Pokémon Home: What happens to Pokémon moves when transferring?

When you bring Pokémon from one of your games and deposit them on Pokémon Home, you have the option of bringing several of your favorite Pokémon with you. They'll be able to track you down in future Pokémon adventures as additional games are released and made available. Depending on where they go, they may have a different moveset than in their initial game. We'll go over what happens to Pokémon moves when you transfer them with Pokémon Home in this guide.

What happens to Pokémon moves

It's crucial to remember that the answer varies based on whatever game the Pokémon are in. Their original game will likewise be significant. Furthermore, you cannot enter a game with a Pokémon that does not exist in the Poké Dex.

What happens to Pokémon moves in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

When you import a Pokémon from Pokémon Home into Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, their moveset will be changed. It will be based on a Pokémon that would appear in that game. If you transport a level 25 Eevee from Pokémon Legends: Arceus or Pokémon Sword and Shield to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, for example, the level 25 Eevee's attacks will modify to line more closely with those found in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. It will also appear in a Strange Ball if the Pokémon is from Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

What happens to Pokémon moves in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Similar to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, there will be limits when transporting a Pokémon onto Pokémon Legends: Arceus. If you bring a Pokémon from the games Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Sword and Shield, it will have a unique moveset that is more similar to a Pokémon found in the Arceus wild. The same logic applies to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Because Arceus uses a different fighting system than other Pokémon games, some Pokémon moves will be substantially different.

What happens to Pokémon moves in Pokémon Sword and Shield

There are no move restrictions when you introduce a Pokémon into Pokémon Sword and Shield as long as the Pokémon is available in the game. If Sword and Shield do not allow the move, your Pokémon will be unable to use it in battle. When you try to use the attack against an opponent in a fight, you receive a notification stating that your Pokémon cannot use it and that it would be better if they forgot about it.
