The GO Transporter in Pokémon GO

The GO Transporter is a feature in Pokémon GO that allows the player to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME. It was made available on November 10, 2020.

The GO Transporter is one way only, so Pokémon to HOME cannot be sent back to GO. Pokémon transferred via the GO Transporter also cannot be sent to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.

Using the GO Transporter can also unlock the Mystery Box.

Restrictions

The player cannot transfer a Pokémon that is currently set as a Favorite, deployed into a Gym, or the current Buddy Pokémon.

In addition, the following Pokémon cannot be sent to HOME:

Once sent to HOME, a Pokémon from GO may only be transferred to Pokémon Sword or Shield if that game has that Pokémon's species registered in the Pokédex.

GO Transporter Energy

GO Transporter Energy is required for each Pokémon that is transferred. The GO Transporter can store 10,000 GO Transporter Energy at one time, and it automatically recharges 60 GO Transporter Energy per hour. As such, it takes approximately 7 days to fully recharge a GO Transporter with zero Energy. Players can also pay PokéCoins (PokéCoin.png1 for 10 Energy) to instantly and fully recharge the GO Transporter.

The cost required by the GO Transporter depends on several factors: its CP, whether it is Legendary or Mythical, and whether it is Shiny. All costs are capped at 10,000.

Costs Normal Legendary Mythical
Base 10 1,000 2,000
Shiny 1,990 9,000 8,000
CP 1,001 - 2,000 100 300 500
2,000+ 300 500 700
Max cost 2,300 10,000 10,000


Modifications to transported Pokémon

Pokémon are modified in a similar way to how they are modified in GO Park, although the conversion is not exactly the same.

Form

Forms are normally preserved by the GO Transporter.

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

  • Castform in its Sunny, Rainy, or Snowy Forms reverts to its Normal Form.
  • Cherrim in its Sunshine Form reverts to its Overcast Form.
  • Giratina in its Origin Forme reverts to its Altered Forme.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon cannot be transported until they return to normal.

Origin

Pokémon transferred from Pokémon GO have Pokémon GO as their game of origin, resulting in them having the GO origin mark GO icon PE.png.

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

Level

The Pokémon's level will be the same as its Power Up level in Pokémon GO, rounded down to the nearest integer. This means that Pokémon transported from Pokémon GO can range from level 1 to level 40.

Moves

The moves that a Pokémon knew in Pokémon GO have no bearing on its moves in Let's Go. The Pokémon's moves are reset to moves it would know in the wild at its current level (i.e. its level-up moves at that level). The game whose learnset is used depends on the Pokémon's species:

Original Trainer and nickname

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

The Pokémon GO Trainer who sent the Pokémon to HOME is listed in the Pokémon's summary screen on Pokémon. However, if the Pokémon is placed in Pokémon Sword or Shield, this information is permanently lost. (The Pokémon GO Trainer name is not listed for Pokémon that were transferred from GO to Let's Go, then placed in Pokémon HOME.)

The Pokémon's nickname is removed.

Poké Ball

The Pokémon's Poké Ball will be the same as the Poké Ball it was caught in in Pokémon GO. Pokémon hatched from Eggs will be contained in a standard Poké Ball.

This contrasts with Pokémon that were transferred from Pokémon GO to Let's Go, then placed in Pokémon HOME—those Pokémon have the Poké Ball they were caught in in GO Park rather than the one they were caught in in Pokémon GO.

IVs

The Pokémon's IVs are calculated from its IVs in Pokémon GO. In Pokémon HOME, its IVs are equal to one more than twice their corresponding IV in GO (i.e. HOME = 2*GO + 1). As a result, the maximum possible IV for a transferred Pokémon is 31 (the maximum possible for any Pokémon) while the minimum is 1.

Speed has no corresponding IV in Pokémon GO, so is randomly generated upon transfer.

The following are the corresponding GO IVs for each IV in Pokémon HOME.

Core series IV GO IV
HP HP
Attack Attack
Defense Defense
Special Attack Attack
Special Defense Defense
Speed N/A

Nature

The Pokémon's Nature is randomly generated upon transfer.

Ability

The Pokémon's Ability is randomly selected from the Pokémon's standard Abilities in Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Height and weight

The Pokémon's height and weight are reset to the species' default values. (This is not the case for Pokémon that were transferred from Pokémon GO to Let's Go, then placed in Pokémon HOME.)
