This restriction applies to individual forms; for example, a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Deoxys|Speed Forme]] [[Deoxys]] cannot transfer to a save file that has only seen the Normal, Attack, and Defense Formes of Deoxys. However, this restriction is only enforced on the HOME account that the Pokémon was originally transferred to—if it is traded to a different HOME account, it can be transferred to any compatible core series game. If the Pokémon is traded back to the original HOME account, the restriction will return. | ||
