What Pokémon can be transferred to Scarlet and Violet? (How to transfer Pokémon from home to Scarlet and Violet)
When Pokémon Scarlet and Violet came out, it marked a new chapter for me 😍, but one thing disturbed my peace: abandoning my beloved Pokémon in this new journey.
For weeks, questions lingered in my mind over which Pokémon is transferrable to Scarlet and Violet from Pokémon Home.
After learning from a lot of trials, experiences, and articles, I decided to share with you in this article what Pokémon can be transferred to Scarlet and Violet.

The next step is to move Pokémon to the Home boxes on the right. These represent Scarlet and Violet’s save file. Press the plus button to save the changes and confirm the transfer.
After finishing the transfer, close Pokémon Home and Launch Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
