In an official Tweet from the Pokemon Twitter account, they announced that the Pokemon HOME compatibility update will arrive on May 29, 5PM PST. In a follow up tweet, the estimated maintenance time could last for 30 hours, ending at May 30, 11 PM PST, at which point players can already start transferring Pokemon from HOME to Scarlet and Violet.
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.

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
|
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!
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.
From the menu options, select “Mystery Gifts”.
On the next screen, select “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.
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!
