The long-awaited Pokémon HOME update that brings support for Pokémon Legends: Z-A is finally ready to download on the Nintendo Switch, Switch 2 and mobile platforms! It also brings support for the battling platform Pokémon Champions, which will be launching on April 8 for the Switch and Switch 2.
Once updated, you’ll see the new Pokémon Champions menu item and Pokémon Legends: Z-A will be added to the list of games you can import Pokémon from.
Warning: Sending Pokémon to Pokémon Legends: Z-A will make them incompatible with prior games. If you put a Pokémon into HOME that was originally from Pokémon Shield and then send that to Legends: Z-A, it will no longer be able to go back to Shield.
