Thanks to the release of Pokémon Home's 2.0 update on May 18th 2022, you can transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl to Home.

It's important to note that transferring Pokémon to a game they weren't orginally caught in, such as from Legends: Arceus to Brilliant Diamond, may cause the Pokémon's moves and level to change. You may even find that Pokémon's Poké Ball has changed too!

You can also only deposit Pokémon that can be caught once during regular Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl gameplay once per save data in Pokémon Home.

Meanwhile, Origin Forme Dialga, Palkia and Giratina will revert to their base form, as will Arceus, when transferred to Pokémon Home. Sky Forme Shaymin, however, will remain the same upon being deposited in Home.

Alpha Pokémon transferred into Home from Legends: Arceus will retain their Alpha status, along with the symbol which represents this fact.

When it comes to transferring Pokémon from Pokémon Go into Pokémon Sword and Shield, you must first ensure you've either already caught said Pokémon or that its registered in the Galar Pokédex.

You can also only transfer Pokémon which appear in the Galar Pokédex into Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! also have a similar ceveat - where you can only transfer Gen 1 Pokémon into either game, since neither game has a National Pokédex.

It's also important to know that if a Pokémon orginally from Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee! is transferred into Sword and Shield, it can not be moved back to either of the Let's Go games. You can, however, easily transfer Pokémon between the two Let's Go games.

Premium tier Pokémon Home players also have the ability to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Bank into Pokémon Home - freeing them from the confines of the Nintendo 3DS. Yet, if you transfer a Pokémon from Bank, you won't be able to move it back.

Our dedicated how to transfer Pokémon to Pokémon Home page explains how to do all this in further detail.

Finally, when a Pokémon orginally caught in Pokémon Sword, Shield, Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl is transferred into Legends: Arceus they will be kept in a Strange Ball; with the same thing occuring if you transfer a Pokémon from Legends: Arceus into Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl.

This change occurs because the modern day Poké Balls don't exist during the time period of Legends: Arceus, just like how the primitive Poké Balls of the Hisui era are no longer used in the modern day Pokémon world.
