But I want a black rayquaza and that requires a rayquaza to be shiny so I thought it would be cool when you search for pokemon you want there could be a option for it the be shiny or not. That's all I have to say thank you for listening,or, well, reading. ### 1/5 — Marca error 500 detalle 10399 *2026-07-26, version 4.0.2* No me deja ingresar a la cuenta ### 3/5 — Love it but *2026-07-26, version 4.0.2* Get rid of the “this Pokémon is special” and “you cannot trade this because…” ### 1/5 — -32 STARS *2026-07-25, version 4.0.2* Horrible horrible app wouldn’t even let me sign in ### 3/5 — Good Idea, Suboptimal Execution *2026-07-22, version 4.0.2* Missing basic features like shiny trading and decent filters. Buggy and slow. Otherwise gets the job done. ### 4/5 — Great and useful but trading needs to be fixed *2026-07-19, version 4.0.2* I enjoy being able to get special pokemon for owning different games and for completing the games Pokédex but there’s a lot of people that put up pokemon with impossible trades like an alolan golem that can go to bdsp (which straight up can’t happen) ,or a blood moon ursaluna that can go to legends arceus, or in other instances where it’s a pokemon that they want but that Pokémon’s level is one it can’t be like a level 1-10 mewtwo, or they will ask for an oddly specific Pokemon like a es-la mudkip that’s level something (at the time of me writing this review I ran into several versions of this trade and when you look it up in the trade area it straight up doesn’t exist) or they will ask for the exact same Pokemon (which is just dumb why even put a Pokemon up for trade if you’re just going to ask for the same exact Pokemon). So if the Pokemon company sees this please fix this it is really annoying when you don’t have online play on the nintendo switch and this is the next best thing to help you complete game Pokédex’s and it is basically impossible to do so when so many people abuse this dumb thing that you put into your game. So please fix this i just want to get the Pokemon home locked shiny mythicals. ### 1/5 — meta *2026-07-19, version 4.0.2* si y avait juste moyen de limiter tout les debiles qui propose leurs poké pas rare pas spéciaux contre le dernier légendaire op, ça aurait au moins plus de sens pcq dans les fait a part stocker ses propres pokémon, pokémon home ne sert à rien. Update : on en est à la v4 toujours rien pour filtrer efficacement en GTS, de plus vous serez ravis de voir que si vous cherchez un pokémon à échanger il sera quasiment que contre un floette éternel. Vous ne pouvez pas faire un système de note ou jsp quoi pour crée des échange "équivalent" pcq bon le Méditikka, le Chenipotte ou le Pérégrain (évolution au niveau9) contre un floette éternel ou t’as mis 25h minimum pour l’avoir sa l’a fout un peu les frr. Je parlerais pas de l’infâme version switch ici hein mais bref… 3 étoiles y’a 3ans je descend à 1 étoile. hey tpc réveillez vous, écoutez vos joueurs un minimum :) ### 1/5 — Idk *2026-07-14, version 4.0.2* I don’t know how to get Pokémon ### 2/5 — Apple linking for the game *2026-07-14, version 4.0.2* I have pokemon champions and I downloaded this to link them so that I can have a specific team and I don’t have a Nintendo account so I can’t do that and I really wanted to do that team and now I can’t and I have never done a review before so this is new, I am sorry if this is all terrible ### 1/5 — 게임하지말라는건가요? *2026-07-11, version 4.0.2* 아니,연동하려는데 문자도받고,어카운트 신규작성? 그걸5~6번실패했어요 그냥해도 안돼고,다안돼면 게임을 하라는겁니까? 애초에 이게임이 다른게임이랑도 연동해서 포켓몬주고 그러는건데 연동을 안되게하면 어쩌자는건가요? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I'm stuck *2026-08-24, version 4.0.2* You need to add a way for you to log out of your account because I got impatient and log into a guest account and now I have to delete the app and re-download the app and do this whole mess again Just so that I can link my Nintendo account ### 1/5 — Fix the GTS *2026-08-17, version 4.0.2* The GTS is flooded with people putting up trade “requests” for pokemon that are actually impossible combinations of source game / language etc. It’s near impossible to find legitimate trades because every result is asking for a literally impossible pokemon. ### 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. ### 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. ### 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 😬💔 ### 1/5 — Este juego es horrible *2026-08-05, version 4.0.2* No lo recomiendo es muy dificil todo y es posible perder todo tu progreso en los juegos ### 1/5 — Badness *2026-08-01, version 4.0.2* Why can’t you just put ur support id instead of logging in. ### 1/5 — Scummy business *2026-07-31, version 4.0.2* This app charges you even if you turn off auto renew. Plus they make you go to a different website to turn off. But they still charge you so what is the point. Game freak is so scummy they been charging me for months for something I don’t even use. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review of Pokemon Home *2026-08-17, version 4.0.2* Love this game, especially the trade system! 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Why *2026-08-06, version 4.0.2* Why does every one want a eternal flower floett ### 5/5 — Versions!!!!!! *2026-07-28, version 4.0.2* For some reason this version is version 4.0.2 but my Nintendo is version 4.0.0 so please fix that other than that I love the game. P.S if the developers see this, please update the Nintendo. ### 5/5 — So good *2026-07-15, version 4.0.2* Well I have Pokémon legend za, Let’s go Pikachu Pokémon Scarlet and it is so good transferring a pair of Pokémon that I like to play with them. They’re in this game can also be used on a Nintendo Switch. ### 5/5 — Konsol gerekli *2026-07-12, version 4.0.2* Arkadaşlar bu uygulamayı kullanmak için Nintendo konsolu gerekir ama pokemon go’dan aktarabilirsiniz ve onu pokemon champions’ta kullanabilirsiniz ### 5/5 — How? *2026-07-03, version 4.0.2* How do you name Pokémon? I was able to do it with the Charmander I chose? ### 5/5 — Home *2026-07-01, version 4.0.2* It’s fun and I love all the stuff you can do ### 5/5 — Please add a shiny filter *2026-06-25, version 4.0.2* We should have the option of a shiny filter, to search for rarer trades that are equal example being able to put shinies in gts and request a shiny of what your wanting ### 5/5 — Mükemmel ama konsol lazım *2026-06-20, version 4.0.2* Eğer bi Nintendo konsolunuz varsa ve hesabınızda varsa kesinlikle kullanın --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
