How to receive Pokémon in the mobile device version of Pokémon HOME
The Pokémon you transfer from Pokémon GO will not be automatically placed in your Pokémon Boxes in Pokémon HOME. You need to receive the Pokémon in Pokémon HOME before they appear in your Pokémon Boxes.
1. Open Pokémon HOME.
2. When prompted Would you like to receive them?, tap Yes.
3. Tap View transferred Pokémon.
4. View the list of transferred Pokémon, then tap Receive Pokémon.
5. When you see Pokémon received displayed on your screen, the transfer will be complete, and you will be able to manage the Pokémon you received in your Pokémon Boxes.
If you accidentally select No when prompted to Receive Pokémon, you can still receive your Pokémon by restarting the application and selecting Yes. Alternatively, you can go to Options > Pokémon GO Link > Receive to initiate the process to receive your Pokémon again.
If you are unable to receive Pokémon after tapping Receive Pokémon, you can try clearing space in your Pokémon Boxes if they are full and then going to Options > Pokémon GO Link > Receive to initiate the process to receive your Pokémon again.
Note: If there are Pokémon that you have not yet received, you will not be able to transfer more Pokémon from Pokémon GO.
How to receive Pokémon in the Nintendo Switch version of Pokémon HOME

2. If there are Pokémon that have been transferred, you can select Receive to send them to your Pokémon Boxes in Pokémon HOME.

Additional requirements must be met in order to bring certain Pokémon caught in Pokémon GO and transferred to Pokémon HOME into Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield.

A list of these Pokémon can be found by going to the Help menu in the mobile device version of Pokémon HOME and selecting Other.
FAQ
1. Why can’t I withdraw or deposit Spinda into Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Pokémon Shining Pearl?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to deposit a Spinda caught in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Pokémon Shining Pearl into Pokémon HOME. It is also not possible to transfer a Spinda from Pokémon HOME into Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Pokémon Shining Pearl if it was originally moved from Pokémon Bank.
2. Why did my Pokémon’s moves change?
The moves a Pokémon can learn may differ between Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, Pokémon Sword, Pokémon Shield, and other Pokémon games. For this reason, if a Pokémon is moved via Pokémon HOME to a game where it cannot learn its current move set, then its move set will be replaced with moves that it is able to learn in the target software.
Your Pokémon’s move set is saved for each game that you have linked to Pokémon HOME. This means that even if its moves change after being transferred to a game where all or some of its original move set is unavailable, returning that Pokémon to a game it’s been to before will restore the last move set it had prior to being transferred out of it.
3. Why can’t I deposit Nincada into my game?
Whether a Nincada can be deposited into different games depends on the game it originates from.
- Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl
Nincada caught in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Pokémon Shining Pearl can only be deposited into Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Pokémon Shining Pearl.
- Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield
Nincada caught in Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield can only be deposited into Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield.
- Pokémon Bank and Pokémon GO
Nincada moved from Pokémon Bank or transferred from Pokémon GO can only be deposited into Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield.
