Not sure I understand the question.

It's one code per transfer, but you can do it multiple times. You can move from Bank to Home, but never back the other way.

Bank is free for a month, and Home costs like $5 for a month.

Ok great, yeah I was wondering if I could get another code to do multiple transfers. I'm only transferring a few Pokemon right now just to familiarize myself with the service.

Not willing to transfer my collection yet, especially since most of them will just be sitting there unable to be used.

Don't use the autofill for the password and it will work.

Already tried that. Still fails for me. Maybe it's cause I also have 2FA on?

For me, on iOS, I clicked the safari icon in the bottom right corner when Home brings up the login page. I then logged in through safari, which then prompted me to open up Home. This fixed it for me. I also had 2FA on.

Can you see what ribbons your Pokemon has? They... don't lose their ribbons do they?

I got a month of a Home and moved over some Pokemon from X to it. A handful can't be moved into Sword yet. Am I correct that after my month is up they'll just be deleted or will they be locked to home until I subscribe again?

abellwillring · Feb 12, 2020

Downloaded the app on my Switch and my phone. The Switch app works great — moved a few guys from Let's Go over. I'll have to get back to transferring Pokémon from Go! But the phone app seems a little wonky. I put 3 in the Wonder Box and none have traded in like an hour. Anyone had any luck with it?

Did it give a timeframe for when the HT would be restored?

Pretty much everything outside of the GTS seems busted for me.

It was in Japanese, so I'm not exactly sure on the specifics, but I think they just said a later date.

VonGreckler · Feb 12, 2020

Well it's been over 24 hours since I transferred my Pokémon and they entered limbo... no access to home anymore and bank is empty.

Error Code 999 every time I try to login to home. Nintendo says to contact Pokémon and Pokémon has only email support with no response sofar...
Really really hope I didn't just pay 16 bucks to have all my Pokémon dating back to FireRed deleted.

I left mine up 1) overnight and got them when I woke up so after about seven or so hours and then 2) at lunch so after about six hours. I'm sure they can do it quicker but that's when I checked.

Cheers. The random trade room thing seems completely nonsensical haha.

Raspyberry · Feb 12, 2020

Is this the right place? I have 4 meltan for trade for random legendaries. Zygarde, zamazenta, jirachi, marshadow. Apparently can only trade meltan with friends so let me know. 👍

Christ, I hope not either, that would be downright awful. I already think the way they've gone about Home is terrible to say the least, but major errors like this that could potentially wipe your entire collection is unforgivable. I never intended to pay this anything for this service, but definitely won't now just to risk having 15+ years of Pokemon wiped from existence.

Really hope this works out for you and that it's just some weird temporary fuck-up. Were you using the mobile or Switch app?

Switch app.
Although I cant access my account on either Switch or Mobile right now.

Mejilan · Feb 13, 2020

Hooooo-leeee shit.

Mad props to rc213 for trading me both a Meltan and a Melmetal just now.
I REALLY didn't want to touch Pokemon Go or Pokemon Let's Go, and now my Living Pokedex has jumped from 807 to 809, and I am officially ready to start up the Galar games and complete the National Dex up to and including Gen 8!

Thank you so very much!

ohlawd · Feb 13, 2020

any way to filter Home on Switch so I only see Pokemon I can transfer back to SwSh? the red sign is hard for me to see

edit: gotta press X and tick compatible games

There's got to be something to fix it. I'm hoping that since it's apparently tied to your account, it still transferred and will be there when you're able to access it again. Maybe try deleting the app and downloading it again?

Robin64 · Feb 13, 2020

Got a 1.0.3 update on iOS listed as "Bug fixes".
Still didn't give me the Rotom for using GTS.

I'm on 1.03 on Android, and I just got my Rotom, finally.
I don't think you'll get it if you complete a GTS transaction someone else initiated. (I've done a few of those already).
I'm pretty sure you'll only get your Rotom if you initiate a GTS transaction by depositing a Pokemon yourself, and waiting for someone to accept it.

Pedro · Feb 13, 2020

I'm looking at the Pokédex for any missing forms, and I notice that Greninja has 3 forms (normal Greninja, Ash-Greninja, ???), Rockruff has 2 (normal Rockruff, ???), and Magearna also has 2 (normal Magearna, ???). Does anyone know what those are and could tell me? I know it's not a shiny nor a gender difference.

Pokemon Go, Let's Go Pikachu and Shield here. If anyone needs a Meltan I've got around 70 I can giveaway. Got about 10 transferred to Home now only cause damn are those buggers hard to catch in the Let's Go Park.

I'd love one if the offer is still available!

That said, I only started again with Let's Go/Sword so I don't really have anything of equivalent value in exchange. If that's okay, just let me know!

No worries I got a ton of em, Just pm me link code and name when ready.

Robin64 · Feb 13, 2020

Oh man, Home also has challenges for "good ol' Kanto" and "good ol' Johto". Time to fire up the 3DS Virtual Console games!

Battle Bond Greninja
Own Tempo Rockruff (evolves into Dusk Form)

Both of those don't seem to register. I have them both in HOME

Original Color Magearna

This form was seen in the movie Volcanion & The Mechanical Marvel and is the original colour Magearna was before time passed. It was coded into SMUSUM and never used. We're awaiting its release but the fact it's listed while Eternal Flower Floette isn't indicates we may get it soon. It's currently unavailable.

Briefly, there was a gift of a Magearna for finishing the dex, but that seemed to have been removed. They could be wanting to put this one in.

OK, so it's picked up my Pokedex from the 3DS box, but I can't work out how to add my Shield Pokedex to Home outside of moving all Pokemon over which... No. Is there an easy way to just get Home to read it?

Anyone know how to do this yet?

Robin64 · Feb 13, 2020

Hasney said:

I'm afraid you were right, you have to move them all over from SwSh into Home.

Edge · Feb 13, 2020

That doesn't really seem legit, came from the wonder box. 🤔

Robin64 · Feb 13, 2020

I would agree, especially with an OT of Smogon.

The Shadow Knight · Feb 13, 2020

It might be from a giveaway they did. It might be RNG abused rather than hacked, but there's really no way to tell.

Sandfox · Feb 13, 2020

Smogon OT is what the old GTS hack site from gen 5 used, which is why it's from Unova.

Oh, that's interesting to know. Thanks.

Btw. Are Pokemon with 5 perfect stats good for competitive or does it have to be all perfect stats?

Caught myself an almost perfect Nidoran on Let's Go back then with just a millimeter off to one side. 😅

Reszo · Feb 13, 2020

I guess i should wait before moving all my pokemon from my 3DS until they are all supported this gen right?

For the most part you only need five because a Pokemon will typically only use one of it's attack stats. There are exceptions though where you want both maxed or want zero speed to make your Pokemon as slow as possible, but those are mostly for specific team builds.

If one stat is a bit off it honestly won't make too much of a difference outside of speed ivs and Pokemon with close speed.

The slight drop in S.Def probably won't ever matter too much. The nature not being optimal is a bigger issue though, though a Mint could fix this.
The biggest issue is that it probably doesn't have Hustle, which becomes Sheer Force on Nidoking, which it really needs to be useable.

Nightbird · Feb 13, 2020

Not gonna lie, I was very happy to see that all the 420 Pokémon I put into Bank were still there, and this one was my biggest surprise:

Edge · Feb 13, 2020

Ok, thanks. So I can make a label or box with, at least, potentially good Pokemon and look through the specifics later. Cause I have a lot of them with 5 perfect stats.

Serebii · Feb 13, 2020

Remembered that my Armaldo was part of the Living Dex so was shifted to HOME :)

Teeny · Feb 13, 2020

I don't know wtf is going on. I tried to transfer from Bank to Home via the 'No 3DS' option and when I tried to log in a while later, I got "Moving from Pokemon Bank has failed".

So I dug the old 3DS out just to make sure I had everything correct, which I did. I tried using the 'Move Pokemon to Pokemon Home' option in Bank and that gives me a "Communication with the server was interrupted during your previous session, so the server has been locked." error message.

Both Home and Bank tell me to wait a while and try again, but I get the same thing. Hopefully whatever issue this is gets rectified soon.

Is there a way to evolve it without Go and Let's Go ?

Pokémon games usually put accounts on a temporary blacklist after some sort of failed network connectivity, to avoid people discovering/using soft-reset exploits.
Unfortunately the net is very wide and flags quite a few false positives, like your situation now. It also happened a lot when SwSh first came out and some surprise trades were failing and getting people on the temp blacklist.

In this case, "a while" doesn't mean a few minutes, it's a matter of hours. Some people have reported one or more days, but my experience was just a few hours.

Ah, that sucks :( Well, it's lasted overnight so far, guess I will continue to wait. If it is a blacklist, they should specify an actual time frame imo.

Thanks for the info.

Do Fire/Leaf count as "Kanto" or "good ol' Kanto"?

Illusion · Feb 13, 2020

Just transferred some mons. I didn't think or even could fathom paying for this service but I'm weak.

Fuck you Gamefreak for having this service that I'm now paying for. Fuck you.

Also: If there is a kind soul out there with a Melmetal looking for a good home. Please let me know >w<
