Pokémon HOME version 2.0.0 update adds latest game compatibility, special Pokémon Mystery Gifts
The Pokémon Company has revealed that it is updating Pokémon HOME to version 2.0.0, adding compatibility to Pokémon Legends: Arceus and the Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl remakes. This means that as soon as you have downloaded the version 2.0.0 update, you can transfer Pokémon caught in Legends: Arceus and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl to the app and in-between other supported games.
Revealed on the official Pokémon website, the Pokémon HOME version 2.0.0 update doesn’t have a release date. Instead, The Pokémon Company has told us that it “will soon arrive.” The update adds compatibility with the app to all recently released Pokémon titles. You will be able to transfer Pokémon caught in Brilliant Diamond over to Pokémon Sword, for example, using Pokémon HOME as the go-between.

If you catch a Pokémon in Shining Pearl with a Ball that doesn’t exist in Legends: Arceus, it will be placed in a Strange Ball when transferred, and vice-versa. When transferred from Legends: Arceus into Sword/Shield, meanwhile, “they will appear in standard Poké Balls.”
