In this Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl guide, we’ll explain when Pokémon Home, the creature transferring application, will be available to use with these two remakes.

Currently, the creature transferring application is not available to use with these games, but there is official confirmation that they will be connected soon.

According to a tweet from the official Pokémon Twitter account on Aug. 26, 2021, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl — as well as Pokémon Arceus — will receive connectivity with Pokémon Home in 2022. When these features are enabled or when we learn exactly when they’ll be enabled, we’ll update this guide.

Pokémon Home is a free application with a premium service that allows you to transfer Pokémon between games in the franchise. The service can be a little confusing, so if you haven’t used it yet or need a refresher, check out our Pokémon Home guide.
