Alt forms in Home Dex

I've just finished testing how alt forms get registered in the dex. don't have time to type it properly but I'll put my conclusions here. It's a bit complicated, and I wasn't able to test everything:

Gigantamax only register if you have a gigatamax capable pokemon of that form deposited in Home

Form differences sync to Home's dex IF you have a pokemon of any form deposited in Home and you have the form difference you want to register registered in a gen 7 game (not Gen 6) for example:

Vililion Garden deposited in Home

Vivilion Fancy registered in Gen 7 game

Vivilion Fancy registered in Home dex

For some reason this does not work if the Vivillion Fancy pattern is only registered in a Gen 6 game, even if that means it's registered in the Bank dex. It also applies to Pokémon who have an Alola dex entry, like Furfrou. It didn't register Furfrou forms in Home until I registered it in UM, even though I had it in OR/Bank's Dex . You can also register forms by depositing them if applicable.

This doesn't apply to Gen 8 forms. For example, I have all 63 alcremie form in SH. I uploaded 1 form to Home to test and it didn't unlock all alcremie forms, but it did unlock the flavour I uploaded with all its sweets.

Regional Variants, same as forms it seems. You can upload Kanto Raichu and have Alola Raichu registered if in Bank dex. But you can't upload Unova Stunfisk and have Galar Stunfisk unlocked even if you have it in SWSH, the Galar Stunfisk has to be uploaded to Home.

Shinies are sync'd with Bank's dex as soon as you upload any mon of that species. It doesn't matter if the Bank dex pulled it from a Gen 6 or a Gen 7 game - which makes me think that the fact it's not pulling from Gen 6 for form differences is a glitch

I can't properly test megas as the first thing I did with Home is upload my base living dex from Home. Official media states you just upload a mon, but I don't know if it has to be from Gen6/7 to unlock, or if it has to sync with Bank. If it does have to sync'd with Bank then Gen 6 counts for this.

Losing Hyper Training

Is this true? I transferred a bunch of Pokémon from Bank to HOME, a few of which were Hyper Trained, and none of the Hyper Trained Pokémon lost their "trained" stats. AgentParadox (talk) 21:48, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

in the first hours of release people were reporting this but it seems to be fixed now - unsigned comment from Jmvb (talk • contribs)

Trade Evolution

Pokémon that evolve by trading cannot evolve at all in HOME when the conditions are met. I've tested this out by putting three Shelmet in the GTS, and none of the Karrablast I obtained evolved into Escavalier. UxieLover1994 (talk) 12:00, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Giant price increase

The annual price of Pokemon home is going up to $30 next year from what I heard. Mario60866 (talk) 15:16, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Pokemon HOME Move Dex

So, Behemoth Blade, Behemoth Bash, Astral Barrage and Glacial Lance are all available on Smeargle as of the Indigo Disk Update for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and as such can be transferred into HOME. Despite this the HOME Move Dex has not been updated with compatibility with those moves, nor has the mobile version of the game got the data for them.

As such, as of right now, these moves will appear as having no name or type, however having been mastered (as in unlocked Strong Style and Agile Style in LA).

I want to update the page as it currently states that these moves are unobtainable legitimately, however I wouldn't know where to start as I don't know what elements of this issue would belong under the Moves and Abilities section, and which would belong under the Bugs and Errors section.

Link to an image of my Smeargle with all four moves, obtained legitimately through Pokemon Violet, through the use of wild Ditto using the moves of transformed Pokemon. - unsigned comment from EvieTheEevee (talk • contribs)
