Switch
2020年2月12日
Pokemon Home will release in February 2020.
Here are the details between basic and premium.
Games compatible with Pokemon HOME.
- Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield
- Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee
- Pokemon Bank
- By extension through Pokemon Bank, all 3DS games will be compatible with Pokemon HOME as well.
- Pokemon GO (In the future, but not upon release).
Warning: Once a Pokemon from Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! is moved into Pokemon HOME, it CANNOT be moved back to Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! However, you can move Pokemon from Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! to Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! (or vice versa).
Note: Pokemon GO support will come later.
Pokemon Bank will be free for one month when Pokemon Home is released to facilitate transferring into Pokemon Home.
Wonder Box lets you Wonder Trade, which functions similarly to Surprise Trade.
Put your Pokemon in the Wonder Box to trade them with people around the world even when you're not using Pokmeon Home.
There's no guarantee what you'll get in exchange for your Pokemon, it's all about the surprise!
With the GTS, you’ll be able to specify which Pokemon you want to trade and which Pokemon you want to receive (you pick the Pokemon, gender, level, and games) and then get matched with a Trainer whose requests meet your criteria.
You’ll even be able to request Pokemon you haven’t yet registered in Pokemon HOME’s National Pokedex yet.
Room trade is like wonder trading / surprise trading but with a group of up to 20 people.
You don't know what Pokemon you'll get until the trade is complete.
Use the Add Friend feature in Pokemon Home to make friends and the trade with them directly.
Pokemon will be registered to the National Pokedex when you deposit them in the Boxes in Pokemon HOME. If you move a Pokemon that can Mega Evolve or Gigantamax, these forms will be registered.
You can also use this to check out all the different Dex entries, across various games, in one convenient place.
The mobile version of the app will allow you to check each Pokemon's Abilities and the moves it can learn.
You can receive Mystery Gifts in Pokemon Home, just like how you can receive Mystery Gifts in Pokemon Sword and Shield.
On the app, the methods are via Local Event Check, Codes, and scanning Code patterns. At the time of writing it's unclear if some Mystery Gifts will be exclusive to the Pokemon Home App.
Those with the paid premium plan can Judge their Pokemon directly from the app to evaluate their stats. Remember, you can already do this in Pokemon Sword and Shield by unlocking the IV checker. For how to do that, be sure to check out our explainer page.
Here, you can see information about events or games you've connected to Pokemon Home. You can also edit your profile with stickers that you earn when meeting certain conditions or completing Challenges.
Here are some examples of the stickers you can earn.
Battle Data will be available after the initial February 2020 launch of Pokemon Home.
The mobile app will let you see the News, which provides game info and sometimes Mystery Gift Codes. Currently, this information can be found under the News section at the bottom of your Nintendo Switch's homescreen (but this includes all Nintendo news, not just Pokemon posts).
The more Pokemon you deposit into Pokemon Home, the more Pokemon HOME points you'll earn. When using the Nintendo Switch version of Pokemon Home, you can exchange the Pokemon Home Points for BP (Battle Points) to use in the core series games.
BP can be used to buy items such as Nature changing Mints and more. You can also earn BP in the Battle Tower.
