Pokemon GO to Pokemon HOME – Regional Form Transfer Bug fix coming

Pokemon GO to Pokemon HOME – Regional Form Transfer Bug fix coming

The Pokemon Company confirmed that a fix for a weird bug between Pokemon GO to Pokemon HOME transfers is being looked into.

Regional Form Transfer Bug

The bug in question affects Pokemon that have regional variants such as for example; Alolan Vulpix, Galarian Zigzagoon, and others.

When transferring these regional variants from Pokemon GO to Pokemon HOME, they will sometimes be given moves that only their original versions can learn. 

As an example, Alolan Vulpix could be given the move Flamethrower, even though it cannot learn this move normally, because of the whole Ice and Fire principle.

Nintendo is aware

According to an in-app announcement, the devs will be rolling out a fix that will replace the illegal moves on the Pokemon soon.

That being said though, the fix will be applied in waves across the affected Pokemon and not all at once, so it might still be possible for some players to still encounter this bug until its all sorted out.
