====Transfer from Pokémon GO====
====Compatibility with Pokémon GO====
{{main|GO Transporter}}
{{main|GO Transporter}}


One-way transfers from [[Pokémon GO]] to HOME were made available on November 11, 2020 (November 10 in North America), using the GO Transporter feature from the settings menu. Each Pokémon, depending on various attributes, requires an amount of GO Transport Energy to transfer to Pokémon HOME, which can be regained by using [[PokéCoin]]s or simply waiting.

{{pkmn2|Legendary}} and {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon that were transferred from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME can only be transferred to a Generation VIII core series game if that Pokémon has already been registered in the Pokédex or obtained at least once in that game. However, this restriction only applies to Legendary or Mythical Pokémon stored in the HOME account they were originally transferred to, meaning that if they are traded to a different HOME account then they will be transferrable into a Generation VIII core series game without needing to have been previously obtained. This restriction does not apply to {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}.
Transfers from Pokémon GO are subject to their own different set of limitations, modifications, and microtransactions.
 
Upon the first transfer, the player will also receive a {{p|Melmetal}} that can [[Gigantamax]] in Pokémon HOME.
