Pokémon HOME and Pokémon GO can now link

Once you’ve linked them, you’ll be able to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME and, from there, bring them to either the Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield game to join your adventure!

You don’t need to be enrolled in a paid Premium Plan for Pokémon HOME in order to link Pokémon GO and Pokémon HOME. All Trainers will eventually be able to link Pokémon HOME and Pokémon GO. This feature will be made available to Trainers over the coming days, starting with those who have higher Trainer levels in Pokémon GO.

Please check the official Pokémon GO Twitter page to see what Trainer levels are able to set up this link.

In order to bring certain Pokémon caught in Pokémon GO and transferred to Pokémon HOME into Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield, you must either have registered that Pokémon’s species to your Pokédex or have obtained a Pokémon of that species at any point in that game.
