'''Nintendo Switch Online''' (Japanese: '''Nintendo Switch Online''') is a service run by [[Nintendo]] that allows users to be matched up with other players and play games with each other, first launched on September 19, 2018. It is used by games for the [[Nintendo Switch]] family of systems and the [[Nintendo Switch 2]]. It is the successor to the [[Nintendo Network]] service. It is the first service by Nintendo that requires the user to pay a subscription fee in order to allow players to use online functionality with games, such as online multiplayer and user created content. The service also offers a selection of classic games to play, along with a selection of other benefits.

On October 25, 2021, the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack launched. This allows access to [[Nintendo 64]], {{wp|Sega Genesis}} and [[Game Boy Advance]] games, as well as access to the DLC for ''[[np:Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise|Animal Crossing: New Horizons]]'', ''[[smw:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', and ''[[ink:Octo Expansion|Splatoon 2]]'' for an additional fee.

On June 5, 2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade packs of ''[[zw:The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]'' and ''[[zw:The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition|The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom]]'' were added to the Expansion Pack, as well as access to select [[Nintendo GameCube]] games for Nintendo Switch 2 players.

==Cost==
Generally, a 7-day free trial can be used once for Nintendo Switch Online. After it expires, Nintendo occasionally restores access to the free trial to all players whose free trial has already expired. No free trial is offered for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.

All prices below are accurate as of November 21, 2025.

==Features==
===Friend Codes===
{{main|Friend Code}}
The Nintendo Switch Online service allocates a Friend Code to every user on the service, generated during the creation of the account. It is used to identify other players on online play along, albeit is not the only method unlike predecessors. This feature was also used for the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s online connectivity.

===Nintendo Classics===
Previous generations of Nintendo consoles have featured classic games via the [[Virtual Console]]. For the Nintendo Switch, this was replaced by apps for the console that included a growing library of NES and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] games, exclusively available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. The Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, launched October 25, 2021, added apps for [[Nintendo 64]] and {{wp|Sega Genesis}} games (for an additional fee). Both tiers of the subscription received new apps on February 8, 2023: [[Game Boy]] (including [[Game Boy Color]]) for the base service and [[Game Boy Advance]] for the Expansion Pack.

As of the release of the [[Nintendo Switch 2]] on June 5, 2025, games from the [[Nintendo GameCube]] have also become available to anyone with the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack and a Nintendo Switch 2 system. The service itself has also been rebranded into "''Nintendo Classics''", with each app receiving this rebranding as they receive new updates. All previous Nintendo Classics titles from Nintendo Switch are playable on Switch 2. Games from the {{wp|Virtual Boy}} will become available to anyone with the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack on both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 starting February 17, 2026.

:The ''Pokémon Stadium'' games cannot connect to the Game Boy games or the Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console games.

===Nintendo Music===
{{main|Nintendo Music}}
Launched on October 30, 2024, Nintendo Music is a music streaming app for Android and iOS that features songs from select Nintendo games. An active Nintendo Switch Online subscription is necessary to use it.

==Missions & Rewards==
Missions & Rewards were added on March 1st, 2022 within the Nintendo Switch Online app on the Nintendo Switch's HOME Menu. This feature gave Nintendo Switch Online subscribers a new method of earning Platinum Points (which previously could only be earned on the [[nw:My Nintendo|My Nintendo]] website) by completing missions, but also included a Rewards page where Platinum Points could be redeemed for exclusive icon elements for their Nintendo Switch profile. Rewards are only available for a limited-time distribution period; during this period, rewards will rotate on a weekly schedule. Previously available icon elements may become available once again at a later date.

There are three types of icon elements:
* Character elements, which cost [[File:My Nintendo Platinum Coin.png|20px|link=]] 10. Certain character elements come with a set background that cannot be changed, which prevents them from being used alongside background elements as well as the default Nintendo Switch background colors.
* Background elements, which cost [[File:My Nintendo Platinum Coin.png|20px|link=]] 5. Character elements appear in front of background elements. Background elements cannot be used without a character element.
* Frame elements, which cost [[File:My Nintendo Platinum Coin.png|20px|link=]] 5. Frame elements surround background and character elements. A selection of solid color frames are available by default and can be used alongside any icon element that was purchased with Platinum Points.

Icon elements cannot be used alongside other elements from different games. For example, a ''[[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]'' character element cannot be used together with a ''[[Detective Pikachu Returns]]'' background element. Icon elements can be redeemed in any region, with the exception of the ''[[wb:Mother 3|MOTHER3]]'' icon element set that was distributed from March 7, 2024 to March 13, 2024, which could only be redeemed by accounts that had their region set to Japan during the distribution period. Additionally, a new category of icon element called '''Play & Redeem''' was introduced on March 4, 2024, first used for the ''[[smw:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]]'' icon element set. Play & Redeem icon element sets require the user to play the corresponding software, sometimes on multiple days, in order to be eligible to redeem the icon elements.

===''Pokémon'' series icon elements===
Character elements that were previously made available are marked with an asterisk (*). Icon elements not in rotation from November 25, 2024 onwards were not named within the application—unofficial names for those elements are used below for convenience.

National Pokédex

2025-11-06T17:31:54Z

RandomizedKirbyTree47: /* Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire */

[[File:Pokédex Pt.png|thumb|200px|{{v2|Platinum}}'s National Pokédex mode]]
[[File:Pokédex GSC 2.png|thumb|Each new generation begins its numbering from the end of the last generation. {{p|Cyndaquil}}, at #155, is the fourth Pokémon introduced in Generation II.]]
The '''National Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|全国図鑑|ぜんこくずかん}}''' ''national illustrated encyclopedia'') is a [[Pokédex]] that has been upgraded with the '''National Mode''' (Japanese: '''全国版''' ''National Edition'') that records information on all Pokémon known to exist, instead of just ones native in a particular [[region]]. The National Pokédex is not available at the start of the games, but it can be unlocked by completing certain tasks. Beginning with [[Generation VII]], the National Pokédex is no longer typically included in the main series games, but it can be accessed through storage apps like [[Pokémon Bank]] (Version 1.3 and onward) and [[Pokémon HOME]].

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the equivalent of the National Pokédex order was known as '''Old Pokédex Mode''' (Japanese: ふるいずかんモード ''old-style encyclopedia mode''), while Johto's regional Pokédex order at the time was known as [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex Mode]] (Japanese: しんがたずかんモード ''new-style encyclopedia mode'').

The first 151 entries of the National Pokédex also doubles as the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].

==Comparison between generations==
{{main|List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number}}

In every generation, new Pokémon are added to the National Pokédex. The Pokémon numbers are as follows:

* {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}: #0001 {{p|Bulbasaur}} - #0151 {{p|Mew}}
* {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}: #0152 {{p|Chikorita}} - #0251 {{p|Celebi}}
* {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}: #0252 {{p|Treecko}} - #0386 {{p|Deoxys}}
* {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}}: #0387 {{p|Turtwig}} - #0493 {{p|Arceus}}
* {{cat|Generation V Pokémon}}: #0494 {{p|Victini}} - #0649 {{p|Genesect}}
* {{cat|Generation VI Pokémon}}: #0650 {{p|Chespin}} - #0721 {{p|Volcanion}}
* {{cat|Generation VII Pokémon}}: #0722 {{p|Rowlet}} - #0809 {{p|Melmetal}}
* {{cat|Generation VIII Pokémon}}: #0810 {{p|Grookey}} - #0905 {{p|Enamorus}}
* {{cat|Generation IX Pokémon}}: #0906 {{p|Sprigatito}} - #1025 {{p|Pecharunt}}

==In the core series games==
===[[Generation II]]===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the [[Pokédex]] lists Pokémon by their [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]] order (Johto's [[regional Pokédex]]) by default. The player has the option to change it to the Old Pokédex order, which is available from the beginning.

Additionally, Old Pokédex numbers are used throughout the Generation II games.

===[[Generation III]]===
[[Generation III]] introduced the term "National Pokédex".

====Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the [[Pokédex]] is upgraded with the National Mode after the game trades with FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald, whether or not Ruby or Sapphire is receiving a Pokémon not in the Hoenn Dex.

Trading with [[Pokémon Colosseum]] or {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}} does not unlock the National Pokédex.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player has 60 or more {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} owned in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]], has visited One Island, and has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], upon talking to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his lab]] in [[Pallet Town]], he will upgrade both the player's and {{ga|Blue}}'s [[Pokédex]]es with the National Mode.

After obtaining the National Pokédex, the player can obtain Pokémon introduced in {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Generations II}} and {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|III}} via [[trade]] and [[Evolution]]. This allows [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|Generation I Pokémon to evolve into their Generation II forms]] (such as {{p|Golbat}} being able to evolve into {{p|Crobat}}); prior to obtaining the National Pokédex, these Pokémon will try to evolve but fail. However, the player cannot trade with {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} until they have delivered the {{i|Ruby}} and {{i|Sapphire}} to [[Celio]] in the [[Pokémon Network Center]] on [[One Island]] to put into the Network Machine.

====Pokémon Emerald====
In {{game|Emerald}}, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] for the first time, when they exit their house in [[Littleroot Town]] after resuming their game, [[Professor Birch]] and {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}} will be waiting for the player. Birch will escort the two of them to his lab, where he will upgrade both of their [[Pokédex]]es with the National Mode.

After obtaining the National Pokédex, the player unlocks the ability to trade with FireRed, LeafGreen and XD: Gale of Darkness (and can also trade for [[Pokémon Egg|Egg]]s) if that game has unlocked the ability to trade with Emerald. After obtaining the National Pokédex, if the player has collected all 200 non-{{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation III|Hoenn Pokédex]], Birch will offer the player their choice of one of the [[Johto first partner Pokémon]].

===[[Generation IV]]===
====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, if the player has seen the first 150 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]], they can obtain the National Pokédex. In {{game|Platinum}}, if the player has seen all 210 Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|expanded Sinnoh Pokédex]], they can obtain the National Pokédex. If the player has met the appropriate condition for that game and talks to [[Professor Rowan]] in his lab in [[Sandgem Town]], [[Professor Oak]] will arrive and upgrade the player's [[Pokédex]] with the National Mode.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], when the player attempts to board the [[S.S. Aqua]] for the first time, [[Professor Oak]] will appear and upgrade the player's [[Pokédex]] with the National Mode.

===[[Generation V]]===
====Pokémon Black and White====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, after the player defeats [[Ghetsis]] at [[N's Castle]] and exits their house in [[Nuvema Town]] after resuming the game, [[Cedric Juniper]] will approach the player, {{ga|Bianca}}, and [[Cheren]], then upgrade their [[Pokédex]]es with the National Mode.

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
In {{B2W2}}, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] and resumes the game from their house in [[Aspertia City]], [[Cedric Juniper]] will visit the player's house and upgrade their [[Pokédex]] with the National Mode.

===[[Generation VI]]===
====Pokémon X and Y====
In {{g|X and Y}}, after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], upon entering {{DL|North Boulevard|Lumiose Station}}, [[Dexio]] will upgrade the player's [[Pokédex]] with the National Pokédex.

====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the player has defeated or {{pkmn2|caught}} the [[super-ancient Pokémon]], if they talk to [[Professor Birch]] in his lab in [[Littleroot Town]], he will upgrade the player's [[Pokédex]] with the National Pokédex.

Unlike most games, non-[[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|native]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are obtainable without the National Pokédex; they begin appearing as soon as the player has met the prerequisites to obtain the National Pokédex, regardless of whether they actually have it. Using the [[PokéNav Plus]] to attempt to view their Pokédex entries will result in an entry of red text saying that no information is available on the Pokémon, and the areas found display will show "No reported sightings" over the map.

===[[Generation VII]]===
====Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon====
[[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] do not include the National Pokédex. Pokémon not in the Alola Pokédex do not display any Pokédex number in-game. All Pokémon introduced before Generation VII, along with Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon can be used in all four games, and Pokémon introduced in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon can be used in those games, but not in Pokémon Sun and Moon.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
As [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] are remakes of [[Generation I]] and only feature the first 151 Pokémon, plus {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}, the National Pokédex is absent. In addition, only the aforementioned Pokémon can be used in game, despite prior games allowing for the use of all Pokémon introduced prior to or introduced in the specified game.

Meltan and Melmetal are registered as #152 and #153 in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! expansion|Kanto Pokédex}}, respectively. However, their National Pokédex numbers, #808 and #809, can be seen when using the [[stats judge|judge function]].

===[[Generation VIII]]===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
[[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] do not include the National Pokédex. Only Pokémon in the Galar Pokédex, Isle of Armor Pokédex, Crown Tundra Pokédex, and a select few other Pokémon can be used in Pokémon Sword and Shield. Pokémon not in the Galar Pokédex do not display any Pokédex number in-game.

====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], the National Pokédex includes all 493 Pokémon (excluding [[regional form|regional forms]]), introduced between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation IV]]. Once the player has reached Eterna City and seen all of the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] (excluding {{p|Manaphy}}), the player can talk to [[Professor Rowan]] in his lab in [[Sandgem Town]] to have [[Professor Oak]] arrive and upgrade the player's [[Pokédex]] with the National Mode.

====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
[[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] does not include the National Pokédex. Only Pokémon in the Hisui Pokédex (excluding some [[regional form]]s) can be used in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

===[[Generation IX]]===
====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
[[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] do not include the National Pokédex. Only Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex, the Kitakami Pokédex, the Blueberry Pokédex, and a select few other Pokémon can be used in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Pokémon not in the Paldea Pokédex, the Kitakami Pokédex, or the Blueberry Pokédex do not display any Pokédex number in-game.

====Pokémon Legends: Z-A====
[[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] does not include the National Pokédex. Only [[List of Pokémon by Lumiose Pokédex number|some Pokémon]] can be used in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire===
In [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]], if a game with the National Pokédex is used with Box, Box's [[Pokédex]] Mode will be upgraded to the National Mode. As FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald cannot link with Box until after obtaining the National Dex, using one of them will therefore unlock National Mode.

===Pokémon Bank===
As part of its version 1.3 update to be compatible with [[Generation VII]], a National Pokédex feature was also added to [[Pokémon Bank]]. Bank's National Pokédex is able to display Pokédex entries from any game between [[Pokémon X and Y]] and [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. The Pokédex is updated based on the data of any game that is used to connect to Pokémon Bank.

The five Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] have a blank Pokédex entry, but other statistics such as height and weight still appear.

Pokémon Bank's National Pokédex has an extensive search feature, including the ability to filter Pokémon by the games they are naturally available in (not counting the possibility of obtaining a Pokémon by breeding or evolving), as well as the ability to show 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 2 and White 2|Unova]], [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos]] (divided into Central, Coastal, and Mountain), [[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|Sun and Moon]] and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]) Pokédex orders.

===Pokémon HOME===
[[Pokémon HOME]] includes the full National Pokédex. It includes every Pokédex description since [[Pokémon X and Y]], for each Pokémon. Completing the National Pokédex by registering every Pokémon (including all [[Mythical Pokémon]]) up to {{p|Eternatus}} in HOME [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII#Magearna|rewards]] the player with an {{form|Magearna|Original Color}} {{p|Magearna}}, a form which cannot be obtained otherwise.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], the Pokémon are listed by their National Pokédex number. This applies to the list of Pokémon recruited by the player, and also to the list of Pokémon available when the player is buying Friend Areas from Wigglytuff.

===Pokémon Pinball===
In [[Pokémon Pinball]], the Pokédex lists Pokémon ordered by their [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex number]] (which is the same as their National Pokédex number).

===Pokémon Trading Card Game series===
In {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, all Pokémon cards have their [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex number]] (which is the same as their National Pokédex number).

In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]], almost all Pokémon cards are still native from Kanto, and display their Kanto Pokédex number. The only exceptions are three new [[Generation II]] Pokémon cards: {{OBP|Togepi|Wizards Promo 30}}, {{OBP|Marill|Wizards Promo 29}}, and {{TCG ID|Pokémon Card GB2|Lugia|promo}}. They display their Old Pokédex number (175, 183, and 249, respectively).

===Pokémon Tetris===
In [[Pokémon Tetris]], the Pokédex lists Pokémon ordered by their Old Pokédex number (later known as the National Pokédex).

===Pokémon Trozei series===
In [[Pokémon Trozei!]] and {{pkmn|Battle Trozei}}, the {{OBP|Pokémon List|Trozei}} displays the Pokémon listed in the National Pokédex order by default.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS282|Going Green]]'', it was revealed that {{adv|Professor Oak}} had requested the Pokédexes back from {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} in order to upgrade them to National Pokédexes so that they could collect data from other [[region]]s. This was accomplished in ''[[PS287|Secrets from Sneasel]]'', as Oak transferred the data from the old Pokédexes into new ones and inserted a special computer chip into each of them.

===={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}====
In ''[[PASS30|Oh My!! The Disappearance of Henry]]'', {{Casey}} was given access to [[Macro Cosmos]]'s National Pokédex database so she could help track down the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield|Shield]] following their disappearance at the end of the first showdown against {{p|Eternatus}}. Knowing the artifacts had come into contact with Eternatus's poison, Casey was able to find signs of the same poison at the [[Isle of Armor]] and the [[Crown Tundra]].

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
In ''[[DPAS6|Hareta's Future]]'', [[Mitsumi]] gave [[Hareta]] an upgraded National Pokédex.

==Trivia==
* In Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VI}}, it is possible to complete the National Pokédex (Kanto Pokédex in Generation I) entirely with Pokémon obtained in the [[core series]] games of the current generation.
** In Generations {{gen|II}}, {{gen|IV}} and {{gen|V}}, completing the National Pokédex (Old Pokédex in Generation II) requires Pokémon obtained in games from previous generations or events.
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, completing the National Pokédex was not possible until the release of [[Pokémon Colosseum]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]] since there was no feature to [[transfer]] Pokémon from earlier generations. Once {{game|Emerald}} was released, Colosseum was not necessary anymore to complete the National Pokédex.
** In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]], completing the National Pokédex with no [[event Pokémon|event-only Pokémon]] was not possible prior to the release of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]. This requires catching {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}, which were event-only in Black and White, but are normally available in Black 2 and White 2.
* The numbers assigned to each Pokémon in the National Pokédex might bear symbolic meanings:
** Numbers 0025 and 0052, assigned to {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Meowth}}, may reflect the natural antagonism between mice and cats, which inspired the designs of these Pokémon.
** {{p|Voltorb}}’s number 0100 could reference the {{wp|tsukumogami}}, a Japanese folklore concept where tools are believed to gain consciousness after 100 years.
** According to [[Nob Ogasawara]], {{p|Lickitung}}’s number, 0108, can be pronounced as "hyakuhachi," rhyming with "shakuhachi," a term in Japanese slang that can imply "blow job."
** The trios of 0124 {{p|Jynx}}, 0125 {{p|Electabuzz}}, and 0126 {{p|Magmar}}; 0134 {{p|Vaporeon}}, 0135 {{p|Jolteon}}, and 0136 {{p|Flareon}}; and 0144 {{p|Articuno}}, 0145 {{p|Zapdos}}, and 0146 {{p|Moltres}} all appear in the Pokédex at intervals of ten, repeating the pattern of {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Fire}} types (with {{t|Water}} Vaporeon as the exception).
** {{p|Mew}}’s number is 0151, placed immediately after {{p|Mewtwo}}’s, despite being its protoplast, likely because Mew was meant to be a mythical Pokémon existing only in lore before it was added at the last stage of game production.
** {{p|Archeops}}'s number, 0567, which also equals its base stat total, likely references the {{wp|Dewey Decimal}} system, where 567.9 represents feathered dinosaurs.

The '''Super Mario Wiki''' is a collaborative knowledge-base about everything in the ''{{smw|Mario (franchise)|Mario}}'', ''{{smw|Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong}}'', ''{{smw|Wario (franchise)|Wario}}'', and ''{{smw|Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi}}'' universe. It is driven by a fan-based community and runs on a wiki (meaning any registered user can edit and create articles). It also extensively covers ''Mario''-related {{smw|Category:Crossover Games|crossovers}}, including the ''{{smw|Category:Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.}}'' series, and features some ''{{smw|Pokémon|Pokémon}}'' content stemming from these crossovers (mostly related to ''Smash'').

Super Mario Wiki co-founded the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]] with [[Bulbapedia]] and [[Zelda Wiki]], a network that comprises fan-run wikis from several Nintendo franchises.

==History==
The website was created on August 12, 2005 by Stephen Shinn (who goes by Porplemontage, the namesake of his original site, Porplemontage Studios), who received help from his colleague AgentSeethroo. It was originally intended to be a part of an alliance of ''Mario''-related wikis called the "Wiki Alliance," and content from the wiki was moved to the DKWiki (which covered ''Donkey Kong'') and Wario Wiki, both hosted by Porplemontage. This project was cancelled in 2007, though, and all content returned to the Super Mario Wiki.

In early 2010, Porplemontage received a call for an affiliation by [[User:Archaic|Archaic]] and {{zw|User:GoldenChaos|Jess Rappaport}}. With interest in the alliance, the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance was formed between the three webmasters.

Due to heightened inactivity, [[Donkey Kong Wiki]], a NIWA wiki that had joined back in 2010, merged with Super Mario Wiki; Donkey Kong Wiki's URL now redirects to Super Mario Wiki.

==Content==
===Articles===
The wiki covers various topics surrounding the Mario series: some of which include the games, characters, locations, TV series, movies, and comics. Anyone can sign-up and help edit articles, and users gain more abilities one week after signing up, such as the ability to create their userpage and having the ability to move pages. This is to help prevent new users from making excessive mistakes and have a chance to learn about the policies of the site before they make mistakes.

===Staff===
The administration of the wiki; as administration is on other wikis such as [[Bulbapedia]], is considered the "house-keeping" branch of the wiki as its members are given tools to help with its maintenance. Members of the administrative team either belong to the Patroller, Administrator, and Bureaucrat user group: Patrollers have basic administrative permissions that allow them to combat malicious editors, Administrators have advanced permissions that allow them to delete pages and hide revisions, and Bureaucrats are able to rename members and assign administrative positions to other members.

===Community===
The wiki has a news project entitled {{smw|The 'Shroom:Main Page|The 'Shroom}}, which has seen new editions every month since January 2007. Its coverage extends to the topics that are covered on the wiki, the website and its community, and even other topics from the perspective of the members of the website; it features news sections, fan-made fictional news pieces, games and activities, artwork and music, and reviews and opinion pieces. The project has an entirely separate staff department dedicated to its upkeep and runs projects in conjunction with the other staff departments and even other websites. Elections are held every year to determine who directs the project and whose plans for it get implemented.

The wiki is also a member and founder of {{smw|MarioWiki:Mushroom World Encyclopedia|Mushroom World Encyclopedia}}, a project similar to [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]] that was founded in 2014 with three members in three different languages; German, Italian, and English.

==Super Mario Boards==
The [http://www.marioboards.com/ Super Mario Boards] is the official forum of the Super Mario Wiki and is the center of its community. In addition to discussion about the Super Mario Wiki and the ''Mario''-series, other activities such as games and off-topic discussions take place as well. Annually, the {{smw|MarioWiki:Anniversary|Super Mario Wiki's anniversary}} is celebrated with an Awards show on the forum and members sign up to make presentations for each award. The 'Shroom also has a board here where public discussions about the project take place and each edition gets rated and receives feedback from the readers.

Appendix:Fan terminology

2024-05-04T00:38:35Z

{| style="float:right"
| __TOC__
|}

The '''Pokémon metagame''' has a wide range of '''fanmade terminology''' for various aspects of the games. These are colloquial terms originating from unofficial sources, and are not found within the games themselves. However, some terms originally coined by the fandom have been used officially, such as [[Eeveelution]] and {{Shiny}}; these terms are not listed here.

==Pokémon terms==
===Counterparts===
A set of two [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] and their evolutionary families, each found in a different game, sometimes referred to as '''parallels'''. These counterparts may be identified by commonalities such as typing, [[base stats]], evolution method, and the locations where these Pokémon may be found. The term may also be used to describe Pokémon that are more common in one game version than another, as well as Pokémon that are only exclusive in a single pair of games.

===Convergent form/Convergent Pokémon===
{{main|Ecologically similar Pokémon}}
Fan terms for Pokémon which resemble another species without being related biologically. These refer to the {{p|Wiglett}}, {{p|Toedscool}}, and {{p|Poltchageist}} lines, whose designs are based on the {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, and {{p|Sinistea}} lines, respectively. The term is derived from the real-world phenomenon of {{wp|convergent evolution}}. Alternatively, some fans call them "regional fakes" as this concept resembles previously introduced [[regional form]]s.

===Early-route Pokémon===
A Pokémon found in the first few routes of the game. These can be divided into:
* Early-route Pokémon that are based on mammals that are either {{t|Normal}} or {{t|Dark}} types: {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Patrat}}, {{p|Lillipup}}, {{p|Purrloin}}, {{p|Bunnelby}}, {{p|Yungoos}}, {{p|Skwovet}}, {{p|Nickit}}, {{p|Wooloo}}, {{p|Lechonk}}, and {{p|Tandemaus}};
* Early-route {{type|Flying}} bird Pokémon: {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Spearow}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Pidove}}, {{p|Fletchling}}, {{p|Pikipek}}, {{p|Rookidee}}, {{p|Squawkabilly}}, and {{p|Wattrel}};
* Early-route {{type|Bug}}s: {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Sewaddle}}, {{p|Venipede}}, {{p|Scatterbug}}, {{p|Grubbin}}, {{p|Cutiefly}}, {{p|Blipbug}}, {{p|Tarountula}}, and {{p|Nymble}}.

===Electric rodents===
{{main|Electric rodents}}
[[File:Gen VIII Electric Mice Artwork.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Artwork of the pre-Generation IX electric rodents and {{p|Mimikyu}}]]
A group of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon based on {{wp|rodent}}s, consisting of {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}} (sometimes omitted), {{p|Pichu}} (sometimes omitted), {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Emolga}}, {{p|Dedenne}}, {{p|Togedemaru}}, {{p|Morpeko}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, {{p|Pawmo}}, and {{p|Pawmot}}. Design-wise, all of them have electric sacs on their cheeks. This group is also referred to as the '''Pikachu family''', '''Pikachu clones''', or '''Pikaclones'''. An equivalent term used within the Japanese fandom is '''{{ruby|電気袋組|でんきぶくろぐみ}}''' ''Electric Pouch Group''.
{{left clear}}

===Elemental monkeys===
{{main|Elemental monkeys}}
{{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Simisear}}, and {{p|Simipour}}. The name is derived from the fact that all of them are based on monkeys and have different types ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}} respectively). They also share resemblance to [[first partner Pokémon]].

===Game mascot===
{{main|Game mascot}}
A Pokémon that appears on the boxart of one of the [[Pokémon games]] in the [[core series]]. If it is a [[Legendary Pokémon]], it is also referred to as a '''box art legendary'''.

===''Kasekimera''===
{{main|Fossil#Generation VIII|Fossil → Generation VIII}}
(Japanese: '''カセキメラ''' ''Kasekimera'') is used within the Japanese fandom to collectively refer to Fossil Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]]: {{p|Dracozolt}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, {{p|Dracovish}}, and {{p|Arctovish}}. The term is derived from the Japanese word 化石 ''kaseki'' (fossil) and the English word ''{{wp|Chimera (paleontology)|chimera}}''.

</div>
A list in the data since {{g|Sun and Moon}}, named "sublegend" in the game code, grouped the [[Ultra Beast]]s with all of the sub-Legendary Pokémon, despite them not being Legendary Pokémon. This grouping continued until {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, in which Ultra Beasts are no longer grouped under this "sublegend" list.

Legendary Pokémon that are not sub-Legendary Pokémon are officially known as [[Special Pokémon]].

===Type triangle===
A trio of types where one beats another and loses to another, such as {{t|Water}}-{{t|Grass}}-{{t|Fire}} or {{t|Dark}}-{{t|Fighting}}-{{t|Psychic}}, notably used for [[first partner Pokémon]]. Both the {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Ghost}} types can create type triangles by themselves only. {{t|Normal}}-type is the only type that isn't super effective against any type, but weak against the Fighting type. All single type triangles go as follows:

==Fan terms==

===Dexit===
A term referring to the controversy surrounding [[Game Freak]]'s announcement that some Pokémon would not be usable in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Derives from a portmanteau of "[[Pokédex]]" and "{{wp|Brexit}}", a debate between {{wp|United Kingdom|UK}} citizens concerning whether the UK (which is the basis of Galar, the setting of Sword and Shield) should leave the {{wp|European Union}}.

===Genwunner===
A pejorative term used to describe fans who dislike elements of the Pokémon franchise released after [[Generation I]] (and, to a lesser extent, [[Generation II]]). A corruption of "Generation One". Originated from the {{wp|Transformers}} fandom's term of "Geewun", where some fans have a similar stance on their franchise. However, fanon terms relating to other generations in the franchise (such as Generations III or IV) are less often used.

===Pokégirl===
A term used to refer to any female character in the Pokémon franchise. Derives from a portmanteau of "Pokémon" and "girl".

==Game terms==
===Boss===
The general concept of a {{wp|Boss (video gaming)|boss}} in video games may refer to special, strong opponents who must be defeated to obtain an important reward or advance past a particular point in the game. In the Pokémon games, there are various figures who may fit this description:
* Core games
** [[Gym Leader]]s: these are characters the player explicitly has to defeat if they wish to reach the Elite Four. Oftentimes, defeating a particular Gym Leader is also required for the player to advance past certain obstacles, especially those that require the use of an [[HM]].
** [[Elite Four]]: the "point" of the [[core series]] games is generally to beat the Elite Four, who will be stronger than any other Trainers the player has faced previously.
** {{pkmn|Champion}}: after beating the Elite Four, the player must also defeat the region's Champion in order to be allowed to enter the [[Hall of Fame]].
** [[Rival]]s: the player will often cross paths with a rival character, and usually they must face off with this character one last time before being able to face the Elite Four.
** [[Villainous team|Team]] leaders: the core games (and many [[spin-off Pokémon games|spin-offs]]) include villainous teams who the player will frequently cross paths with. In the course of the game, the player will eventually have to defeat various high-ranking members of these teams and ultimately their leader.
** {{tc|Tower Tycoon}}s, [[Frontier Brain]]s, {{tc|Subway Boss}}es, {{tc|Boss Trainer}}s, {{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s and {{tc|Battle Legend}}s: these are the leaders of certain special [[Battle facility|battle facilities]] presented as an optional challenge once the player has beaten the Champion. Defeating them usually grants the player a [[Trainer Card level|special achievement]].
** [[Legendary Pokémon]]: the player will encounter these later in the game, usually resulting in a boss battle, unless the player has a [[Master Ball]]. Legendary Pokémon are hard to fight because of their generally large base stats. {{p|Eternatus|Eternamax Eternatus}}, fits the traditional "boss" terminology, as it has the highest base stats out of any Pokémon and is not obtainable in battle.
** [[Totem Pokémon]] are encountered at the end of every trial throughout the [[island challenge]], serving as the boss of each trial.
** [[Max Raid Battle]]s are co-op battles with a [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, similar to a traditional boss battles as they are fought at various intervals throughout the game.
** [[Noble Pokémon]], Origin Forme {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}}, and {{ga|Arceus}} are encountered in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and need to be quelled through throwing [[balms]] at them (while optional, periodic battling makes this easier), this acts similar to a traditional RPG boss fight.
** [[Titan Pokémon]], [[Starmobile]]s, {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} the {{p|Ursaluna|Bloodmoon Ursaluna}}, {{p|Ogerpon}}, {{p|Terapagos}} and {{p|Pecharunt}} are encountered and possess larger health bars similar to how boss health bars are depicted in most games and in most cases, also possess a title right after their name, such as "Terapagos, the Indigo Disk".
* Side games
** Pregymleader [[Justy]]: Justy is the leader of the [[Prestige Precept Center|Pre Gym]] in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}.
** {{tc|Area Leader}}s and {{tc|Mt BtlMaster}}: these are the heads of different [[Mt. Battle]] areas in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}.
** {{tc|Colosseum Leader}}s, {{tc|Colosseum Master}}s, and the [[Mysterial|Pokétopia Master]]: these are the heads of {{OBP|Colosseum|Pokétopia}}s in {{g|Battle Revolution}}.
* Spin-offs
**The {{g|Mystery Dungeon series}} has various boss characters at different points in the story:
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Bosses|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Bosses|Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Bosses|Gates to Infinity → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon|Bosses|Super Mystery Dungeon → Bosses}}
**[[Shadow Mewtwo]]: the opponent in the final battle of the storyline of [[Pokkén Tournament]]
**{{g|Magikarp Jump}} uses the term "boss" to refer one in every five opponents.

===Collection terms===
====Living Pokédex====
{{main|Living Pokédex}}
Having a Pokémon of every species (available in that game) in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] at the same time.

====Legitimate====
A Pokémon or item obtained without [[cheating]] or intentional [[glitch]] use. Typically this refers to a Pokémon or item obtained through normal gameplay, without any third party modifications to the game's ROM or RAM.
Pokémon obtained via {{DL|Pseudorandom number generation|RNG Abuse}}, or via bugs that the player would run into naturally during normal gameplay, (Gen 3's [[List_of_glitches_(Generation_III)#Roaming_Pok.C3.A9mon_IV_bug|Roamer IV bug]] for example), are still typically considered legitimate as the game would generate those Pokémon within the bounds of what was possible to obtain naturally, in an unmodified instance of the game.
*Note that Legitimate does not inherently mean [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]], it is possible to encounter Pokémon during normal gameplay that have otherwise impossible attributes, and the [[The Pokémon Company]] would consider unauthorized.
** 1★ [[Wild_Area_News/2020#April_28_to_May_11.2C_2020|Wild Area News]] {{p|Drilbur}} with {{m|Hydro Pump}} is an example of a Pokémon that was legitimately obtainable but considered [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Illegal|Illegal]], as it was programmed with a [[Game move errors|game move error]]. The game does not permit its use online nor official tournaments, and several hours after the mistake was discovered [[GameFreak]] had fixed the erroneous Wild Area News data to replace Hydro Pump with the correct move, {{m|Scratch}}.
** These situations are typically handled case-by-case. As a counter example, the 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]] [[Female]] {{p|Indeedee}} with the error move {{m|Trick Room}} is not blocked from online use, and in early December 2022 even saw prior restrictions removed, permitting raids with the erroneous move to be hosted online to other players, and later patched the game to allow Female Indeedee to learn Trick Room via [[TM]]. In a situation like this, it could be argued the developers consider this error to be both [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]] and Legitimate, despite the similar circumstances to the aforementioned Drilbur with Hydro Pump.
*Additionally, the state of the savefile itself is generally not taken into account when determining the legitimacy of an individual Pokémon. Even if the savefile is in an unnatural state via glitches, cheats, save editing, etc., if the generation/encounter conditions of a Pokémon are unaffected, a savefile in an unnatural state can still produce Legal and Legitimate Pokémon.
**As an example, using a glitch that warps the player to an area early, but does not alter the encounter conditions of Pokémon found in that area, would generate Pokémon in an identical manner to a player who arrived in that area under normal gameplay conditions.

=====Illegitimate=====
A Pokémon or item obtained via [[cheating]] or intentional [[glitch]] use. Typically this refers to a Pokémon or item generated via any third party modifications to the game's ROM or RAM, or with the use of intentional glitches to drastically alter the game into a state where it produces Pokémon or items in a way it would never be able to during the course of normal gameplay.
* This term may also be used to refer to {{pkmn2|event}} Pokémon generated outside of their typical distribution periods or methods via glitches, [[Arbitrary code execution]], [[Wonder Card]] injection, or other exploits such as the [https://pkmnclassic.net/ DNS Exploit].
**Contrary to the above, several event Pokémon are programmed as in-game static encounters or {{pkmn2|gift}}s accessible via activating an in-game event or event-exclusive location (such as [[Birth Island]]'s {{p|Deoxys}} or [[Faraway Island]]'s {{p|Mew}}), rather than generated directly by a Wonder Card. It could be argued that if an encounter is accessed via warp glitches, (on a game version/language the {{tt|encounter was legitimately obtainable in|This does not apply to events that were programmed into the game, but were never distributed, such Arceus event in the Hall of Origin in Pokémon Platinum, as those will always be Illegal and Illegitimate if accessed via any method}}, i.e. Faraway Island's Mew is only legitimately accessible on Japanese language copies of Pokémon Emerald, accessing it on an English copy of Emerald would result in an [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Illegal|Illegal]] Mew), that since the encounter itself is unmodified and available in the base game, the Pokémon itself could be considered both [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]] and/or [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legitimate|Legitimate]] {{tt|even if the savefile itself is in an unnatural state.|This is disputed within the community, as some consider any Pokémon encountered on a savefile in an unnatural state to be Illegitimate, judging the legitimacy of the state of the savefile rather than judging the legitimacy of individual Pokémon contained within.}}
* Illegitimate Pokémon and items are not limited to just those produced via cheating using third party tools, as Pokémon or items generated directly via [[Cloning glitches]] or Arbitrary code execution would still fall into this category, even if the result would be considered [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]].

=====Legal=====
A Pokémon or item in a state that is possible to achieve through normal gameplay. This means that regardless of what method was used to obtain it, one could obtain this Pokémon in its current state without [[cheating]] or intentional [[glitch]] use.
*Note that this is not inherently the same as [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legitimate|Legitimate]]. While most Legitimate Pokémon are also Legal, this term only refers to the current state of the Pokémon and whether it could be theoretically obtained in that state through normal gameplay. A Pokémon may still be Legal even if it was obtained through the use of third party modifications, cheats, glitches, etc.

=====Illegal=====
A Pokémon or item in a state that is typically impossible to achieve through normal gameplay, and/or is disallowed by [[The Pokémon Company]]. This means that regardless of what method was used to obtain it, this Pokémon has at least one value that could only be obtained via [[cheating]], intentional [[glitch]] use, or via an oversight by the developers of the game that permitted it to be obtained.
* Note that a Pokémon can still be illegal even if permitted to be used online, having not been detected by the server's [[Cheating#Cheat_prevention_in_the_Pok.C3.A9mon_games|anti-cheat detection]], as the term refers to the Pokémon itself being in an unobtainable state, not necessarily whether it is detected by the game's anti-cheat.
**{{Shiny}} {{p|Keldeo}} is an example of a Pokémon that is illegal but remains usable online. It has never been obtainable in-game, nor distributed as an [[Event Pokémon]] in its Shiny form. Despite being a [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Shiny-locked|Shiny-locked]] species, Shiny Keldeo is not detected by any anti-cheat in [[Generation V]] through [[Generation VIII]].
* It is also possible for illegal Pokémon or items to be obtained, or even generated by players who are not [[cheating]], having only interacted with the game via legitimate means, as a result of interference by other cheating players.
** One such instance would be [[breeding]] using a parent Pokémon that has an impossible combination of [[Poké Ball]] and [[species]], obtained via [[trade]] from a cheating player. A {{p|Skeledirge}} in a [[Beast Ball]] for example, is currently an impossible combination due to Skeledirge being unavailable to be captured in the wild. If bred, an illegal {{p|Fuecoco}} {{pkmn|Egg}} would be produced, inheriting the Beast Ball from the illegal parent.
** Another instance would be a player joining a [[List_of_glitches_(Generation_VIII)#Hacked_Max_Raids|hacked Max Raid]] via [[Y-Comm]], (prior to Sword and Shield v1.2.1), and then catching the resulting illegal Pokémon, or receiving unobtainable item as a reward for defeating it. As a result, Pokémon and items that were impossible to receive via trade due to anti-cheat detection were made possible to obtain on an unmodified savefile, as the Pokémon and items are generated client-side by the non-cheating participant's game.

====Untouched====
A Pokémon that is in the same state as it was obtained in. Specifically, it has gained no [[experience]], [[level]]s, {{EV}}s, or [[Ribbon]]s, had none of its [[move]]s changed or reordered, and has not [[Evolution|evolved]], gained [[Pokérus]], or had its pre-existing Pokérus become inactive. Commonly used to refer to [[event Pokémon]] and in-game [[gift Pokémon]].

====Balltism====
A term used by collectors to describe catching Pokémon with a specific type of [[Poké Ball]]. Often this involves a desire to have the Ball's color scheme, thematic properties, or release animation align with the Pokémon it contains, as well as unique or unlikely combinations being valued, such as Pokémon obtained in [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Apriball|Apriball]]s, or non-[[Ultra Beast]] species being obtained in [[Beast Ball]]s, (despite the drastically lower [[catch rate]] when used on other species).

Likely a portmanteau of "Ball" and either "Elitism" or "Autism"; sometimes used as a pejorative term in reference to one's obsession with obtaining a given Pokémon in a specific type of Ball, or devaluing Pokémon deemed to be in a "non-matching" type of Ball.

On April 24, 2021, the merchandise line "BALL FREAK", which prominently featured the concept of matching Pokémon and Poké Balls of similar style/coloration, released on the Japanese Pokémon Center website,<ref>https://www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/2021/04/210409_to01.html</ref> however this terminology hasn't appeared in any other media. It's currently unclear if [[The Pokémon Company]] considers "ball freak" an official term for the concept, or if it was only intended for use as a title for the specific merchandise line.

===Game acronyms===
Most of the Pokémon games come in pairs and are often followed by enhanced versions, hence Pokémon fans call them collectively with the first letters of their names.

* '''RGBY''': {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}. Sometimes only '''RBY''', omitting the Japanese exclusive Pokémon Green in favor of its international release, Pokémon Blue.
* '''GSC''': {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}
* '''RSE''': {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}
* '''FRLG''': {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}
* '''DPPt''': {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}
* '''HGSS''': {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}
* '''BW''': {{game|Black and White|s}}
* '''B2W2''': {{B2W2}}. Sometimes '''BW2'''.
* '''XY''': {{g|X and Y}}
* '''ORAS''': {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}
* '''PoGO''': {{g|GO}}
* '''SMUSUM''': {{game4|SMUSUM}}. Can be split respectively into '''SM''' for Sun and Moon, and '''USUM''' or '''USM''' for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Sometimes '''SuMo''' is seen for Sun and Moon only.
* '''LGPE''': {{LGPE}}. Sometimes '''LPE''' or '''LPLE'''.
* '''SwSh''': {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Capitalization can vary between '''SwSh''' and '''SWSH'''. Sometimes '''SS'''.
** '''IoA''': Pokémon Sword and Shield: [[The Isle of Armor]]
** '''CT''': Pokémon Sword and Shield: [[The Crown Tundra]]
* '''BDSP''': {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}
* '''LA''': {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Sometimes '''PLA''' or '''PL:A'''.
* '''SV''': {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. Sometimes '''ScVi'''.
** '''HToA0''': Scarlet and Violet: [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. Used when referring to the pair of DLCs, rather than the individual releases.
*** '''TTM''': Scarlet and Violet: [[The Teal Mask]]. Includes the initial "The" in the acronym to avoid confusion with [[TM]] for Technical Machine.
*** '''TID''': Scarlet and Violet: [[The Indigo Disk]]. Sometimes '''ID''', dropping the initial "The" in an attempt to avoid confusion with [[Trainer ID]], which also uses the acronym "TID".

===Gameplay terms===
====6IV or 6V====
Refers to either a Pokémon with [[individual values]] of 31 for all 6 [[statistic|stats]], or a Pokémon with all 6 stats set to "competitively viable" values. This is also commonly referred to as "perfect IVs".
* As an example, some competitive strategies require a Pokémon to have an intentionally lower stat, such as an IV of 0 for [[Attack]], or [[Speed]]. Strategies using {{m|Trick Room}} or {{m|Gyro Ball}} may benefit from a Pokémon having a lower Speed stat than the opponent, therefore a Pokémon with IVs of 31 in every other stat, but with a Speed IV of 0, may still sometimes be referred to as 6IV or "perfect".

The term "5IV" or "5V" (a Pokémon with IVs of 31 in only five stats) is also commonly used due to the {{pkmn|breeding}} effect of [[Destiny Knot]] introduced in [[Generation VI]], allowing for the value of 5 random IVs of a bred Pokémon to be inherited from the parents if either parent holds the Destiny Knot.

====Chaining====
A method used to repeatedly encounter the same Pokémon via a feature such as [[Poké Radar]] and [[DexNav]], which lines up the chance of getting a desired Pokémon. Chaining with the Poke Radar is often tried for the purposes of getting a [[Shiny Pokémon]] of a specific species.

====Cheating====
{{main|Cheating}}
The use of any device unauthorized by [[The Pokémon Company]] to modify a Pokémon game. Being found to have cheated in any way, or having a Pokémon that was obtained by cheating on another game will result in immediate disqualification from any official tournament, and disqualification from all future official tournaments.

====EV training====
Intentionally battling Pokémon for the {{EV}}s they give out in order to ensure EVs are distributed in a specific way or capped.

====Focus Miss/Stone Miss/Will-O-Miss====
Derogatory terms for {{m|Focus Blast}}, {{m|Stone Edge}}, and {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, referring to the [[move]]s' mediocre [[accuracy]].

====Gear Station or Centrico Plaza trick====
Securing the D-pad or analog stick in one direction so that the player continuously walks around the circular {{DL|Battle Subway|Gear Station}} or {{DL|Lumiose City|Prism Tower|Centrico Plaza}}, resulting in an effortless refilling of [[Hidden Grotto]]es, increase in [[friendship]], hatching of {{pkmn|Egg}}s, and accumulation of [[Poké Mile]]s.

====Grinding====
{{pkmn|training|Training}} a Pokémon to a certain [[level]] through repetitive battling.

====Hatcher====
A Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Flame Body}}, {{a|Magma Armor}}, or {{a|Steam Engine}} such as {{p|Fletchinder}}, {{p|Slugma}}, and {{p|Rolycoly}} in the [[party]], mainly used for hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s faster.

====HM mule====
[[File:HM mule Bibarel.png|thumb|right|220px|A Bibarel that knows four field moves]]
A term used within parts of the fandom to refer to a Pokémon in a Trainer's party that is used for navigational support through the use of [[field move]]s—generally those taught by [[HM|Hidden Machines]]. HM mules will typically have three or four move slots occupied with field moves, allowing smooth passage through caves, across oceans, or past other obstacles at the expense of their battling capabilities.

With the retirement of HMs and field moves from [[Generation VII]] onward, HM mules are not necessary in those games. In Generation VII, the functions of HMs are replaced by [[Poké Ride]]s{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} and [[Secret Technique]]s{{sup/7|PE}}. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[Rotom Bike]]'s Water Mode replaces {{m|Surf}} and the [[Flying Taxi]] replaces {{m|Fly}}. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, various {{hi|ride Pokémon}} provide similar functions, allowing the player to traverse through [[Hisui]] faster, swim through water, climb steep cliffs, and glide through the air. The [[Arc Phone]]'s map allows players to warp between locations, replacing Fly. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, traversal abilities are gained by the player's {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} during the {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Path of Legends}} storyline, and the Flying Taxi from Sword and Shield returns.

HM mules are often referred to as '''HM slaves''' or '''HM friends'''. An equivalent term used within the Japanese fandom is '''{{tt|秘伝要員|ひでんよういん}}''', with {{tt|秘伝|ひでん}} being from {{tt|秘伝マシン|ひでんマシン}} ''Hidden Machine'' followed by {{tt|要員|よういん}} ''personnel''.

====HSOWA====
[[File:HSOWA HGSS.png|thumb|220px|right|A Skitty and a Wailord at the Day Care]]
The fan term HSOWA is an initialism that stands for "'''Hot Skitty On Wailord Action'''". It is derived from the fact that {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Wailord}} can {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} in the {{pkmn|games}} despite their massive size difference. It has reached cult status on some message boards. The term originates from GameFAQs.
{{-}}

====IV breeding====
Intentionally [[breeding]] Pokémon to have a specific {{IV}} or set of IVs.

====Masuda method====
{{main|Masuda method}}
The game mechanic that increases the likelihood of [[Shiny Pokémon]] to hatch from {{pkmn|Egg}}s if the parents are from differing real-world geographical locations. Named after [[Junichi Masuda]], who first documented this mechanic in [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=30 his blog].

====Nuzlocke Challenge====
{{main|Nuzlocke Challenge}}
A special challenge playthrough of a Pokémon game in which the player must follow a set of self-enforced rules to make the game more difficult. Most notably, the player can only catch the first Pokémon they encounter on each route, and must release any Pokémon that faints. Named after the [http://nuzlocke.com/ comic series] of the same name that first proposed the type of playthrough.

====Professor Oak Challenge====
A time-consuming challenge playthrough of a Pokémon game in which the player must fill up the [[Pokédex]] to its limit before taking on each [[Gym Leader]]. This challenge was created by user Chamale on {{wp|Reddit}}, and popularized by {{wp|YouTuber}} 'JohnStone'.

====Repel trick====
{{main|Appendix:Repel trick}}
Using [[Repel]]s and a lead Pokémon of a specific level to restrict [[wild Pokémon]] encounters to a specific Pokémon or group of Pokémon due to the maximum level at which wild Pokémon can appear.

====Shiny-locked====
{{main|List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon}}
Referring to a Pokémon obtained in a particular game that is prevented from being {{Shiny}}.

====Spinner trick====
Securing the D-pad or analogue stick in a single direction so that the player continuously walks into a [[spin tile]], resulting in an effortless increase in [[friendship]] and hatching of {{pkmn|Egg}}s. Often called the "Fuego trick" in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} due to [[Fuego Ironworks]] being the optimal location for doing so.

====Synchronizer====
Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Synchronize}} such as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Ralts}} in the first place in the [[party]], mainly used for obtaining Pokémon with the desired [[Nature]].

====Walking Pokémon====
{{main|Walking Pokémon}}
Pokémon that walk alongside their {{pkmn|Trainer}} when they normally would be inside their [[Poké Ball]]s outside of battle. Also referred to by fans as '''Pokémon following you'''.

====Apriball====
{{main|Apricorn}}
Referring to the [[Poké Ball]]s crafted using [[Apricorn]]s in [[Johto]], [[Kanto]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}, or [[Galar]] regions, specifically the [[Heavy Ball|Heavy]], [[Lure Ball|Lure]], [[Friend Ball|Friend]], [[Love Ball|Love]], [[Level Ball|Level]], [[Fast Ball|Fast]], and [[Moon Ball]]s.

Despite Poké Balls in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} also being craftable using Apricorns, this term doesn't refer to Poké Balls from the Hisui region.

===Metagame terms===
{{main|Appendix:Metagame terminology}}

===Technical terms===
====EVs====
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values, often shortened to EVs and officially known as base points, are capped permanent stat bonuses gained by defeating Pokémon, using items such as [[vitamin]]s or [[wing]]s, or using services such as those in [[Join Avenue]]. They ensure trained Pokémon are stronger than newly caught Pokémon.

=====AVs=====
{{main|Go Power}}
Awakening values, often shortened to AVs and officially known as Go Power, are used in {{LGPE}} in place of EVs. AVs are used to increase a Pokémon's [[statistic|stats]], but are awarded through the use of [[Candy]] and [[level]]ing up, rather than by defeating other Pokémon in {{pkmn|battle}}s or consuming [[vitamin]]s.

=====ELs or GVs=====
{{main|Effort level}}
Effort levels, often shortened to ELs, (referred to internally as "Ganbaru values", often shortened to GVs), are a mechanic introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Effort levels take the place of [[effort value]]s from previous games. Pokémon gain effort levels through the use of [[Grit]] items, but will initially begin with 0-3 ELs in each stat, with the amount being determined by the Pokémon's [[IV]]s.

====IVs====
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values, often shortened to IVs, are fixed values that can be inherited from the Pokémon's parents. They ensure Pokémon are genetically different.

====PID or EC====
{{main|Personality value}}
A shortened version of the term personality value, a hidden value used to determine several properties of a Pokémon, including {{Shiny|Shininess}}. [[Generation VI]] onwards, this value is split into two separate values, with the latter being referred to as the Encryption Constant, often shortened to EC.

=====PSV or ESV=====
Pokémon Shiny Value, often shortened to PSV, and Egg Shiny Value, often shortened to ESV, are values derived from a Pokémon or {{pkmn|Egg}}'s [[personality value]], designed as an easy way to tell if the Pokémon or Egg will appear as {{Shiny}} for a given player, if the value is the same as that player's Trainer Shiny Value, (often shortened to TSV).

====TID or SID====
{{main|Trainer ID}}
Trainer ID, often shorted to TID, is the 5 to 6 digit value displayed on the player's [[Trainer card]], [[League Card]], or in-game save menu. The Secret ID, often shortened to SID, is a hidden 4 or 5 digit value used alongside the Trainer ID to determine which Pokémon will appear as {{Shiny}} for the player, according to the Pokémon's [[personality value]].

=====TSV=====
Trainer Shiny Value, often shortened to TSV, is a value derived from the player's [[Trainer ID]] and Secret ID, designed as an easy way to tell if a given {{pkmn|Egg}} or Pokémon will be Shiny for the player, if their Egg Shiny Value, (often shortened to ESV), or Pokémon Shiny Value, (often shortened to PSV) is the same value as the player's Trainer Shiny Value.

====RNG or RNG Abuse====
{{main|Pseudorandom number generation}}
Refers to the Random Number Generator, or the practice of manipulating it through the use of fan-made software (commonly referred to as RNG Abuse), in order to obtain [[Shiny Pokémon]] or Pokémon with specific {{IV}}s—both endeavors which would otherwise leave a lot up to chance.

The '''ninth generation'''<ref> [https://web.archive.org/web/20230401155304/https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1638720732258787331/photo/1 Yusuke Kozaki on Twitter (archived)]</ref> (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|第九世代|だいきゅうせだい}}}}''' ''ninth generation'') of Pokémon games is the ninth installment of the Pokémon video game series. The ninth generation began with {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} on November 18, 2022 and continued with [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC packs.

Generation IX was first revealed via a [[Pokémon Press Conference#2022|Pokémon Presents]] video presentation on [[Pokémon Day|February 27]], 2022, which revealed Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

==History==
The ninth generation of Pokémon was announced with the reveal of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on February 27, 2022. These games were released worldwide on November 18, 2022.

Since May 30, 2023, players have been able to store their Pokémon and trade with other players in [[Pokémon HOME]].

In [[Pokémon Presents]] on February 27, 2023, [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] was announced. It is a paid DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, introducing new content to the games. Its first part, [[The Teal Mask]], is set for release in northern hemisphere fall 2023, while its second part, [[The Indigo Disk]], is set for release in northern hemisphere winter 2023.

==Connectivity==
Regarding connectivity with previous generations, users of Pokémon HOME can carry forward their Pokémon from Pokémon Bank (if they downloaded it prior to the discontinuation of the {{DL|Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo eShop}} for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]), Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!, Sword, Shield, Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, Legends Arceus and GO to the application, allowing for a transfer of Pokémon that originate in core series games as early as Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, as well as the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console releases of the Generation I and II games.

==Advances in gameplay==
* Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are open-world games in which areas are seamlessly connected. The areas in the game can be visited in any order.<ref name = "website">https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/ Pokémon.com official website</ref>
* Pokémon Scarlet and Violet feature multiplayer with up to four players simultaneously via the [[Union Circle]], enabling [[trade|trading]] and {{pkmn|battle|battling}} between players as well as allowing them to travel through the game's areas and hold [[picnic]]s together.<ref name = "website"/>
* The addition of {{cat|Generation IX Pokémon|105 new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 1010.
* The addition of {{cat|Generation IX moves|48 new moves}}, bringing the total to 898.
* The addition of {{cat|Abilities introduced in Generation IX|31 new Abilities}}, bringing the total to 298.
* A new region to explore, the [[Paldea]] region, based on the {{wp|Iberian Peninsula}}.
* A new [[villainous team]], [[Team Star]].
* The introduction of the [[regional form]]s for {{p|Tauros}} and {{p|Wooper}}.
* A new battle mechanic, [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallization]], which encases the Pokémon in gems and enhances or alters their attributes through their Tera Type.

===Alterations from Generation VIII===
* Doors now open automatically again.
* Random encounters in tall grass, caves, or water have been completely removed.
* {{weather|Hail}} has been replaced with a new [[weather]] condition, [[snow]].
* Single-use [[held item]]s now replenish after battle (with the exception of {{Berries}}).
* [[Escape|Running]] from in-game Trainer battles is now possible, but doing this will cause the player to [[black out]] immediately.
* The following items have been removed:
** [[Repel]]s.
** The [[Escape Rope]].
** [[Fishing Rod]]s.
** [[Incense]]s.
*** Consequently, the requirement for one of the parents to hold an incense to breed certain [[baby Pokémon]] has been lifted, and breeding their evolved forms will always result in that Pokémon's baby form.
* The {{pkmn|in Spain|Spanish language}} option is now labeled as "Español (España)", and the language label for foreign Spanish-language Pokémon is changed to reflect this (e.g. from "SPA" to "SP-EU" in the English version).
* The abandonment of the following elements:
** [[Ledge]]s
** [[Loto-ID]]
** [[Battle facility]]
** [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]]
*** [[Max Move]]s and [[G-Max Move]]s
** [[Rotomi]]
** [[Poké Job]]s
** [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s
** [[Ball Capsule]]s
** [[Grand Underground]]
** [[Union Room]]
** [[Move mastery]]
* The [[Elite Four]] returns, replacing the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]].
* The [[Wyndon Stadium/Champion tournaments|Champion tournament]] is replaced by the [[Academy Ace Tournament]].
* [[Pokémon Camp]] is replaced by [[picnic]]s.
** As {{pkmn|breeding}} is now done via picnics, the [[Pokémon Nursery]] is also removed.
** [[Curry]] is replaced by [[Sandwich]]es.
* The [[Y-Comm]] and [[Victory Station]] are replaced by the [[Poké Portal]].
* [[Max Raid Battle]]s are replaced by [[Tera Raid Battle]]s.
* [[League Card]]s are replaced by [[profile]]s.
* [[Battle Point]]s and [[Watt]]s are replaced by [[League Point]]s.
* 2 Pokémon received new abilities.
* 11 Pokémon had their ability changed.
* [[Badge]]s are no longer required to catch Pokémon of a certain level.
* {{p|Crabrawler}} now evolves into {{p|Crabominable}} when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].
* Like in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, items sell for a quarter of their purchase price instead of a half.

===Further additions in Scarlet and Violet updates===
====Version 1.2.0====
* Two new Pokémon ({{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}}), bringing the total to 1010.
* Two new moves ({{m|Hydro Steam}} and {{m|Psyblade}}), bringing the total to 900.

==Region==

==Trivia==
* Generation IX is the first [[generation]]:
** In which the position of {{pkmn|Champion}} is more of a rank than an actual title.
** In which the [[player character]]'s initial appearance changes between different game versions from the same pair.
** To begin in the same calendar year as the release of the [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus|final core series game]] of the [[Generation VIII|preceding generation]].
** Since [[Generation V]] to introduce at least 100 new Pokémon.
** To not feature [[Fossil]] Pokémon in any capacity.
** To not include [[Move Tutor]] moves.
** To include a {{2t|Bug|Dark}}, {{2t|Grass|Fire}}, and {{2t|Electric|Fighting}} type Pokémon, making Dark, Grass, Electric, and Fighting pair with every other type at least once.
** To introduce a specialist for all eighteen Types (not counting the [[Titan Pokémon]]), with eight of them being [[Gym Leader]]s, four of them being the [[Elite Four]] members, five of them being the [[Team Star]] bosses, and [[Tyme|one of them]] being an {{tc|instructor}} at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} (as well as a former Gym Leader).
*** In addition, there is a [[Dendra|second specialist]] of the {{t|Fighting}} type, who is also an instructor.
** To feature Trainers whose {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} is listed after their name rather than before it.
** In which the first of its Pokémon to debut in the {{pkmn|anime}} is a [[starter Pokémon]].
** To not have a new anime series with [[Ash Ketchum]] as the protagonist.
** Since [[Generation II]] in which compatible Pokémon can be transfered to the previous generation.
* Generation IX is the only generation in which no new {{t|Flying}}- or {{type|Ground}} moves have been introduced.
** In addition, the only new {{type|Fairy}} move, {{m|Magical Torque}}, is not legitimately usable by the player.
* Generation IX introduced the least amount of [[regional form]]s, with only four, three of them being forms of {{p|Tauros|the same Pokémon}}.
* Currently, no [[Mythical Pokémon]] have been introduced in this generation, similar to the beginning of [[Generation VIII]] when {{p|Zarude}} was not programmed into {{g|Sword and Shield}} until Version 1.2.0. Second to [[Generation II]]'s reveal of {{p|Celebi}} seven months after launch, this generation has gone the longest without a Mythical Pokémon being revealed.

'''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 early 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 [[Poké Ball (item)|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.)

==== Combability with Generation IX ====
Pokémon HOME is slated to gain compatibility with [[Pokemon Scarlet and Violet]] in early 2023 release.

====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 separate copies of Brilliant Diamond both catch a {{p|Regigigas}}, then copy A [[trade]]s its Regigigas to copy B, then copy B attempts to deposit both Regigigas into HOME, HOME will block the second deposit. This can be worked around if copy A deposits and withdraws its own Regigigas from HOME first before trading to copy B, since then copy B 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 [[List_of_serial_code_event_Pokémon_distributions_(Generation_VIII)#Ten.27i_Village_Regigigas|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]], [[Pok%C3%A9mon_Camp#Sociability|Sociability]], [[effort level]]s, [[Alpha Pokémon|Alpha flag]], and [[Training_grounds#Move_Tutor|Zisu's 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. [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Cherrim|Cherrim's Sunshine Form]]), or a form that requires a held item (e.g. [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Creation_trio|Silvally's alternate forms]]), the data for these forms is registered when any form of the Pokémon is deposited (this also applies to [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Creation_trio|Dialga, Palkia, Giratina]], and [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Arceus|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. [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Kyurem|Kyurem]], [[List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_with_form_differences#Necrozma|Necrozma]] or [[List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_with_form_differences#Calryex|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 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]] 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]].

===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.
*As of v2.0.0, Pokémon that were [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon GO]], or [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] but have not been moved to a compatible game in [[Generation VIII]] (or are not compatible with any games in that [[generation]]) will not have their [[base stats]], [[effort values]], or [[individual values]] shown in the Switch version, even if the player chooses not to connect any game with HOME.
*In the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] in the mobile version, since the ability to request and search for Pokémon with specific forms was added, selecting to exclude requests for Pokémon the user does not have does not exclude requests for forms of {{p|Vivillon}} or {{p|Furfrou}} that the user does not have as long as they have at least one form of the Pokémon.
*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>

===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.

==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.
* Once [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] become compatible with Pokémon HOME, the following species will be the only species that cannot be transferred out of HOME into any [[Generation VIII]] or [[Generation IX|IX]] game: {{p|Spinda}} originating from [[Generation VII]] or earlier, {{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}}.
** Additionally, the following regional forms originating from [[Generation VII]], (including {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}), cannot be transferred out of HOME into any [[Generation VIII]] or [[Generation IX|IX]] game: [[Regional form#List of Alolan Forms|Alolan]] {{p|Rattata}}, [[Regional form#List of Alolan Forms|Alolan]] {{p|Raticate}}, [[Regional form#List of Alolan Forms|Alolan]] {{p|Geodude}}, [[Regional form#List of Alolan Forms|Alolan]] {{p|Graveler}}, and [[Regional form#List of Alolan Forms|Alolan]] {{p|Golem}}.
**Blitzle and Zebstrika were announced as being compatible with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet with the release of [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]; The Indigo Disk, during the February 27, 2023 Pokémon Presents livestream.

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 Press Conference|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 spring 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 [[Poké Ball (item)|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 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 separate copies of Brilliant Diamond both catch a {{p|Regigigas}}, then copy A [[trade]]s its Regigigas to copy B, then copy B attempts to deposit both Regigigas into HOME, HOME will block the second deposit. This can be worked around if copy A deposits and withdraws its own Regigigas from HOME first before trading to copy B, since then copy B is no longer attempting to ''newly'' deposit twice (one of the Regigigas has been in HOME before).
**** It is unconfirmed whether this restriction can be circumvented by depositing the two restricted species into two different HOME accounts.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/343093766477053953/354645386746527745/988210779926974484</ref>
*** As a result, it is possible to run into this restriction even with official event Pokémon - if the player receives [[List_of_serial_code_event_Pokémon_distributions_(Generation_VIII)#Ten.27i_Village_Regigigas|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]], [[Pok%C3%A9mon_Camp#Sociability|Sociability]], [[effort level]]s, [[Alpha Pokémon|Alpha flag]], and [[Training_grounds#Move_Tutor|Zisu's 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 uploaded 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. [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Cherrim|Cherrim's Sunshine Form]]), or a form that requires a held item (e.g. [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Creation_trio|Silvally's alternate forms]]), the data for these forms is registered when any form of the Pokémon is deposited (this also applies to [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Creation_trio|Dialga, Palkia, Giratina]], and [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Arceus|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. [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Kyurem|Kyurem]], [[List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_with_form_differences#Necrozma|Necrozma]] or [[List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_with_form_differences#Calryex|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 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]] 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]].

===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==
*In the mobile version, [[Gigantamax]] [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Toxtricity|Amped Form]] {{p|Toxtricity}} and Gigantamax [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Toxtricity|Low Key Form]] Toxtricity are registered as separate forms in the [[Pokédex]]. In the Switch version, Gigantamax Toxtricity is considered to be a single form regardless of its base form. A member of the Pokémon Company International Support Team claimed that this inconsistency is intended, though was unable to provide a reason.{{fact}}
*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.
*As of v2.0.0, Pokémon that were [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon GO]], or [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] but have not been moved to a compatible game in [[Generation VIII]] (or are not compatible with any games in that [[generation]]) will not have their [[base stats]], [[effort values]], or [[individual values]] shown in the Switch version, even if the player chooses not to connect any game with HOME.
*In the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] in the mobile version, since the ability to request and search for Pokémon with specific forms was added, selecting to exclude requests for Pokémon the user does not have does not exclude requests for forms of {{p|Vivillon}} or {{p|Furfrou}} that the user does not have as long as they have at least one form of the Pokémon.
*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>

===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.

==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, 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.
* Once [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] become compatible with Pokémon HOME; Spinda originating from [[Generation VII]] or earlier, [[Snivy (Pokémon)|Snivy]], [[Tepig (Pokémon)|Tepig]], [[Patrat (Pokémon)|Patrat]], [[Sewaddle (Pokémon)|Sewaddle]], [[Ducklett (Pokémon)|Ducklett]], [[Pikipek (Pokémon)|Pikipek]], and [[Minior (Pokémon)|Minior]] along with their evolutionary lines will be the only Pokémon that cannot be transferred out of HOME into any [[Generation VIII]] or [[Generation IX|IX]] game.

Talk:Generation VIII

2021-12-10T22:18:03Z

RandomizedKirbyTree47: /* Reboot? */ new section

==Japan is getting the Sword and Shield games in Winter 2019?==
Is this for real? Where's the source for that? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 00:34, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
:It's late 2019 as late 2019 can get (December). Japanese game release are usually referred to by the season.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:36, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
::Yeah, I just realized that. My bad. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:09, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

== Request ==

Request for someone to change the start date to November 15, 2019. I can't do it myself because the page is protected. [[User:Awesomelink234|Awesomelink234]] ([[User talk:Awesomelink234|talk]]) 17:28, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

Request to add Nessa as the water-type gym leader. [[User:Gen3Confirmed|Gen3Confirmed]] ([[User talk:Gen3Confirmed|talk]]) 21:50, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

== National Dex note ==

Can an admin add that Generation VIII will be the first generation to not allow Pokémon who are not in the regional dex to be transferred to the games? ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:14, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
:That seems actually the second time, after [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 00:23, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
::I've been thinking... Technically, Generation I was the actual first time, because obviously no other previous generation existed. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 03:25, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
:::That would then also apply to Generation II, but either way I think it would be irrelevant since it feels like splitting hairs at that point. [[User:Klop422|Klop422]] ([[User talk:Klop422|talk]]) 17:18, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
::::You're right. The important thing here is that the Switch games (LGPE and SwSh) broke the tradition of having all the previous Pokémon species available via transfers from other games. The articles about both games already state that in one way or another. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 09:39, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

== Header change. ==

The header of the page contains the "Incomplete" tag, when it should really contain the "Expected Future Event" tag.
[[User:DasRagnerokGPR|DasRagnerokGPR]] ([[User talk:DasRagnerokGPR|talk]]) 04:04, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

I think it might be fair at this point to recognize the following points:
* Generation VIII is the first generation:
** To not have its [[Core series|main paired releases]] compatible with the entirety of the Pokémon species and moves existing as of its release.
** To introduce [[Fossil]] Pokémon that cannot breed.
** To introduce [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|cross-generational evolutions]] exclusive to [[Regional form]]s.
* At the time of its debut, Generation VIII introduced the least [[Legendary Pokémon]], only introducing three.
* At the time of its debut, Generation VIII introduced the least [[Mythical Pokémon]], introducing none.
[[User:SaniOKh|SaniOKh]] ([[User talk:SaniOKh|talk]]) 17:47, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
:The first point isn't true as Ruby and Sapphire were incompatible with RBGY/GSC, the third point as well since Mime Jr. can evolve into Galarian Mr. Mime. The rest of them sound like they're valid though. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 00:43, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
::I feel like, for that last point, you should just say, "At the time of its debut, Generation VIII introduced no new [[Mythical Pokémon]]." Or something along those lines. Your suggestion just feels redundant and too wordy. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 03:31, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
:::Just added the suggested material. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 04:38, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

== Expansion Pass ==
Similar to how previous generations have separated sections that specifically include additions from later games in the series, should there be a section that elaborates on what the Expansion Pass adds/plans to add? [[User:Brawlersinthezone|Brawlersinthezone]] ([[User talk:Brawlersinthezone|talk]]) 16:31, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

== Reboot? ==

The article says "Like Generation III and Generation V before it, Generation VIII can be considered something of a "reboot" of the franchise." I think this sentence needs some clarification. What characteristic does generation VIII share with Generations III and V that it doesn't share with other generations?

Generation VIII

The '''eighth generation''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|第八世代|だいはちせだい}}}}''' ''eighth generation'') of Pokémon games is the eighth installment of the Pokémon video game series. The eighth generation began with {{g|Sword and Shield}} and then continued with the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]] DLC packs, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

Like [[Generation III]] and [[Generation V]] before it, Generation VIII can be considered something of a "reboot" of the franchise{{fact}}. Released after [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|the Let's Go remakes]] of {{game|Yellow}}, Generation VIII is the first generation not to include every previously available Pokémon to obtain, the first generation to include paid DLC in lieu of an additional game, and the first to be released entirely on a home console system, the [[Nintendo Switch]].

==History==
The eighth generation of Pokémon was announced with the reveal of {{g|Sword and Shield}} on February 27, 2019. These games were released worldwide on November 15, 2019.

Since February 11, 2020, Sword and Shield players are able to store their Pokémon and trade with other players in the cloud-based application [[Pokémon HOME]].

On January 9, 2020, the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]] was announced, introducing new moves, new abilities, new forms and new Pokémon to Pokémon Sword and Shield. Its first part, [[The Isle of Armor]], was released digitally on June 17, 2020. Its second part, [[The Crown Tundra]], was released digitally on October 22, 2020. A physical bundle was announced on September 29, 2020 and released on November 6, 2020.

On February 26, 2021, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, remakes of the [[Generation IV]] games {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, were announced on that day's [[Pokémon Presents]] with a release date of November 19, 2021 worldwide. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] was also announced during same Pokémon Presents, slated to be released on January 28, 2022 worldwide.

==Connectivity==
Regarding connectivity with previous generations, users of Pokémon HOME can carry forward their Pokémon from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!]], and {{pkmn|GO}} to the application, allowing for a [[transfer]] of Pokémon that originate in [[core series]] games as early as {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, as well as the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games.

The existence of a [[Mystery Gift]] Pokémon compatible between all five Generation VIII games implies that the games will be compatible with each other.
