Pokemon Legends Z-A will officially support Pokemon HOME connectivity in 2026, and now Pokemon fans can get more exciting updates. This highly anticipated feature was confirmed earlier last year, and a new tweet from Pokerapidinfo reveals that Pokemon Legends Z-A players will be able to transfer their critters into Pokemon HOME and from there into Pokemon Champions, the upcoming Pokemon title expected to launch later this year.
While the exact date for the launch of Pokemon Legends Z-A‘s Pokemon HOME compatibility is still pending, the feature is expected to be detailed further this year, possibly on Pokemon Day 2026 (February 27), aligning with the franchise’s 30th anniversary celebrations. For now, one can speculate about the implications this feature could have for Pokemon Champions, a game that is now poised to support nearly every Pokemon from the franchise’s history.

Pokemon Legends Z-A Confirms Compatibility with Pokemon HOME and Pokemon Champions
Pokemon Legends Z-A will support Pokemon HOME in 2026, allowing players to transfer their pocket monsters into Pokemon HOME and bring them back into the game at a later date. While Pokemon Legends Z-A players can expect this feature to launch later in 2026, the exact specifics are unknown, such as whether one will be able to transfer critters to older games. However, Pokemon Day 2026 could offer the perfect opportunity for The Pokemon Company to announce a concrete date and further confirm how things will work with Pokemon Champions.

The connectivity between Pokemon Legends Z-A and Pokemon HOME, allowing players to transfer critters into Pokemon Champions, is significant because it confirms that the battling game will likely feature compatibility with nearly every Pokemon in existence, from all generations. The game is expected to support:
- All Pokemon in Pokemon Legends Z-A, or at least most of them, including any new additions introduced through its DLC, Mega Dimension.
- Returning Mega Evolutions from past Pokemon titles, including the new ones featured in Pokemon Legends Z-A.
- Pokemon from previous games that were previously unavailable or restricted in recent entries.
This level of integration suggests that Pokemon Champions will aim to be the definitive battling Pokemon game, offering an expansive roster of creatures for players to collect, train, and battle with.
Key Details about Pokemon Legends Z-A Compatibility
- Pokemon Legends Z-A to Pokemon HOME: Pokemon Legends Z-A will be fully compatible with Pokemon HOME, allowing players to move Pokemon in and out of the game.
- Mega Evolutions: New Mega Evolutions introduced in Pokemon Legends Z-A and its DLC, Mega Dimension, will be supported in Pokemon Champions.
- Pokemon Champions Compatibility: Pokemon Champions‘ Pokedex may support most, if not all, Pokemon available across the Pokemon series, offering players an expansive experience with over 1,000 Pokemon species.
- Mega Dimension DLC: Released on December 10, 2025, Mega Dimension introduced new storylines, new Mega Evolutions, and additional content for Pokemon Legends Z-A. These new critters will be transferable to Pokemon HOME and, by extension, usable in Pokemon Champions.
The fact that Pokemon Legends Z-A will be compatible with Pokemon HOME is a game-changer because it makes the game more flexible and provides an easier way to integrate it into the larger Pokemon ecosystem, especially with the upcoming Pokemon Champions. For fans, this also opens up exciting possibilities:
- Players can move their favorite Pokemon into Pokemon Legends Z-A and then transfer them back into future Pokemon games, ensuring that their collection remains relevant across multiple games. It’s unclear where Z-A mons will be transferable, though, and it remains to be seen whether Pokemon Gen 10 games will include this option.
- The reintroduction of Mega Evolutions in Pokemon Legends Z-A and their transfer to Pokemon Champions is another major draw for players. This popular mechanic adds a level of strategy to battles, and it would be the first time the new Megas can be used in a turn-based game. It also means that the new Megas won’t be a one-off gimmick, as they will soon be usable in a different game.
With Pokemon Legends Z-A confirming compatibility with Pokemon HOME and future transfers to Pokemon Champions, the Pokemon community has a lot to look forward to. Fans who are eagerly awaiting further details may finally get an actual date on Pokemon Day 2026, or at least a short roadmap about what’s in store for all the critters caught in Z-A.
