Pokemon HOME is Out Now for Switch, Mobile Platforms

Nintendo’s Pokemon HOME app, which allows for managing one’s Pokemon via cloud servers, is out now. Nintendo Switch users can download it from the eShop while mobile owners on iOS and Android can get it from the App Store and Google Play respectively. The app essentially allows players to transfer Pokemon between different versions of the game, trade and much more.

The service offers a free plan and Premium plan, the latter costing $2.99 per month, $4.99 for three months and $15.99 for 12 months. Some of the benefits that come with the Premium plan include 6,000 storage slots, 10 Pokemon that can be placed in the Wonder Box and the ability to host Room Trades. In comparison, free plan users only get 30 slots for storing Pokemon, can only join Room Trades and so on.

Still, if you really want a means to maintain your National Dex, Pokemon HOME is the solution. More Pokemon content is on the way in the coming months with the release of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX in March for Switch. Two expansions, The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra, are also slated to release in June and Fall respectively for Pokemon Sword and Shield.
