How to Link Pokémon GO to Nintendo Account for Pokémon Home
Luckily, it's easy to get Home set up. First, download the Pokémon Home app on your phone. Then, you can log-in with your Nintendo Account. Next, you'll have to go to Pokémon GO and go to the Setting gear. Find the Pokémon Home option, and you'll log-in again with your Nintendo account.
That's all you have to do to link your account. From here, you'll be able to store up to 30 Pokémon in Pokémon Home, and access them from Pokémon Sword and Shield, Let's GO, Pokémon GO and even Pokémon Bank.
In Pokémon GO, you can transfer only a few Pokémon at a time as it will deplete the GO Transporter's energy. It will refill over time. The rarer or stronger a Pokémon is, the more energy it will take.
There are premium plans that give you more storage, charged monthly. It's $3 for a month, $5 for three months and $16 for the year. Only premium account holders can move Pokémon from Bank, use the Judge feature or make trading rooms.
