With the introduction of Pokemon Home, Pokemon players have been able to transport Pokemon from one game to another. While this is a great feature in and of itself, the app also lets players earn unique rewards by completing certain tasks. These rewards can be claimed by various means and across many games on the Nintendo Switch system. Most of the rewards are shiny Pokemon, but some are exclusive mythical Pokemon that can no longer be obtained through other means. Fulfilling the requirements of these challenges is a great way to complete the Pokedex and earn rare Pokemon, many of which are from older generations.
By completing the Pokedex, in various formats, across different games, players can earn rare Pokemon in Pokemon Home which can then be transferred to other games. Players are also rewarded for depositing Pokemon and distributing them through the GTS and Wonderbox systems. New rewards may be added for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, so fans should be on the lookout, especially for the starter Pokemon.
These rewards often have time-sensitive challenges, so it is best to complete them as soon as possible. Here are all the currently available Pokemon Home rewards for the series.
