Current Events > Transfer costs between Pokemon GO and Pokemon Home are ridiculous.

(+) Yeah! (+)

• Regular Pokemon, Legendary Pokemon, and Mythical Pokemon each have their own base transfer cost, which increases depending on how much CP they have and whether or not they are Shiny; Shininess presents a massive transfer cost in each category.
• You can only have 10,000 Transporter Energy.
• They recharge at a rate of 60 points each hour, leaving you with 6 days and 23 hours needed for a full charge from zero. Of course, you could just spend money to buy the points you need.

Additionally, Spinda is also unable to be transferred at all, being the only regular Pokemon (as in, non-GO-exclusive costumes or forms) not being able to do so.

As of right now, only GO players at Level 40 and above can use the Transfer feature.

Combat Points, but it's officially abbreviated to CP.

There was going to be a flood of shinies otherwise.

They said this was how it would be from the start. Its supposed to take a while to get everything you want sent over.

---

This is why people just hack pokemon smh

---

I mean I hate how monetized Pokemon has become but also Go made getting mythicals, shinies, legendaries, and good-stat pokemon so easy that there needed to be some kind of bottleneck.

---

How did they deal with the fact that Pokmon in Pogo have only 3 stats as opposed to the 6 in the main games?

Also, the level cap is still 40, so there is no and over (nitpick, I know, but its important to note that theyre locking this feature away from people who havent spent the 10s/100s of hours necessary to get to the level cap.

So glad that I left mainstream Pokemon.

There's already a flood of shinies thanks to hackers, the only difference is that these would be legit ones.

Looking at the chart, you can't transfer shiny legendary and mythic pokemon if they have a cp higher than 1001 because being shiny and legendary/mythic is already 10K cost.

It's always been such a fucking pain in the ass to move pokemon forward gens. Gen 3 -> 4 had a 6/day limit, then gen 4 -> 5 had some ridiculous slingshot minigame

Looks like all my old mons are staying in Alola

Was gonna be pissed about the lvl 40 requirement, but it sounds like that's temporary as the feature gets rolled out.

GO's Attack and Defense IVs are used for both the physical and special splits, and HP = HP. They're translated over as 2x+1, so a perfect 15 Attack IV in GO -> perfect 31 in Attack and Sp Attack in the other games.
Speed IV is randomized.

Yeah, that's how new features are pretty much always released - lvl 40 only then steadily rolled out to everybody else. Things usually fully roll out within a day or so.

This thread is about Pokemon Go. You use Pokemon Bank to transfer from the 3DS, to Home.
