How To Upload To E-sword

Pokémon Abode is the latest version of an online deposit box for your Pokémon - a service started many years agone on the Game Boy Color with Pokémon Silver and Gold's Time Sheathing, through to the almost recent predecessor in Pokémon Bank on the 3DS.

Though it'south designed to easily work with modern Pokémon games on Switch (and now finally with Pokémon Go) it also supports Pokémon from previous generations with some careful planning thanks to Pokémon Bank.

Though your Pokémon from original Game Boy cartridges are unfortunately off limits (unless, of course, yous've been playing the Virtual Console versions) it's possible to take Pokémon from the Game Boy Accelerate all the way through to Sword and Shield.

Almost likely, all the same, y'all'll but want to know either how to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Go to Domicile, Permit's Go to Dwelling house, or from Abode to Pokémon Sword and Shield - which this page also explains.

What you need to know most transferring Pokémon to and from Pokémon Home

Before we get started, here are some nuts nearly transferring Pokémon to - and from - Pokémon Domicile.

• Though Pokémon Home can transfer Pokémon all the way from the Game Boy Advance era with a bit of planning, it'due south worth knowing the directly compatible games with Pokémon Home ahead of time, which you can meet at a glance with this image (with Pokémon Go existence released by the end of 2020):

• Equally the prototype shows, Pokémon Sword and Shield is the only game that allows transfers to and from Pokémon Home. The only exception is Let'south Become, which can be moved between different Let's Get versions and Home, but one time it's appeared in Sword and Shield, information technology cannot be used in Permit's Go again.
• Every bit for everything else, information technology's a ane way trip - so you have to exist certain you want to transfer them beginning, as at that place's no going back.
• There are some other restrictions on what can be transferred. For example, just Pokémon available in the Sword and Shield Pokédex can exist moved to those games, while Pokémon in your current team in any game cannot be moved to Habitation or Bank until you move them into a box, and the alternate-form event Pokémon from Pokémon Go, like Party Hat Pikachu, tin't be moved to Home either.
• Though the smartphone and Switch apps broadly have the same transfer functionality (they can both connect to Pokémon Banking concern) they do offer different features that make worth both getting. The Switch app is the only mode to get Pokémon from the Switch era, and offers (in our opinion) an easier manner to browse your Pokédex. Meanwhile, the iOS and Android Pokémon Home app allows yous to trade directly with other Pokémon Habitation players.

• Though Pokémon Bank is free until March 12th, 2020 with the launch of Pokémon Home, yous still need to have a Premium subscription to Pokémon Home to complete the final move from Banking company to Home. A fiddling sneaky, but nonetheless an offering worth taking upwardly if y'all want to bring everything up to engagement.
• Pokémon Habitation requires a Nintendo Business relationship whether you're logging into the Nintendo Switch and mobile apps, and as a result, allows you to view your collection on either. Besides, since Bank requires a Moving Key to link accounts, in theory your 3DS doesn't demand to share the same Nintendo Account to bring them across - though it'south probable your Switch saves do.

How to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Go to Pokémon Home and Pokémon Sword and Shield

The most recent functionality for Pokémon Home, finally added in November 2020, is the ability to transfer Pokémon to Home from Pokémon Go, and therefore all the way from Go, to Dwelling, to the Switch games Pokémon Sword and Shield.

This involves a new feature in Pokémon Get called the Get Transporter, and there are some limits on how oft you can apply it without spending Poké Coins, depending on the Pokémon yous desire to transfer. Hither's how it all works, from Go to Home and Habitation to Sword and Shield.

If yous're doing this within the free Pokémon Bank window, you'll receive a notification of the offer within the system menu, which contains a directly link to the Pokémon Bank listing in the eShop. Otherwise, become to the Pokémon surface area of the eShop to notice Pokémon Bank there.

Next, make sure y'all've moved all the Pokémon you want from the supported games through to Pokémon Bank. (Only a handful permit direct transfers - anything that isn't strictly a 3DS Pokémon game requires another step which we'll explicate in the next section.)

To move Pokémon from a 3DS game to Pokémon Depository financial institution, select the tiptop-most choice on the principal menu.

Finally - your Bank Pokémon are in Home!

How to move Pokémon from Black and White and Virtual Console games using Pokémon Transporter

So what if you wanted to go back fifty-fifty further?

How to move Pokémon from Game Boy Accelerate and DS Pokémon games to Pokémon Dwelling

Though not officially supported by Pokémon Bank or Pokémon Home, it is possible to get creatures from the other games in the series, such as Ruby and Sapphire or Diamond and Pearl, over to modern games.

The post-obit games require a much more convoluted process to transfer Pokémon to either the Pokémon Bank and beyond. Over again, note that all of these are ane-way transfers only - significant you cannot go these Pokémon back onto their original games once transferred.

Here's what's supported from older generations:

• Gen 1: Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow (physical, non-virtual console versions) - non possible
• Gen two: Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal - not possible
• Gen 3: Pokémon Reddish, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, LeafGreen - transfer to Gen 4 (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver) past inserting the Gen 3 (Game Boy Advance cartridge) into a DS, then using the Pal Park feature. See the Gen four pace beneath to proceed.
• Gen 4: Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver - transfer to Gen 5 (Black and White or Black and White two) by connecting ii DS or 3DS systems together using the Transfer Station. You can now use the Poké Transporter to transfer to Pokémon Bank.

Here's a YouTube video by YellowSuperNintendo with a pace-by-pace of this process:

Pokémon from the original, cartridge-based games from the first and 2d generation games are, unfortunately, impossible to get beyond Generation 2.

From Generation 3 onwards yet, information technology is possible, and thankfully that includes versions of the games such every bit FireRed and HeartGold, which hark correct dorsum to the originals.

The Virtual Panel versions of Red, Blue and Yellowish - as well as Gilt, Silverish and Crystal - are also supported via Pokémon Transporter equally well.

Other things to know nearly using Pokémon Banking company and Pokémon Home

The above steps are the broad strokes on how to movement Pokémon over from previous generations all the style to Bank and Domicile. Here'south some extra considerations worth noting:

Before in Red, Blue and Yellowish...

• If yous're transferring creatures from the Virtual Panel versions of Cerise, Blue and Yellowish, stats such as Abilities, Natures, Special Attack and Special Defence will be added.
• Items cannot be carried over via Pokémon Bank - if y'all attempt to, the item information technology'due south holding will be sent dorsum to the original game.
• Call back, whatever transfers from an older generation to a newer one are ane way - including Pokemon coming from Gen vi - X and Y, Omega Cherry-red and Alpha Sapphire - so download wisely.

...and after in Sun and Moon.

• Pokémon Banking concern is a premium service, costing £iv.49 / €4.99 per year, if you're using it beyond the gratuitous trial period with Pokémon Home's launch. If your subscription expires, you can notwithstanding withdraw your Pokémon - but only for a set period of fourth dimension. here's the official message:

  "If your trial pass or almanac pass expires and you do not buy a new pass, yous can even so withdraw your Pokémon from Pokémon Bank for a set period of time. Yet, once that set period of time ends, whatsoever Pokémon remaining in your Pokémon Bank Boxes will be lost. Exist sure to withdraw your deposited Pokémon as soon equally possible, or purchase a new annual pass."
