Pokémon Home Compatibility: Transferring Pokémon to Scarlet and Violet

The release of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet brought a wave of excitement to trainers eager to explore the Paldea region. However, many trainers are curious about the compatibility of Pokémon Home with these new games. Can you transfer your beloved companions from past adventures to join you in Paldea?

This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of Pokémon Home compatibility with Scarlet and Violet, addressing frequently asked questions and providing insights into seamlessly integrating your Pokémon into this new chapter of your journey.

Understanding Pokémon Home and its Role

Pokémon Home serves as a cloud-based storage system, allowing trainers to manage their Pokémon collections across various games. This convenient service enables the transfer of Pokémon between compatible titles, facilitating team building and the preservation of cherished companions from past adventures.

Pokémon Home Compatibility with Scarlet and Violet: What You Need to Know

While Pokémon Home is compatible with Scarlet and Violet, there are certain limitations and considerations to keep in mind:

  • Not all Pokémon are transferable: Scarlet and Violet feature a unique regional Pokédex. Only Pokémon found within the Paldea Pokédex or those that have been previously transferred to Scarlet and Violet can be moved into these games via Pokémon Home.
  • Transfer availability timing: The ability to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Home to Scarlet and Violet typically becomes available shortly after the games’ release, often through a game update.

Step-by-Step Guide to Transferring Pokémon to Scarlet and Violet

Once the compatibility update is live, follow these steps to transfer your Pokémon:

  1. Ensure your game software is updated: Check for the latest update for both Pokémon Scarlet or Violet and the Pokémon Home app on your mobile device.
  2. Link your Nintendo Account: In both the game and the Pokémon Home app, ensure you are logged in to the same Nintendo Account.
  3. Access Pokémon Home in your game: Open your Pokémon Scarlet or Violet game and locate the Pokémon Home option within the menu.
  4. Choose to move Pokémon: Select the option to move Pokémon in or out of the game.
  5. Select Pokémon for transfer: Carefully choose the Pokémon you wish to transfer from your Pokémon Home boxes. Remember to review the compatibility list beforehand.
