However, I do wish you could transfer Pokemon from Pokemon Home to Pokemon GO. I know I’m not the first one to say this and I won’t be the last, but you should be able to move pokemon from Pokemon Home to Pokemon GO. But besides that, I have no issues with Pokemon Home. Amazing app. Easy and fun to use. ### 1/5 — Why *2026-08-16, version 4.0.2* So I was so excited that I transferred like 4 shinies from pokemon go and then I realized I have to pay to transfer them to switch, now I did not think about it that much when I realized I CANT SEND THEM BACK TO POKEMON GO now Im stuck here trying to take them back to pokemon go please someone at least let me give them back to my pokemon go account ### 1/5 — bank to home *2026-08-14, version 4.0.2* never buying a premium plan again, my only reason for subscription is gone ### 1/5 — Pokemon bank shut down *2026-08-13, version 4.0.2* “You will still be able to transfer the Pokémon you’ve deposited in Pokémon Bank to Pokémon HOME even after the Pokémon Bank service switched to operating at no cost, so please feel welcome to continue using Pokémon Bank.” Pokemon website. Yeah kinda hard to when you shut down bank. ### 3/5 — Good in general but trading is really limited *2026-08-10, version 4.0.2* Can’t trade mythicals, can’t specify if the pokemon is shiny can’t specify which game it’s from etc. ### 1/5 — Hacked pokemon ruin the game *2026-08-07, version 4.0.2* There are so many hacked/cloned pokemon being traded that it has ruined the entire trading system. The only shiny Pokemon trusted now are from Pokemon Go. The entire integrity and reputation of trading has failed and Pokemon seems to have no idea this is happening. ### 5/5 — Great but… *2026-08-07, version 4.0.2* This game is a good way to store all your Pokemon from different games like Pokemon Go and Pokemon Legends Z-A. But, could there be a way to send Pokemon to Pokemon Go instead of only receiving Pokemon from Pokemon Go and keeping them. And could Pokemon Go also get something for sending over Pokemon apart from the Pokémon’s candy, like a special incense for a legendary Pokemon. ### 1/5 — Moving pokemon *2026-08-07, version 4.0.2* The app is okay but we gotta be able to transfer pokemon back to pokemon go in this app like a one way transer doesnt seem right to me yk 😬💔 ## Frequently asked questions about Pokémon HOME ### What is Pokémon HOME?
