'''Pokémon HOME''' (Japanese: '''Pokémon HOME''') is a cloud service for {{wp|iOS}}, {{wp|Android (operating system)|Android}}, and the [[Nintendo Switch]]. It serves as a complement to the Nintendo Switch [[core series]] games, replacing [[Pokémon Bank]] and the [[Pokémon Global Link]]. It was released worldwide on February 12, 2020.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zones, the game was released on February 11, 2020 in North America, 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.

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

===Pokémon storage===
Pokémon HOME allows two-way transfer to and from the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] using the Nintendo Switch version. Only Pokémon that can be obtained in Sword and Shield can be transferred to those games, and only Pokémon originally caught in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! can be transferred to those games. Any Pokémon transferred to Sword and Shield cannot be transferred to Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. It also allows one-way transfer of Pokémon from the [[Nintendo 3DS]] core series games through [[Pokémon Bank]] using either version with a Premium Plan. One-way transfers from [[Pokémon GO]] will be made available in the future.

Up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited, which increases to 6,000 Pokémon with a Premium Plan. The [[Judge]] function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.

===Trading===
Pokémon can be traded using the mobile phone version. 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.
* '''[[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.

===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. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate [[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.

===Mystery Gifts===
{{main|Mystery Gift}}
Gifts for Pokémon Sword and Shield as well as Pokémon HOME itself can be received using the mobile app. Pokémon received can be deposited directly into the Boxes in Pokémon HOME.

===Other===
Players can customize their profile in My Room using stickers obtained by completing 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.

Pokémon HOME Points replace [[Poké Mile]]s as a currency. 1 [[Battle Point]] is equivalent to 30 points, which can be transferred in the Nintendo Switch version.

==Premium Plan==
Except for prices for the Nintendo eShop in the United States, all prices below include tax.
