Bug Fixes for Pokemon HOME

Pokemon HOME 3.0.1 Bug Fixes
Fixes issues with Spinda's spots being displayed incorrectly. Fixes issues with Pokemon transferred from Pokemon Legends: Arceus not being registered in the National Pokedex. Fixes display issues with certain ribbons. Other bug fixes.

The mobile version of Pokemon HOME has been released and along with it are fixes for multiple bugs previously found within the software.

Alpha Pokemon Jumbo Mark Bug Fix

Prior to the 3.0.1 update, certain Pokemon, namely Hisuian Zoroark, Hisuian Goodra, and Overqwil, did not recieve a Jumbo Mark in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV) even though they were classified as Alphas in Legends: Arceus.

The bug has since been fixed and will recieve the proper Mark if redeposited to Bank, save and quit, and move it back into Scarlet or Violet!

Pokemon HOME x Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Compatibility Release Date

Pokemon HOME Compatibility Update now Over!

The Pokemon HOME compatibility update maintenance began at May 29, 5PM PST (May 30, 0am UTC), and is now over! The maintenance time lasted 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.

Gradual Rollout After Update
(Earliest 11pm PST)

According to the Maintenance notice on the Pokemon HOME app, users will be able to log in at staggered times after the update, 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.

Pokemon HOME Compatibility Previously Delayed

Pokemon has recently announced that the scheduled date for Pokemon HOME compatibility on May 24 was a mistake. The actual release date for Patch 3.0.0 will be on May 29 instead.

Pokemon HOME Support Release Date

Pokemon HOME Custom Move Tailor and Stored Movesets

Tweak Movesets with the Move Tailor

A new feature in version 3.0.0 called Move Tailor allows you to customize your Pokemon's moveset before sending it out to a game, based on its learned moves, as well as available moves within the game it is moving to!

Pokemon HOME will also store data for each of your Pokemon's movesets per game which will make it easily accessible to players looking to swap Pokemon movesets.

Pokemon HOME Backwards Compatibility

Transfer Back and Forward Between Titles!

As can be seen by the diagram above, Pokemon can be traded back and forth between Pokemon HOME and the newer Switch Pokemon titles. This means that transferring Pokemon backwards to Legends Arceus, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and Sword and Shield will be possible! Note that only Pokemon that exist within those titles will be transferrable, so no sending Tinkaton to Galar to wreak havoc on their Corviknight Flying Taxi Service unfortunately!

All Pokemon HOME Transferable Pokemon

Pokemon Obtain the Same Tera Type as Regular Typing when Imported to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

When a Pokemon from an older game make their way into Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, their Tera Type will be determined by their regular typing. This could be a great way to obtain high IV or Shiny Pokemon with the desired Tera Type that would be difficult to get otherwise! Examples that come to mind are Steel Tera Scizor, Steel Tera Gholdengo and Flying Tera Dragonite!
