The Pokémon storage app Pokémon HOME has been updated to version 4.1.0 which adds support for the Nintendo Switch re-releases of Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen, as well as the ability to transfer in Pokémon caught in GO Safari Balls from Pokémon GO.
This is a great time to revisit or start a Living Dex! Austin John’s spreadsheet tool is the perfect companion — it can be downloaded for free here!
How transferring Pokémon from FireRed and LeafGreen works
Pokémon caught in FireRed and LeafGreen can only be deposited in Pokémon HOME and cannot return to their original game after being sent to HOME (they can be sent to other compatible Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 games, however). Think carefully about sending a Pokémon to HOME since it’s a one-way trip from Generation III.
Players who complete the FireRed and LeafGreen Pokédex in Pokémon HOME will receive a Celebi as a reward!
The Celebi gift can be received when accessing Pokémon HOME from a mobile device. Unfortunately, it cannot be sent to FireRed and LeafGreen.
There are also challenges available to take on which will reward stickers that you can use to decorate your profile.
