[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] is the first game to allow the player to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon GO to a core series title. Only the [[Generation I|first 151]] Pokémon (including [[Alolan form]]s), {{p|Meltan}}, and its [[Evolution|evolved form]], {{p|Melmetal}}, can be transferred. Upon transferring Pokémon to a Let's Go! game or Pokémon HOME for the first time, the player will receive the [[Mystery Box]] in Pokémon GO, which is used to spawn wild Meltan.

On November 10, 2020, the [[GO Transporter]] was made available to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon GO to [[Pokémon HOME]]. Each Pokémon costs a certain amount of GO Transporter Energy to transfer to HOME, depending on its {{stat|CP}} and whether it is {{OBP|Shiny Pokémon|GO|Shiny}}, {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, or {{pkmn2|Mythical}}. The GO Transporter passively recharges Energy, but the player can spend [[PokéCoin]]s to fully recharge the GO Transporter instantly. Pokémon transferred to HOME via the GO Transporter can be sent to {{g|Sword and Shield}} but not Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. After the first transfer to HOME, the player will receive a [[Melmetal]] that can [[Gigantamax]] in Pokémon HOME.<ref>[https://youtu.be/ZZopswCf2oE Introducing Gigantamax Melmetal, the Steel-type Pokémon!

All Shiny Pokémon originating from GO, when used in {{g|Sword and Shield}} versions 1.1.0 or newer, have square sparkles instead of star sparkles. This occurs regardless of the Pokémon's [[personality value]].

On February 27, 2023, support for transferring [[Gift|Postcards]] to {{G|Scarlet and Violet}} was added. After the first transfer to Scarlet or Violet, the player will receive the [[Coin Bag]] in Pokémon GO, which is used to spawn the GO Exclusive [[Gimmighoul (Pokémon)|Roaming Form Gimmighoul]]. After sending a Postcard to Scarlet or Violet for 5 separate days, the player will receive a [[Golden Lure Module]].<ref>https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/connect-pokemon-go-to-pokemon-scarlet-and-pokemon-violet</ref>
