The cloud-based Pokemon Home is coming in February, and Nintendo has opened a site that shares more on pricing and other assorted details. Storing your pocket monsters in the cloud won’t exactly come cheap, though, as a yearly premium subscription costs almost as much as a Nintendo Switch Online subscription alone.
The basic (free) plan lets you deposit 30 Pokemon, place three in the Wonder Box at a time, and place one in the GTS at a time. Free users can also participate in a room trade function. Upgrading to Premium gets a few more perks: the ability to deposit up to 6,000 Pokemon, place 10 in the Wonder Box and 3 in the GTS, and host room trades. Premium users also get exclusive access to moving Pokemon from the 3DS Pokemon Bank, and the judge function.
One month of Pokemon Home Premium costs $3, three months is $5, and 12 months is $16. That would be on top of the Nintendo Switch Online service, which itself costs $20 per year.
The Pokemon Home app on mobile devices provides a large repository of info, including the Pokemon that can Mega Evolve or Gigantamax, abilities, and the moves they can learn. You can also receive Mystery Gifts straight through the mobile app. The judge function lets you get automated feedback on the strength of your Pokemon. You’ll be able to see personalized info in an area called Your Room, and decorate your profile with stickers. Finally, you can earn Home Points by depositing Pokemon, which can then be traded for Battle Points (BP) to be used in the core Pokemon games.
