Pokémon Home, stylized Pokémon HOME, is both a free mobile app and a Nintendo Switch game developed by ILCA and published by The Pokémon Company, part of the Pokémon series, released in February 2020. Its main use is providing cloud-based storage for Pokémon. It also contains the 'Global Trading System' (GTS) that was excluded from Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, and provides the ability to transfer Pokémon from the previous storage system, Pokémon Bank for the Nintendo 3DS, as well as Pokémon Go, onto the Switch.
Synopsis
Pokémon Home has two different versions; the Nintendo Switch version and the mobile version. Both versions are linked via Nintendo Account, and there exists both a free Basic Plan along with a paid Premium Plan. All users from both versions can also access a National Pokédex that updates as Pokémon are deposited into Home.[1] If a user completes this Pokédex up to Eternatus, they receive a special Original Color Magearna as a reward.[2] The Premium Plan allows users to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Bank to the boxes in Home using both versions, although this is a one-way transfer, and also view the 'Individual Values' of a Pokémon.[1][3] Users of both versions can unidirectionally transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Go to Pokémon Home without needing a Premium Plan.[4]

With the Basic Plan, users can access the Basic Box, where they can place up to 30 Pokémon. They can use this box to deposit Pokémon from Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu!, Pokémon: Let's Go Eevee!,Pokémon Sword, Pokémon Shield, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus. However, users cannot move Pokémon from Sword and Shield to the Let's Go games, and users cannot deposit Pokémon back into the Let's Go games if they have already been moved to Sword and Shield. Users can freely move Pokémon in Sword and Shield's Regional, Isle of Armour or Crown Tundra Pokédexes between Pokémon Home and Pokémon Sword and Shield.[5] From depositing Pokémon in Home, users gain Home Points. Users can transfer these points to Sword and Shield for Battle Points, with every 30 Home Points accounting for 1 Battle Point.[6]
With a Premium Plan, users can access the full 200 boxes available, capable of storing up to 6,000 Pokémon.[5]
Mobile Exclusive Features
Users of the mobile Pokémon Home app can view Pokémon deposited from the Nintendo Switch version, but cannot move those Pokémon in or out of Pokémon Home.
With the mobile version, users can trade Pokémon with others using multiple different features. The 'Wonder Box' allow users to put Pokémon up for trade and receive a Pokémon from another random user in return. Up to three Pokémon can be out in the Wonder Box at one time with the Basic Plan. Users can also access the Global Trading System, where other users put Pokémon up for trade in return for other Pokémon. One Pokémon can be put up for trade in the GTS with the Basic Plan, with users able to specify the level and type of Pokémon they want in return. Users can also search the GTS, using specifications such as level, type, whether they have the Pokémon the offerer wants and whether the offerer wants a Legendary/Mythical Pokémon.[7] As of update 1.5.0, the user may also search the GTS by Pokémon the offerer asks for as well as by form and language, features that were not included in iterations of the GTS from previous games.[8] Another feature allows users to enter another user's 'Room Trade' with three to twenty participants, where a user selects a Pokémon to trade and it is traded to another random person in the room. Finally, users can engage in 'Friend Trades' with users registered as friends via a friend code, acting similarly to Link Trades in Pokémon Sword and Shield.[7]
Users of the Mobile version of Pokémon Home can receive Mystery Gifts, distributed for various reasons, and have the ability to check battle data from Sword and Shield and check Pokémon news.[9]
The Premium Plan allows users to place up to ten Pokémon in the Wonder Box, three Pokémon in the GTS and create Trade Rooms.[10]
