Pokémon Legends Z-A Pokémon Home Compatibility is one of the biggest questions that fans are asking now that they’ve spent some time Shiny hunting in Pokémon Legends Z-A.

The new feature will allow for many long-missing Pokémon to be added to your Pokémon Home, such as the elemental monkeys.

This Pokémon Legends Z-A Pokémon Home Compatibility guide will explain when it’s likely to be released and how it will affect other Pokémon games. So read on to find out everything you need to know.

Pokémon Legends Z-A Pokémon Home Compatibility release date

• Pokémon says that Pokémon Legends Z-A Pokémon Home Compatibility will be available in 2026.

While there is no firm date for Pokémon Legends Z-A Pokémon Home Compatibility, it’s possible it will be announced in February as part of the annual Pokémon Day celebrations.

In a post to the Legends Z-A website, regarding Pokémon Legends Z-A Pokémon Home Compatibility The Pokémon Company has said;

“Connectivity between Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon HOME is scheduled to become available in 2026. Once you’ve linked this title to Pokémon Home, you’ll be able to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Legends: Z-A to Pokémon Home and bring select Pokémon from past games to Lumiose City. Enjoy adventuring in Lumiose City even more alongside a variety of Pokémon!”

Crucially, The Pokémon Company has warned that ” Pokémon cannot be transferred from Pokémon Legends: Z-A to previous titles in the Pokémon video game series.​”

It’s also said that “If you transfer a Pokémon from a previous title to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, you will no longer be able to transfer it to previous video games in the Pokémon series.”

This means that once Pokémon Legends Z-A Pokémon Home Compatibility is released, any Pokémon you send to Pokémon Legends Z-A will only be able to be used in Pokémon Champions, and future, currently unannounced Pokémon titles.

Pokémon Legends Z-A Pokémon Home Compatibility eligible Pokémon 

The Pokémon Company has said that “Pokémon you’ll be able to transfer to each game via Pokémon Home are limited to Pokémon that can appear in those games,” which means no Pokémon beyond the current Pokedex, and Pokémon introduced in the forthcoming DLC, will be eligible.

It’s currently unknown if all regional variants of Pokémon found in Pokémon Z-A will be eligible via Pokémon Legends Z-A Pokémon Home Compatibility. Alolan versions of Raichu, and the Galarian Sloking for example, are already available in Pokémon Legends Z-A, but we don’t yet know if all regional variants will be transferable into the game.
