In this guide, you’ll learn how to link Pokemon Champions to Pokemon HOME, collect or send them back.
How to Connect Pokemon HOME to Champions
Connecting Pokemon HOME to Champions is a bit different for Switch and Mobile users. Here’s how you can do it.
Pokemon HOME Nintendo Switch App

- Verify the name of the Nintendo Account that you want to connect.
- Click on Yes to link Pokemon Champions with Pokemon HOME.
Pokemon HOME Mobile App
Mobile players can link Pokemon Champions to Pokemon HOME through the mobile application for HOME. However, Champions on mobile has not been released yet, which is why you might face an error if you aren’t sharing the same account on your Switch. On the other hand, Switch players can connect by following the steps given below:
- Open the Menu on your Pokemon HOME mobile app.
- Select Options.
- Under the Link with Pokemon Champions, click on the Send for a Visit.
- Now, link Pokemon HOME to Champions using the same Nintendo account that’s logged in to your Switch console.
Now, you can successfully send Pokemon from HOME to Champions. Before you move on to transferring Pokemon, you must learn about their weaknesses and coverage to make the perfect team. That’s why we recommend that you check our Pokemon Type Chart, as it will help you to build the perfect team that covers each other’s weaknesses.
