Once sent to HOME, {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon (with the exception of {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}) may only be transferred to Pokémon Sword or Shield if they have been registered to 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, if they are traded to a different HOME account then they will be transferrable into Pokémon Sword or Shield without needing to have been previously obtained.

==GO Transporter Energy==
==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 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 zero Energy. Players can also pay [[PokéCoin]]s, at {{PCoin}}1 for 10 Energy, to instantly and fully recharge the GO Transporter.

The cost required by the GO Transporter depends on several factors: its [[CP]], whether it is {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or {{pkmn2|Mythical}}, and whether it is [[Shiny Pokémon (GO)|Shiny]]. All costs are capped at 10,000.

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.)

Prior to November 16, 2020, [[Regional form|Alolan and Galarian Forms]] of {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} used the learnsets of their original forms from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] or {{g|Sword and Shield}}, rather than the learnsets of their actual forms, causing the Pokémon to be able to know moves they otherwise would not.

The Pokémon GO Trainer who sent the Pokémon to HOME is listed in the Pokémon's summary screen on Pokémon.

This contrasts with Pokémon that were transferred from Pokémon GO to Let's Go, then placed in Pokémon HOME—those Pokémon have the Poké Ball they were caught in in GO Park rather than the one they were caught in in Pokémon GO.

====IVs====
====IVs====
The Pokémon's {{IV}}s 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. <code>HOME = 2 × GO + 1</code>). As a result, the maximum possible IV for a transferred Pokémon is 31 (the maximum possible for any Pokémon) while the minimum is 1.
