The first time you transfer Pokémon from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME, you’ll receive the Mythical Pokémon Melmetal as a Mystery Gift in Pokémon HOME. This Melmetal is a special one that has never been obtainable until now. It is capable of Gigantamaxing under the right conditions, such as during Max Raid Battles in the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield games. You will not be able to feed Melmetal Max Soup, which is available in The Isle of Armor, the first round of content for the Pokémon Sword Expansion Pass and Pokémon Shield Expansion Pass. (Note: Full version of game required to use Expansion Pass for that game. Games and Expansion Passes sold separately or in special bundle packs.)
The Mystery Gifts feature is available only on the mobile device (iOS/Android) version of Pokémon HOME. Certain features may be unavailable depending on your device or OS version.
Linking with Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield is a feature available only on the Nintendo Switch version of Pokémon HOME.
If you send Pokémon from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME, you’ll be able to open the Mystery Box, causing the Mythical Pokémon Meltan to appear on your map for a limited time. It is important to note that a set period of time must have passed since you last opened the Mystery Box in order to be able to open it again.
If a Trainer who does not have a Mystery Box sends a Pokémon to Pokémon HOME, they will obtain a Mystery Box.
