POKÉMON HOME TRANSFER

revolver_04

hello, thank you in advance for all this work. I have a quick question, why there are pokemons that I can transfer to POKEMON HOME and others that I cannot (Amovenus / enamorus) is there a precise configuration of the pokemon that I must do so that can it be transferred to POKEMON HOME? thanks 🙏

revolver_04 the reason is that the pokemon skip the home to get into sv. For enamorus to get into home you need it to be genned in the pla bot. The origin has to match if you understand. If you want zacian you need to gen it in the swsh bot since that is the only game you can catch it. Hope this helps.

Yep, what Stas said. If the Pokemon cannot be caught in Scarlet/Violet, you can't transfer it to HOME without a valid Home Tracker. So you must gen it in Legends: Arceus first, then to HOME, then to Scarlet/Violet.

Gengar does that mean that pretty much all the mystery gift pokemon are not legal then from past gens? i just did a ton of gen 4-5 mystery gift trades to scarlet and now i'm trying to transfer them to home and getting the error they are illegal. is this just the way it is or is there anyway to get the mystery gifts into home?

The only way to legally transfer to home is to gen them in the game that the Mystery Gift originated from. If you selected SWSH for example, you need to gen those in SWSH then move them to Home.

The reason we allow people to gen these in Scarlet/Violet still is because they are still technically "legal". They just can't go to Pokémon Home. You can still play online with them just fine without worry.
