Does trading/friend trading work on the app yet? Trying to do so with a friend but it's not working.

I used the Pokémon Bank free trial period to transfer over my handful of shinies, competitive Pokémon, and Sword Exclusives to Home. Then, I basically stored everything else back in Moon because I don't want to rely on this subscription service in the years to come.
I'm tired of transferring everything. I'd much rather start over with my dex completion because it's more fun that way.

Anyway, I'm proud to say that my Hitmontop from Pokémon Colosseum made it over to Shield. Oh the journey it has been through.

Of course at this moment I do not know where I put my 3ds. Look forward to giving this a try. Neat to hear that the pokemon dex entries from bank gets registered to the new games.

Anyone else notice their Hyper Trained stats disappear with the Bank to Home migration?

Was curious about this as I was planning to hypertrain some legendaries before sending over.

I haven't checked my Bank Pokemon, but I did notice that both Hyper Trained stats and Minted natures seemed to disappear when I put Pokemon from Shield into Home--but they reappeared once I transferred back to Shield. Might be the same situation here.

Oh interesting, the annual premium account is not priced the same depending on your device. On my Switch it is 15.99€, on iOS, 17.99€.

So I guess if a Pokémon has an exclamation point on one of its moves, it's SOL and can't be transferred to SWSH?

I can't trade a Meltan because he's special? How can I get a non-special meltan?

Brought in the couple of shineys I had in Let's Go (Pikachu, Rhydon and Scyther) but the only one registered in the Pokedex that lets me toggle between normal and shiney is Rhydon; Pikachu and Scyther have the shiney option greyed out still. Weird.

Edit: turns out both of the two not displaying in the dex are female and have sexual dimorphism, and the dex only shows you the shiney for the one you've caught. I still had the toggle on male, so the option was greyed out.

It's not. All the Bank Pokémon I moved to Sword lost their Hyper Training when I checked them in-game.

I have a paid year of Bank, so as of now I'll use Home to transfer pokemon directly from it to Sword, leaving the rest on Bank

Didn't expect a shadow drop o.o

Is Bank free and if so how long? I heard when home comes out they'd make bank free for a bit.

Yeah it free right now and for a month period. I used it to move over all the pokemon I got from the used copy of Platnium and White I had to HOME. I going through the series but just can't bring myself to delete the save with the legendary pokemon and high level mons.

Do we know of this counts towords the pokemon that will be coming at expansion pass?
Not yet but it will. Presently these 3 dozen Pokémon that weren't in the game can now be used

Transfer Only Pokémon - Pokémon Sword & Shield

Transfer Only Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Sword & Shield for Nintendo Switch. Lists all the Pokémon that can only be found in the game through transfer or events
They shouldn't since the ability to add them Sword and Shield isn't being added with the patches.
What? Yes it is. They said that.
So I've been without a 3DS for over 2yrs. Is my Pokémon Bank Pokémon deleted?
There's an option for "No 3DS" when moving from Bank. It brings everything over if it's connected to the same Nintendo Account as HOME

Can't find it on the Play Store. Has it been released on mobile too?

Wouldn't surprise me if Sword & Shield was basically running on a souped up version of the engine used for ORAS. Though it just makes things all the more irritating that the PSS was cut. But oops, I'm not supposed to complain about that because #Dexit.

This is a stupid post on multiple levels. First, this is no place to try to derail the thread with the Dexit bullshit. Second, if anything, it would be running on a souped up version of SUMO/USUM engine.

He's asking if the 35 from today will count towards the 200 being added in when the expansions release and I'm saying they shouldn't because they are already capable of being transferred over to the games. Unless of course you have knowledge about it that I don't.

Can anyone give a rundown as to what this is for the uninitiated? Do I have any reason to use this if I enjoy Pokemon games, but don't care about storing and transferring my Pokemon from one game to another?

When I click on a Pokemon in a box on the Switch it only wants me to move it, I can only look at the details of a Pokemon in the complete overview after pressing X is that correct?

Kinda weird.

Also, it's crazy how different both apps look. I really like the design of the Switch app a lot more, like the Pokedex looks fantastic on it, it looks a bit worse on mobile, the Boxes look great because they look like we know them for years and it's not on the mobile version, but, the mobile version has literally all the features like trading, GTS, wonder box, sticker, 3D Pokemon (which look great, native 1440p on my phone).
So the Switch app has a hugely better design and overview but is useless besides trading from and to games.
While the mobile app has all the cool features and the instant accessibility, but looks worse.

There's basically only one thing I care about regarding this service (until the DLC is out, in which case I'll subscribe temporarily): what are the methods for getting BP? Because if you can get BP just from doing trading n' shit via Pokemon HOME, I'll totally use it, smartphone and all.
