While legitimately obtainable (though not in Japan), Shiny Jirachi could not be transported prior to the release of the Shiny 2014 Tanabata Jirachi. However, it does not prevent all illegitimate Pokémon, and does stop some legitimate Pokémon. Poké Transporter has a legality checker that is intended to prevent Pokémon obtained or modified through external devices or modified by a glitch such as the Rage glitch from passing through. Eggs cannot be transported.Īs a part of Pokémon Bank, the player must have a valid pass in order to use Poké Transporter. Kyurem must be in its normal form to be transported. Pokémon that know HM moves can be transported without having to forget those moves (unlike Pal Park and Poké Transfer). A new transfer cannot be made if there are any Pokémon in the Transport Box.Īny items held by Pokémon being transferred are returned to the Bag, or deleted if the Bag is full. The Pokémon transported to Pokémon Bank are placed in the Transport Box. Only the Pokémon from Box 1 can be transported (without the use of glitches), and the entire Box will be transported at once, limiting the transfer to up to 20 Pokémon at a time (30 from the Japanese versions of the Generations I and II games) if any Pokémon in the Box are ineligible to be transported, they will simply remain in the Box while all eligible Pokémon in the Box are transported. While Japanese versions of Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 are region-locked due to being DSi-enhanced, Generation V games of any region can be used with Poké Transporter. Poké Transporter allows the player to select an inserted physical copy of Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, or White 2, a Virtual Console copy of Pokémon Red, Blue, or Yellow (in Western languages) or Red, Green, Blue, or Yellow (in Japanese), or a Virtual Console copy of Pokémon Gold, Silver, or Crystal. Pokémon sent from the Virtual Console releases of the Generation I and Generation II games can be withdrawn from Pokémon Bank in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon only. Pokémon sent from the Generation V games can be withdrawn from Pokémon Bank in Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon Sun and Moon, and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (although they cannot be withdrawn in the Generation VI games once they have been withdrawn by the Generation VII games). The service allows one-way transfer once transferred, they cannot be moved back to the Generation V or the Virtual Console Generations I and II games.
This software allows Pokémon to be sent from the Generation V core series games and the Virtual Console releases of the Generation I and II core series games to Pokémon Bank.
