The GO Transporter (Japanese: 転送装置 Transporter) is a feature in Pokémon GO that allows the player to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME. It was made available on November 11, 2020 (November 10, 2020 in North America). It is accessed by selecting Pokémon HOME from the settings Connected Devices and Services menu.
The GO Transporter is one-way; Pokémon sent to HOME cannot be sent back to GO. Pokémon transferred via the GO Transporter also cannot be moved to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, but can be moved to Generation VIII and Generation IX games.
Using the GO Transporter can also unlock the Mystery Box.
Connectivity
If a Pokémon GO account and a Pokémon HOME account are connected to the same Nintendo Account, and that Pokémon HOME account has been opened on a mobile device before, then the GO Transporter can be used to send Pokémon from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME.
The Pokémon HOME Premium Plan is not required to access the GO Transporter.
Restrictions
Up to 25 Pokémon may be sent through the GO Transporter at a time. Once Pokémon have been sent to Pokémon HOME via GO Transporter, they must be received in Pokémon HOME before more Pokémon can be sent.
The player cannot transfer a Pokémon that is currently set as a Favorite, defending a Gym, placed at a Power Spot, set as the Buddy Pokémon, Mega-Evolved, or Fused. The player also cannot transfer their last Dynamax Pokémon. In addition, the following Pokémon and forms cannot be sent to HOME:
- Shadow Pokémon (but Purified Pokémon can be)
- Event Pokémon (also known as costumed Pokémon)
- Gigantamax Pokémon[1]
- Spinda
- Origin Forme Dialga
- Origin Forme Palkia
- Hoopa Unbound (but Hoopa Confined can be)
- Zygarde
Once sent to Pokémon HOME via GO Transporter, Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (except Meltan and Melmetal) can only be moved to a core series game if they have been registered to the Pokédex of that game or obtained at least once in that game. This restriction applies to individual forms; for example, a 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.
GO Transporter Energy
GO Transporter Energy (Japanese: 転送エナジー Transfer Energy) is required for each Pokémon that is transferred. The GO Transporter can store a maximum of 10,000 GO Transporter Energy at one time, and it automatically recharges 60 GO Transporter Energy per hour. As such, it takes 6 days, 22 hours, and 40 minutes to fully recharge a GO Transporter from 0 Energy. Players can also pay PokéCoins, at 1 for 10 Energy, to instantly and fully recharge the GO Transporter.
The amount of GO Transporter Energy required by the GO Transporter to transfer a Pokémon depends on several factors. The base cost is determined by whether the Pokémon is Legendary, Mythical, or an Ultra Beast. Further costs are added depending on the Pokémon's CP and whether it is Shiny. All costs are capped at 10,000.
Costs | Normal | Legendary Ultra Beast |
Mythical | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Base | 10 | 1,000 | 2,000 | |
Shiny | 1,990 | 9,000 | 8,000 | |
CP | 1,001 - 2,000 | 100 | 300 | 500 |
2,000+ | 300 | 500 | 700 | |
Max cost | 2,300 | 10,000 | 10,000 |
Modifications to transported Pokémon
Pokémon are modified in a similar way to how they are modified when transferred via the GO Park, although the conversion is not exactly the same.
Form
Forms are preserved by the GO Transporter, if they can exist in Pokémon HOME. Purified Pokémon become regular Pokémon.
Unlike Pokémon Bank (which changes Furfrou to Natural Form when deposited), Furfrou will preserve its different trims when deposited in HOME via the GO Transporter.
Pokémon in forms that they can only take in battle in the core series games, or that have special requirements that would not be met in Pokémon HOME, revert to their default form when transported to HOME. The player is warned about this form change on the confirmation screen before transporting the Pokémon. The following lists the alternate forms that change to the base form upon transfer.
Pokémon | Base form | Alternate forms |
---|---|---|
Castform | Normal Form |
|
Cherrim | Overcast Form |
Sunshine Form |
Giratina | Altered Forme |
Origin Forme |
Genesect | Normal Form |
Origin
Pokémon transferred from Pokémon GO have Pokémon GO as their game of origin, resulting in them having the origin mark.
The Pokémon's language of origin is the language that was originally set in the mobile version of Pokémon HOME the first time that the player used it. This language value is visible on the Profile screen of the mobile version of Pokémon HOME. The current language of Pokémon HOME and Pokémon GO have no impact on the Pokémon's language of origin.

The Pokémon's level will be the same as its power up level in Pokémon GO, rounded down to the nearest integer. This means that Pokémon transported from Pokémon GO can range from level 1 to level 50.
Moves
The moves that a Pokémon knew in Pokémon GO have no bearing on its moves in HOME. In the Pokémon's default data set (which is used when moving it to Pokémon Sword and Shield), its moves are reset to moves it would know in the wild at its current level (i.e. its most recent level-up moves at that level). The game whose learnset is used depends on the Pokémon's species:
- If the Pokémon is present in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it uses its learnset from those games, even if this learnset contains moves unusable in Pokémon Sword and Shield.[2]
- Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in Pokémon Sword and Shield, it uses its learnset from those games.
- Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in Pokémon Sun and Moon, it uses its learnset from those games.
- Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it uses its learnset from that game.
- Otherwise, if the Pokémon is present in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, it uses its learnset from those games.
Original Trainer and nickname
No Original Trainer information from Pokémon GO is kept. The Pokémon's Original Trainer is set to the player's name and Trainer ID in the mobile version of Pokémon HOME.
The Pokémon GO Trainer who sent the Pokémon to HOME is listed on the Pokémon's summary screen in Pokémon HOME. Prior to Pokémon HOME version 2.0.0, this information would be lost if it was moved to a Generation VIII game; this information is now preserved. The Pokémon GO Trainer name is not listed for Pokémon that were transferred from GO to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!.
The Pokémon's nickname is removed, reverting to its species name in its language of origin.
Met date
The Pokémon's met date is the date it was obtained in Pokémon GO. For hatched Pokémon, this is the date they were hatched rather than the date their Egg was received (unless they were hatched before hatch dates were recorded).
Poké Ball
The Pokémon's Poké Ball will be the same as the Poké Ball it was caught in in Pokémon GO. Pokémon hatched from Eggs will be contained in a standard Poké Ball.
This contrasts with Pokémon that were transferred from Pokémon GO to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and then placed in Pokémon HOME—those Pokémon instead use the Poké Ball that was used to catch them in the GO Park, rather than the one that was used in Pokémon GO.
IVs
The Pokémon's IVs are calculated from its IVs in Pokémon GO. In Pokémon HOME, its IVs are equal to one more than twice their corresponding IV in GO (i.e. ). As a result, the maximum possible IV for a transferred Pokémon is 31 (the maximum possible for any Pokémon) while the minimum is 1, and the IVs are all guaranteed to be odd.
The following are the corresponding GO IVs for each IV in Pokémon HOME. Speed has no corresponding IV in Pokémon GO, so it is instead randomly generated upon transfer (making it the only IV of a Pokémon transferred from GO that can be even).
Core series IV | GO IV |
---|---|
HP | HP |
Attack | Attack |
Defense | Defense |
Special Attack | Attack |
Special Defense | Defense |
Speed | N/A |
Due to this calculation enforcing that all of the Pokémon's IVs except Speed are odd, Pokémon transferred from GO will always have either Ice- or Dark-type Hidden Power in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. (Hidden Power's type is determined differently in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.)
Example
If a Galarian Zigzagoon with these IVs in Pokémon GO is transferred to HOME:
Hit Points | Attack | Defense | |
---|---|---|---|
8 | 15 | 4 |
It could have this set of IVs after transfer:
Hit Points | Attack | Defense | Speed | Sp. Attack | Sp. Defense | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
17 | 31 | 9 | 25 | 31 | 9 |
Nature
The Pokémon's Nature is randomly generated upon transfer.
Ability
The Pokémon's Ability is randomly selected from the Pokémon's standard Abilities as of Pokémon Sword and Shield.
Height and weight
The Pokémon's height and weight are retained, but display the species default value instead when viewed in HOME. (In contrast, Pokémon transferred from GO via Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee! display their unique height and weight values from Pokémon GO in Pokémon HOME.) If transferred into Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it will display its unique height and weight values in that game, despite not displaying them in HOME.
Dynamax
No Dynamax information from Pokémon GO is kept. All Pokémon are set to a Dynamax Level of 0, regardless of the levels of their Max Moves.
Bugs
- Prior to November 16, 2020, Alolan and Galarian forms of Generation I Pokémon used the learnsets of their original forms from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, rather than the learnsets of their actual forms, causing the Pokémon to be able to know moves they otherwise would not. An official announcement was made regarding the issue, and it has since been fixed and the affected Pokémon's moves have been replaced.
- The fix was introduced with v1.2.1 of the Nintendo Switch version of Pokémon HOME, released on December 9, 2020, UTC. When the Switch version of HOME and a Pokémon Sword or Shield save file are linked, all Pokémon affected by the bug (including those in the party, the nursery, and Poké Jobs) are fixed.[3]
- When it first became possible to transfer Hisuian Voltorb and Electrode on May 24, 2022, they initially used their Kantonian form's learnset from Pokémon Sun and Moon as long as they were not transferred onward to Pokémon Legends: Arceus.[4] This bug was resolved in September 2022.
- Sometime on or before June 11, 2022, Galarian Slowking could obtain the Ability Unseen Fist upon transfer from GO, and would keep it on transfer to Pokémon Sword and Shield. However, it would then not be allowed in online trades or battles unless the player used an Ability Capsule or Ability Patch.[5] This bug was resolved on December 14, 2022—any Galarian Slowking with Unseen Fist in HOME have their Ability corrected to Curious Medicine.
- On June 15, 2023, between 09:00 UTC and 15:10 UTC, transferred Pokémon would have their current experience set to 0xFFFFFFFF (4,294,967,295 or -1 depending on implementation signedness), causing them to appear as level 1 in the mobile version of HOME and level 100 in the Switch version of HOME. This also blocked them from online trades in HOME and online trades in all games except Pokémon Legends: Arceus, as well as causing them to display a current experience of -1 in Pokémon Sword and Shield and causing the summary to crash the game in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. If the Pokémon was compatible with a Switch game, players could normalize the experience to the regular level 100 maximum by (for example) sending out the Pokémon in a battle.
- Pokémon HOME entered maintenance on August 8, 2023, during which affected Pokémon deposited into HOME were normalized to level 100. Pokémon not deposited can also be normalized by depositing them after maintenance ended.
