Pokemon HOME Compatibility Confirmed

Along with its announcement, Pokemon Champions was confirmed to support transfers through Pokemon HOME! It was shown during the Pokemon Presents 2025 that trainers can connect to Pokemon HOME to battle with their Pokemon from Pokemon GO, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and other previous titles in the series!

Pokemon Limitations Will Be Applied

Sadly, not all Pokemon are transferable from other games to Champions via Pokemon HOME. Pokemon available via HOME are limited to those included in Champions on release and in the game's future updates. Additionally, Pokemon obtained in Champions cannot be sent to Pokemon HOME.

This guide will be updated as soon as the complete Pokemon Champions roster is announced!

How to Transfer From Pokemon HOME
