Move to HOME

The one-way bridge from Bank to HOME.

Pokemon Bank can send its entire collection up into Pokemon HOME, but only in one direction. Once a Pokemon moves from Bank to HOME, it can never go back down to Bank or the 3DS games.

This transfer requires the premium tier of Pokemon HOME and is performed through the HOME app on a Nintendo 3DS paired with the Switch/mobile app. It is the great consolidation: every Pokemon caught from 1996 through the 3DS era can finally live in one modern box - but it is a permanent, upward ratchet.

    The Pokemon now live in HOME and are cut off from Bank forever.
