Pokémon HOME is full of features that you can use to connect with games in the Pokémon series and more!
Pokémon will be registered to the National Pokédex when you deposit them in the Boxes in Pokémon HOME. If you move a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve or Gigantamax, then these forms will be registered, too! In the National Pokédex, you’ll be able to see Pokédex entries from various different games in one place.
In the mobile version, you can view Pokémon registered to your Pokédex in Pokémon HOME from different angles, such as from above or behind.
Try this out to get a better look at your Pokémon. You might notice new details you didn't catch before!
Note: This feature is unavailable for certain Pokémon appearances.
With the mobile app version of Pokémon HOME, you’ll be able to see much more than just Pokédex entries. You’ll also be able to search by Pokémon’s Abilities and moves!
You can receive Mystery Gifts in the mobile device version of Pokémon HOME! With this feature, you can receive Mystery Gifts for Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield as well as gifts specifically for Pokémon HOME. Pokémon received in Pokémon HOME can be directly deposited in a Box in Pokémon HOME.
Notes: Some features may not be available to all users in accordance with Pokémon HOME’s Terms of Use and Privacy Notice.
Depending on your device and OS version, some features may not be supported.
You can also get some gifts, such as items for Pokémon, by receiving a code for a Mystery Gift in Pokémon HOME and then using that code in Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield.
If you’ve enrolled in a Premium Plan, you’ll have access to the Judge function, which allows you to check how strong your Pokémon are.
In your room, you’ll be able to see all sorts of information about events or the games you’ve connected to Pokémon HOME. You’ll also be able to edit your profile using stickers. You can obtain stickers when you meet certain conditions or perform certain tasks in Pokémon HOME known as Challenges.
In the mobile app version of Pokémon HOME, you can check out how Ranked Battles and various Online Competitions in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield are going, as well as the rankings of the Pokémon being used in them. By going to Battle Data, you’ll be able to see the battle records of each Trainer as well as information about what moves are popular among the Pokémon in the competitions.
Note: The Battle Data function is expected to become available sometime after the February 2020 launch of Pokémon HOME.
In Pokémon HOME for mobile devices, you’ll be able to receive news about Pokémon being distributed as gifts and information about Online Competitions for Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield.
This feature in the mobile version lets you view your Pokémon arranged by the date you caught them.
You can use it to relive memories from your adventures—such as the day you first caught a certain Pokémon or when you received a Pokémon as a gift.
You can also set days as "Anniversaries." Try doing this with days that matter to you, such as your birthday or the day you met one of your favorite Pokémon.
Pokémon HOME Points are points that accumulate in Pokémon HOME as you deposit more Pokémon. When using the Nintendo Switch version of Pokémon HOME, you’ll be able to exchange your Pokémon HOME points for BP (Battle Points) to be used in core Pokémon series games.
