Released in June 28, 2023, a new patch update was released for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to adjust game mechanics in preparation for upcoming live tournaments.

The Pokemon HOME compatibility update maintenance began at May 29, 5PM PST (May 30, 0am UTC)! The estimated maintenance time could last for 6 hours, ending at May 29, 11 PM PST (May 30, 6am UTC), at which point players can finally start transferring Pokemon from HOME to Scarlet and Violet.
According to the Maintenance notice on the Pokemon HOME app, users will be able to log in at staggered times, to avoid server strain on Pokemon HOME's servers. It is expected that some players will be able to transfer their Pokemon immediately after the update at 11pm PST, but some players might access Pokemon HOME much later.
