How to Get Pokemon Home Mystery Gifts
Download Pokemon HOME
You can receive the three Paldean Starters as a free gift in Pokemon HOME. Although some features of Pokemon HOME are paid, the Starters can be received in the free version of the app. To transfer these Pokemon to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you'll need to download both the mobile and Nintendo Switch versions of the Pokemon HOME app, so first things first, you'll want to download the app via the Nintendo eShop and Apple Store or Google Play Store. You'll also need to create a Nintendo Account to transfer Pokemon if you don't have one already.
Be sure to link both versions of the app to the same Nintendo Account, or transfer between the mobile and Nintendo Switch versions will not be possible.
How to Download Pokemon HOME
Receive the Mystery Gifts
|
1. Send any Pokemon between Pokemon HOME on Nintendo Switch and Pokemon Scarlet or Violet
For the first step, you'll be using the Nintendo Switch version of Pokemon HOME – there's no need to open the mobile app yet for this step.
Even if you've used Pokemon HOME in the past, all users are required to send one Pokemon between the Nintendo Switch version of Pokemon HOME and their copy of Pokemon Scarlet or Violet – either direction is fine – at any time after 01:00 UTC on May 24th, 2023. If you haven't transferred a Pokemon since that time, and attempt to receive the Mystery Gifts before completing this step, you'll find a message that no Mystery Gifts are available, so be sure to complete this first!
2. Start up the Mobile Version of Pokemon HOME
First, close the Nintendo Switch version of Pokemon HOME. Then, start the mobile version of HOME, and on the main menu, tap the menu button at the bottom to open up the options.
3. Tap “Mystery Gifts” -> “Gift Box”
From the menu options, select “Mystery Gifts”.
On the next screen, select “Gift Box”.
Receive the Three Paldean Starters from the Gift Box
Inside the Gift Box, you'll be able to receive the three Paldean Starters! If you still don't see them here, try closing the app and reopening it to reset the data.
Send the Starters to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Close the mobile version of Pokemon HOME, and open the Nintendo Switch version of Pokemon HOME. You'll now see your new Starters reflected here as well, and can freely transfer them to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
And there you have it! All three starters have their Hidden Abilities, and ready to level up for Ranked Battle. Now check out our guides above and below to learn how to use them!
