Yes, you can still transfer your Pokémon from Pokémon Bank to Pokémon HOME. Although the Nintendo 3DS eShop closed in March 2023, making new downloads of Pokémon Bank unavailable, existing users who had previously downloaded the app can continue to use it. Additionally, Pokémon Bank has become free to use since the eShop closure.
To transfer your Pokémon, follow these steps:
Update Pokémon Bank: Ensure that Pokémon Bank on your Nintendo 3DS is updated to version 1.5 or newer.
Link Accounts: Link the Nintendo Network ID used with Pokémon Bank to the Nintendo Account associated with Pokémon HOME.
Initiate Transfer in Pokémon HOME:
On the Nintendo Switch version of Pokémon HOME, select "Move" from the main menu.
Choose "Begin Move" to generate a Moving Key.
Enter Moving Key in Pokémon Bank:
Open Pokémon Bank on your 3DS and select "Move Pokémon to Pokémon HOME."
Enter the Moving Key generated by Pokémon HOME within three minutes.
Transfer Completion: Once the Moving Key is entered, the transfer will begin, moving your selected Pokémon from Bank to HOME.
Please note that this is a one-way transfer; Pokémon moved to HOME cannot be returned to Bank.
Given the discontinuation of certain online services for the Nintendo 3DS, it's advisable to transfer your Pokémon to Pokémon HOME at your earliest convenience to ensure their safety.
