Pokemon Home: How to Get Cyndaquil, Oshawott, and Rowlet

To get Cyndaquil, Oshawott, and Rowlet in Pokemon Home, fans need to deposit at least one Pokemon from Pokemon Legends: Arceus. It doesn't matter which Pokemon it is; as long as one is moved over successfully, Pokemon Home owners will get the three starters in the mobile app.

If Pokemon Home users are having trouble connecting to Pokemon Legends: Arceus due to the save data not being updated, make sure that you go into the game and save progress with the updated version and then restart Pokemon Home.

After the Pokemon has been deposited, open up the Pokemon Home application on mobile and hit the green button at the bottom of the screen.

From here, press Mystery Gift and then Gift Box. Players should see the three starter Pokemon available as special gifts. Click each one to save them to Pokemon Home. Cyndaquil, Rowlet, and Oshawott can be sent to other mainline titles except Pokemon Let's GO.
