Original Trainer information from Pokémon GO is kept. The Pokémon's Original Trainer is set to the player's name and [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] in the mobile version of Pokémon HOME.

The Pokémon GO Trainer who sent the Pokémon to HOME is listed on the Pokémon's summary screen in Pokémon HOME. Prior to Pokémon HOME version 2.0.0, this information would be lost if it was moved to a [[Generation VIII]] game; this information is now preserved. The Pokémon GO Trainer name is not listed for Pokémon that were transferred from GO to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.

The Pokémon's [[nickname]] is removed, reverting to its species name in its language of origin.

===Met date===
The Pokémon's met date is the date it was obtained in Pokémon GO. For hatched Pokémon, this is the date they were hatched rather than the date their Egg was received (unless they were hatched before hatch dates were recorded).

===Poké Ball===
The Pokémon's [[Poké Ball]] will be the same as the Poké Ball it was caught in in Pokémon GO. Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s will be contained in a standard {{i|Poké Ball}}.

This contrasts with Pokémon that were transferred from Pokémon GO to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and then placed in Pokémon HOME—those Pokémon instead use the Poké Ball that was used to catch them in the GO Park, rather than the one that was used in Pokémon GO.

===IVs===
The Pokémon's {{IV}}s are calculated from its IVs in Pokémon GO. In Pokémon HOME, its IVs are equal to one more than twice their corresponding IV in GO (i.e. <math display="inline">HOME = 2 \times GO + 1</math>). As a result, the maximum possible IV for a transferred Pokémon is 31 (the maximum possible for any Pokémon) while the minimum is 1, and the IVs are all guaranteed to be odd.

The following are the corresponding GO IVs for each IV in Pokémon HOME. Speed has no corresponding IV in Pokémon GO, so it is instead randomly generated upon transfer (making it the only IV of a Pokémon transferred from GO that can be even).

{| class="roundtable" style="background:#{{night color}}; border:3px solid #{{blue color light}}; text-align:center"
! style="color:#FFF" | Core series IV
! style="color:#FFF" | GO IV
|-
| HP || HP
|-
| Attack || Attack
|-
| Defense || Defense
|-
| Special Attack || Attack
|-
| Special Defense || Defense
|-
| Speed
| ''N/A''
|}

Due to this calculation enforcing that all of the Pokémon's IVs except Speed are odd, Pokémon transferred from GO will always have either {{t|Ice}}- or {{type|Dark}} Hidden Power in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. (Hidden Power's type is determined differently in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.)

====Example====
If a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Zigzagoon}} with these IVs in Pokémon GO is transferred to HOME:

{| class="roundy" width="650px" style="background: #{{platinum color}}; border: 3px solid #{{platinum color light}}"
|- style="text-align:center"
| class="roundyleft" rowspan=2 style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | {{MSP/GO|0263G|Zigzagoon|Galarian Form|size=100px}}
! style="background: #f00; width: 14%" | Hit Points
! style="background: #f93; width: 14%" | Attack
! class="roundytr" style="background: #fc3; width: 14%" | Defense
|- style="text-align:center"
| style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 8
| style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 15
| class="roundybr" style="background: #fff; width: 14%" | 4
|}

It could have this set of IVs after transfer:

{{Hidden Power calculation/IV|17|31|9|25|31|9|HOME263G.png{{!}}100px}}

===Nature===
The Pokémon's [[Nature]] is randomly generated upon transfer.

===Ability===
The Pokémon's [[Ability]] is randomly selected from the Pokémon's standard Abilities as of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

===Height and weight===
The Pokémon's [[height]] and [[weight]] are retained, but display the species default value instead when viewed in HOME. (In contrast, Pokémon transferred from GO via Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee! display their unique height and weight values from Pokémon GO in Pokémon HOME.) If transferred into [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], it will display its unique height and weight values in that game, despite not displaying them in HOME.

==Bugs==
* Prior to November 16, 2020, [[Regional form|Alolan and Galarian Forms]] of {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} used the learnsets of their original forms from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], rather than the learnsets of their actual forms, causing the Pokémon to be able to know moves they otherwise would not.<ref>[https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/354645386746527745/775957526994616380/Screenshot_20201111-110803_Pokmon_HOME.jpg]</ref> [https://i.redd.it/0gkikai1hnz51.jpg An official announcement] was made regarding the issue, and it has since been fixed and the affected Pokémon's moves have been replaced.
** The fix was introduced with v1.2.1 of the Nintendo Switch version of [[Pokémon HOME]], released on December 9, 2020, UTC. When the Switch version of HOME and a Pokémon Sword or Shield save file are linked, all Pokémon affected by the bug (including those in the [[party]], the [[nursery]], and [[Poké Job]]s) are fixed.<ref>https://twitter.com/sibuna_switch/status/1336676722679361536</ref>
* When it first became possible to transfer Hisuian {{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Electrode}} on May 24, 2022, they initially used their Kantonian form's learnset from [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] as long as they were not transferred onward to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1529230936025473024</ref> This bug was resolved in September 2022.
* Sometime on or before June 11, 2022, Galarian {{p|Slowking}} could obtain the Ability {{a|Unseen Fist}} upon transfer from GO, and would keep it on transfer to [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. However, it would then not be allowed in online trades or battles unless the player used an [[Ability Capsule]] or [[Ability Patch]].<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1535722945175248896</ref> This bug was resolved on December 14, 2022—any Galarian Slowking with Unseen Fist in HOME have their ability corrected to {{a|Curious Medicine}}.
* On June 15, 2023 between 09:00 UTC and 15:10 UTC, transferred Pokémon would have their current [[experience]] set to 0xFFFFFFFF (4,294,967,295), causing them to appear as level 1 in the mobile version of HOME and level 100 in the Switch version of HOME. This also blocked them from online [[trade]]s in HOME and online trades in all games except {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}, as well as displaying a current experience of -1 in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} and causing the [[summary]] to crash the game in Scarlet/Violet. If the Pokémon was compatible with a Switch game, players could normalize the experience to the regular level 100 maximum by (for example) sending out the Pokémon in a wild battle. Pokémon HOME intends to fix the issue for all Pokémon currently inside HOME at a later date.

List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon

2023-06-21T16:20:57Z

Jmvb: /* List */ gimmighoul/gholdengo

This is a '''list of unobtainable [[Shiny Pokémon]]''' in the [[Pokémon games]].

==Availability==
In all [[generation]]s since Shiny Pokémon debuted, there are a few species that cannot be legitimately obtained as Shiny. These Pokémon are commonly referred to as Shiny-locked. This can happen if the Pokémon is coded not to appear as Shiny in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, or via in-game {{pkmn2|gift}}s, [[in-game trades]], [[breeding]], or has never been distributed as Shiny via {{pkmn2|event}}s.

However, with the exception of [[Pikachu in a cap]], the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Magearna}} (Magearna's standard form is missing its Shiny form in [[Generation VII]] only), all of these Pokémon have Shiny variants in their respective games' code, regardless of their availability.

===List===

The following is a non-comprehensive list of notable species that have been subject to shiny-locks in a given game, or generation, with some having extremely limited conditions for being obtained as Shiny.

Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''✔''' can be obtained in-game, either in a specific version, denoted by abbreviations for said game(s), or the generation as a whole.

Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''~''' could not be obtained in-game directly, but could be acquired through [[Event Pokémon|event distributions]] or [[transfer]] from other games.

Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''✘''' could not be obtained by any means, either in a specific version, denoted by abbreviations for said game(s), or the generation as a whole.

Jmvb: /* Home Points */ new section

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either '''130''' or '''0233''' on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! --[[User:Force Fire|Force]] [[User talk:Force Fire|Fire]] 06:57, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

==Samurott==

Wheres your sorce, Serebii dose not count as a sorce? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 17:00, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

== Move variations ==

I don't know if you intend to pick up editing these again, but please be aware that moves are only considered variations if they are within 5 PP of each other. Make sure any moves you're adding meet that criteria. Even if you disagree that that should be a criteria, it is something you would need to bring up in discussion in order to get changed. Thanks. =) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 08:16, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
:At this time, please stop working on content regarding move variants. The staff is currently undergoing discussion regarding possible redefinition of the criteria that determines what is and is not a move variant. Thanks, - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 18:32, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

== Move power ==

Please stop creating move power navigation templates until you obtain Editorial Board approval. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 06:39, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
:Okay fine. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 06:41, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

== Sandbox ==

While it's all right to have a sandbox (heck, [[User:CycloneGU/Sandbox|I have one myself]], please refrain from making a lot of edits to it. Your sandbox is still within userspace and is subject to the [[Bulbapedia:Userspace policy|userspace policy]], which generally stipulates three userspace edits per day provided you contribute at least four edits a day to mainspace. Exceptions can be made for pages being prepared for mainspace (as generally proposing new pages should be done via userspace), but the sandbox area usually does not qualify for exceptions. Use the preview button where possible when making sandbox edits instead of immediately saving, then [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User%3ATehPerson%2FSandbox&type=revision&diff=2308758&oldid=2308748 immediately changing them again]]. Also, note that I have several different projects in the same single Sandbox page by using section headers like in a normal article; this is instead of using several different pages as you have. There's nothing wrong with multiple sandboxes as far as I'm aware, it's just an idea I'm passing along so you have a single place for everything you're working on. =)

These are merely suggestions to help you out, so I hope they are helpful! [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 07:19, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
::I know I know. I used Show Preview to minimize edits, and tried to limit them to 3, but sometimes you gotta publish it to see how it affects another page. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 07:41, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
:::Yeah, that's the difficulty with templates in userspace. You have to save it too see what happens. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:01, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

== Recent block ==

I saw recently that you were blocked for being "insubordinate" in editing Ability variations, when you had only been told about move variations. Now, if you don't care about that little mess at all (or if perhaps you've already resolved it elsewhere), feel free to skip the rest of this.

Anyway, I kind of took it upon myself (presumptively, perhaps) to alert {{u|Kogoro}} about her mistake so that she might undo it sooner rather than later. I kept after it too, but I am now told that it's not my concern since I wasn't the one blocked. I understand that logic, but I also kind of think it's a bit of a cheat. IMHO it's not too much to ask for a simple acknowledgement of the mistake. (In short—and I know this may sound a little silly—I just want to know that Bulbapedia's not somehow okay with such a mistake.) So, I thought I'd ask you if you'd like to raise that issue on your own behalf? If you just wish to chime in where I've already tried asking, that's [[User talk:Kogoro#TehPerson's block|here]].

If one way or another you just don't care about this, then I'm sorry for wasting your time. =) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:54, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your concern. While I do agree with you, I feel that doing so would only result in more harm than help. Looking at your conversation, it is clear Kogoro does not wish to discuss the issue, and even more so to admitting a careless mistake. Although I have considered bringing it up, I feel that at best I'll get a passive-aggressive apology with a reprimand attached.

Anyways, thank you for standing up for what's right. Much appreciated! [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 00:10, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

== Templates ==

Next time you create a template, please either create it in your userspace and tag with a {{template|mainspace}} tag or ask a staff member, preferably an Editorial Board member, if it is needed. I will be moving [[User:TehPerson/MovePower|your MovePower template]] to your userspace. Thank you for your time, and sorry for any inconveniences. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 03:04, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
:Again, templates must be made in the userspace and then be approved by the Editorial Board before put in the mainspace. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 02:11, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
::Well, you're welcome anyways. The new list at least exist in the history for future reference :) [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 02:20, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --[[User:ChE clarinetist|ChE clarinetist]] ([[User talk:ChE clarinetist|talk]]) 16:48, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

== New pages/notability ==

You've made a few new pages recently, and I'd like to inform you, as a rule, new pages ''should'' be made in the userspace first and then brought to staff's attention for mainspacing. (This is mainly done by using the {{template|mainspace}} tag, but if you want to ask an appropriate staff member about a page directly, you can also do that.) The two pages you made for Battle Maison info have turned out alright and we've more or less let them slide, but your latest page is a perfect example of why that rule exists and the "risk" when it's ignored.

Regarding Battle Maison Trainer quotes, you should understand that we don't care about any and all quotes here, we only care about ''major'', notable characters, not a bunch of random Trainers. I've moved your page to your userspace for now. Thanks for understanding [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:58, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

== Major changes ==

When you're adding something entirely new, like the Maison/etc Pokemon pages you created, it's fine if you want to try to present the information in a new/unique format. However, any major change to an ''existing'' format (particularly templates, or any format that touches multiple pages) should ''always'' be discussed first. And something like your edit to [[Template:SubwayPartner]] was absolutely a major change. Please try to keep this in mind in the future. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 06:32, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
: Apologies for the trouble. Though keeping things in mind... I post a creative change to old articles that most people don't read anymore. Nobody reads them, idea gets buried. But I go ahead and post it, get a slap on the wrist, but the content still stays because everyone knows it doesn't make sense to revert it. Again, sorry for stress, but you have to admit that the old format wasn't intended for entire team rosters. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 07:57, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
::If you need a response to something, talk to a staff member.
::Please don't assume you're always justified (or always will be). A couple of your pages stayed, sure. The Battle Maison Trainer quotes absolutely did not, though. And, personally, I don't think a straight substitution of the SubwayPartner template was a great solution. (In short, pretty much: that's a '''''very''''' nonstandard format to see on character pages, so (IMO) it doesn't belong there the same way the party format did. I'll try to address it soon-ish.) You're not infallible. And you won't be. That's pretty impossible for most people. (I absolutely count myself among that number, too.)

== Conditions/Contest moves ==

Hi! Tables with lots of coding should be implemented with templates to save space. Please don't add huge, hard-coded tables—especially if you were only doing that because you couldn't easily create a template for it yourself.

Also, FYI there's actually a sort of solution [[User talk:Kogoro/Movelist/newcontest|already in the works]] (it may change to some degree before it's implemented). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:11, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

== [[List of Battle Maison Trainers]] ==

Out of curiosity, can you tell me how you got the information for the Battle Maison Trainers? I've been poring over the page for a bit, and some of the Trainers seem fairly weird to me. Like Manuel, with those special additions in addition to the type groups (why aren't Flygon/Empoleon/Floatzel part of some group?). And especially Azure and Claus/etc, with Regirock/Lati@s coming from sets 1 and 2 and the rest of the team from set 4, when all the other teams have uniform set possibilities for their whole team. (Perhaps... Are Flygon/Empoleon/Floatzel and Regirock and Lati@s maybe randomly inserted into the last (or some single) slot on the Trainer's team or something? I.e., is it possible for Manuel to have both Flygon and Empoleon on his team, or Flygon and Empoleon and Floatzel?)

Also, what in the world is "Water, Grass and Fire '''''old'''''" for the Tier 2 Super {{tc|Chef}}s? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:16, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Oh yeah, thanks for pointing out the ambiguities. I wasn't sure if there was a better way to represent the Trainer's Pokemon data.

Basically the Pokemon Groups represents all the Pokemon that can possibly be used by a Trainer. All the algorithm does is select ''n'' Pokemon from that roster at random, ''n'' being the required number of Pokemon for a challenge. The Battle Chatelaines have fixed teams because their rosters only contain ''n'' Pokemon - the order therefore can still be different.

Basically, all the roster for an Ace Trainer is that of a generic team plus Lati@s (depending on the Ace Trainer's gender). That's why you sometimes see Lati@s if you battle Ace Trainers. Artist Azure is like that but with Regirock (sets 1 and 2) and a Rock/Steel/Ground roster. Though meeting said Regirock is still pretty rare. I've only encountered the non-Veteran's Regirock once. Also, "old" means "Gen (I-V)". Tier-2 chefs don't use Kalos Pokemon. A correction I keep forgetting to make :\

Not really sure why low-tier Skaters use Flygon/Empoleon/Floatzel. I've personally encountered that as well. All I notice is that they all know Aqua Jet or Quick Attack, so maybe it's a priority thing- since Skaters are into speed.

And to answer why the legendaries only come from set 1 and 2, my best answer is that because the way Sets are treated for Legendaries is not the same as other Pokemon. For most Pokemon, you see their set 1 versions at lower-streak battles and they gradually shift towards set 4. Legendaries all start appearing after battle 40, when Pokemon have already been using Set 4 for a while. Notice that all tier-VI Trainers use Set 4 Pokemon for non-Legendaries, but the sets for Legendaries still vary. I guess it was just an arbitrary decision to have Sets 1 and 2 made available for non-Veterans.

Let me know if you have any ideas on how to better represent the data. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 05:00, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

FYI, going from the links you gave above, I caught some errors on the Maison Trainer/Pokemon pages you made. (If I identify a Trainer below, any other Trainers that used the same roster also had the same mistake.)
* Set2 Porygon2 is not in the Hail group.
* Delphox/Greninja/Golurk are never in the Psychic/Dark/Ghost groups (respectively).
* Lucetta is not Set 4 Water+Ice, she's Set 4 Dark+Fairy+Normal.
* Bight also uses Ground Pokemon.
* Anastasia only uses Group C/D Psychic types.
I noticed you creating [[User:TehPerson/List of battle area Trainers (Generation VI)/1]], so I thought it would be best to let you know so you could correct any errors you have. I did see that on that page you apparently didn't include Greninja in the Poison/Dark table, though you did include it in the Dark table on [[List of Battle Maison Trainers]], so I don't know if they're more or less randomly introduced errors or what, though.

I mean, you've got tables for Groups A/B and C/D, but then also B/C which overlaps half of each of those, and then type groups which overlap again...

== Formatting ==

I must say, I'm very impressed by your extensive lists of Pokémon in various battle facilities. However, I've also noticed something you've been doing wrong: formatting. You use the [[Generation VI]] formatting on moves and items that had had their names written a different way to save character space before that. For example, Dynamic Punch as DynamicPunch, Never-Melt Ice as NeverMeltIce, and so forth. However, these facilities you're making Pokémon lists out of were in games BEFORE this happened, and as such, are written incorrectly for the games they were in. Just wanted to point that put for you. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 05:06, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Oh, that actually is done on purpose since the spreadsheet I'm using only has one type of spelling. I don't manually enter in all these values- it's mostly automated.

== Pokemon with Hidden Abilities ==

When we have two other pages already for [[List of Pokémon with released Hidden Abilities (Generation V)]] and [[List of Pokémon with released Hidden Abilities (Generation VI)]], please follow that convention as exactly as possible. Either you should have created the Gen VII page at "List of Pokémon with released Hidden Abilities (Generation VII)" in the first place, or when you [[Special:Diff/2654726|went to edit]] the Ability page and saw the existing/uncreated Gen VII link and noticed yours was different, you should have moved your page to the right name.

Additionally, the order you used on your page has, for instance, {{p|Cleffa}} in the Johto section, whereas in the previous generations' pages, Cleffa is with {{p|Clefairy}} in the Kanto section.

You have a history of making major changes without approval. I'm going to start here by generally reiterating that if you want to make any major change, please ask someone on {{bp|staff}} about it.

As far as the Battle Frontier pages go, splitting pages are decisions to be made by the {{bp|Editorial Board}}. You must get approval from {{bp|staff}} before splitting pages, you cannot just do it when you think you're ready. For the Gen III one, you may have thought you had permission after SnorlaxMonster's response to you on the talk page (and I'm not sure at the moment what he necessarily intended), but as far as I can tell you did not have even a hint at permission to split the Gen IV page.

Additionally, when you have userpages mocking up a page for the mainspace, do not just copy that code and edit it into the mainspace article. If there's a userpage, it should be ''moved'' into the mainspace with the wiki's move function. If you're not able to do this, then ask a {{bp|staff}} member for help.

== G-Max base moves ==

For signature G-Max Moves, should it be noted which base moves the Pokémon knowing the G-Max Move cannot learn and thus never legitimately use as base moves? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:31, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

== Dens ==

Can you explain where the information about the Pokemon in the dens comes from, as well as how the mechanics like rates and common/rare were found or where they were explained? Some of it is far from clear to me just based on the tables you've added to [[Dappled Grove]]. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:45, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
: [https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-sword-and-shield-datamine-thread.3656143/ Here]. The rate is basically the % of encountering each species given a specific difficulty level (difficulty rates vary depending on Gym badges). It might not sound so intuitive at first to you, but for people who've spent hours hunting Max Raids, the rates are very self explanatory. The rare dens have a ~10% chance of spawning each time-you can test this with the soft-reset trick with Wishing Pieces. Let me know if you want to help out with doing the rest. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 22:00, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
::The problem is, most of our users really aren't "people who've spent hours hunting Max Raids". =P
::I'll try to look over it and figure out how we can be more user-friendly here. One quick question: are the "rare" raids perhaps the special ones with the purple beam of light? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:42, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
:::Yes. To be analogous, you can treat the "★★★" dividers the same as you would for the weather conditions shown in the other encounter tables on the same page. The den, depending on your number of badges, will:
:::1. Pick a common (red light, red background) or rare (purple light, yellow background) pool
:::2. Pick a difficulty (1 to 5 stars) - distribution greatly varies depending on # of badges; and there's currently no complete knowledge of what the rates are
:::3. Then use those encounter % values to pick a species
:::Imo you probably won't be able to find a more user-friendly way of displaying this unless it's just adding an explanation to the top. [https://www.serebii.net/swordshield/maxraidbattles/den6.shtml Serebii's way of displaying rates] makes no intuitive sense (it looks like a Drifloon has a 20% chance of being 2-star and a 30% chance of being 3-star; in reality it's the other way around- 2-star has 20% chance of Drifloon and 3-star has 30% chance...)
:::And to further condense the information, you may notice a lot of redundant listings (e.g. a "Sword-exclusive" Onix at 20% and a "Shield-exclusive" Onix at 20% on the same table); that can ofc be done away with later, but I want to get the basic info on there first. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 02:57, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
::::The data you've added doesn't seem to line up with the dumped data ([https://pastebin.com/C1bcXHcS Sword], [https://pastebin.com/AfWZ6wz4 Shield]), at least in the couple of cases I checked.
::::For example, on [[Dappled Grove]], you listed Budew as appearing in 35% of 1★ Raids, where it is between levels 15-20. In the dumped data, while all 4 of the Budew raids occur for 35% of 1★ Raids at their respective Dens, it instead appears between level 25-30. In fact, the dumped data doesn't include any raids for level 15-20.
::::Of course, this doesn't align with my own in-game experience. For example, I have a Sizzlipede that I caught in a rare raid (purple pillar) in the [[Rolling Fields]] at Level 17 in Pokémon Shield, but the dumped data indicates that all Sizzlipede are level 25-30. (It's also worth noting that your list of Dens on the Rolling Fields page doesn't include Sizzlipede in any Max Raid Battle.)
::::So the levels in the dumped data appear to be incorrect. Do you know if they're just a case of being off by a constant, or are they just not used at all? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 03:44, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::That data was imo hard to decipher and it took me a while to understand it before I was able to parse it properly. Basically:
:::::* Ignore the "1-star, 2-star" in front of each Pokemon's name. That's also where they derived the level. The actual star is the "1-star desired, etc" fields. Good chance these errors are there because of the way the dataminers parsed and deciphered the raw data. It also implies the TR rewards for each Raid, regardless of difficulty is the same, even though that's empirically false.
:::::* Personal experience also tells me (outside of Wild Area News) level is dictated by difficulty. There's also the fact that newer players may see their levels scaled down from higher difficulty raids, but I know nothing of the mechanics regarding that.
:::::* Can't say much about the Sizzlipede from Rolling Fields, other than the fact that Sizzlipede can only come from Fire-type pools. Are you able to re-verify which Den in Rolling Fields has Fire-types?
:::::[[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 17:02, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
::::::I really haven't done this much, but there appear to be [https://pastebin.com/u/SciresM updates] that happen to have level 17 Sizzlipede, so that could be where it came from. I noticed Pokewiki has something others don't, but [[:de:Naturzone|I don't really know what that is]]. Levels per stars seems to make sense. Also, SnorlaxMonster's userpages appear to be buggy (see Ditto rates). Not really into it (yet), but is it possible that the levels just upgrade once you defeat Eternatus, much like regular encounter Pokémon do? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:09, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::::Oh right! I totally forgot that Wild Area News allows Sizzlipede to spawn in all Dens for Shield. I've been meaning to make similar rate tables for the various Wild Area News events later on. However, Wild Area News spawns always have the red light, not purple... so I'm not sure if that quite addresses SnorlaxMonster's issue. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 17:37, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
::::::::Hmm, maybe I'm misremembering the purple pillar for Sizzlipede. It's easy for me to confirm where it was caught and what level it was caught at, but the type of pillar that it came from was purely from memory.
::::::::Regarding the Star ratings, that it's solely based on the "Desired" values is basically what I figured. And yes, my experience is also that levels depend on the star rating of the raid.
::::::::Looking at the Ditto rates in [[User:SnorlaxMonster/Raids#Den 26|my tables]], it looks like it's just a case where the code I used to generate those tables assumed that there weren't any cases of two different entries for a raid at the same Den with the same name (i.e. including the "X-Star" part of the raid name). In the actual source data, the rates do sum to 100%.
::::::::For level scaling, my guess would simply be that players who don't have all of the Badges would have a high-level Raid Boss scaled down to their maximum catchable level. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:20, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::It does seem your table looks more compact than the ones I put on the mainspaces. I think if level is the only issue, then it can just be excluded, and mention on the [[Max Raid Battle]] page that Stars determine level- after all, understanding how Stars translate to level would just make listing levels redundant. The only exception would be ofc the [[Wild Area News]] raids, which have their own fixed levels. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 17:01, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Perhaps my initial request was unclear, but I've read the Smogon link now and it didn't answer my questions at all.

I was hoping to know:
# How/Where you got the information about which Pokemon are in which dens
# How/Where you got the information about how the raids are generated (star level, rates for possible occupants, etc)
Generally, I'd appreciate if you could be as specific as possible. That particularly includes links (like not just giving me the start of another thread where the relevant post may be I-have-no-idea-where in dozens upon dozens of pages, please =P ).

::I have it on one of my spreadsheets, and I ''think'' it's from [https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonSwordAndShield/comments/dz88r6/wild_area_den_number_map_version_20/ here], which cites a couple sources that seem to corroborate each other. (One's in Japanese so I don't know if it's circular reporting.) There was another source on the same subreddit linked [https://game8.co/games/pokemon-sword-shield/archives/273708#hl_2 here] (I can't find the original thread with the fancy, corresponding spreadsheet). IIRC the last source labels the Dens in a different order, but when cross-referenced they all match - for these conventions I deferred to Serebii's because that's the one sourced the most right now. The fact that at least 2 sources using 2 different naming conventions but resulting in the same data indicates that the sources at least aren't circularly confirmed. (And from personal experience, the Dens all seem to match (From memory, I can personally confirm all the ones in Bridge Field and the ones with GMax Spawns). But if you need to trial-and-error all of them with Wishing Pieces before mainspacing, that's fine too, but I'm 90+% sure you won't get anything different. Though if you do want to work on that first, I may need to rewrite the script to remove the redundant listings anyways. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 01:14, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
:::I'm going to look through those links (a little quicker this time), but first things first: just don't, ever, take anything at all from Serebii. Just nothing. Make up something sensible instead. (I kinda sorta don't even look at Serebii myself.) The short version is, we do not at all want to have any room to be accused of taking anything at all from Serebii.
:::Just for now, from the briefest check of the links...I would generally advise that the game8.co link is probably also not something we should just take from. In short: if it's not a crowd-sourced kind of site (roughly speaking, by users for users), you should probably ask permission before using their info (without adding a citation, anyway; there are certainly places where we cite other sites for detailed mechanics). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:21, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
{{indent}}OK... The Reddit page says the user took everything from Serebii and that "wiki" (which doesn't look like an actual wiki as far as I can tell). Taking info from Serebii means that's right out. Putting that aside for a moment or two...

I tried looking again at [https://pastebin.com/AfWZ6wz4 the raid data from Kaphotics]. I looked for a Gigantamax Pokemon and found {{p|Charizard}}'s nest, and found that on [[Lake of Outrage]]. I think I can get where the "Rare" den list comes from. But I'm quite mystified about the "Common" list. Can you please explain to me how you got the data for the "common" list for [[Lake of Outrage#Den C]]? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:06, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
:Not sure if this fully answers the question, but basically a "Common" raid is anything with the red light. If it's anything from the [[Wild Area News]] pool, which is always red, 90%+ chance it's from News and not the native Den. As for getting the "common" list, it's the exact same way I got the rare one. I copied the entire pastebin file onto a spreadsheet, used some scripts/formulas, and parsed them into BP templates. For both the Shield and Sword files, Nest 1 - 42 are all common and 43+ are all rare (in the order which they appear on the pastebin). And if you want to sample multiple raids to make sure it's the right pool (since many pools share a few Pokemon in common), you can use that [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdPRbS-HwSc clock reset] trick to reroll a different Pokemon (which only works if you use a Wishing Piece, otherwise the raid may just despawn). [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 21:03, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
::Are you saying that each Nest ID in Kaphotics' data does not correspond to exactly 1 den?
::I noticed that there are 100 dens and 93 Nest IDs, but I wasn't sure what to think besides go crazy. But if some of those Nest IDs are common lists and some rare—and some of the dens use the same list for one thing or another—then it could make sense. (Theoretically, I suppose one Nest ID could be the common set for one den and rare for another...)
::The "desired" part under the selection probabilities has always made me think there's something particularly special about it, and that there must be a more plain "non-desired" mechanic or something, but if I just ignore the word "desired" and treat the selection probabilities like simple pieces of the puzzle for an encounter table (that may apply to "common" or "rare" selections...unrelated to anything directly in Kaphotics' file, at least), it probably can be applied to all the Wild Area dens.
::...The problem remains that we can't use all the data built off of Serebii's data. I'm going to attempt to correlate Kaphotic's data from the ground up.

Hey, I was hoping maybe you would like to have a look at [[Talk:List of moves]]? I noticed that some years ago, you did some work related to contests. It seems like there used to be a dedicated userpage of yours (User:TehPerson/List of Contest moves) that was [[Special:Permalink/2427162|this list]]? Is that data correct ORAS data?

Just a reminder, you have been told of this several times over the years but any articles you want to Mainspace NEED to be created within your userpace first.

I changed the Move Variations page to note the accuracy difference since other than that, it's basically the same move.

== Transfer-only moves ==

I noticed you did quite a lot there, which is good, but I am also wondering basically why is it that you appear to have started from scratch rather than continue from where Suic and I had started (mainly [[Bulbapedia talk:Project Pokédex/Structure|here]] and [[User talk:Nescientist#Transfer-only moves|here]])?

I was also wondering where you pulled the data from, both the learnsets, and the move data itself (since that had a few errors Spriteit and I have recently fixed). And also, whether you already tried to get approval, or even already have approval, or something..?

Apart from missing events, when I compared [[User:Suic12-/Template:Learnlist/transferh/7|Suic's GenVII Bulbasaur]] to [[User:TehPerson/Transfer-only moves (Generation VII)|yours]] I also noticed that you did include HM moves that were unable to be transferred.

:I've never seen it before honestly. I think it's sheer coincidence that our templates actually ended up looking so similar. As for the "starting from scratch" part, I basically took a public database of move sets across all generations, then ran a code to compare cross-generational availability. 99% of what you see there is generated via script. HM moves were included because I never actually took that into consideration. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 13:47, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

:::I've made some changes to my templates to resemble the parts I liked about Suic's, but just to my [[User:TehPerson/Transfer-only moves (Generation VIII)|Generation VIII]] dataset for now. Now the only main difference between ours, it appears, is simply that my templates allow for linking to the specific subsections of each page based on learn method. Also, my dataset doesn't have full info on event-only moves, so I might be missing a chunk of those. Feel free to edit what's on my userspace if you like. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 01:05, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
::::Hey there, just saw this all happening a while ago. I've been away for a while, so it took me some time to catch up with the progress that has happened in the meantime. For what I saw, the work you've been doing regarding transfer-only moves seems to be very good, and I appreciate that more people are (independently) interested in this matter. I haven't really done much about it lately, but since you seem to be with a good momentum, and given that our templates are very similar overall, I would encourage you to change what you see fitting in my templates to match the ones you already made, if there is any need (if you already made them all, that's also fine, then you can feel free to incorporate to your templates whatever ideas or features you like from mine). You probably saw that by now, but just in case, the topic about transfer-only move in Nescientist's talk page covers what we had discussed about it, along with some conclusions we reached. What I had the most trouble with at the time was writing a script to compare all needed movesets, but yours seems to be doing very well, so that's great. I just think that we should make it so that it can properly categorize moves that cannot be transfered, such as HM moves in some Generations and moves from Pokémon like Cosplay Pikachu, and event/special moves, as was already mentioned. The other important part is getting approval, so if you think we heve enough to start this part, we can try talking to some staff members and show them what we have so far. And of course, I'm available to help in anyway I can, so just give me a shout if you need. [[User:Suic12-|Suic]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 03:04, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

== Starter G-Max Moves ==

The starter Pokémon's G-Max Moves' power tables were hidden because they were not confirmed to be the same as other Max Moves. Please don't unhide table like that unless you can actually confirm that they are accurate. As it turns out, those G-Max Moves do not use the same tables as other Max Moves, so your edit added incorrect information. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:16, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

== Battle Frontier Trainers Gen III ==

Last year you did some consolidating on the Gen III Battle Frontier trainer pages, moving Black Belt & Battle Girl to the same page & a bunch of trainer classes to the [[List_of_Battle_Frontier_Trainers_(Generation_III)/Youngster|Youngster]] page for example. Do you mind if I move them back to separate pages? The Youngster page in particular is very crowded. [[User:Lagnic|Lagnic]] ([[User talk:Lagnic|talk]]) 14:23, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm giving [[GO Battle League]] a desperately-needed update and saw you were the one to upload the existing rank icons. I have no clue how to retrieve high-quality images from the app — any chance you would be able to? We're missing the new low-rank icon as well as the top ranks.

== Missing female eevee models ==

Hi there TehPerson. I originally posted this in the Bulbagarden Archives, but seeing how you're not as active there, I'm posting it again here:

A few days ago, I was looking through the [[Eevee (Pokémon)#Sprites|Eevee (Pokémon)]] page and I noticed that the female models were missing from its sprites section. I tried modifying the template so that it would display them, but I immediately noticed that the female models from sw/sh were completely absent (the template has since been edited and you can now see this glaring omission).

Since you seem to have originally uploaded the [[a:File:Spr 8s 133.png|male eevee models]] from sw/sh, as well as the [[a:File:HOME133.png|male]] and [[a:File:HOME133 f.png|female]] eevee models from home, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind uploading the missing female eevee models (I myself don't know how to make them the way you did). I would really appreciate it :) [[User:AlternateRT|Alt]] ([[User talk:AlternateRT|talk]]) 22:08, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

== Battle facility data ==

Since you're the one who created the pages for battle facility Pokémon, I have a question - what is the source for these Pokémon? The Emerald Frontier Brains' Pokémon are not on [[List of Battle Frontier Pokémon (Generation III)|the list]], unlike other relevant bosses (with the only other missing data being ORAS helpers - understandable, considering they use ORAS Megas and thus have to be ORAS-exclusive data). [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 12:29, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
:Honestly, I downloaded this data into my personal spreadsheets 6+ years ago, and I can't exactly remember. It was in the raw datamined format, and I parsed through them- but those sites or links no longer seem to be online. Anyways, I dug through my Drive, and here's the Emerald info you're looking for: https://pastebin.com/iWuW44bu. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 21:57, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

So you're the one who ruined everything with these stupid new layouts. the picture for each Pokémon is way too small, the strecthed out moveset list is confusing to read, and words blend too much into the colors making it so you have to squint to have any chance of making out the words. I know this was done for super competive players by there are a lot of people who play a lot more casually and couldn't care less about this whole EV and nature nonsene. I in particular just want to see what Pokémon a character owns and what thier movesets are and the old layout was simple easy and had a nice look. So if you have to have the disgusting new look could you at least give the option to be able to toggle between it and oringal better one that way you won't be forced people away from site by keeping this useless new look. {{unsigned|Strawhatroger}}
:It is entirely possible for you to voice your opinions without being overtly rude. The template was originally made for Trainers with long lists of Pokemon (more than 6)- so that's not a decision I made myself. That being said, you're welcome to suggest changes on the articles' respective Talk pages. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 04:55, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
::Sorry it's just that like I said the new layout is difficult to read with how streched out it is and the backgroung colors blending into the text making it very hard to read. The old layout got the point across very easily with things like Pokémon images, type, level, ability, and moveset had a simple condensed setup that wasn't super stretched to the point where it was difficult to keep track of thing and the text and background colors didn't mix in a way where it was almost impossible to read. I understand wanting to include more info for competive players but more casual players like myself will just get confusing with this and wonder why you're changing this now when there didn't seem to be a reason to in the past. I know I keep going on about this but I've been visiting this place for years and it's my favorite site for Pokémon information so seeing this made my hyper OCDness freak out and get paranoid when all I wanted was to see which character owned which Pokémon and what their movesets are for a personal project and now I'm going nuts over this worried I'll be ignored or worse banned for daring to speak up. {{unsigned|Strawhatroger}}

== Question about GO sprites ==

Hello there. First, I want to say thanks for uploading most of the sprites from the game, I really appreciate it.

I would have a request. The next time you'll upload more GO sprites, could you update sprites for Galarian Ponyta (and its GO Fest costume) and Heliolisk? They're fixed for some time already (with that I mean Ponyta's white mane on forehead and Heliolisk's glowing head).

== Move infobox, again ==

For some common move effects, I gave more descriptive information (''blocked by Protect'', ''reflected by Magic Coat/Bounce'', etc.).

I could also have a set of criteria if that common effect is displayed:
{| class="wikitable"
! Common effect
! Display only for:
|-
! Contact
| Damaging moves
|-
! Protect
| All moves, except status moves that hit the user, but including Acupressure and Curse
|-
! Magic Coat
| Status moves that hit other Pokémon than the user, status moves that hit allies, Acupressure and Curse
|-
! Snatch
| Status moves not defined under "Magic Coat", plus Acupressure and Curse
|-
! Mirror Move
| Moves defined under "Magic Coat", plus damaging moves
|-
! King's Rock
| Damaging moves
|}
Other effects, such as the move being a sound-based move or usability outside of battle, these should only be visible for the moves that have such criteria. I could also add some more (e.g. ''Iron Fist'' --> ''Power boost from {{a|Iron Fist}}''). --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|Bfdifan2006]]''''' ([[User talk:Bfdifan2006|T]]/[[Special:Contributions/Bfdifan2006|C]]) 10:35, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
:I actually modified it a bit, so the table with the targets was replaced with a grid. (In CSS, these two are really different.) Also, I made sure not the whole table is replaced if the move is a [[Shadow move]], instead, it only hides the last column for Shadow moves. At [[User talk:TehPerson/MoveInfobox]], I provided an example to show you that this does work.
:Additionally, I need to ask you about the stuff above so we don't need the six common move flags to display for all moves.

== Home Points ==

Hi. I saw you added the info about how many Home points you get, and based on my own testing it seems to be incorrect. (been consistently getting 104 points a day on an account with ~4500 pokemon - should be more like 140 according to the info in the article, and 4 points a day on an account with 9 pokémon (according to article should be 0) )
I was wondering if you had any notes from when you tested, or if you pulled the info from somewhere else? There seems to be more going on here. Either different pokémon are worth different amounts (the second account happens to have mostly legenadaries, which could be worth more points), or the point accumulation curve isn't linear. Or it's something else entirely. [[User:Jmvb|JMVB - very sporadic editor since 2008]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 09:32, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

'''Pokémon HOME''' (Japanese: '''Pokémon HOME''') is a cloud service for {{wp|iOS}}, {{wp|iPadOS}}, {{wp|Android (operating system)|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.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zone differences, the app was released on February 11, 2020 in the Americas, even though it was released at the same time as the rest of the world.</ref>

It was announced at the [[Pokémon Presents#May 29, 2019|Pokémon 2019 Press Conference]] on May 29, 2019.

Pokémon HOME is managed by Pokémon researcher [[Grand Oak]], whose goal is to create a [[Pokédex]] that includes every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}.

==Features==
===Pokémon transfer===
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way [[transfer]] to and from all Switch [[core series]] games. Both the mobile and Switch versions allow one-way transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] (only with a Premium Plan) and [[Pokémon GO]]. Support for [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] is planned for May 30, 2023.

====Compatibility with Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
Only Pokémon originally from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can be moved into (another copy of) Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and if such a Pokémon is transferred into a future game, it can no longer be moved back to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!. Pokémon can only be transferred into a Generation VIII game if it is present in the coding of the target game.

Pokémon that arrive in HOME via transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] are automatically converted to the same format used by {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and therefore cannot enter Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, even if it is a species/form found in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Let's Go Pokédex]].

====Compatibility with Generation VIII====
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way transfer to and from all [[Generation VIII]] games, beginning with {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] that are compatible with Sword and Shield can be transferred to and from Sword and Shield freely, and retain their movesets, including all past-generation exclusive moves regardless of whether they are usable or [[List of moves by availability (Generation VIII)|unusable in Sword and Shield]].

As of version 2.0.0, HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. Transfer to and from these games is subject to the following quirks:
* Movesets cannot be transferred to or from these sets of games. When a Pokémon first enters or leaves one of these sets of games, its moveset will change to its four most recent level-up moves in the destination game. HOME tracks 3 separate movesets (including [[PP Up]]s/[[PP Max]]es) for each individual Pokémon; this persists across different save files and HOME accounts. (A Pokémon from Bank, GO, or Let's Go, Pikachu!/Let's Go, Eevee! has its current moveset treated as its [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword/Shield]] moveset.)
** For example, if a Pokémon is transferred from Sword/Shield to Legends: Arceus and learns a [[Move Tutor]] move there, it will regain that move whenever it is transferred out of and back into Legends: Arceus.
* Pokémon originally from {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} will appear in a [[Strange Ball]] if transferred into Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, while Pokémon originally from outside of Legends: Arceus will appear in a Strange Ball if transferred into Legends: Arceus. Their original ball will reappear if transferred back into/out of Legends: Arceus.
** [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] do not recognize the Strange Ball, causing Pokémon originally from Legends: Arceus to appear in a standard {{i|Poké Ball}}. Sword and Shield also do not recognize future [[origin mark]]s, and will display the Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl and Legends: Arceus marks as the Galar symbol instead. (The original origin mark is displayed everywhere else.)

====Compatibility with Generation IX====
Pokémon HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokemon Scarlet and Violet]] on May 30, 2023 as part of Version 3.0.0.

On May 18, 2023, [[The Pokémon Company International]] announced that Pokémon HOME support with the games would release on May 24, 2023 at 01:00 UTC, but on May 19, the company announced it was a mistake and said that the actual release date was yet to be announced. No such announcement was made in Japanese by [[The Pokémon Company]], and unlike the later date, the earlier date did not appear in a notice inside the HOME app itself.

In an apparent translation error, the Spanish version of the notice stated that staggered logins would take place from May 30, 2023 06:00 UTC to May 25, 2023 06:00 UTC, instead of the latter date being May 31, 2023 06:00 UTC.<ref>https://twitter.com/MelkorPxP/status/1661886523539697664</ref>

====Compatibility with Pokémon GO====
{{main|GO Transporter}}
One-way transfers from [[Pokémon GO]] to HOME were made available on November 11, 2020.<ref group="note" name="releasego">Due to time zone differences, GO Transporter was released on November 10, 2020 in the Americas.</ref> Upon the first transfer, the player will also receive a {{p|Melmetal}} that can [[Gigantamax]] in Pokémon HOME.

Transfers from Pokémon GO are subject to their own different set of limitations, modifications, and microtransactions.

====Limitations====
* The Totem-sized Pokémon that can be in [[Pokémon Bank]] are reduced to their normal sizes when transferred to Pokémon HOME.
* Pokémon that cannot be [[trade]]d in-game also cannot be deposited, including the {{ga|partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}}, and the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{p|Calyrex}}.
* Like in Pokémon Bank, [[held item]]s cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME; depositing a Pokémon holding an item into HOME causes that item to be returned to the [[Bag]] in the game the Pokémon was deposited from.
* From v2.0.0 onward:
** [[Gigantamax]] Factor {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Meowth}} cannot be transferred to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} or {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. This is to prevent them from [[evolution|evolving]] in games that do not recognize the Gigantamax Factor.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SerebiiNet/status/1526900020011745282?s=20&t=EjiW0CDu0avbVjizmVLcmA @SerebiiNet]</ref>
** {{p|Nincada}} [[Game of origin|originally from]] Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], and Nincada from outside of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into those games.
*** This is likely a redundant protection against several cloning glitches due to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's "PokeDupeChecker" having cases to exclude natural clones such as Ninjask/Shedinja, and Pokémon originating from other games from being flagged and subsequently restricted from trades, HOME, and the [[Pokémon Nursery]].<ref>https://twitter.com/Kaphotics/status/1495965127031816192</ref>
** {{p|Spinda}} cannot be transferred between Pokémon HOME and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. This is likely due to a [[List of glitches (Generation VIII)#Spinda spot pattern glitch|bug]] in the latter game where the bytes of Spinda's [[encryption constant]] are mistakenly read in reverse order, which would cause Spinda's spot pattern to change on transfer if transfers were possible.
** In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Pokémon that can only be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]] once per save file (such as {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}) can only be (newly) deposited once per save file. This is in order to mitigate the Dialga/Palkia rematch glitch.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuVzL1Wf6-I</ref>
*** This check is based on save file rather than [[OT]]. For example, if two players playing Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl both catch a {{p|Regigigas}}, then one player [[trade]]s their Regigigas to the other, then that player attempts to deposit both Regigigas into HOME, HOME will block the second deposit. This can be worked around if one player deposits and withdraws their own Regigigas from HOME first before trading to the other player, since then that player is no longer attempting to ''newly'' deposit twice (one of the Regigigas has been in HOME before).
**** This cannot be circumvented with multiple HOME accounts, as it will recognize the savefile regardless.
*** As a result, it is possible to run into this restriction even with official event Pokémon - if the player receives {{DL|List of serial code event Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)|Ten'i Village Regigigas}} in Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, then it cannot be deposited if the [[Snowpoint Temple]] Regigigas is deposited, and vice versa, unless the player can trade one of the Regigigas to another game without going through HOME.

===Pokémon storage===
On the free Basic Plan, up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited in one box named the "Basic Box". The Basic Box cannot be manually organized and will always sort Pokémon from most to least recently deposited/traded for (with most recent at the top left). (Ties are broken by Pokédex order.)<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/orange-islands-sqsa-thread.3603112/page-63#post-9241707</ref>

On the Premium Plan, up to 6,000 Pokémon can be deposited in 200 boxes named "HOME 1" through "HOME 200", which can be freely organized as with core series PC boxes. When a Basic Plan is upgraded, all Pokémon in the Basic Box appear in HOME 1; however, the reverse is not true. When a Premium Plan ends, only the 30 Pokémon most recently deposited/traded for 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.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039615831-If-I-deposit-31-or-more-Pok%C3%A9mon-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-and-my-Premium-Plan-expires-what-will-happen-to-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref>

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.

The [[stats judge]] function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.

Pokémon do not display specific met locations while in the Nintendo Switch version of HOME, instead only displaying the region corresponding to their [[game of origin]]. As of v2.0.0, the mobile version will display both a region and a location name within that region, but for Pokémon transferred from the Virtual Console games through Poké Transporter, the latter will simply be a second copy of the region name, and for Pokémon transferred from [[Generation III]] or {{gen|IV}}, the latter location will be displayed as "Poké Shifter" (the transliterated Japanese name for [[Poké Transfer]]).

====Game-specific data and HOME tracker value====
Depositing any Pokémon into HOME for the first time will assign it a HOME tracker value, a 64-bit number unique to it that is used to detect [[Pokémon cloning|clones]] and other [[Cheating|hacked]] Pokémon. (For example, a Pokémon hacked to have a random tracker value can be detected as HOME will not remember having assigned this value in the past.) This tracker value is stored with the Pokémon and stays the same even if (e.g.) the Pokémon is withdrawn and traded offline to another player.

As of v2.0.0, the tracker value is also used to keep track of data that is not transferred between games and must be stored server-side, such as:
* A Pokémon's four movesets (between {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}, and {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}})
* Met location and egg hatch location (since none of the four sets of games share [[List of locations by index number (Generation VIII)|location index numbers]])
* [[Gigantamax]] Factor, [[TR|Technical Record]] flags, {{DL|Pokémon Camp|Sociability}}, [[effort level]]s, {{pkmn2|Alpha}} flag, [[Zisu]]'s [[Training grounds#Move Tutor|Move Tutor moves and Move Mastery]] flags, and [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera type]].
* From v3.0.0 onwards, [[ability]].
For example, the Alpha Pokemon flag is not stored anywhere in the Pokémon data of Sword/Shield or Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl. If a Pokémon from Pokémon Legends: Arceus is transferred to one of these games and back, it must keep its Alpha flag. This is done by HOME associating that flag with that Pokémon's HOME tracker value. (The tracker value is also used for the once-per-save-file restriction on newly depositing certain {{pkmn2|Legendary}}/{{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. A Pokémon is being newly deposited if it does not have a HOME tracker value.)

Effectively, HOME as of v2.0.0 keeps track of four sets of incompatible data for each Pokémon; however, only one set of data will be displayed when a Pokémon's [[summary]] is viewed in HOME. For example, the Legends: Arceus set of data will display significantly different [[stat]]s and no [[Ability]] compared to the other two sets of data (even though the Ability is internally remembered by Legends: Arceus and is not game-specific data). On the Nintendo Switch version, only the Sword/Shield set of data will be displayed for all Pokémon unless the application is currently connected to Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus. The type of [[Poké Ball]] shown will change depending on which set of data is being displayed, though the [[origin mark]] will always be correct. On the mobile version, the set of data displayed for a Pokémon is picked depending on the last game it was previously in (or Sword/Shield by default if that Pokémon has never been in a [[Generation VIII]] game). The type of Poké Ball shown will always be correct.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372709736596-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-Sheen-or-condition-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372695365652-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-effort-levels-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526950194373226497</ref>

If HOME attempts to display (for example) the Sword/Shield set of data for a Pokémon incompatible with Sword/Shield, the results vary depending on version. On the mobile version of HOME, this can only happen if a Pokémon incompatible with Sword/Shield is transferred from Bank or GO, and the app will display the stats and moveset as they last were in Bank (or as determined by [[GO Transporter]]). On the Nintendo Switch version before v2.0.0, the application behaved identically to the mobile version. On the Nintendo Switch version from v2.0.0 onward, the app will not display any stats or moves for incompatible Pokémon.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6425814626580-Why-can-t-I-see-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-s-moves-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526917289500585984</ref>

From v3.0.0 onwards abilities are also stored in game specific data. Any changes to a Pokémon's ability using the [[Ability Capsule]] or [[Ability Patch]] in one game will not affect its ability in other games it already has game data for. If it has no game data for a given game and enters that game for the first time, the Pokémon will be assigned the ability it currently has in Scarlet/Violet data if any, else its Sword/Shield data{{tt|*|includes Bank, Let's GO and GO}}, else its Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl data, else the internally remembered Ability from Legends: Arceus.

===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 Trade]]s and [[Surprise Trade]]s, 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.
* '''[[Global Trade System|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. There is a limit of 10 trades per day, regardless of whether the Basic Plan or Premium Plan is being used.

At least some [[event Pokémon]] appear to be impossible to trade for about a week to a few weeks after their initial release. This restriction applies separately to even different language versions of the same event Pokémon if they are released at different times.<ref>https://reddit.com/r/PokemonHome/comments/k0iagj/is_zarude_trade_locked_again/</ref><ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/a-fools-errand-completing-pokemon-home-without-paying-a-penny-complete.3673315/page-3</ref>

===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]], {{gen|VII}}, and {{gen|VIII}} core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Entries from {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} can only be viewed when HOME is connected to a Legends: Arceus save file that has the entry for that Pokémon completed to research level 10, if that Pokémon has been registered in HOME's Pokédex. However, the HOME Pokédex will register a Pokémon deposited from Legends: Arceus as caught and unlock any other game's Pokédex entries, if any, even if the research level in Legends: Arceus is not at level 10. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate [[list of Pokémon with form differences|form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered.

The mobile app version of Pokémon HOME also allows players to view the possible [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} a Pokémon can have.

Upon completing the National Pokédex up to {{p|Eternatus}}, an Original Color {{p|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.

====Registering Pokémon and alternate forms====
The Pokédex registers data for any Pokémon and form that is deposited into HOME.

If the Pokémon has a [[Mega Evolution]], a form that can only be used in battle (e.g. {{p|Cherrim}}'s {{form|Cherrim|Sunshine Form}}), or a form that requires a held item (e.g. {{p|Silvally}}'s {{form|Silvally|alternate forms}}), the data for these forms is registered when any form of the Pokémon is deposited (this also applies to {{form|Creation trio|Dialga, Palkia, Giratina}}, and {{form|Arceus}}, despite these Pokémon not requiring a held item or battle to change forms in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], as they revert to their standard forms upon being deposited into HOME).

If a Pokémon has a form that requires combining two Pokémon (i.e. {{form|Kyurem}}, {{form|Necrozma}}, or {{form|Calryex}}), the entry for that form is registered when both Pokémon that make up that form are registered. Registering Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma will also register Ultra Necrozma.

Forms that cannot be seen by HOME do not appear in the Pokédex as alternate forms, including [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], [[Cosplay Pikachu]], and all [[Totem Pokémon|Totem-sized Pokémon]]. (Spiky-eared Pichu and Cosplay Pikachu cannot appear in any game or app that can connect to HOME, while Totem-sized Pokémon all appear as regular-sized Pokémon from HOME's perspective.)

If a Pokémon with a gender difference is deposited, both genders are registered except in the case of [[Shiny Pokémon]] (see below).

Registering a Pokémon's [[Gigantamax]] form requires depositing the Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor.

Depositing a [[Shiny Pokémon]] will register both the Shiny and regular entries for that species and form. Unlike non-Shiny Pokémon on the mobile version, depositing a Shiny Pokémon with a gender difference will only register the Shiny entry for that gender.

Depositing any [[Foreign Pokédex entries|foreign language]] version of a Pokémon will unlock that language's Pokédex entry for all forms of that species that have been registered.

Additionally, when any Pokémon are transferred from Bank to HOME, all Pokédex data in Bank will be added to the Pokédex in HOME.

====Regional Pokédexes====
As of the v2.0.0 update, the mobile version of HOME now also keeps track of regional Pokédexes for Pokémon originating from the following games, along with the number of species required to complete each Pokédex:
* [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]
** [[Pdex|Paldea Pokédex]] (400)
* [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]
** [[LAdex|Hisui Pokédex]] (242)
* [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]
** [[Sdex|Sinnoh Pokédex]] (150)
* [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]
** [[Gdex|Galar Pokédex]] (400)
** [[IoAdex|Isle of Armor Pokédex]] (210)
** [[CTdex|Crown Tundra Pokédex]] (210)
* [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]
** [[Kdex|Kanto Pokédex]] (150)
* [[Pokémon GO]]
** Pokédex

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are included in the Hisui Pokédex, but excluded from the other Pokédexes. Completing an entry in one of these Pokédexes requires transferring into HOME a Pokémon with the [[origin mark]] of that specific game. Once one of these Pokédexes has been fully completed, except for that of Pokémon GO, a crown icon will appear next to the number of entries obtained for that Pokédex. (The 'regional' Pokédex for Pokémon originating from GO is just called "Pokédex".)

===Mystery Gifts===
{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)}}
{{main|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 code]]s for item distributions.

When first starting Pokémon HOME mobile, [[Grand Oak]] will give the user the choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}. Each of these Pokémon have their [[Abilities|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 {{OBP|Challenges|HOME}} to unlock stickers.

In the Nintendo Switch version, the player can complete {{OBP|Research Task|HOME}}s.

===Points===
Pokémon HOME Points serve as a currency of sorts, replacing [[Poké Mile]]s from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Every midnight UTC, the player gains a Pokémon HOME Point for every 31 stored Pokémon (rounded down). This calculation includes any inaccessible Pokémon the player may have in HOME as a result of a downgrade to the free plan. An account can accumulate a maximum of 99,999 Points at once.

Pokémon HOME Points can then be converted and transferred into [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]] games in the Nintendo Switch version:
* 30 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 [[Battle Point]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* 20 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 Battle Point in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 1 [[Merit Point]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 10 [[League Point]]s in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

===Move Reminder===
The 3.0.0 update added [[Move Reminder]] functionality in the Nintendo Switch version. The moves that can be learned through this feature are the standard [[level]] up moves for the game in use, as well as any moves in other game movesets{{tt|*|current moves and moves flagged as relearnable}} that are legal for the game in use. For example, a {{p|Tauros}} that knows {{m|Take Down}} in its [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] moveset can be taught Take Down in its [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] moveset using this feature, as Tauros can be taught Take Down in Scarlet and Violet via [[TM]]. However, a {{p|Moltres}} with {{m|Burn Up}} in its Pokémon Sword and Shield moveset cannot be taught Burn Up in its Pokémon Scarlet and Violet moveset, as Moltres cannot learn Burn Up in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet by any means.

This feature is the only way to access several previously [[Egg_Move#Unobtainable_Egg_Moves|unobtainable Egg Moves]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

===Other===
Players can customize their item called a binder in My Room using stickers obtained by completing [[Challenges (HOME)|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.

==Bugs and errors==
*The [[regional Pokédex]] for [[Pokémon GO]] that was added to the mobile version in v2.0.0 contains every Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] except for [[Mythical Pokémon]], which includes Pokémon that have not been released in Pokémon GO, as well as {{p|Spinda}} which cannot be transferred from that game, thus making it impossible to complete this Pokédex.
*In the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] in the mobile version, since the ability to request and search for Pokémon with specific forms and [[Language of origin|languages of origin]] was added, selecting to exclude requests for Pokémon the user does not have does not exclude requests for forms or languages that the user does not have as long as they have at least one of the Pokémon in any form or language.
*Due to a bug with how HOME handles punctuation, {{P|Farfetch'd}} and {{P|Sirfetch'd}} without [[nickname]]s transferred from Pokémon Bank or Pokémon GO will act as though they have nicknames, and cannot be re-nicknamed after being moved into a game. This is due to HOME assigning the incorrect apostrophe, the species name being "Farfetch’d" or "Sirfetch’d" and the nickname being assigned as "Farfetch'd" or "Sirfetch'd" instead.
*If a Sandy Cloak or Trash Cloak {{p|Burmy}} in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] or [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Mothim}} and is then deposited into HOME, it will not count towards the Sinnoh or Hisui regional Pokédexes (but will still count towards the National Pokédex).<ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1527278158872924160</ref>
*In the mobile version, although {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} are counted as "special Pokémon" for the purpose of the GTS's filters, they are included in the list of the most popular Pokémon requests that excludes special Pokémon.
*In the mobile version's [[National Pokédex]], the total number of Pokémon shown at the top of the page always includes all [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], even if the user has not selected to show all forms.

===Fixed===
*For approximately the first eight hours of release (February 12, 2020 between 01:00 UTC and 09:00 UTC), any [[Hyper Training]] performed in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon]] was lost upon transferring from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Details on how to restore it were announced in the app and on the official support websites.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-support.com/news/s/article/000002142 ''【Pokémon HOME】既知の不具合について - ポケットモンスター (<nowiki>[Pokémon HOME]</nowiki> Known bugs)'' - pokemon-support.com] (Japanese) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref><ref>[https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/news/972 ''현재「Pokémon HOME」에서 확인된 이상 현상에 대하여 - 포켓몬 공식 사이트 (About the anomalies currently identified in "Pokémon HOME")'' - pokemonkorea.co.kr] (Korean) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref>
**Pokémon HOME went down for maintenance on February 25, 2020 between 01:30 and 11:30 UTC, during which any affected Pokémon stored in HOME at the time regained their Hyper Training.
*Initially, HOME would automatically delete any Pokémon with duplicate tracker values on the assumption that they were [[Cheating|hacked]] [[Pokémon cloning|clones]]; however, this behavior would cause one of a {{p|Ninjask}} and {{p|Shedinja}} pair to be deleted as the HOME tracker value was among the data copied to Shedinja.
**This was partially fixed sometime between February 25, 2020 and February 28, 2020 when HOME would instead disallow a Pokémon with a duplicate tracker value from being deposited.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1232391734279254018</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1233603766798209025</ref> It was fully fixed sometime around April 23, 2020, and depositing a Ninjask and Shedinja with duplicate tracker values will now cause HOME to reassign the Shedinja a new tracker value.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1253373524225470469</ref> The Shedinja will have its tracker reassigned the first time it is deposited into HOME, regardless of what its [[game of origin]] is, whether it previously had a HOME tracker value from visiting HOME as a Nincada, or whether it is deposited into HOME at the same time as the matching Ninjask.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-brilliant-diamond-and-shining-pearl-release-19th-nov-2021.3679043/post-9269516</ref>
*In the Nintendo Switch versions before v2.0.0, all {{p|Arceus}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|forms]] were considered {{type|Normal}} instead of their actual [[type]]s except for the {{type|Dragon}} and {{type|Fairy}} forms.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, when using the "All Forms" filter in the Pokédex, [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Pumpkaboo_and_Gourgeist|Average Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist]] did not appear with their three other forms and were not counted in the total number of forms displayed at the top of the page. Additionally, the Super Size forms replaced the Average Size forms as the default forms shown in the [[National Pokédex]], though viewing either Pokémon's Pokédex entry still displayed all four sizes. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, the user's boxes from the Nintendo Switch version would not be displayed on the label selection screen when selecting Pokémon for a trade. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version, after using the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or Wonder Box, the entries in the [[regional Pokédex]]es would be reset and would only have entries registered for Pokémon currently in HOME, lacking any entries registered for Pokémon that were not in HOME at the time the bug occurred. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 between May 18, 2022 06:00 UTC and May 27, 2022 01:00 UTC, some players would receive error code 10015 an unknown percentage of the time after depositing Pokémon and attempting to save changes, preventing Pokémon from being deposited. This was fixed in v2.0.1, and affected players who were on the Premium Plan at the time received 10 free days (including those whose subscriptions ended between receiving the error and the release of v2.0.1).<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6560421494932-Update-Info-for-the-Nintendo-Switch-Version-ver-2-0-1-</ref>
*In the mobile version only, [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black Kyurem]]'s Pokédex entries for [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] were the same as those of regular {{p|Kyurem}}, even though Black Kyurem has its own entries in the Switch version. This was fixed in v2.0.2.
*Starting in v2.0.0 in the Switch version only, Pokémon that were [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon GO]], or [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] but had not been moved to a compatible game in [[Generation VIII]] (or were not compatible with any games in that [[generation]]) would not have their [[base stats]], [[effort values]], [[individual values]], or [[move]]s shown, even if the player chose not to connect any game with HOME. This was fixed in v3.0.0.

==Trivia==
* All of the Pokémon appear in Pokémon HOME posed in the same position as their official art, with Pokémon from the [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} taking on their poses from their redesigned art from Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} respectively.
** Furthermore, [[Shiny Pokémon]] appear as Shiny, instead of their usual colorations, and [[gender differences]] are visible.
** On the Nintendo Switch version, only these static renders are visible. On the mobile version, full 3D models are visible.
*** As a result, for example, the location of {{p|Spinda}}'s spots are only visible on the mobile version, since Spinda uses the same static render regardless of its spots.
*** On the Nintendo Switch version, some of these renders were improved in version 1.2.<ref>https://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo_switch/pokemonhome/</ref>
* 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.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_HOME_(iOS,_Android) TCRF - Pokémon HOME (iOS / Android) unused content]</ref>
* The Switch version cannot be used while the mobile version is being used at the same time, and vice-versa.
* Prior to version 1.1, friend trades were restricted to local trades only. This restriction was lifted to celebrate the release of version 1.1, allowing players to trade with each other no matter how far away they are from each other. This was initially intended to be temporary; however, it appears to have been a permanent change, as over a year and several updates later it has not been reverted.
* Each HOME account generates its own [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and [[Trainer ID number#Secret ID|secret ID]], which is assigned to some Pokémon received from [[Mystery Gift]]s in HOME. To prevent these Pokémon with a [[personality value]] of <code>00000000</code> (hexadecimal) from being {{Shiny}}, rather than assigning a different personality value, HOME will never generate an account's ID numbers where the combination results in that personality value being calculated as Shiny.<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/issues/3007</ref>
* Prior to HOME's major v2.0.0 update, the servers went down for maintenance between 00:00 UTC and 06:00 UTC on May 18, 2022. Afterward, users were given staggered login times for 19 hours (until 01:00 UTC May 19, 2022) to reduce server load. However, newly created accounts after the maintenance were not staggered and could log in immediately.
* When a Pokémon needs to generate a new moveset (for example when being transferred from Sword/Shield to Legends: Arceus for the first time), the new moveset is not saved upon being generated. Instead, it is only saved once the transfer is complete. For example:
** The player has a level 4 {{p|Pikachu}} currently in HOME that was originally from Sword/Shield and that has never been in Legends: Arceus. The player connects HOME to Legends: Arceus, deposits Pikachu, and views its [[summary]]. Its only move will be {{m|Thunder Shock}}. The player then withdraws Pikachu back into HOME, saves their changes, disconnects from Legends: Arceus, transfers Pikachu into Sword/Shield, levels it up to level 5, then re-deposits it into HOME. Upon connecting to Legends: Arceus again, Pikachu's moveset will be generated a second time and it will have the new move {{m|Quick Attack}}.
** If the player instead deposits (level 4) Pikachu into Legends: Arceus, saves their changes, then withdraws Pikachu back into HOME, by the end the level 5 Pikachu will not know Quick Attack inside Legends: Arceus. This is because it has been in Legends: Arceus before, so its previous moveset will be remembered and a new moveset will not be generated.
* The following 27 Pokémon are the only species that cannot be transferred out of Pokémon HOME into any [[Generation VIII]] or [[Generation IX|IX]] game: {{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Servine}}, {{p|Serperior}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Pignite}}, {{p|Emboar}}, {{p|Patrat}}, {{p|Watchog}}, {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Simisear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, {{p|Simipour}}, {{p|Blitzle}}, {{p|Zebstrika}}, {{p|Sewaddle}}, {{p|Swadloon}}, {{p|Leavanny}}, {{p|Ducklett}}, {{p|Swanna}}, {{p|Furfrou}}, {{p|Pikipek}}, {{p|Trumbeak}}, {{p|Toucannon}}, and {{p|Minior}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1630244702661361665</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1648868867811180544</ref>
** Additionally, the following [[regional form]]s cannot be transferred out of HOME into any Generation VIII or IX game: {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Geodude}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Graveler}}, and {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Golem}}.
**Blitzle and Zebstrika have been announced to be added to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet with the release of [[The Indigo Disk]] DLC.
**{{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Minior}}, and {{p|Magearna}} are the only Pokémon that cannot currently be obtained in Pokémon HOME without transferring them from [[Pokémon Bank]].

[[File:Generation VII Ribbons concept art.png|thumb|300px|Concept art of the Alola Champion Ribbon and the Battle Tree Ribbons, introduced in Generation VII]]
The following is a '''list of [[Ribbon]]s that appear in the [[Pokémon games]]'''. There are 115 Ribbons total, with 32 originating from [[Generation III]], 48 from [[Generation IV]], nine from [[Generation V]], 16 from [[Generation VI]], four from [[Generation VII]], five from [[Generation VIII]] and two from [[Generation IX]].

In {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, any one of a Pokémon's Ribbons or [[marks]] can be attached to it, granting that Pokémon a corresponding [[title]] that is displayed whenever it is sent into battle.

==League Ribbons==
League Ribbons are obtained by entering the [[Hall of Fame]] in different [[region]]s, and are all retained if a Pokémon is transferred to a later generation. All Pokémon in the party will receive the Ribbon, even if some of them fainted or were never sent out in battle.

Among games in which Ribbons can be awarded, {{pkmn|HeartGold and SoulSilver}} are the only games where winning the Pokémon League does not award a Ribbon.

===Contest Spectacular and Super Contest Show Ribbons===
The Contest Spectacular Ribbons are obtained by winning Master Rank [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] in [[Generation VI]] or [[Super Contest Show]]s in [[Generation VIII]]. [[Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] added the Twinkling Star Ribbon as additional variation to these.

===Sinnoh/Johto Battle Tower Ribbons===
The Sinnoh/Johto Battle Tower Ribbons are obtained by conquering different modes of the {{si|Battle Tower}} in [[Generation IV]] {{pkmn|games}}. These Ribbons are retained if a Pokémon is transferred as far as [[Generation V]], but if a Pokémon with one of these Ribbons is transferred to [[Generation VI]], they will all be replaced by a [[#Battle Memory Ribbons|Battle Memory Ribbon]].

==Gift Ribbons==
The Gift Ribbons all originate from sources external to the [[core series]] Pokémon games. Two, the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|National Ribbon}} and the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Earth Ribbon}}, come from [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|Pokémon XD]], which have connectivity with the core Generation III games. Otherwise, the most common Gift Ribbons are distributed on [[event Pokémon]]. The {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Country}} and {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|World Ribbon|World Ribbons}} were given out to winners of Pokémon League tournaments that were held during [[Pokémon Festa]] in 2004, 2005 and 2007{{tt|*|Country Ribbon only}}. The {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Regional Champion Ribbon|Regional}}, {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|National Champion Ribbon|National}} and {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|World Champion Ribbon|World}} Champion Ribbons appear to have been intended to be given out in a similar way at corresponding VGC tournaments, however this did not occur. These Ribbons are retained if a Pokémon with them is transferred to a later generation.

'''Pokémon HOME''' (Japanese: '''Pokémon HOME''') is a cloud service for {{wp|iOS}}, {{wp|iPadOS}}, {{wp|Android (operating system)|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.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zone differences, the app was released on February 11, 2020 in the Americas, even though it was released at the same time as the rest of the world.</ref>

It was announced at the [[Pokémon Presents#May 29, 2019|Pokémon 2019 Press Conference]] on May 29, 2019.

Pokémon HOME is managed by Pokémon researcher [[Grand Oak]], whose goal is to create a [[Pokédex]] that includes every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}.

==Features==
===Pokémon transfer===
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way [[transfer]] to and from all Switch [[core series]] games. Both the mobile and Switch versions allow one-way transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] (only with a Premium Plan) and [[Pokémon GO]]. Support for [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] is planned for May 30, 2023.

====Compatibility with Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
Only Pokémon originally from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can be moved into (another copy of) Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and if such a Pokémon is transferred into a future game, it can no longer be moved back to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!. Pokémon can only be transferred into a Generation VIII game if it is present in the coding of the target game.

Pokémon that arrive in HOME via transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] are automatically converted to the same format used by {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and therefore cannot enter Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, even if it is a species/form found in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Let's Go Pokédex]].

====Compatibility with Generation VIII====
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way transfer to and from all [[Generation VIII]] games, beginning with {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] that are compatible with Sword and Shield can be transferred to and from Sword and Shield freely, and retain their movesets, including all past-generation exclusive moves regardless of whether they are usable or [[List of moves by availability (Generation VIII)|unusable in Sword and Shield]].

As of version 2.0.0, HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. Transfer to and from these games is subject to the following quirks:
* Movesets cannot be transferred to or from these sets of games. When a Pokémon first enters or leaves one of these sets of games, its moveset will change to its four most recent level-up moves in the destination game. HOME tracks 3 separate movesets (including [[PP Up]]s/[[PP Max]]es) for each individual Pokémon; this persists across different save files and HOME accounts. (A Pokémon from Bank, GO, or Let's Go, Pikachu!/Let's Go, Eevee! has its current moveset treated as its [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword/Shield]] moveset.)
** For example, if a Pokémon is transferred from Sword/Shield to Legends: Arceus and learns a [[Move Tutor]] move there, it will regain that move whenever it is transferred out of and back into Legends: Arceus.
* Pokémon originally from {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} will appear in a [[Strange Ball]] if transferred into Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, while Pokémon originally from outside of Legends: Arceus will appear in a Strange Ball if transferred into Legends: Arceus. Their original ball will reappear if transferred back into/out of Legends: Arceus.
** [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] do not recognize the Strange Ball, causing Pokémon originally from Legends: Arceus to appear in a standard {{i|Poké Ball}}. Sword and Shield also do not recognize future [[origin mark]]s, and will display the Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl and Legends: Arceus marks as the Galar symbol instead. (The original origin mark is displayed everywhere else.)

====Compatibility with Generation IX====
Pokémon HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokemon Scarlet and Violet]] on May 30, 2023 as part of Version 3.0.0.

On May 18, 2023, [[The Pokémon Company International]] announced that Pokémon HOME support with the games would release on May 24, 2023 at 01:00 UTC, but on May 19, the company announced it was a mistake and said that the actual release date was yet to be announced. No such announcement was made in Japanese by [[The Pokémon Company]], and unlike the later date, the earlier date did not appear in a notice inside the HOME app itself.

In an apparent translation error, the Spanish version of the notice stated that staggered logins would take place from May 30, 2023 06:00 UTC to May 25, 2023 06:00 UTC, instead of the latter date being May 31, 2023 06:00 UTC.<ref>https://twitter.com/MelkorPxP/status/1661886523539697664</ref>

====Compatibility with Pokémon GO====
{{main|GO Transporter}}
One-way transfers from [[Pokémon GO]] to HOME were made available on November 11, 2020.<ref group="note" name="releasego">Due to time zone differences, GO Transporter was released on November 10, 2020 in the Americas.</ref> Upon the first transfer, the player will also receive a {{p|Melmetal}} that can [[Gigantamax]] in Pokémon HOME.

Transfers from Pokémon GO are subject to their own different set of limitations, modifications, and microtransactions.

====Limitations====
* The Totem-sized Pokémon that can be in [[Pokémon Bank]] are reduced to their normal sizes when transferred to Pokémon HOME.
* Pokémon that cannot be [[trade]]d in-game also cannot be deposited, including the {{ga|partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}}, and the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{p|Calyrex}}.
* Like in Pokémon Bank, [[held item]]s cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME; depositing a Pokémon holding an item into HOME causes that item to be returned to the [[Bag]] in the game the Pokémon was deposited from.
* From v2.0.0 onward:
** [[Gigantamax]] Factor {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Meowth}} cannot be transferred to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} or {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. This is to prevent them from [[evolution|evolving]] in games that do not recognize the Gigantamax Factor.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SerebiiNet/status/1526900020011745282?s=20&t=EjiW0CDu0avbVjizmVLcmA @SerebiiNet]</ref>
** {{p|Nincada}} [[Game of origin|originally from]] Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], and Nincada from outside of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into those games.
*** This is likely a redundant protection against several cloning glitches due to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's "PokeDupeChecker" having cases to exclude natural clones such as Ninjask/Shedinja, and Pokémon originating from other games from being flagged and subsequently restricted from trades, HOME, and the [[Pokémon Nursery]].<ref>https://twitter.com/Kaphotics/status/1495965127031816192</ref>
** {{p|Spinda}} cannot be transferred between Pokémon HOME and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. This is likely due to a [[List of glitches (Generation VIII)#Spinda spot pattern glitch|bug]] in the latter game where the bytes of Spinda's [[encryption constant]] are mistakenly read in reverse order, which would cause Spinda's spot pattern to change on transfer if transfers were possible.
** In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Pokémon that can only be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]] once per save file (such as {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}) can only be (newly) deposited once per save file. This is in order to mitigate the Dialga/Palkia rematch glitch.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuVzL1Wf6-I</ref>
*** This check is based on save file rather than [[OT]]. For example, if two players playing Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl both catch a {{p|Regigigas}}, then one player [[trade]]s their Regigigas to the other, then that player attempts to deposit both Regigigas into HOME, HOME will block the second deposit. This can be worked around if one player deposits and withdraws their own Regigigas from HOME first before trading to the other player, since then that player is no longer attempting to ''newly'' deposit twice (one of the Regigigas has been in HOME before).
**** This cannot be circumvented with multiple HOME accounts, as it will recognize the savefile regardless.
*** As a result, it is possible to run into this restriction even with official event Pokémon - if the player receives {{DL|List of serial code event Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)|Ten'i Village Regigigas}} in Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, then it cannot be deposited if the [[Snowpoint Temple]] Regigigas is deposited, and vice versa, unless the player can trade one of the Regigigas to another game without going through HOME.

===Pokémon storage===
On the free Basic Plan, up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited in one box named the "Basic Box". The Basic Box cannot be manually organized and will always sort Pokémon from most to least recently deposited/traded for (with most recent at the top left). (Ties are broken by Pokédex order.)<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/orange-islands-sqsa-thread.3603112/page-63#post-9241707</ref>

On the Premium Plan, up to 6,000 Pokémon can be deposited in 200 boxes named "HOME 1" through "HOME 200", which can be freely organized as with core series PC boxes. When a Basic Plan is upgraded, all Pokémon in the Basic Box appear in HOME 1; however, the reverse is not true. When a Premium Plan ends, only the 30 Pokémon most recently deposited/traded for 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.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039615831-If-I-deposit-31-or-more-Pok%C3%A9mon-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-and-my-Premium-Plan-expires-what-will-happen-to-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref>

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.

The [[stats judge]] function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.

Pokémon do not display specific met locations while in the Nintendo Switch version of HOME, instead only displaying the region corresponding to their [[game of origin]]. As of v2.0.0, the mobile version will display both a region and a location name within that region, but for Pokémon transferred from the Virtual Console games through Poké Transporter, the latter will simply be a second copy of the region name, and for Pokémon transferred from [[Generation III]] or {{gen|IV}}, the latter location will be displayed as "Poké Shifter" (the transliterated Japanese name for [[Poké Transfer]]).

====Game-specific data and HOME tracker value====
Depositing any Pokémon into HOME for the first time will assign it a HOME tracker value, a 64-bit number unique to it that is used to detect [[Pokémon cloning|clones]] and other [[Cheating|hacked]] Pokémon. (For example, a Pokémon hacked to have a random tracker value can be detected as HOME will not remember having assigned this value in the past.) This tracker value is stored with the Pokémon and stays the same even if (e.g.) the Pokémon is withdrawn and traded offline to another player.

As of v2.0.0, the tracker value is also used to keep track of data that is not transferred between games and must be stored server-side, such as:
* A Pokémon's four movesets (between {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}, and {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}})
* Met location and egg hatch location (since none of the four sets of games share [[List of locations by index number (Generation VIII)|location index numbers]])
* [[Gigantamax]] Factor, [[TR|Technical Record]] flags, {{DL|Pokémon Camp|Sociability}}, [[effort level]]s, {{pkmn2|Alpha}} flag, [[Zisu]]'s [[Training grounds#Move Tutor|Move Tutor moves and Move Mastery]] flags, and [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera type]].
* From v3.0.0 onwards, [[ability]].
For example, the Alpha Pokemon flag is not stored anywhere in the Pokémon data of Sword/Shield or Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl. If a Pokémon from Pokémon Legends: Arceus is transferred to one of these games and back, it must keep its Alpha flag. This is done by HOME associating that flag with that Pokémon's HOME tracker value. (The tracker value is also used for the once-per-save-file restriction on newly depositing certain {{pkmn2|Legendary}}/{{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. A Pokémon is being newly deposited if it does not have a HOME tracker value.)

Effectively, HOME as of v2.0.0 keeps track of four sets of incompatible data for each Pokémon; however, only one set of data will be displayed when a Pokémon's [[summary]] is viewed in HOME. For example, the Legends: Arceus set of data will display significantly different [[stat]]s and no [[Ability]] compared to the other two sets of data (even though the Ability is internally remembered by Legends: Arceus and is not game-specific data). On the Nintendo Switch version, only the Sword/Shield set of data will be displayed for all Pokémon unless the application is currently connected to Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus. The type of [[Poké Ball]] shown will change depending on which set of data is being displayed, though the [[origin mark]] will always be correct. On the mobile version, the set of data displayed for a Pokémon is picked depending on the last game it was previously in (or Sword/Shield by default if that Pokémon has never been in a [[Generation VIII]] game). The type of Poké Ball shown will always be correct.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372709736596-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-Sheen-or-condition-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372695365652-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-effort-levels-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526950194373226497</ref>

If HOME attempts to display (for example) the Sword/Shield set of data for a Pokémon incompatible with Sword/Shield, the results vary depending on version. On the mobile version of HOME, this can only happen if a Pokémon incompatible with Sword/Shield is transferred from Bank or GO, and the app will display the stats and moveset as they last were in Bank (or as determined by [[GO Transporter]]). On the Nintendo Switch version before v2.0.0, the application behaved identically to the mobile version. On the Nintendo Switch version from v2.0.0 onward, the app will not display any stats or moves for incompatible Pokémon.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6425814626580-Why-can-t-I-see-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-s-moves-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526917289500585984</ref>

From v3.0.0 onwards abilities are also stored in game specific data. Any changes to a Pokémon's ability using the [[Ability Capsule]] or [[Ability Patch]] in one game will not affect its ability in other games it already has game data for. If it has no game data for a given game and enters that game for the first time, the Pokémon will be assigned the ability it currently has in Scarlet/Violet data if any, else its Sword/Shield data, else its Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl data.

===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 Trade]]s and [[Surprise Trade]]s, 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.
* '''[[Global Trade System|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. There is a limit of 10 trades per day, regardless of whether the Basic Plan or Premium Plan is being used.

At least some [[event Pokémon]] appear to be impossible to trade for about a week to a few weeks after their initial release. This restriction applies separately to even different language versions of the same event Pokémon if they are released at different times.<ref>https://reddit.com/r/PokemonHome/comments/k0iagj/is_zarude_trade_locked_again/</ref><ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/a-fools-errand-completing-pokemon-home-without-paying-a-penny-complete.3673315/page-3</ref>

===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]], {{gen|VII}}, and {{gen|VIII}} core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Entries from {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} can only be viewed when HOME is connected to a Legends: Arceus save file that has the entry for that Pokémon completed to research level 10, if that Pokémon has been registered in HOME's Pokédex. However, the HOME Pokédex will register a Pokémon deposited from Legends: Arceus as caught and unlock any other game's Pokédex entries, if any, even if the research level in Legends: Arceus is not at level 10. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate [[list of Pokémon with form differences|form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered.

The mobile app version of Pokémon HOME also allows players to view the possible [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} a Pokémon can have.

Upon completing the National Pokédex up to {{p|Eternatus}}, an Original Color {{p|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.

====Registering Pokémon and alternate forms====
The Pokédex registers data for any Pokémon and form that is deposited into HOME.

If the Pokémon has a [[Mega Evolution]], a form that can only be used in battle (e.g. {{p|Cherrim}}'s {{form|Cherrim|Sunshine Form}}), or a form that requires a held item (e.g. {{p|Silvally}}'s {{form|Silvally|alternate forms}}), the data for these forms is registered when any form of the Pokémon is deposited (this also applies to {{form|Creation trio|Dialga, Palkia, Giratina}}, and {{form|Arceus}}, despite these Pokémon not requiring a held item or battle to change forms in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], as they revert to their standard forms upon being deposited into HOME).

If a Pokémon has a form that requires combining two Pokémon (i.e. {{form|Kyurem}}, {{form|Necrozma}}, or {{form|Calryex}}), the entry for that form is registered when both Pokémon that make up that form are registered. Registering Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma will also register Ultra Necrozma.

Forms that cannot be seen by HOME do not appear in the Pokédex as alternate forms, including [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], [[Cosplay Pikachu]], and all [[Totem Pokémon|Totem-sized Pokémon]]. (Spiky-eared Pichu and Cosplay Pikachu cannot appear in any game or app that can connect to HOME, while Totem-sized Pokémon all appear as regular-sized Pokémon from HOME's perspective.)

If a Pokémon with a gender difference is deposited, both genders are registered except in the case of [[Shiny Pokémon]] (see below).

Registering a Pokémon's [[Gigantamax]] form requires depositing the Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor.

Depositing a [[Shiny Pokémon]] will register both the Shiny and regular entries for that species and form. Unlike non-Shiny Pokémon on the mobile version, depositing a Shiny Pokémon with a gender difference will only register the Shiny entry for that gender.

Depositing any [[Foreign Pokédex entries|foreign language]] version of a Pokémon will unlock that language's Pokédex entry for all forms of that species that have been registered.

Additionally, when any Pokémon are transferred from Bank to HOME, all Pokédex data in Bank will be added to the Pokédex in HOME.

====Regional Pokédexes====
As of the v2.0.0 update, the mobile version of HOME now also keeps track of regional Pokédexes for Pokémon originating from the following games, along with the number of species required to complete each Pokédex:
* [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]
** [[Pdex|Paldea Pokédex]] (400)
* [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]
** [[LAdex|Hisui Pokédex]] (242)
* [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]
** [[Sdex|Sinnoh Pokédex]] (150)
* [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]
** [[Gdex|Galar Pokédex]] (400)
** [[IoAdex|Isle of Armor Pokédex]] (210)
** [[CTdex|Crown Tundra Pokédex]] (210)
* [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]
** [[Kdex|Kanto Pokédex]] (150)
* [[Pokémon GO]]
** Pokédex

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are included in the Hisui Pokédex, but excluded from the other Pokédexes. Completing an entry in one of these Pokédexes requires transferring into HOME a Pokémon with the [[origin mark]] of that specific game. Once one of these Pokédexes has been fully completed, except for that of Pokémon GO, a crown icon will appear next to the number of entries obtained for that Pokédex. (The 'regional' Pokédex for Pokémon originating from GO is just called "Pokédex".)

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 code]]s for item distributions.

When first starting Pokémon HOME mobile, [[Grand Oak]] will give the user the choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}. Each of these Pokémon have their [[Abilities|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 {{OBP|Challenges|HOME}} to unlock stickers.

In the Nintendo Switch version, the player can complete {{OBP|Research Task|HOME}}s.

===Points===
Pokémon HOME Points serve as a currency of sorts, replacing [[Poké Mile]]s from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Every midnight UTC, the player gains a Pokémon HOME Point for every 31 stored Pokémon (rounded down). This calculation includes any inaccessible Pokémon the player may have in HOME as a result of a downgrade to the free plan. An account can accumulate a maximum of 99,999 Points at once.

Pokémon HOME Points can then be converted and transferred into [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]] games in the Nintendo Switch version:
* 30 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 [[Battle Point]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* 20 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 Battle Point in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 1 [[Merit Point]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 10 [[League Point]]s in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

===Move Reminder===
The 3.0.0 update added [[Move Reminder]] functionality in the Nintendo Switch version. The moves that can be learned through this feature are the standard [[level]] up moves for the game in use, as well as any moves in other game movesets{{tt|*|current moves and moves flagged as relearnable}} that are legal for the game in use. For example, a {{p|Tauros}} that knows {{m|Take Down}} in its [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] moveset can be taught Take Down in its [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] moveset using this feature, as Tauros can be taught Take Down in Scarlet and Violet via [[TM]]. However, a {{p|Moltres}} with {{m|Burn Up}} in its Pokémon Sword and Shield moveset cannot be taught Burn Up in its Pokémon Scarlet and Violet moveset, as Moltres cannot learn Burn Up in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet by any means.

This feature is the only way to access several previously [[Egg_Move#Unobtainable_Egg_Moves|unobtainable Egg Moves]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

===Other===
Players can customize their item called a binder in My Room using stickers obtained by completing [[Challenges (HOME)|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.

==Bugs and errors==
*The [[regional Pokédex]] for [[Pokémon GO]] that was added to the mobile version in v2.0.0 contains every Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] except for [[Mythical Pokémon]], which includes Pokémon that have not been released in Pokémon GO, as well as {{p|Spinda}} which cannot be transferred from that game, thus making it impossible to complete this Pokédex.
*In the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] in the mobile version, since the ability to request and search for Pokémon with specific forms and [[Language of origin|languages of origin]] was added, selecting to exclude requests for Pokémon the user does not have does not exclude requests for forms or languages that the user does not have as long as they have at least one of the Pokémon in any form or language.
*Due to a bug with how HOME handles punctuation, {{P|Farfetch'd}} and {{P|Sirfetch'd}} without [[nickname]]s transferred from Pokémon Bank or Pokémon GO will act as though they have nicknames, and cannot be re-nicknamed after being moved into a game. This is due to HOME assigning the incorrect apostrophe, the species name being "Farfetch’d" or "Sirfetch’d" and the nickname being assigned as "Farfetch'd" or "Sirfetch'd" instead.
*If a Sandy Cloak or Trash Cloak {{p|Burmy}} in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] or [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Mothim}} and is then deposited into HOME, it will not count towards the Sinnoh or Hisui regional Pokédexes (but will still count towards the National Pokédex).<ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1527278158872924160</ref>
*In the mobile version, although {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} are counted as "special Pokémon" for the purpose of the GTS's filters, they are included in the list of the most popular Pokémon requests that excludes special Pokémon.
*In the mobile version's [[National Pokédex]], the total number of Pokémon shown at the top of the page always includes all [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], even if the user has not selected to show all forms.

===Fixed===
*For approximately the first eight hours of release (February 12, 2020 between 01:00 UTC and 09:00 UTC), any [[Hyper Training]] performed in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon]] was lost upon transferring from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Details on how to restore it were announced in the app and on the official support websites.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-support.com/news/s/article/000002142 ''【Pokémon HOME】既知の不具合について - ポケットモンスター (<nowiki>[Pokémon HOME]</nowiki> Known bugs)'' - pokemon-support.com] (Japanese) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref><ref>[https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/news/972 ''현재「Pokémon HOME」에서 확인된 이상 현상에 대하여 - 포켓몬 공식 사이트 (About the anomalies currently identified in "Pokémon HOME")'' - pokemonkorea.co.kr] (Korean) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref>
**Pokémon HOME went down for maintenance on February 25, 2020 between 01:30 and 11:30 UTC, during which any affected Pokémon stored in HOME at the time regained their Hyper Training.
*Initially, HOME would automatically delete any Pokémon with duplicate tracker values on the assumption that they were [[Cheating|hacked]] [[Pokémon cloning|clones]]; however, this behavior would cause one of a {{p|Ninjask}} and {{p|Shedinja}} pair to be deleted as the HOME tracker value was among the data copied to Shedinja.
**This was partially fixed sometime between February 25, 2020 and February 28, 2020 when HOME would instead disallow a Pokémon with a duplicate tracker value from being deposited.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1232391734279254018</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1233603766798209025</ref> It was fully fixed sometime around April 23, 2020, and depositing a Ninjask and Shedinja with duplicate tracker values will now cause HOME to reassign the Shedinja a new tracker value.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1253373524225470469</ref> The Shedinja will have its tracker reassigned the first time it is deposited into HOME, regardless of what its [[game of origin]] is, whether it previously had a HOME tracker value from visiting HOME as a Nincada, or whether it is deposited into HOME at the same time as the matching Ninjask.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-brilliant-diamond-and-shining-pearl-release-19th-nov-2021.3679043/post-9269516</ref>
*In the Nintendo Switch versions before v2.0.0, all {{p|Arceus}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|forms]] were considered {{type|Normal}} instead of their actual [[type]]s except for the {{type|Dragon}} and {{type|Fairy}} forms.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, when using the "All Forms" filter in the Pokédex, [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Pumpkaboo_and_Gourgeist|Average Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist]] did not appear with their three other forms and were not counted in the total number of forms displayed at the top of the page. Additionally, the Super Size forms replaced the Average Size forms as the default forms shown in the [[National Pokédex]], though viewing either Pokémon's Pokédex entry still displayed all four sizes. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, the user's boxes from the Nintendo Switch version would not be displayed on the label selection screen when selecting Pokémon for a trade. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version, after using the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or Wonder Box, the entries in the [[regional Pokédex]]es would be reset and would only have entries registered for Pokémon currently in HOME, lacking any entries registered for Pokémon that were not in HOME at the time the bug occurred. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 between May 18, 2022 06:00 UTC and May 27, 2022 01:00 UTC, some players would receive error code 10015 an unknown percentage of the time after depositing Pokémon and attempting to save changes, preventing Pokémon from being deposited. This was fixed in v2.0.1, and affected players who were on the Premium Plan at the time received 10 free days (including those whose subscriptions ended between receiving the error and the release of v2.0.1).<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6560421494932-Update-Info-for-the-Nintendo-Switch-Version-ver-2-0-1-</ref>
*In the mobile version only, [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black Kyurem]]'s Pokédex entries for [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] were the same as those of regular {{p|Kyurem}}, even though Black Kyurem has its own entries in the Switch version. This was fixed in v2.0.2.
*Starting in v2.0.0 in the Switch version only, Pokémon that were [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon GO]], or [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] but had not been moved to a compatible game in [[Generation VIII]] (or were not compatible with any games in that [[generation]]) would not have their [[base stats]], [[effort values]], [[individual values]], or [[move]]s shown, even if the player chose not to connect any game with HOME. This was fixed in v3.0.0.

==Trivia==
* All of the Pokémon appear in Pokémon HOME posed in the same position as their official art, with Pokémon from the [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} taking on their poses from their redesigned art from Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} respectively.
** Furthermore, [[Shiny Pokémon]] appear as Shiny, instead of their usual colorations, and [[gender differences]] are visible.
** On the Nintendo Switch version, only these static renders are visible. On the mobile version, full 3D models are visible.
*** As a result, for example, the location of {{p|Spinda}}'s spots are only visible on the mobile version, since Spinda uses the same static render regardless of its spots.
*** On the Nintendo Switch version, some of these renders were improved in version 1.2.<ref>https://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo_switch/pokemonhome/</ref>
* 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.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_HOME_(iOS,_Android) TCRF - Pokémon HOME (iOS / Android) unused content]</ref>
* The Switch version cannot be used while the mobile version is being used at the same time, and vice-versa.
* Prior to version 1.1, friend trades were restricted to local trades only. This restriction was lifted to celebrate the release of version 1.1, allowing players to trade with each other no matter how far away they are from each other. This was initially intended to be temporary; however, it appears to have been a permanent change, as over a year and several updates later it has not been reverted.
* Each HOME account generates its own [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and [[Trainer ID number#Secret ID|secret ID]], which is assigned to some Pokémon received from [[Mystery Gift]]s in HOME. To prevent these Pokémon with a [[personality value]] of <code>00000000</code> (hexadecimal) from being {{Shiny}}, rather than assigning a different personality value, HOME will never generate an account's ID numbers where the combination results in that personality value being calculated as Shiny.<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/issues/3007</ref>
* Prior to HOME's major v2.0.0 update, the servers went down for maintenance between 00:00 UTC and 06:00 UTC on May 18, 2022. Afterward, users were given staggered login times for 19 hours (until 01:00 UTC May 19, 2022) to reduce server load. However, newly created accounts after the maintenance were not staggered and could log in immediately.
* When a Pokémon needs to generate a new moveset (for example when being transferred from Sword/Shield to Legends: Arceus for the first time), the new moveset is not saved upon being generated. Instead, it is only saved once the transfer is complete. For example:
** The player has a level 4 {{p|Pikachu}} currently in HOME that was originally from Sword/Shield and that has never been in Legends: Arceus. The player connects HOME to Legends: Arceus, deposits Pikachu, and views its [[summary]]. Its only move will be {{m|Thunder Shock}}. The player then withdraws Pikachu back into HOME, saves their changes, disconnects from Legends: Arceus, transfers Pikachu into Sword/Shield, levels it up to level 5, then re-deposits it into HOME. Upon connecting to Legends: Arceus again, Pikachu's moveset will be generated a second time and it will have the new move {{m|Quick Attack}}.
** If the player instead deposits (level 4) Pikachu into Legends: Arceus, saves their changes, then withdraws Pikachu back into HOME, by the end the level 5 Pikachu will not know Quick Attack inside Legends: Arceus. This is because it has been in Legends: Arceus before, so its previous moveset will be remembered and a new moveset will not be generated.
* The following 27 Pokémon are the only species that cannot be transferred out of Pokémon HOME into any [[Generation VIII]] or [[Generation IX|IX]] game: {{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Servine}}, {{p|Serperior}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Pignite}}, {{p|Emboar}}, {{p|Patrat}}, {{p|Watchog}}, {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Simisear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, {{p|Simipour}}, {{p|Blitzle}}, {{p|Zebstrika}}, {{p|Sewaddle}}, {{p|Swadloon}}, {{p|Leavanny}}, {{p|Ducklett}}, {{p|Swanna}}, {{p|Furfrou}}, {{p|Pikipek}}, {{p|Trumbeak}}, {{p|Toucannon}}, and {{p|Minior}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1630244702661361665</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1648868867811180544</ref>
** Additionally, the following [[regional form]]s cannot be transferred out of HOME into any Generation VIII or IX game: {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Geodude}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Graveler}}, and {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Golem}}.
**Blitzle and Zebstrika have been announced to be added to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet with the release of [[The Indigo Disk]] DLC.
**{{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Minior}}, and {{p|Magearna}} are the only Pokémon that cannot currently be obtained in Pokémon HOME without transferring them from [[Pokémon Bank]].

'''Pokémon HOME''' (Japanese: '''Pokémon HOME''') is a cloud service for {{wp|iOS}}, {{wp|iPadOS}}, {{wp|Android (operating system)|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.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zone differences, the app was released on February 11, 2020 in the Americas, even though it was released at the same time as the rest of the world.</ref>

It was announced at the [[Pokémon Presents#May 29, 2019|Pokémon 2019 Press Conference]] on May 29, 2019.

Pokémon HOME is managed by Pokémon researcher [[Grand Oak]], whose goal is to create a [[Pokédex]] that includes every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}.

==Features==
===Pokémon transfer===
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way [[transfer]] to and from all Switch [[core series]] games. Both the mobile and Switch versions allow one-way transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] (only with a Premium Plan) and [[Pokémon GO]]. Support for [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] is planned for May 30, 2023.

====Compatibility with Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
Only Pokémon originally from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can be moved into (another copy of) Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and if such a Pokémon is transferred into a future game, it can no longer be moved back to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!. Pokémon can only be transferred into a Generation VIII game if it is present in the coding of the target game.

Pokémon that arrive in HOME via transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] are automatically converted to the same format used by {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and therefore cannot enter Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, even if it is a species/form found in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Let's Go Pokédex]].

====Compatibility with Generation VIII====
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way transfer to and from all [[Generation VIII]] games, beginning with {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] that are compatible with Sword and Shield can be transferred to and from Sword and Shield freely, and retain their movesets, including all past-generation exclusive moves regardless of whether they are usable or [[List of moves by availability (Generation VIII)|unusable in Sword and Shield]].

As of version 2.0.0, HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. Transfer to and from these games is subject to the following quirks:
* Movesets cannot be transferred to or from these sets of games. When a Pokémon first enters or leaves one of these sets of games, its moveset will change to its four most recent level-up moves in the destination game. HOME tracks 3 separate movesets (including [[PP Up]]s/[[PP Max]]es) for each individual Pokémon; this persists across different save files and HOME accounts. (A Pokémon from Bank, GO, or Let's Go, Pikachu!/Let's Go, Eevee! has its current moveset treated as its [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword/Shield]] moveset.)
** For example, if a Pokémon is transferred from Sword/Shield to Legends: Arceus and learns a [[Move Tutor]] move there, it will regain that move whenever it is transferred out of and back into Legends: Arceus.
* Pokémon originally from {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} will appear in a [[Strange Ball]] if transferred into Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, while Pokémon originally from outside of Legends: Arceus will appear in a Strange Ball if transferred into Legends: Arceus. Their original ball will reappear if transferred back into/out of Legends: Arceus.
** [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] do not recognize the Strange Ball, causing Pokémon originally from Legends: Arceus to appear in a standard {{i|Poké Ball}}. Sword and Shield also do not recognize future [[origin mark]]s, and will display the Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl and Legends: Arceus marks as the Galar symbol instead. (The original origin mark is displayed everywhere else.)

====Compatibility with Generation IX====
Pokémon HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokemon Scarlet and Violet]] on May 30, 2023 as part of Version 3.0.0.

On May 18, 2023, [[The Pokémon Company International]] announced that Pokémon HOME support with the games would release on May 24, 2023 at 01:00 UTC, but on May 19, the company announced it was a mistake and said that the actual release date was yet to be announced. No such announcement was made in Japanese by [[The Pokémon Company]], and unlike the later date, the earlier date did not appear in a notice inside the HOME app itself.

In an apparent translation error, the Spanish version of the notice stated that staggered logins would take place from May 30, 2023 06:00 UTC to May 25, 2023 06:00 UTC, instead of the latter date being May 31, 2023 06:00 UTC.<ref>https://twitter.com/MelkorPxP/status/1661886523539697664</ref>

====Compatibility with Pokémon GO====
{{main|GO Transporter}}
One-way transfers from [[Pokémon GO]] to HOME were made available on November 11, 2020.<ref group="note" name="releasego">Due to time zone differences, GO Transporter was released on November 10, 2020 in the Americas.</ref> Upon the first transfer, the player will also receive a {{p|Melmetal}} that can [[Gigantamax]] in Pokémon HOME.

Transfers from Pokémon GO are subject to their own different set of limitations, modifications, and microtransactions.

====Limitations====
* The Totem-sized Pokémon that can be in [[Pokémon Bank]] are reduced to their normal sizes when transferred to Pokémon HOME.
* Pokémon that cannot be [[trade]]d in-game also cannot be deposited, including the {{ga|partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}}, and the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{p|Calyrex}}.
* Like in Pokémon Bank, [[held item]]s cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME; depositing a Pokémon holding an item into HOME causes that item to be returned to the [[Bag]] in the game the Pokémon was deposited from.
* From v2.0.0 onward:
** [[Gigantamax]] Factor {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Meowth}} cannot be transferred to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} or {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. This is to prevent them from [[evolution|evolving]] in games that do not recognize the Gigantamax Factor.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SerebiiNet/status/1526900020011745282?s=20&t=EjiW0CDu0avbVjizmVLcmA @SerebiiNet]</ref>
** {{p|Nincada}} [[Game of origin|originally from]] Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], and Nincada from outside of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into those games.
*** This is likely a redundant protection against several cloning glitches due to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's "PokeDupeChecker" having cases to exclude natural clones such as Ninjask/Shedinja, and Pokémon originating from other games from being flagged and subsequently restricted from trades, HOME, and the [[Pokémon Nursery]].<ref>https://twitter.com/Kaphotics/status/1495965127031816192</ref>
** {{p|Spinda}} cannot be transferred between Pokémon HOME and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. This is likely due to a [[List of glitches (Generation VIII)#Spinda spot pattern glitch|bug]] in the latter game where the bytes of Spinda's [[encryption constant]] are mistakenly read in reverse order, which would cause Spinda's spot pattern to change on transfer if transfers were possible.
** In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Pokémon that can only be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]] once per save file (such as {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}) can only be (newly) deposited once per save file. This is in order to mitigate the Dialga/Palkia rematch glitch.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuVzL1Wf6-I</ref>
*** This check is based on save file rather than [[OT]]. For example, if two players playing Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl both catch a {{p|Regigigas}}, then one player [[trade]]s their Regigigas to the other, then that player attempts to deposit both Regigigas into HOME, HOME will block the second deposit. This can be worked around if one player deposits and withdraws their own Regigigas from HOME first before trading to the other player, since then that player is no longer attempting to ''newly'' deposit twice (one of the Regigigas has been in HOME before).
**** This cannot be circumvented with multiple HOME accounts, as it will recognize the savefile regardless.
*** As a result, it is possible to run into this restriction even with official event Pokémon - if the player receives {{DL|List of serial code event Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)|Ten'i Village Regigigas}} in Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, then it cannot be deposited if the [[Snowpoint Temple]] Regigigas is deposited, and vice versa, unless the player can trade one of the Regigigas to another game without going through HOME.

===Pokémon storage===
On the free Basic Plan, up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited in one box named the "Basic Box". The Basic Box cannot be manually organized and will always sort Pokémon from most to least recently deposited/traded for (with most recent at the top left). (Ties are broken by Pokédex order.)<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/orange-islands-sqsa-thread.3603112/page-63#post-9241707</ref>

On the Premium Plan, up to 6,000 Pokémon can be deposited in 200 boxes named "HOME 1" through "HOME 200", which can be freely organized as with core series PC boxes. When a Basic Plan is upgraded, all Pokémon in the Basic Box appear in HOME 1; however, the reverse is not true. When a Premium Plan ends, only the 30 Pokémon most recently deposited/traded for 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.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039615831-If-I-deposit-31-or-more-Pok%C3%A9mon-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-and-my-Premium-Plan-expires-what-will-happen-to-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref>

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.

The [[stats judge]] function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.

Pokémon do not display specific met locations while in the Nintendo Switch version of HOME, instead only displaying the region corresponding to their [[game of origin]]. As of v2.0.0, the mobile version will display both a region and a location name within that region, but for Pokémon transferred from the Virtual Console games through Poké Transporter, the latter will simply be a second copy of the region name, and for Pokémon transferred from [[Generation III]] or {{gen|IV}}, the latter location will be displayed as "Poké Shifter" (the transliterated Japanese name for [[Poké Transfer]]).

====Game-specific data and HOME tracker value====
Depositing any Pokémon into HOME for the first time will assign it a HOME tracker value, a 64-bit number unique to it that is used to detect [[Pokémon cloning|clones]] and other [[Cheating|hacked]] Pokémon. (For example, a Pokémon hacked to have a random tracker value can be detected as HOME will not remember having assigned this value in the past.) This tracker value is stored with the Pokémon and stays the same even if (e.g.) the Pokémon is withdrawn and traded offline to another player.

As of v2.0.0, the tracker value is also used to keep track of data that is not transferred between games and must be stored server-side, such as:
* A Pokémon's four movesets (between {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}, and {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}})
* Met location and egg hatch location (since none of the four sets of games share [[List of locations by index number (Generation VIII)|location index numbers]])
* [[Gigantamax]] Factor, [[TR|Technical Record]] flags, {{DL|Pokémon Camp|Sociability}}, [[effort level]]s, {{pkmn2|Alpha}} flag, [[Zisu]]'s [[Training grounds#Move Tutor|Move Tutor moves and Move Mastery]] flags, and [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera type]].
* From v3.0.0 onwards, [[ability]].
For example, the Alpha Pokemon flag is not stored anywhere in the Pokémon data of Sword/Shield or Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl. If a Pokémon from Pokémon Legends: Arceus is transferred to one of these games and back, it must keep its Alpha flag. This is done by HOME associating that flag with that Pokémon's HOME tracker value. (The tracker value is also used for the once-per-save-file restriction on newly depositing certain {{pkmn2|Legendary}}/{{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. A Pokémon is being newly deposited if it does not have a HOME tracker value.)

Effectively, HOME as of v2.0.0 keeps track of four sets of incompatible data for each Pokémon; however, only one set of data will be displayed when a Pokémon's [[summary]] is viewed in HOME. For example, the Legends: Arceus set of data will display significantly different [[stat]]s and no [[Ability]] compared to the other two sets of data (even though the Ability is internally remembered by Legends: Arceus and is not game-specific data). On the Nintendo Switch version, only the Sword/Shield set of data will be displayed for all Pokémon unless the application is currently connected to Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus. The type of [[Poké Ball]] shown will change depending on which set of data is being displayed, though the [[origin mark]] will always be correct. On the mobile version, the set of data displayed for a Pokémon is picked depending on the last game it was previously in (or Sword/Shield by default if that Pokémon has never been in a [[Generation VIII]] game). The type of Poké Ball shown will always be correct.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372709736596-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-Sheen-or-condition-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372695365652-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-effort-levels-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526950194373226497</ref>

If HOME attempts to display (for example) the Sword/Shield set of data for a Pokémon incompatible with Sword/Shield, the results vary depending on version. On the mobile version of HOME, this can only happen if a Pokémon incompatible with Sword/Shield is transferred from Bank or GO, and the app will display the stats and moveset as they last were in Bank (or as determined by [[GO Transporter]]). On the Nintendo Switch version before v2.0.0, the application behaved identically to the mobile version. On the Nintendo Switch version from v2.0.0 onward, the app will not display any stats or moves for incompatible Pokémon.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6425814626580-Why-can-t-I-see-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-s-moves-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526917289500585984</ref>

From v3.0.0 onwards abilities are also stored in game specific data. Any changes to a Pokémon's ability using the [[Ability Capsule]] or [[Ability Patch]] in one game will not affect its ability in other games it already has game data for. If it has no game data for a given game and enters that game for the first time, the Pokémon will be assigned the ability it currently has in its origin game data.

===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 Trade]]s and [[Surprise Trade]]s, 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.
* '''[[Global Trade System|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. There is a limit of 10 trades per day, regardless of whether the Basic Plan or Premium Plan is being used.

At least some [[event Pokémon]] appear to be impossible to trade for about a week to a few weeks after their initial release. This restriction applies separately to even different language versions of the same event Pokémon if they are released at different times.<ref>https://reddit.com/r/PokemonHome/comments/k0iagj/is_zarude_trade_locked_again/</ref><ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/a-fools-errand-completing-pokemon-home-without-paying-a-penny-complete.3673315/page-3</ref>

===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]], {{gen|VII}}, and {{gen|VIII}} core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Entries from {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} can only be viewed when HOME is connected to a Legends: Arceus save file that has the entry for that Pokémon completed to research level 10, if that Pokémon has been registered in HOME's Pokédex. However, the HOME Pokédex will register a Pokémon deposited from Legends: Arceus as caught and unlock any other game's Pokédex entries, if any, even if the research level in Legends: Arceus is not at level 10. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate [[list of Pokémon with form differences|form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered.

The mobile app version of Pokémon HOME also allows players to view the possible [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} a Pokémon can have.

Upon completing the National Pokédex up to {{p|Eternatus}}, an Original Color {{p|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.

====Registering Pokémon and alternate forms====
The Pokédex registers data for any Pokémon and form that is deposited into HOME.

If the Pokémon has a [[Mega Evolution]], a form that can only be used in battle (e.g. {{p|Cherrim}}'s {{form|Cherrim|Sunshine Form}}), or a form that requires a held item (e.g. {{p|Silvally}}'s {{form|Silvally|alternate forms}}), the data for these forms is registered when any form of the Pokémon is deposited (this also applies to {{form|Creation trio|Dialga, Palkia, Giratina}}, and {{form|Arceus}}, despite these Pokémon not requiring a held item or battle to change forms in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], as they revert to their standard forms upon being deposited into HOME).

If a Pokémon has a form that requires combining two Pokémon (i.e. {{form|Kyurem}}, {{form|Necrozma}}, or {{form|Calryex}}), the entry for that form is registered when both Pokémon that make up that form are registered. Registering Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma will also register Ultra Necrozma.

Forms that cannot be seen by HOME do not appear in the Pokédex as alternate forms, including [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], [[Cosplay Pikachu]], and all [[Totem Pokémon|Totem-sized Pokémon]]. (Spiky-eared Pichu and Cosplay Pikachu cannot appear in any game or app that can connect to HOME, while Totem-sized Pokémon all appear as regular-sized Pokémon from HOME's perspective.)

If a Pokémon with a gender difference is deposited, both genders are registered except in the case of [[Shiny Pokémon]] (see below).

Registering a Pokémon's [[Gigantamax]] form requires depositing the Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor.

Depositing a [[Shiny Pokémon]] will register both the Shiny and regular entries for that species and form. Unlike non-Shiny Pokémon on the mobile version, depositing a Shiny Pokémon with a gender difference will only register the Shiny entry for that gender.

Depositing any [[Foreign Pokédex entries|foreign language]] version of a Pokémon will unlock that language's Pokédex entry for all forms of that species that have been registered.

Additionally, when any Pokémon are transferred from Bank to HOME, all Pokédex data in Bank will be added to the Pokédex in HOME.

====Regional Pokédexes====
As of the v2.0.0 update, the mobile version of HOME now also keeps track of regional Pokédexes for Pokémon originating from the following games, along with the number of species required to complete each Pokédex:
* [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]
** [[Pdex|Paldea Pokédex]] (400)
* [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]
** [[LAdex|Hisui Pokédex]] (242)
* [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]
** [[Sdex|Sinnoh Pokédex]] (150)
* [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]
** [[Gdex|Galar Pokédex]] (400)
** [[IoAdex|Isle of Armor Pokédex]] (210)
** [[CTdex|Crown Tundra Pokédex]] (210)
* [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]
** [[Kdex|Kanto Pokédex]] (150)
* [[Pokémon GO]]
** Pokédex

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are included in the Hisui Pokédex, but excluded from the other Pokédexes. Completing an entry in one of these Pokédexes requires transferring into HOME a Pokémon with the [[origin mark]] of that specific game. Once one of these Pokédexes has been fully completed, except for that of Pokémon GO, a crown icon will appear next to the number of entries obtained for that Pokédex. (The 'regional' Pokédex for Pokémon originating from GO is just called "Pokédex".)

===Mystery Gifts===
{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)}}
{{main|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 code]]s for item distributions.

When first starting Pokémon HOME mobile, [[Grand Oak]] will give the user the choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}. Each of these Pokémon have their [[Abilities|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 {{OBP|Challenges|HOME}} to unlock stickers.

In the Nintendo Switch version, the player can complete {{OBP|Research Task|HOME}}s.

===Points===
Pokémon HOME Points serve as a currency of sorts, replacing [[Poké Mile]]s from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Every midnight UTC, the player gains a Pokémon HOME Point for every 31 stored Pokémon (rounded down). This calculation includes any inaccessible Pokémon the player may have in HOME as a result of a downgrade to the free plan. An account can accumulate a maximum of 99,999 Points at once.

Pokémon HOME Points can then be converted and transferred into [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]] games in the Nintendo Switch version:
* 30 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 [[Battle Point]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* 20 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 Battle Point in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 1 [[Merit Point]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 10 [[League Point]]s in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

===Move Reminder===
The 3.0.0 update added [[Move Reminder]] functionality in the Nintendo Switch version. The moves that can be learned through this feature are the standard [[level]] up moves for the game in use, as well as any moves in other game movesets{{tt|*|current moves and moves flagged as relearnable}} that are legal for the game in use. For example, a {{p|Tauros}} that knows {{m|Take Down}} in its [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] moveset can be taught Take Down in its [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] moveset using this feature, as Tauros can be taught Take Down in Scarlet and Violet via [[TM]]. However, a {{p|Moltres}} with {{m|Burn Up}} in its Pokémon Sword and Shield moveset cannot be taught Burn Up in its Pokémon Scarlet and Violet moveset, as Moltres cannot learn Burn Up in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet by any means.

This feature is the only way to access several previously [[Egg_Move#Unobtainable_Egg_Moves|unobtainable Egg Moves]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

===Other===
Players can customize their item called a binder in My Room using stickers obtained by completing [[Challenges (HOME)|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.

==Bugs and errors==
*The [[regional Pokédex]] for [[Pokémon GO]] that was added to the mobile version in v2.0.0 contains every Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] except for [[Mythical Pokémon]], which includes Pokémon that have not been released in Pokémon GO, as well as {{p|Spinda}} which cannot be transferred from that game, thus making it impossible to complete this Pokédex.
*In the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] in the mobile version, since the ability to request and search for Pokémon with specific forms and [[Language of origin|languages of origin]] was added, selecting to exclude requests for Pokémon the user does not have does not exclude requests for forms or languages that the user does not have as long as they have at least one of the Pokémon in any form or language.
*Due to a bug with how HOME handles punctuation, {{P|Farfetch'd}} and {{P|Sirfetch'd}} without [[nickname]]s transferred from Pokémon Bank or Pokémon GO will act as though they have nicknames, and cannot be re-nicknamed after being moved into a game. This is due to HOME assigning the incorrect apostrophe, the species name being "Farfetch’d" or "Sirfetch’d" and the nickname being assigned as "Farfetch'd" or "Sirfetch'd" instead.
*If a Sandy Cloak or Trash Cloak {{p|Burmy}} in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] or [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Mothim}} and is then deposited into HOME, it will not count towards the Sinnoh or Hisui regional Pokédexes (but will still count towards the National Pokédex).<ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1527278158872924160</ref>
*In the mobile version, although {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} are counted as "special Pokémon" for the purpose of the GTS's filters, they are included in the list of the most popular Pokémon requests that excludes special Pokémon.
*In the mobile version's [[National Pokédex]], the total number of Pokémon shown at the top of the page always includes all [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], even if the user has not selected to show all forms.

===Fixed===
*For approximately the first eight hours of release (February 12, 2020 between 01:00 UTC and 09:00 UTC), any [[Hyper Training]] performed in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon]] was lost upon transferring from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Details on how to restore it were announced in the app and on the official support websites.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-support.com/news/s/article/000002142 ''【Pokémon HOME】既知の不具合について - ポケットモンスター (<nowiki>[Pokémon HOME]</nowiki> Known bugs)'' - pokemon-support.com] (Japanese) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref><ref>[https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/news/972 ''현재「Pokémon HOME」에서 확인된 이상 현상에 대하여 - 포켓몬 공식 사이트 (About the anomalies currently identified in "Pokémon HOME")'' - pokemonkorea.co.kr] (Korean) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref>
**Pokémon HOME went down for maintenance on February 25, 2020 between 01:30 and 11:30 UTC, during which any affected Pokémon stored in HOME at the time regained their Hyper Training.
*Initially, HOME would automatically delete any Pokémon with duplicate tracker values on the assumption that they were [[Cheating|hacked]] [[Pokémon cloning|clones]]; however, this behavior would cause one of a {{p|Ninjask}} and {{p|Shedinja}} pair to be deleted as the HOME tracker value was among the data copied to Shedinja.
**This was partially fixed sometime between February 25, 2020 and February 28, 2020 when HOME would instead disallow a Pokémon with a duplicate tracker value from being deposited.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1232391734279254018</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1233603766798209025</ref> It was fully fixed sometime around April 23, 2020, and depositing a Ninjask and Shedinja with duplicate tracker values will now cause HOME to reassign the Shedinja a new tracker value.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1253373524225470469</ref> The Shedinja will have its tracker reassigned the first time it is deposited into HOME, regardless of what its [[game of origin]] is, whether it previously had a HOME tracker value from visiting HOME as a Nincada, or whether it is deposited into HOME at the same time as the matching Ninjask.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-brilliant-diamond-and-shining-pearl-release-19th-nov-2021.3679043/post-9269516</ref>
*In the Nintendo Switch versions before v2.0.0, all {{p|Arceus}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|forms]] were considered {{type|Normal}} instead of their actual [[type]]s except for the {{type|Dragon}} and {{type|Fairy}} forms.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, when using the "All Forms" filter in the Pokédex, [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Pumpkaboo_and_Gourgeist|Average Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist]] did not appear with their three other forms and were not counted in the total number of forms displayed at the top of the page. Additionally, the Super Size forms replaced the Average Size forms as the default forms shown in the [[National Pokédex]], though viewing either Pokémon's Pokédex entry still displayed all four sizes. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, the user's boxes from the Nintendo Switch version would not be displayed on the label selection screen when selecting Pokémon for a trade. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version, after using the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or Wonder Box, the entries in the [[regional Pokédex]]es would be reset and would only have entries registered for Pokémon currently in HOME, lacking any entries registered for Pokémon that were not in HOME at the time the bug occurred. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 between May 18, 2022 06:00 UTC and May 27, 2022 01:00 UTC, some players would receive error code 10015 an unknown percentage of the time after depositing Pokémon and attempting to save changes, preventing Pokémon from being deposited. This was fixed in v2.0.1, and affected players who were on the Premium Plan at the time received 10 free days (including those whose subscriptions ended between receiving the error and the release of v2.0.1).<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6560421494932-Update-Info-for-the-Nintendo-Switch-Version-ver-2-0-1-</ref>
*In the mobile version only, [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black Kyurem]]'s Pokédex entries for [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] were the same as those of regular {{p|Kyurem}}, even though Black Kyurem has its own entries in the Switch version. This was fixed in v2.0.2.
*Starting in v2.0.0 in the Switch version only, Pokémon that were [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon GO]], or [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] but had not been moved to a compatible game in [[Generation VIII]] (or were not compatible with any games in that [[generation]]) would not have their [[base stats]], [[effort values]], [[individual values]], or [[move]]s shown, even if the player chose not to connect any game with HOME. This was fixed in v3.0.0.

==Premium Plan cost==
Except for prices for the Nintendo eShop in the United States, all prices below are inclusive of GST/VAT or other taxes where applicable.

==Trivia==
* All of the Pokémon appear in Pokémon HOME posed in the same position as their official art, with Pokémon from the [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} taking on their poses from their redesigned art from Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} respectively.
** Furthermore, [[Shiny Pokémon]] appear as Shiny, instead of their usual colorations, and [[gender differences]] are visible.
** On the Nintendo Switch version, only these static renders are visible. On the mobile version, full 3D models are visible.
*** As a result, for example, the location of {{p|Spinda}}'s spots are only visible on the mobile version, since Spinda uses the same static render regardless of its spots.
*** On the Nintendo Switch version, some of these renders were improved in version 1.2.<ref>https://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo_switch/pokemonhome/</ref>
* 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.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_HOME_(iOS,_Android) TCRF - Pokémon HOME (iOS / Android) unused content]</ref>
* The Switch version cannot be used while the mobile version is being used at the same time, and vice-versa.
* Prior to version 1.1, friend trades were restricted to local trades only. This restriction was lifted to celebrate the release of version 1.1, allowing players to trade with each other no matter how far away they are from each other. This was initially intended to be temporary; however, it appears to have been a permanent change, as over a year and several updates later it has not been reverted.
* Each HOME account generates its own [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and [[Trainer ID number#Secret ID|secret ID]], which is assigned to some Pokémon received from [[Mystery Gift]]s in HOME. To prevent these Pokémon with a [[personality value]] of <code>00000000</code> (hexadecimal) from being {{Shiny}}, rather than assigning a different personality value, HOME will never generate an account's ID numbers where the combination results in that personality value being calculated as Shiny.<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/issues/3007</ref>
* Prior to HOME's major v2.0.0 update, the servers went down for maintenance between 00:00 UTC and 06:00 UTC on May 18, 2022. Afterward, users were given staggered login times for 19 hours (until 01:00 UTC May 19, 2022) to reduce server load. However, newly created accounts after the maintenance were not staggered and could log in immediately.
* When a Pokémon needs to generate a new moveset (for example when being transferred from Sword/Shield to Legends: Arceus for the first time), the new moveset is not saved upon being generated. Instead, it is only saved once the transfer is complete. For example:
** The player has a level 4 {{p|Pikachu}} currently in HOME that was originally from Sword/Shield and that has never been in Legends: Arceus. The player connects HOME to Legends: Arceus, deposits Pikachu, and views its [[summary]]. Its only move will be {{m|Thunder Shock}}. The player then withdraws Pikachu back into HOME, saves their changes, disconnects from Legends: Arceus, transfers Pikachu into Sword/Shield, levels it up to level 5, then re-deposits it into HOME. Upon connecting to Legends: Arceus again, Pikachu's moveset will be generated a second time and it will have the new move {{m|Quick Attack}}.
** If the player instead deposits (level 4) Pikachu into Legends: Arceus, saves their changes, then withdraws Pikachu back into HOME, by the end the level 5 Pikachu will not know Quick Attack inside Legends: Arceus. This is because it has been in Legends: Arceus before, so its previous moveset will be remembered and a new moveset will not be generated.
* The following 27 Pokémon are the only species that cannot be transferred out of Pokémon HOME into any [[Generation VIII]] or [[Generation IX|IX]] game: {{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Servine}}, {{p|Serperior}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Pignite}}, {{p|Emboar}}, {{p|Patrat}}, {{p|Watchog}}, {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Simisear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, {{p|Simipour}}, {{p|Blitzle}}, {{p|Zebstrika}}, {{p|Sewaddle}}, {{p|Swadloon}}, {{p|Leavanny}}, {{p|Ducklett}}, {{p|Swanna}}, {{p|Furfrou}}, {{p|Pikipek}}, {{p|Trumbeak}}, {{p|Toucannon}}, and {{p|Minior}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1630244702661361665</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1648868867811180544</ref>
** Additionally, the following [[regional form]]s cannot be transferred out of HOME into any Generation VIII or IX game: {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Geodude}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Graveler}}, and {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Golem}}.
**Blitzle and Zebstrika have been announced to be added to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet with the release of [[The Indigo Disk]] DLC.
**{{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Minior}}, and {{p|Magearna}} are the only Pokémon that cannot currently be obtained in Pokémon HOME without transferring them from [[Pokémon Bank]].

The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way [[transfer]] to and from all Switch [[core series]] games. Both the mobile and Switch versions allow one-way transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] (only with a Premium Plan) and [[Pokémon GO]]. Support for [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] is planned for May 30, 2023.

====Compatibility with Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
Only Pokémon originally from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can be moved into (another copy of) Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and if such a Pokémon is transferred into a future game, it can no longer be moved back to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!. Pokémon can only be transferred into a Generation VIII game if it is present in the coding of the target game.

Pokémon that arrive in HOME via transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] are automatically converted to the same format used by {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and therefore cannot enter Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, even if it is a species/form found in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Let's Go Pokédex]].

====Compatibility with Generation VIII====
The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way transfer to and from all [[Generation VIII]] games, beginning with {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[GO Transporter]] that are compatible with Sword and Shield can be transferred to and from Sword and Shield freely, and retain their movesets, including all past-generation exclusive moves regardless of whether they are usable or [[List of moves by availability (Generation VIII)|unusable in Sword and Shield]].

As of version 2.0.0, HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. Transfer to and from these games is subject to the following quirks:
* Movesets cannot be transferred to or from these sets of games. When a Pokémon first enters or leaves one of these sets of games, its moveset will change to its four most recent level-up moves in the destination game. HOME tracks 3 separate movesets (including [[PP Up]]s/[[PP Max]]es) for each individual Pokémon; this persists across different save files and HOME accounts. (A Pokémon from Bank, GO, or Let's Go, Pikachu!/Let's Go, Eevee! has its current moveset treated as its [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword/Shield]] moveset.)
** For example, if a Pokémon is transferred from Sword/Shield to Legends: Arceus and learns a [[Move Tutor]] move there, it will regain that move whenever it is transferred out of and back into Legends: Arceus.
* Pokémon originally from {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} will appear in a [[Strange Ball]] if transferred into Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, while Pokémon originally from outside of Legends: Arceus will appear in a Strange Ball if transferred into Legends: Arceus. Their original ball will reappear if transferred back into/out of Legends: Arceus.
** [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] do not recognize the Strange Ball, causing Pokémon originally from Legends: Arceus to appear in a standard {{i|Poké Ball}}. Sword and Shield also do not recognize future [[origin mark]]s, and will display the Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl and Legends: Arceus marks as the Galar symbol instead. (The original origin mark is displayed everywhere else.)

====Compatibility with Generation IX====
Pokémon HOME gained compatibility with [[Pokemon Scarlet and Violet]] on May 30, 2023 as part of Version 3.0.0.

On May 18, 2023, [[The Pokémon Company International]] announced that Pokémon HOME support with the games would release on May 24, 2023 at 01:00 UTC, but on May 19, the company announced it was a mistake and said that the actual release date was yet to be announced. No such announcement was made in Japanese by [[The Pokémon Company]], and unlike the later date, the earlier date did not appear in a notice inside the HOME app itself.

In an apparent translation error, the Spanish version of the notice stated that staggered logins would take place from May 30, 2023 06:00 UTC to May 25, 2023 06:00 UTC, instead of the latter date being May 31, 2023 06:00 UTC.<ref>https://twitter.com/MelkorPxP/status/1661886523539697664</ref>

====Compatibility with Pokémon GO====
{{main|GO Transporter}}
One-way transfers from [[Pokémon GO]] to HOME were made available on November 11, 2020.<ref group="note" name="releasego">Due to time zone differences, GO Transporter was released on November 10, 2020 in the Americas.</ref> Upon the first transfer, the player will also receive a {{p|Melmetal}} that can [[Gigantamax]] in Pokémon HOME.

Transfers from Pokémon GO are subject to their own different set of limitations, modifications, and microtransactions.

====Limitations====
* The Totem-sized Pokémon that can be in [[Pokémon Bank]] are reduced to their normal sizes when transferred to Pokémon HOME.
* Pokémon that cannot be [[trade]]d in-game also cannot be deposited, including the {{ga|partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}}, and the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{p|Calyrex}}.
* Like in Pokémon Bank, [[held item]]s cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME; depositing a Pokémon holding an item into HOME causes that item to be returned to the [[Bag]] in the game the Pokémon was deposited from.
* From v2.0.0 onward:
** [[Gigantamax]] Factor {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Meowth}} cannot be transferred to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} or {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. This is to prevent them from [[evolution|evolving]] in games that do not recognize the Gigantamax Factor.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SerebiiNet/status/1526900020011745282?s=20&t=EjiW0CDu0avbVjizmVLcmA @SerebiiNet]</ref>
** {{p|Nincada}} [[Game of origin|originally from]] Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], and Nincada from outside of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cannot be transferred into those games.
*** This is likely a redundant protection against several cloning glitches due to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's "PokeDupeChecker" having cases to exclude natural clones such as Ninjask/Shedinja, and Pokémon originating from other games from being flagged and subsequently restricted from trades, HOME, and the [[Pokémon Nursery]].<ref>https://twitter.com/Kaphotics/status/1495965127031816192</ref>
** {{p|Spinda}} cannot be transferred between Pokémon HOME and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. This is likely due to a [[List of glitches (Generation VIII)#Spinda spot pattern glitch|bug]] in the latter game where the bytes of Spinda's [[encryption constant]] are mistakenly read in reverse order, which would cause Spinda's spot pattern to change on transfer if transfers were possible.
** In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Pokémon that can only be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]] once per save file (such as {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}) can only be (newly) deposited once per save file. This is in order to mitigate the Dialga/Palkia rematch glitch.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuVzL1Wf6-I</ref>
*** This check is based on save file rather than [[OT]]. For example, if two players playing Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl both catch a {{p|Regigigas}}, then one player [[trade]]s their Regigigas to the other, then that player attempts to deposit both Regigigas into HOME, HOME will block the second deposit. This can be worked around if one player deposits and withdraws their own Regigigas from HOME first before trading to the other player, since then that player is no longer attempting to ''newly'' deposit twice (one of the Regigigas has been in HOME before).
**** This cannot be circumvented with multiple HOME accounts, as it will recognize the savefile regardless.
*** As a result, it is possible to run into this restriction even with official event Pokémon - if the player receives {{DL|List of serial code event Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)|Ten'i Village Regigigas}} in Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, then it cannot be deposited if the [[Snowpoint Temple]] Regigigas is deposited, and vice versa, unless the player can trade one of the Regigigas to another game without going through HOME.

===Pokémon storage===
On the free Basic Plan, up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited in one box named the "Basic Box". The Basic Box cannot be manually organized and will always sort Pokémon from most to least recently deposited/traded for (with most recent at the top left). (Ties are broken by Pokédex order.)<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/orange-islands-sqsa-thread.3603112/page-63#post-9241707</ref>

On the Premium Plan, up to 6,000 Pokémon can be deposited in 200 boxes named "HOME 1" through "HOME 200", which can be freely organized as with core series PC boxes. When a Basic Plan is upgraded, all Pokémon in the Basic Box appear in HOME 1; however, the reverse is not true. When a Premium Plan ends, only the 30 Pokémon most recently deposited/traded for 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.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039615831-If-I-deposit-31-or-more-Pok%C3%A9mon-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-and-my-Premium-Plan-expires-what-will-happen-to-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref>

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.

The [[stats judge]] function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.

Pokémon do not display specific met locations while in the Nintendo Switch version of HOME, instead only displaying the region corresponding to their [[game of origin]]. As of v2.0.0, the mobile version will display both a region and a location name within that region, but for Pokémon transferred from the Virtual Console games through Poké Transporter, the latter will simply be a second copy of the region name, and for Pokémon transferred from [[Generation III]] or {{gen|IV}}, the latter location will be displayed as "Poké Shifter" (the transliterated Japanese name for [[Poké Transfer]]).

====Game-specific data and HOME tracker value====
Depositing any Pokémon into HOME for the first time will assign it a HOME tracker value, a 64-bit number unique to it that is used to detect [[Pokémon cloning|clones]] and other [[Cheating|hacked]] Pokémon. (For example, a Pokémon hacked to have a random tracker value can be detected as HOME will not remember having assigned this value in the past.) This tracker value is stored with the Pokémon and stays the same even if (e.g.) the Pokémon is withdrawn and traded offline to another player.

As of v2.0.0, the tracker value is also used to keep track of data that is not transferred between games and must be stored server-side, such as:
* A Pokémon's three movesets (between {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}})
* Met location and egg hatch location (since none of the three sets of games share [[List of locations by index number (Generation VIII)|location index numbers]])
* [[Gigantamax]] Factor, [[TR|Technical Record]] flags, {{DL|Pokémon Camp|Sociability}}, [[effort level]]s, {{pkmn2|Alpha}} flag, and [[Zisu]]'s [[Training grounds#Move Tutor|Move Tutor moves and Move Mastery]] flags
For example, the Alpha Pokemon flag is not stored anywhere in the Pokémon data of Sword/Shield or Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl. If a Pokémon from Pokémon Legends: Arceus is transferred to one of these games and back, it must keep its Alpha flag. This is done by HOME associating that flag with that Pokémon's HOME tracker value. (The tracker value is also used for the once-per-save-file restriction on newly depositing certain {{pkmn2|Legendary}}/{{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. A Pokémon is being newly deposited if it does not have a HOME tracker value.)

Effectively, HOME as of v2.0.0 keeps track of three sets of incompatible data for each Pokémon; however, only one set of data will be displayed when a Pokémon's [[summary]] is viewed in HOME. For example, the Legends: Arceus set of data will display significantly different [[stat]]s and no [[Ability]] compared to the other two sets of data (even though the Ability is internally remembered by Legends: Arceus and is not game-specific data). On the Nintendo Switch version, only the Sword/Shield set of data will be displayed for all Pokémon unless the application is currently connected to Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus. The type of [[Poké Ball]] shown will change depending on which set of data is being displayed, though the [[origin mark]] will always be correct. On the mobile version, the set of data displayed for a Pokémon is picked depending on the last game it was previously in (or Sword/Shield by default if that Pokémon has never been in a [[Generation VIII]] game). The type of Poké Ball shown will always be correct.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372709736596-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-Sheen-or-condition-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372695365652-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-effort-levels-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526950194373226497</ref>

If HOME attempts to display (for example) the Sword/Shield set of data for a Pokémon incompatible with Sword/Shield, the results vary depending on version. On the mobile version of HOME, this can only happen if a Pokémon incompatible with Sword/Shield is transferred from Bank or GO, and the app will display the stats and moveset as they last were in Bank (or as determined by [[GO Transporter]]). On the Nintendo Switch version before v2.0.0, the application behaved identically to the mobile version. On the Nintendo Switch version from v2.0.0 onward, the app will not display any stats or moves for incompatible Pokémon.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6425814626580-Why-can-t-I-see-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-s-moves-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-HOME-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526917289500585984</ref>

===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 Trade]]s and [[Surprise Trade]]s, 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.
* '''[[Global Trade System|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. There is a limit of 10 trades per day, regardless of whether the Basic Plan or Premium Plan is being used.

At least some [[event Pokémon]] appear to be impossible to trade for about a week to a few weeks after their initial release. This restriction applies separately to even different language versions of the same event Pokémon if they are released at different times.<ref>https://reddit.com/r/PokemonHome/comments/k0iagj/is_zarude_trade_locked_again/</ref><ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/a-fools-errand-completing-pokemon-home-without-paying-a-penny-complete.3673315/page-3</ref>

===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]], {{gen|VII}}, and {{gen|VIII}} core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Entries from {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} can only be viewed when HOME is connected to a Legends: Arceus save file that has the entry for that Pokémon completed to research level 10, if that Pokémon has been registered in HOME's Pokédex. However, the HOME Pokédex will register a Pokémon deposited from Legends: Arceus as caught and unlock any other game's Pokédex entries, if any, even if the research level in Legends: Arceus is not at level 10. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate [[list of Pokémon with form differences|form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered.

The mobile app version of Pokémon HOME also allows players to view the possible [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} a Pokémon can have.

Upon completing the National Pokédex up to {{p|Eternatus}}, an Original Color {{p|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.

====Registering Pokémon and alternate forms====
The Pokédex registers data for any Pokémon and form that is deposited into HOME.

If the Pokémon has a [[Mega Evolution]], a form that can only be used in battle (e.g. {{p|Cherrim}}'s {{form|Cherrim|Sunshine Form}}), or a form that requires a held item (e.g. {{p|Silvally}}'s {{form|Silvally|alternate forms}}), the data for these forms is registered when any form of the Pokémon is deposited (this also applies to {{form|Creation trio|Dialga, Palkia, Giratina}}, and {{form|Arceus}}, despite these Pokémon not requiring a held item or battle to change forms in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], as they revert to their standard forms upon being deposited into HOME).

If a Pokémon has a form that requires combining two Pokémon (i.e. {{form|Kyurem}}, {{form|Necrozma}}, or {{form|Calryex}}), the entry for that form is registered when both Pokémon that make up that form are registered. Registering Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma will also register Ultra Necrozma.

Forms that cannot be seen by HOME do not appear in the Pokédex as alternate forms, including [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], [[Cosplay Pikachu]], and all [[Totem Pokémon|Totem-sized Pokémon]]. (Spiky-eared Pichu and Cosplay Pikachu cannot appear in any game or app that can connect to HOME, while Totem-sized Pokémon all appear as regular-sized Pokémon from HOME's perspective.)

If a Pokémon with a gender difference is deposited, both genders are registered except in the case of [[Shiny Pokémon]] (see below).

Registering a Pokémon's [[Gigantamax]] form requires depositing the Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor.

Depositing a [[Shiny Pokémon]] will register both the Shiny and regular entries for that species and form. Unlike non-Shiny Pokémon on the mobile version, depositing a Shiny Pokémon with a gender difference will only register the Shiny entry for that gender.

Depositing any [[Foreign Pokédex entries|foreign language]] version of a Pokémon will unlock that language's Pokédex entry for all forms of that species that have been registered.

Additionally, when any Pokémon are transferred from Bank to HOME, all Pokédex data in Bank will be added to the Pokédex in HOME.

====Regional Pokédexes====
As of the v2.0.0 update, the mobile version of HOME now also keeps track of regional Pokédexes for Pokémon originating from the following games, along with the number of species required to complete each Pokédex:
* [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]
** [[Pdex|Paldea Pokédex]] (400)
* [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]
** [[LAdex|Hisui Pokédex]] (242)
* [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]
** [[Sdex|Sinnoh Pokédex]] (150)
* [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]
** [[Gdex|Galar Pokédex]] (400)
** [[IoAdex|Isle of Armor Pokédex]] (210)
** [[CTdex|Crown Tundra Pokédex]] (210)
* [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]
** [[Kdex|Kanto Pokédex]] (150)
* [[Pokémon GO]]
** Pokédex

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are included in the Hisui Pokédex, but excluded from the other Pokédexes. Completing an entry in one of these Pokédexes requires transferring into HOME a Pokémon with the [[origin mark]] of that specific game. Once one of these Pokédexes has been fully completed, except for that of Pokémon GO, a crown icon will appear next to the number of entries obtained for that Pokédex. (The 'regional' Pokédex for Pokémon originating from GO is just called "Pokédex".)

===Mystery Gifts===
{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)}}
{{main|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 code]]s for item distributions.

When first starting Pokémon HOME mobile, [[Grand Oak]] will give the user the choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}. Each of these Pokémon have their [[Abilities|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 {{OBP|Challenges|HOME}} to unlock stickers.

In the Nintendo Switch version, the player can complete {{OBP|Research Task|HOME}}s.

===Points===
Pokémon HOME Points serve as a currency of sorts, replacing [[Poké Mile]]s from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Every midnight UTC, the player gains a Pokémon HOME Point for every 31 stored Pokémon (rounded down). This calculation includes any inaccessible Pokémon the player may have in HOME as a result of a downgrade to the free plan. An account can accumulate a maximum of 99,999 Points at once.

Pokémon HOME Points can then be converted and transferred into [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]] games in the Nintendo Switch version:
* 30 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 [[Battle Point]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* 20 Pokémon HOME Points are equivalent to 1 Battle Point in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
* 1 Pokémon HOME Point is equivalent to 1 [[Merit Point]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* 1 Pokémon Home Point is equivalent to 10 [[League Point]]s in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

===Move Reminder===
The 3.0.0 update added [[Move Reminder]] functionality in the Nintendo Switch version. The moves that can be learned through this feature are the standard [[level]] up moves for the game in use, as well as any moves in other game movesets{{tt|*|current moves and moves flagged as relearnable}} that are legal for the game in use. For example, a {{p|Tauros}} that knows {{m|Take Down}} in its [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] moveset can be taught Take Down in its [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] moveset using this feature, as Tauros can be taught Take Down in Scarlet and Violet via [[TM]]. However, a {{p|Moltres}} with {{m|Burn Up}} in its Pokémon Sword and Shield moveset cannot be taught Burn Up in its Pokémon Scarlet and Violet moveset, as Moltres cannot learn Burn Up in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet by any means.

This feature is the only way to access several previously [[Egg_Move#Unobtainable_Egg_Moves|unobtainable Egg Moves]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

===Other===
Players can customize their item called a binder in My Room using stickers obtained by completing [[Challenges (HOME)|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.

==Bugs and errors==
*The [[regional Pokédex]] for [[Pokémon GO]] that was added to the mobile version in v2.0.0 contains every Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] except for [[Mythical Pokémon]], which includes Pokémon that have not been released in Pokémon GO, as well as {{p|Spinda}} which cannot be transferred from that game, thus making it impossible to complete this Pokédex.
*In the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] in the mobile version, since the ability to request and search for Pokémon with specific forms and [[Language of origin|languages of origin]] was added, selecting to exclude requests for Pokémon the user does not have does not exclude requests for forms or languages that the user does not have as long as they have at least one of the Pokémon in any form or language.
*Due to a bug with how HOME handles punctuation, {{P|Farfetch'd}} and {{P|Sirfetch'd}} without [[nickname]]s transferred from Pokémon Bank or Pokémon GO will act as though they have nicknames, and cannot be re-nicknamed after being moved into a game. This is due to HOME assigning the incorrect apostrophe, the species name being "Farfetch’d" or "Sirfetch’d" and the nickname being assigned as "Farfetch'd" or "Sirfetch'd" instead.
*If a Sandy Cloak or Trash Cloak {{p|Burmy}} in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] or [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Mothim}} and is then deposited into HOME, it will not count towards the Sinnoh or Hisui regional Pokédexes (but will still count towards the National Pokédex).<ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1527278158872924160</ref>
*In the mobile version, although {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} are counted as "special Pokémon" for the purpose of the GTS's filters, they are included in the list of the most popular Pokémon requests that excludes special Pokémon.
*In the mobile version's [[National Pokédex]], the total number of Pokémon shown at the top of the page always includes all [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], even if the user has not selected to show all forms.

===Fixed===
*For approximately the first eight hours of release (February 12, 2020 between 01:00 UTC and 09:00 UTC), any [[Hyper Training]] performed in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon]] was lost upon transferring from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Details on how to restore it were announced in the app and on the official support websites.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-support.com/news/s/article/000002142 ''【Pokémon HOME】既知の不具合について - ポケットモンスター (<nowiki>[Pokémon HOME]</nowiki> Known bugs)'' - pokemon-support.com] (Japanese) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref><ref>[https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/news/972 ''현재「Pokémon HOME」에서 확인된 이상 현상에 대하여 - 포켓몬 공식 사이트 (About the anomalies currently identified in "Pokémon HOME")'' - pokemonkorea.co.kr] (Korean) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref>
**Pokémon HOME went down for maintenance on February 25, 2020 between 01:30 and 11:30 UTC, during which any affected Pokémon stored in HOME at the time regained their Hyper Training.
*Initially, HOME would automatically delete any Pokémon with duplicate tracker values on the assumption that they were [[Cheating|hacked]] [[Pokémon cloning|clones]]; however, this behavior would cause one of a {{p|Ninjask}} and {{p|Shedinja}} pair to be deleted as the HOME tracker value was among the data copied to Shedinja.
**This was partially fixed sometime between February 25, 2020 and February 28, 2020 when HOME would instead disallow a Pokémon with a duplicate tracker value from being deposited.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1232391734279254018</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1233603766798209025</ref> It was fully fixed sometime around April 23, 2020, and depositing a Ninjask and Shedinja with duplicate tracker values will now cause HOME to reassign the Shedinja a new tracker value.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1253373524225470469</ref> The Shedinja will have its tracker reassigned the first time it is deposited into HOME, regardless of what its [[game of origin]] is, whether it previously had a HOME tracker value from visiting HOME as a Nincada, or whether it is deposited into HOME at the same time as the matching Ninjask.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-brilliant-diamond-and-shining-pearl-release-19th-nov-2021.3679043/post-9269516</ref>
*In the Nintendo Switch versions before v2.0.0, all {{p|Arceus}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|forms]] were considered {{type|Normal}} instead of their actual [[type]]s except for the {{type|Dragon}} and {{type|Fairy}} forms.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, when using the "All Forms" filter in the Pokédex, [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Pumpkaboo_and_Gourgeist|Average Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist]] did not appear with their three other forms and were not counted in the total number of forms displayed at the top of the page. Additionally, the Super Size forms replaced the Average Size forms as the default forms shown in the [[National Pokédex]], though viewing either Pokémon's Pokédex entry still displayed all four sizes. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version only, the user's boxes from the Nintendo Switch version would not be displayed on the label selection screen when selecting Pokémon for a trade. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 in the mobile version, after using the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or Wonder Box, the entries in the [[regional Pokédex]]es would be reset and would only have entries registered for Pokémon currently in HOME, lacking any entries registered for Pokémon that were not in HOME at the time the bug occurred. This was fixed in v2.0.1.
*In v2.0.0 between May 18, 2022 06:00 UTC and May 27, 2022 01:00 UTC, some players would receive error code 10015 an unknown percentage of the time after depositing Pokémon and attempting to save changes, preventing Pokémon from being deposited. This was fixed in v2.0.1, and affected players who were on the Premium Plan at the time received 10 free days (including those whose subscriptions ended between receiving the error and the release of v2.0.1).<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6560421494932-Update-Info-for-the-Nintendo-Switch-Version-ver-2-0-1-</ref>
*In the mobile version only, [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black Kyurem]]'s Pokédex entries for [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] were the same as those of regular {{p|Kyurem}}, even though Black Kyurem has its own entries in the Switch version. This was fixed in v2.0.2.
*Starting in v2.0.0 in the Switch version only, Pokémon that were [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon GO]], or [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] but had not been moved to a compatible game in [[Generation VIII]] (or were not compatible with any games in that [[generation]]) would not have their [[base stats]], [[effort values]], [[individual values]], or [[move]]s shown, even if the player chose not to connect any game with HOME.

==Trivia==
* All of the Pokémon appear in Pokémon HOME posed in the same position as their official art, with Pokémon from the [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} taking on their poses from their redesigned art from Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} respectively.
** Furthermore, [[Shiny Pokémon]] appear as Shiny, instead of their usual colorations, and [[gender differences]] are visible.
** On the Nintendo Switch version, only these static renders are visible. On the mobile version, full 3D models are visible.
*** As a result, for example, the location of {{p|Spinda}}'s spots are only visible on the mobile version, since Spinda uses the same static render regardless of its spots.
*** On the Nintendo Switch version, some of these renders were improved in version 1.2.<ref>https://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo_switch/pokemonhome/</ref>
* 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.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_HOME_(iOS,_Android) TCRF - Pokémon HOME (iOS / Android) unused content]</ref>
* The Switch version cannot be used while the mobile version is being used at the same time, and vice-versa.
* Prior to version 1.1, friend trades were restricted to local trades only. This restriction was lifted to celebrate the release of version 1.1, allowing players to trade with each other no matter how far away they are from each other. This was initially intended to be temporary; however, it appears to have been a permanent change, as over a year and several updates later it has not been reverted.
* Each HOME account generates its own [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and [[Trainer ID number#Secret ID|secret ID]], which is assigned to some Pokémon received from [[Mystery Gift]]s in HOME. To prevent these Pokémon with a [[personality value]] of <code>00000000</code> (hexadecimal) from being {{Shiny}}, rather than assigning a different personality value, HOME will never generate an account's ID numbers where the combination results in that personality value being calculated as Shiny.<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/issues/3007</ref>
* Prior to HOME's major v2.0.0 update, the servers went down for maintenance between 00:00 UTC and 06:00 UTC on May 18, 2022. Afterward, users were given staggered login times for 19 hours (until 01:00 UTC May 19, 2022) to reduce server load. However, newly created accounts after the maintenance were not staggered and could log in immediately.
* When a Pokémon needs to generate a new moveset (for example when being transferred from Sword/Shield to Legends: Arceus for the first time), the new moveset is not saved upon being generated. Instead, it is only saved once the transfer is complete. For example:
** The player has a level 4 {{p|Pikachu}} currently in HOME that was originally from Sword/Shield and that has never been in Legends: Arceus. The player connects HOME to Legends: Arceus, deposits Pikachu, and views its [[summary]]. Its only move will be {{m|Thunder Shock}}. The player then withdraws Pikachu back into HOME, saves their changes, disconnects from Legends: Arceus, transfers Pikachu into Sword/Shield, levels it up to level 5, then re-deposits it into HOME. Upon connecting to Legends: Arceus again, Pikachu's moveset will be generated a second time and it will have the new move {{m|Quick Attack}}.
** If the player instead deposits (level 4) Pikachu into Legends: Arceus, saves their changes, then withdraws Pikachu back into HOME, by the end the level 5 Pikachu will not know Quick Attack inside Legends: Arceus. This is because it has been in Legends: Arceus before, so its previous moveset will be remembered and a new moveset will not be generated.
* The following Pokémon are the only species that cannot be transferred out of Pokémon HOME into any [[Generation VIII]] or [[Generation IX|IX]] game: {{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Servine}}, {{p|Serperior}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Pignite}}, {{p|Emboar}}, {{p|Patrat}}, {{p|Watchog}}, {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Simisear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, {{p|Simipour}}, {{p|Blitzle}}, {{p|Zebstrika}}, {{p|Sewaddle}}, {{p|Swadloon}}, {{p|Leavanny}}, {{p|Ducklett}}, {{p|Swanna}}, {{p|Furfrou}}, {{p|Pikipek}}, {{p|Trumbeak}}, {{p|Toucannon}}, and {{p|Minior}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1630244702661361665</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1648868867811180544</ref>
** Additionally, the following [[regional form]]s cannot be transferred out of HOME into any Generation VIII or IX game: {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Geodude}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Graveler}}, and {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Golem}}.
**Blitzle and Zebstrika have been announced to be added to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet with the release of [[The Indigo Disk]] DLC.
**{{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Minior}}, and {{p|Magearna}} are the only Pokémon that cannot currently be obtained in Pokémon HOME without transferring them from [[Pokémon Bank]].

No Guard (Ability)

'''No Guard''' (Japanese: '''ノーガード''' ''No Guard'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Prior to [[Generation V]], it was the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Machop}}'s [[evolution]]ary line.

==Effect==
===In battle===
All [[move]]s used by or against a Pokémon with this Ability cannot miss. It also allows Pokémon to be hit during the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Bounce}}, {{m|Dive}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Shadow Force}}, {{m|Sky Drop}}, and {{m|Phantom Force}}. It does not bypass [[type]] [[Type#Type effectiveness|immunities]].

A {{p|Tatsugiri}} hidden inside a {{p|Dondozo}}'s mouth via the {{a|Commander}} Ability is immune to the effects of No Guard.

In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, a Pokémon with No Guard can successfully hit a Pokémon that has used {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}, but only if it uses a move with less than 100% accuracy. The lower the initial accuracy of the move, the higher its chance of breaking through Protect or Detect. Thus, when used against Protect or Detect, moves that never miss (such as {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}) will always be blocked. [[One-hit knockout move]]s are exempted from this behavior and will be protected against. This battle mechanic was a bug, and was fixed in {{v2|Platinum}} so that most moves are blocked by Protect and Detect.

===Outside of battle===
Outside of battle, if a Pokémon with No Guard is in the first place in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]), the wild Pokémon encounter rate increases by 100%. It shares this property with {{a|Arena Trap}} and {{a|Illuminate}}.

* {{p|Kubfu}} had No Guard coded as its [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|hidden ability]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} versions 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 however it was removed in version 1.2.0. Kubfu was not legally obtainable in Scarlet and Violet during this period.

==In other games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers series]], No Guard causes the Pokémon to ignore both harmful and beneficial modifications to accuracy and evasiveness for both the target and itself. This prevents the Pokémon's own Concentrator and Clutch Performer [[IQ]] skills from working.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In {{g|UNITE}}, No Guard is {{p|Honedge}}'s and {{p|Doublade}}'s Ability. It increases the damage dealt and received by the user. After evolving into {{p|Aegislash}}, it becomes {{a|Stance Change}}.

'''Kubfu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダクマ''' ''Dakuma'') is a {{type|Fighting}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Urshifu}} when shown the scroll in one of the [[Towers of Two Fists]]. The {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Urshifu|form}} it evolves into depends on the tower it is trained in.
* Kubfu evolves into '''Single Strike Style''' Urshifu upon observing the scroll in the [[Tower of Darkness]]{{sup/8|SwSh}}, or when exposed to the [[Scroll of Darkness]]{{sup/9|SV}}.
* Kubfu evolves into '''Rapid Strike Style''' Urshifu upon observing the scroll in the [[Tower of Waters]]{{sup/8|SwSh}}, or when exposed to the [[Scroll of Waters]]{{sup/9|SV}}.

==Biology==
Kubfu is a small, bearlike {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its body is primarily dark gray, with a yellow snout and white patches of fur on its head and chest. The patch of fur on its forehead partially covers its black eyes, and has two black downturned eyebrows on top. Additionally, there are two white ribbons of fur located behind its head. Kubfu builds up power and fighting spirit by pulling on these ribbons. Its nose is black and it has a perpetual frown. It has black claws and toes, the latter of which are shaped like triangles. Its tail has a black, spiky appearance.

Kubfu works hard to train both body and mind, even if it suffers defeat. It has a unique organ that allows it to create "fighting energy" through special breathing techniques and intense focusing. Kubfu are known to live in mountains far away from [[Galar]], although they lived in the region at one point. According to historical texts, Kubfu used to help people on their travels, and they gradually naturalized to the lands they traveled to.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/kubfu/ Kubfu | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> It has been referred as the "secret armor" of the [[Master Dojo]]. The moves it masters by reading the scrolls in either of the Towers of Two Fists will determine which style it takes after evolving. While it can be timid, it can become more brave and confident once trained up.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
====Minor appearances====
In ''[[JN071|Leaping Toward the Dream!]]'', an image of a Kubfu was seen on {{Ash}}'s [[Rotom Phone]].

===Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
In ''[[TW08|The Gathering of Stars]]'', a Kubfu watched the {{pkmn|battle}} between [[Leon]] and [[Mustard]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Mustard Kubfu Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Kubfu in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Mustard's Kubfu}}
Kubfu first appeared in [[PASS32]]. It was the "secret armor" of the [[Master Dojo]], and was given to Trainers who complete the dojo's three trials. Despite this, Mustard decided to let it see the world alongside {{Casey}}, but she rejected the offer as she already had a full team. Mustard then allowed it to walk with {{Henry}} instead. Once Kubfu had finished its {{pkmn|training}} and evolved into {{p|Urshifu}}, it officially joined Henry's team.

==Trivia==
* Kubfu and its evolution were designed by [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/yusuke_omura/status/1280804410176622593 Tweet about designing Kubfu and Urshifu]</ref>
* Kubfu had {{a|No Guard}} coded as its [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|hidden ability]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} versions 1.0.0-1.1.0 however it was removed in version 1.2.0. Kubfu was never legally obtainable during this period as the games had not yet received {{g|HOME}} support.

===Origin===
Kubfu may be based on a {{wp|bear}} cub and a {{wp|Chinese martial arts|kung fu}} student. Its alternative name "secret armor" may be inspired by the magical armor owned by {{wp|King Arthur}} in ''{{wp|Historia Regum Britanniae}}'' or the ''{{wp|Roman de Brut}}''.

====Name origin====
Kubfu may be a combination of ''cub'' and ''kung fu''.

Dakuma may be a combination of 打 ''da'' (hit), 熊 ''kuma'' (bear), and 琢磨 ''takuma'' (cultivation of skill).

'''Detect''' (Japanese: '''みきり''' ''All-Seeing'') is a non-damaging {{type|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It is [[TM43]] in Generation II.

==Effect==
{{main|Protection}}
Detect protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage. This does not include damage at the end of a turn such as from [[weather]] or a [[status condition]].

Detect is an increased [[priority]] move that will go before most attacks in a turn. If the user goes last in the turn, the move will fail. The chance that Detect will succeed also drops each time the user successfully and consecutively uses {{m|Endure}}, any [[protection]] move that [[Protection#Moves that protect only the user|only affects the user]], {{m|Quick Guard}}, or {{m|Wide Guard}}.

Some moves will {{cat|moves that do damage through protection|do damage through Detect}}. Most damaging [[Z-Move]]s and [[Max Move]]s will only do 25% of their original damage, except {{m|G-Max One Blow}} and {{m|G-Max Rapid Flow}} which do full damage. {{cat|Moves that break protection}}, like {{m|Feint}}, will do their full damage and remove the effects of Detect. The Ability {{a|Unseen Fist}} allows [[contact]] moves to bypass Detect.

[[Status move]]s that are unaffected by Detect are [[Protection#Unprotectable moves|listed here]]. Generally, {{cat|moves that target the user}}, {{cat|moves that target the user and all allies}}, {{cat|moves that target all Pokémon}} (except {{m|Shadow Shed}} and {{m|Shadow Half}}), and [[entry hazard]] moves cannot be blocked by Detect.

===Generation II===
In this generation only, Detect will fail if the user is behind a {{m|substitute}}.

===Generation III===
In this generation only, the success rate is meant to have a lower bound of 1/8, but [[Protection#Generation III-IV|a bug]] causes it to become erratic afterwards instead.

Detect can be used as the second move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if {{m|Taunt}} was used in the previous turn.

===Generation IV===
In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} only, due to [[List of glitches (Generation IV)#Protection bypass glitch|a bug]], if an attack is given perfect accuracy through the effect of a move ({{m|Lock-On}}/{{m|Mind Reader}}), the weather ({{m|Thunder}} in [[rain]] or {{m|Blizzard}} in {{weather|hail}}), or an Ability ({{a|No Guard}}), it ignores protection with inverted accuracy. [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] moves are unaffected and will not hit through protection. This bug was fixed in Platinum.

===Generation V onwards===
If powered up by a [[Fightinium Z]] into Z-Detect, the user's {{stat|evasion}} rises one stage.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Fighting}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevss|Stad2}}|Allows user to completely evade attack. If used consecutively, its success rate decreases.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev2|GSC}}|Evades attack that turn. It may fail.}}

'''Heal Pulse''' (Japanese: '''いやしのはどう''' ''Healing Wave'') is a non-damaging {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
Heal Pulse restores up to 50% (75% if the user has {{a|Mega Launcher}}) of the target's maximum [[HP]]. It will fail if the target's HP stat is already full or if it is behind a {{m|Substitute}}.

Heal Pulse bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. It can hit non-adjacent targets in [[Triple Battle]]s.

If powered up by a [[Psychium Z]] into Z-Heal Pulse, all of the user's lowered stats are reset, and the target can be healed regardless of whether or not it is afflicted by {{m|Heal Block}}.

{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}} {{gameabbrev6|XYORAS}}|The user emits a healing pulse which restores the target's HP by up to half of its max HP.}}

'''Minun''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マイナン''' ''Minun'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it is considered to be a counterpart of {{p|Plusle}}.

==Biology==
Minun is a cream-colored bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with blue markings. It has a dot-like nose, and a cream-colored minus sign in the middle of its circular blue cheeks. It has long, flat ears that are mostly blue. Its limbs are stubby and digitless, and it has blue front paws. Its short tail is tipped with a blue minus sign.

Minun cares more for its teammates than itself, sending off showers of sparks when it cheers for them. When its partner is in trouble, it gives off increasing amounts of sparks. It can create electric pom-poms for cheering. Its electrical current promotes blood circulation and energizes its target. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas}}. However, it will hide under the eaves of houses when it rains due to its dislike of water.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* Minun shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its partner {{p|Plusle}}. They are both known as the Cheering Pokémon.
* Minun and Plusle share the same base stat total, although the stat distribution is different, with Plusle being more offense-oriented and Minun being more defense-oriented.
* Minun's first major appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}} was in episode 312, the same number as its position in the National Pokédex.
* Unused text in {{g|Colosseum}} suggests that a {{pkmn2|Shadow}} Minun was going to appear in the game.
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], there are several files for {{sbw|Unused content (SSBB)#Characters|unused playable characters}}. One of these files is named "Pra_Mai", leading some players to speculate that Plusle and Minun were considered to appear as a tag team, like {{sbw|Ice Climbers (SSBB)|Ice Climbers}}.

===Origin===
Minun appears to be based on a {{wp|cheerleading}} {{wp|mouse}}, {{wp|chipmunk}}, or {{wp|rabbit}}. It could also be the incarnation of a negative {{wp|electric charge}}.

====Name origin====
Minun may be derived from ''minus'', possibly in reference to negative electrical charge.
