Update (9/30): Initially spotted by Serebii, in an update on the Pokemon Company Support page, it was clarified that transfers between Pokemon GO and Pokemon Home would have a cooldown that could be sped up by spending PokeCoins.


Original (9/29):

During today’s Pokemon Sword/Shield presentation for The Crown Tundra, The Pokemon Company provided an update on Pokemon Home. It was announced that the app will be receiving support for Pokemon GO by the end of 2020. However, the transfer process may have more involved than initially thought.

The Japanese Pokemon support site seems to suggest that you’ll need PokeCoins if you want to transfer anything over from Pokemon GO to Pokemon Home. It unfortunately doesn’t elaborate on the details. No additional information is provided on how many PokeCoins would be required, and whether they would be needed each time a transfer is performed.

It won’t be much longer until Pokemon GO players can move their creatures over to Pokemon Home. This functionality is set to arrive by the end of 2020, The Pokemon Company has announced.

If you send a Pokemon from Pokemon GO to Pokemon Home, players can open a Mystery Box in the mobile game which comes with Meltan. You’ll also receive a Mystery Gift in Pokemon Home with a special Melmetal that can Gigantamax.

Fire Emblem Heroes is hosting a new Bound Hero Battle and corresponding Summoning Focus starting today.

A summoning Focus paired with this event, Ranulf & Lethe’s Battle, will also be available until October 11. It features the Heroes RanulfL Friend of Nations, Lethe: Gallia’s Valkyrie, and Mordecai: Kindhearted Tiger.

Today the 2nd Anniversary raid event goes live, and a new Gala Dragalia along with it. Zethia is suddenly transported 1,000 years into the past… What truths await at the end of a journey through time and space itself? The Gala Dragalia summon showcase goes live at 11PM PST.
