I’m using Pokémon HOME on my Nintendo Switch. Can I continue using it on Nintendo Switch 2?
If you are already using Pokémon HOME, the steps you need to take may vary depending on how you plan to use your current Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 going forward.

I used Pokémon HOME on Nintendo Switch, but after switching to Nintendo Switch 2, it’s no longer linked to my Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet. What should I do?
To link Pokémon HOME with games like Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, the game’s save data must be present on the same console where you launch Pokémon HOME.
We recommend using the “Moving to Nintendo Switch 2” feature, which transfers all data—including game save data—by logging in with the same Nintendo Account on both your original Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
For more details on “Moving to Nintendo Switch 2,” please visit the official Nintendo website.
Important Notes
- When transferring data, if there are multiple users on the original Nintendo Switch, all users and their save data will be transferred together.
- Before the release of Nintendo Switch 2, the only available transfer method is uploading your data to the server. This process will reset your original Nintendo Switch, so please proceed only if you are certain you’ll be using a Nintendo Switch 2.
- After the Nintendo Switch 2 is released, you can transfer data via local communication. In that case, the original Nintendo Switch will not be reset.
- If you only want to transfer specific users or save data to your Nintendo Switch 2, please refer to the relevant guide here.
If you have questions about the steps above, please contact Nintendo Customer Support.
