A new update to Pokémon HOME (version 2.0.0) will
soon arrive, adding the ability to link to Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, and Pokémon Shining Pearl, along with past games Pokémon Sword, Pokémon Shield, Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!, Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, and Pokémon GO.
Pokémon
Legends: Arceus, Pokémon
Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, Pokémon Sword, and Pokémon
Shield will be mutually compatible with
Pokémon HOME, and you will be able to deposit and withdraw Pokémon to and from
each of these games. For example, you will be able to take a Pikachu that you
caught in Pokémon Sword or Pokémon
Shield into Pokémon
Legends: Arceus, Pokémon
Brilliant Diamond, or Pokémon Shining Pearl.
Please note that transferring Pokémon
to a game they were not originally caught in may cause certain changes to known
moves, level, and what type of Poké Ball they were caught in.

Until now, the
only Pokédex in Pokémon HOME was the National Pokédex. But
starting from version 2.0.0, the Pokédex from each game will
be added. Pokémon in your Boxes in Pokémon HOME will be registered in their
respective game’s Pokédex after version 2.0.0 of Pokémon
HOME is installed. Pokémon that aren’t in a Box when the ver. 2.0.0 update is
installed, such as those that have been traded away, will not be registered.
You can obtain new stickers to edit
your profile by completing achievements in the mobile device version of
Pokémon HOME. These achievements can be completed by meeting certain
conditions.
Since Pokémon
Legends: Arceus takes place in the distant past of the
world of Pokémon, Poké Balls from the other games do not yet exist. So, when
Pokémon caught in Pokémon
Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, Pokémon Sword, or Pokémon
Shield are transferred to Pokémon Legends: Arceus, they will appear in Strange Balls. Likewise, when Pokémon caught in Pokémon Legends: Arceus are transferred to Pokémon
Brilliant Diamond or Pokémon Shining Pearl, they will also appear in Strange Balls. When transferred to Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield, however, they will appear in standard Poké Balls.
You can check on the
condition of Pokémon deposited from Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl to
Pokémon HOME as well as their other details.
You can
view the effort levels of Pokémon deposited from Pokémon
Legends: Arceus to Pokémon HOME as well as its other details.
The
objective of Pokémon Legends: Arceus is to help compile the Hisui region’s
first Pokédex. As such, the National Pokédex in Pokémon
HOME will update its Pokédex entries based on your completion of
the Pokédex in your Pokémon Legends: Arceus save
data.
If
a Pokédex entry in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is
incomplete, you will not be able to see that Pokédex entry in Pokémon
HOME.
To celebrate Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon Brilliant
Diamond, and Pokémon
Shining Pearl becoming compatible with Pokémon HOME,
you will be gifted special Pokémon when you link each game to Pokémon HOME.
When you deposit a Pokémon from Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Pokémon
Shining Pearl to the Nintendo Switch version of
Pokémon HOME, you will receive Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup with Hidden
Abilities as Mystery Gifts in the mobile device version of Pokémon HOME.
If you deposit a Pokémon from Pokémon Legends: Arceus into the Nintendo Switch version of Pokémon HOME, you will receive Rowlet,
Cyndaquil, and Oshawott with maximum effort levels as Mystery Gifts in the
mobile device version of Pokémon HOME.
