Trainers,

Plans for Pokémon GO integration with Pokémon HOME were announced back in February, and we know that you’ve been eagerly awaiting a status update on this feature. We’re excited to announce that Pokémon GO integration with Pokémon HOME will be available later this year!

When this integration goes live, limited-time events will be happening in Pokémon GO, featuring particular Pokémon. You will be able to activate the Mystery Box after you send a Pokémon to Pokémon HOME from Pokémon GO, and if you open the Mystery Box during the celebration event, you’ll have a chance of encountering a Shiny Meltan!

Stay tuned for more information on the celebration event and on how to send the Pokémon that you’ve caught in Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME!
