* Similarly to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], [[Effort values|EVs]] and [[Individual values|IVs]] have been replaced by [[effort level]]s.
* Similarly to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], [[Effort values|EVs]] and [[Individual values|IVs]] have been replaced by [[effort level]]s.
* The mechanics of [[evolution]] have been changed. If a Pokémon achieves the requirement for an evolution (other than those that use [[Evolution item]]s), it will not evolve immediately, but instead gain the ability to evolve, with the player being able to activate the evolution at any point afterwards (at which point it cannot be canceled with the B Button). Additionally, several [[methods of evolution]] have been slightly changed:

If a Pokémon achieves the requirement for an evolution (other than those that use [[Evolution item]]s), it will not evolve immediately, but instead gain the ability to evolve, with the player being able to activate the evolution at any point afterwards by pressing the X button on it in the menu (at which point it cannot be canceled with the B Button). Additionally, several [[methods of evolution]] have been slightly changed:
** Pokémon that evolved by leveling up but also required some other condition to be met now only require for said other condition to be met, not needing to be leveled up (for example, Pokémon that previously evolved by leveling up with high [[friendship]] are now able to evolve immediately after achieving high friendship).
** Pokémon that evolved by leveling up but also required some other condition to be met now only require for said other condition to be met, not needing to be leveled up (for example, Pokémon that previously evolved by leveling up with high [[friendship]] are now able to evolve immediately after achieving high friendship).
*** As in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve by training in a certain location|Pokémon that evolve in certain locations]] can now also evolve using [[Evolution stone]]s, but unlike in said game, this now applies to {{p|Eevee}} evolving into {{p|Glaceon}} and {{p|Nosepass}} evolving into {{p|Probopass}} as well.

Any Pokémon brought in from outside of the game will have their Poké Ball displayed as a [[Strange Ball]], due to the invalid Poké Ball ID not being otherwise recognised in this game. Additionally, when a Pokémon originating from another game first enters this game, its moveset is changed to its four most recent level-up moves by default (though the player can make alterations as of HOME's version 3.0.0, released on May 30, 2023), but its original moves will be restored if it is returned to HOME. The Pokémon will also not have its [[origin mark]] displayed if it was brought from {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
