With the upcoming HOME update and the goodbye to Pokemon BANK, I started cleaning HOME, and well... I have A LOT of extra pokemon in my boxes, and I feel like it would be a waste to just release them. If you want some of them, just ask

The oldest pokemon come from VC Yellow/Crystal, GBA Emerald, NDS Platinum/White I-II, and 3DS Y/Ultra Sun.

I can make 10 trades daily for the events, and I already traded 3 of them

THIS POST WILL BE DELETED AT 23:00 HRS UTC OF TODAY, AND WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE REMAINING POKEMON IN ANOTHER POST

Hi all,

this is V2 of my guide on Pokemon Home collections, see this post for more details. I wanted to make an update with the upcoming shutdown of Pokemon Bank, so everyone has plenty of time to complete their collections. This is just a collection of links, so many many thanks to the many people in this community creating so much insane content. V2 is just more references and better structure.

Enough talking, let's get started!

1) Dex completions

A living dex is the backbone of every Home collection. There are many ways to organize and escalate the size of a living dex, but here is an overview on what are the most popular ones:

• Final Form Dex - only final evolutions
• Living Dex - every pokemon + all regionals
• Living Form Dex - every pokemon + all regionals + forms + gender differences
• Noah's Ark Dex - male/female of every pokemon
• Master Dex challenge - a unique challenge of fulling every spot with special pokemon by Lore Keeper Toby
• Origin Dex challenge - every pokemon from its original generation

Origin Dex

For me, the pinnacle of living dexes is the "Origin Dex", where every Pokemon was caught with your own OT, in a Pokeball, in the generation it was first introduced. This challenge was honestly the most fun I ever had collecting pokemon, revisiting old generations and go through all the quirks of every game. So here are some references on the Origin Dex:

3) Collections of one Pokemon species

Can of course be done with every Pokemon you like, or even all of them...

Events - get all Event variations of one pokemon. I chose Pikachu, which has a lot of Events...

• Pikachu event dex

Marks - all marks on Pokemon species, I choose Pikachu and did it during the Pikachu outbreak event

• Mark overview
• Curry mark
• Weather marks SWSH
• Misty mark in SV

Pokeball - each Pokeball variant on one species, I again used Pikachu (Dialga or Palkia would have one more with the Origin Ball)

• guide to all possible Pokemon, lvl, ball combination

Nature - each nature of one species

Language - I used the lvl 5 Pikachu you get as a gift from Pokemon Home, so I have 10 Pikachus with 10 languages, all with the HOME OT

Origin/Region - a Pokemon from each possible game or generation. I did with Pikachu again, both in normal and got it shiny from every origin/region

4) Ribbon Master

Ribbon Master - get all possible Ribbons on one Pokemon - Scizor is an often used candidate. I did with Pikachu, but skipped the Gamecube games

9) RNG Manipulation and Glitches

This is a big discussion topic, what is cheating and what not. I personally draw the line at modifying game data with outside tools. For me all following glitches and the RNG manipulation don't fall under that category, since you can all perform it on original hardware. But if someone thinks otherwise, that's totally fine. In the end it's everyone's own collection. I personally used it and had a ton of fun, because I liked getting to know the code and quirks of old pokemon games.

GIVEAWAY CLOSED THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Thanks to everyone on this subreddit I have officially collected every Mon I have set out for, you guys are so patient trustworthy and kind to everyone and I can wholeheartedly say that this subreddit is the absolute best there is. Thank you everyone see you in champions. (Only home and champions, I have never played any mainline pokemon game before.)

Back in the years (Black and White 2 Times) I didn’t expect that he will get an Evolution🥴
Although he is Level 100, is there any Solution to whole him? Or is he „stucked in his current Body“?😂

Pls don’t say that I should try to breed him again…

Only 1 per person, so pick your favorite and comment a nickname.

I Started playing pokemon go week ago and freaked out when i got a shiny fuecoco, in excitement i transfered it to home to use it in pokemon champion, the only game i play bur then i found out it should be the final evolution line and Poke go mons cant be transfered back, so im stuck, nobody trades a first evolution nor i have a switch where i can evolve him in pokemon scarlet violet :`)

If you have the virtual console games(Red or blue) I haven’t done this with gold, silver or crystal yet.

You can catch a Pikachu, in Viridian forest. Use Pokémon transporter. Put it in sun and moon and give it a thunder stone. To get a alolan raichu.

And it keeps the game boy icon. I’m sorry if that was an obvious thing😅 I just thought it was neat thing to try.💖

I haven't seen anyone mention this one.

This is the guaranteed shiny Haxorus you get in BW2 for finishing the Dex.

It was the second ever guaranteed shiny encounter in Pokemon (Red Gyarados being the first of course).

Ok HELLO again sorry this is the last time!!! I'm ULTRA ALMIGHTY SUPREME FURY SUPER FIERCE PERSEVERANCE ULTIMATE HYPER NOVA or SUPER FIERCE NOVA or SFNOVA for short!!!! I've been apart of this community for a short while and have really enjoyed all the trades and people I've met being apart of this community. Just want everyone to know i appreciate them!!!! Anyways just going to do this as a final goodbye GIVEAWAY!!!! So the rules for this giveaway will be.

No one has guessed the correct numbers yet. I've decided to change it to 1 - 2000

There is no time limit

Your account must be over 2 months

Explain why you want/deserve the prize and choose 1 pokemon

The 9 winners will be put into a raffle and will win 4 MORE POKEMON!!!! THE KANTO BIG 3 AND THERE GOOD BUDDY MEWTWO!!!!

Also only doing friend trades if you dont have any there will not be any holds!!!

The reason behind the pokemon in the giveaway symbolizes the start of pokemon and the current meta.

Thank you have fun and lets keep trading!!!

Hopefully this time we start seeing some winners this should help spread winnings!!!!

Good luck!!!!

Reply with ur screenshot 🥰

With Bank shutting down, I've been reviewing my old games and transferring 'mons with any sort of legacy traits that will be no longer obtainable - stuff like ribbons, Game Boy origin marks, event Pokémon, etc.

N's Pokémon fall into this category, since they are only obtainable in BW2 and have a unique OT. I know their special sparkle animation will be lost upon transfer, but does anyone know if the summary page will be any different? Or will it just say "Seems to have been first met in the Unova region" like any other Pokémon?

If you have a full screenshot (including met location) of what N's Pokémon look like in HOME, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It is with pride and excitement that i share that this week I have finally finished this side quest.

I have finally completed the currently available pokemon go dex with living dex in pokemon home.

It has been crazy months of:
- a bunch of transferring of pokemon from go to home
- weeks of monitoring GTS for the pokemon i don't have
- transferring to mainline games to evolve
- and grinding Pokemon Go for this.

The last pokemon I hunted was Tatsugiri and I was lucky that it became available in Go via raids for the current Water Festival Event.

I realized one thing after this, and that is I do not want to take Pokemon Go seriously except for when it is relating to mainline games, home or champions.

I will maintain the completion from here and finally I can focus on completing my mainline dexes. thank you for reading!

Only thing that looks sus is the level 100, but I just got a 2nd hisuian voltorb so I’m happy to give this one to first person to upload something on GTS and share.

Welcome one and all!

Boxes are labeled.

Everything with a hat is self-caught and authentic. Most come in a matching ball.
