Receive Pokémon from Pokémon GO in Pokémon HOME
How to Receive Pokémon in the Mobile Device Version of Pokémon HOME
If you’ve transferred Pokémon from Pokémon GO, you’ll be able to receive them in Pokémon HOME when you start the application.
View the list of transferred Pokémon and then accept the transfer to receive them.
If you can’t receive the Pokémon, you can try again from the Pokémon GO Link section in Options after resolving the issue, such as by clearing space in your Pokémon Boxes if they are full.
