How to Transfer Pokemon from BDSP to Arceus

Transfer Using Pokemon HOME

Pokemon Home Support Diamond Pearl.png

Transferring Pokemon from Pokemon BDSP to Pokemon Legends: Arceus is done using Pokemon HOME. Pokemon HOME is a subscription service that allows players to have a centralized Pokemon collection that can be transferred between supported Pokemon games, albeit with some restrictions.

For more information about Pokemon HOME, check out our guide:

Pokemon HOME (Update 2.0) Guide

Only Allows Certain Pokemon

Though you can transfer Pokemon from BDSP to HOME to other games, these would not come without a restriction. When transferring to Pokemon Legends: Arceus, you have to make sure that the Pokemon has an entry in the Hisuian Pokedex so it would be allowed to roam the Hisuian Region.
