Ever wondered if it’s possible to send your cherished Pokemon from Pokemon GO to those epic battles in Sword and Shield? Well, you’re not alone in this curiosity!

Let’s dive right into answering the mystery of transferring Pokemon from Pokemon GO to the realms of Sword and Shield.

Short Answer: Yes, But There’s a Catch

Indeed, you can transfer your Pokemon from Pokemon GO to Pokemon Sword and Shield. However, it’s not as straightforward as it sounds. There’s a bit of a process involved.

First, you need to transfer your Pokemon GO catches to Pokemon HOME. Pokemon HOME is like a cloud service for your Pokemon. From there, you can move them to Sword and Shield. But remember, not all Pokemon can make the jump, so you’ll want to check which ones are eligible.

How Does This Magic Happen?

To start the transfer, you’ll need both a Pokemon HOME account and a Pokemon GO account. Once you’ve set everything up, you select the Pokemon you want to transfer in Pokemon GO, send them over to Pokemon HOME, and from Pokemon HOME, move them into Sword and Shield. It’s like a Pokemon road trip!

Keep in mind, transferring Pokemon from GO to HOME to Sword and Shield is a one-way trip. Once they move over to Sword and Shield, they can’t go back to Pokemon GO. So, make sure you’re ready to say goodbye to them in GO.
