So you need 3 apps. Pokemon Transporter, Pokemon Bank, and Pokemon Home. In order to use Pokemon Transporter to move stuff to bank, you need a physical copy that's X/Y and onward I think?(Includes Omega Ruby) and you need to have the pokedex unlocked. I sat here trying and couldn't find the exact details ANYWHERE about using the physical copy just to move from Transporter to Bank.

You don't need a physical copy of a gen 6/7 game. Digital versions also work too if you downloaded them while the 3DS e-shop was up or if you mod your 3DS and install one that way. I don't have any physical 3DS games at all anymore, and I've been able to move my Pokemon just fine.

Which unless you have a non-Go Celebi in your gen 8/9 games, you wouldn't be able to put your Go Celebi in those games. So honestly that's a good thing to bring your Crystal Celebi over.

Oh? I wasn't aware of that. Thanks. I wanted to use Celebi and my Mew in the later editions. I got Mew from Let's Go Pikachu's pokeball controller.

Yep, there's a special restriction on legendary/mythical Pokemon caught in Pokemon Go. You can't transfer them from Home to a mainline game that Home connects to unless that game has previously acquired that legendary/mythical in a different way that isn't transferring in one from Pokemon Go. So you'd either need to transfer in one that isn't from Go, have someone else trade you one in-game (even if you immediately trade it back), or catch one in that game if it's available to be caught. After you do one of those, then your one from Go will transfer in fine afterwards.

The Mew from the special controller connected to the Let's Go games doesn't have this restriction. It's not from Pokemon Go.
