How to Move Pokemon from Home to GO: A Simple Guide
Last updated
Ever found yourself scratching your head, wondering how to shuffle your favorite Pokemon between Pokemon HOME and Pokemon GO? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into how you can make this happen, step-by-step.
We’re talking about moving Pokemon from the cloud-based service, Pokemon HOME, to the on-the-go adventure, Pokemon GO. How do you do it? We’ve got the answers!
The Quick Answer on Moving Pokemon
First things first, you need both Pokemon HOME and Pokemon GO apps. Connect them by linking your Nintendo account to both apps. Once linked, you can begin transferring your beloved Pokemon from HOME to GO with a few taps.
Remember, not every Pokemon can make the trip, so check which ones are eligible. Also, such transfers are a one-way ticket – Pokemon can’t go back to HOME from GO.
Step-by-Step Guide to Transfer
1. Open Pokemon HOME on your device and select the menu. 2. Tap ‘Options’, then ‘Pokemon GO Link’. Follow instructions to link your Nintendo account. 3. Open Pokemon GO, go to Settings, and find ‘Pokemon HOME’. Tap ‘Send Pokemon’. 4. Choose the Pokemon you wish to transfer. Confirm your choices and complete the transfer using the Transporter Energy in Pokemon GO.
This process requires Transporter Energy, which recharges over time or can be instantly replenished using PokeCoins. Managing your transfers based on available energy is key!
