National Pokédex

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.

Other Games’ Pokédexes

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.

Each game’s Pokédex, such as the Sinnoh Pokédex of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl or the Galar Pokédex of Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, can only register Pokémon caught in those specific games.
