The mobile version of Pokémon HOME has been treated to a brand new update which appears to have been rolling out across Android and iOS devices this morning.
It's added a number of little tweaks to make your use of the app a little more streamlined, and has improved some of the search filter options for when you're on the lookout for new Pokémon. We have the full patch notes available for you below:
Pokémon HOME Version 1.2.1 (Mobile)
• Improved search result filters for the GTS "Search for Pokémon" function.
- The "include people searching for Legendary and Mythical Pokémon" option has been updated to "Include people searching for Legendary, Mythical and other special Pokémon."
- You can now filter your results based on what Pokémon you have deposited in Pokémon HOME.
• Added the ability to place multiple Pokémon in the Wonder Box at once.
• Revised Challenge completion messages for improved clarity on what Challenge you've completed.
• Added the ability to view Pokémon's Natures under Pokémon Rankings in Battle Data
- Natures will be displayed in the first competition held following the release of v. 1.2.1 and in all competitions following.
- If a Trainer used a mint on their Pokémon, the Nature shown will correspond to the mint used.
• Added a Back button to Battle Data screens.
• Added new informational feature.
• Made various other fixes.
Recent Pokémon HOME updates have been very welcome indeed - just a couple of months ago, the app finally removed the option to request 'impossible' trades, de-clogging the GTS once and for all.

Nice to see some updates, anything that improves the overall service is welcome.
Did they finally fix the missing Pikachu and Rockruff forms?
Edit: no... they haven’t ... wow PC, almost 8 months
Do they forgot that this app was supposed to be compatible with Pokemon Go?
@abdias Don't get me started. I have a pile of Pokémon I need to transfer to Sword.
[[The "include people searching for Legendary and Mythical Pokémon" option has been updated to "Include people searching for Legendary, Mythical and other special Pokémon."]]
But these pokemon still can't be traded, right?
The option to wondertrade multiple Pokemon at once is much appreciated. I stopped wondertrading because it was such a tedious process of clicking every Pokemon one at a time.
@abdias @RadioHedgeFund I think the same.... but at the same time I think Pokemon go will break pokemon legendary and mythical status.... in the games I'm not aware of any other legit way to get like 10 copies of a legendary in less than 1 week span with about 1 in 20 being shiny...
@RunGMhx the thing is they prmissed that.
About the broken rare Pokemon, on let's go integration with go, mew and the dressed monsters were not available for transfer, I bet they would go through this route.
And for shiny Pokemon, the Niantic odds are very broken. If you play during an entire afternoon you get like 10.
@abdias I hope they don't go that way for mew again... the whole point I thought was to sale a otherwise useless controller... But otherwise Mew Two was easy to transfer in batch and so was meltan and melmetal...
@RunGMhx well, currently Go doesn’t let you transfer Mythical Pokémon (besides the Meltan line, which can’t be found at all outside of Go) to other games. Of course, right now the only other game you can send Pokémon to is Let’s Go, but still. It’s entirely possible they’ll keep the restriction on Mythical Pokémon once the Home update happens.
"The "include people searching for Legendary and Mythical Pokémon" option has been updated to "Include people searching for Legendary, Mythical and other special Pokémon.""
If this means they filter out people asking for Kubfu and its evolution that will significantly clean up trade results. Probably not though.
So, when is it gonna be compatible with Go, did they forget that Pokemon Home exists?
@abdias That will come out 2 days after your sub expires.
Added a back button. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if your app didn't have that before, your app needs a bit of work.
Wake me up when they finally add the ability to bank Pokémon from Pokémon GO...
@RunGMhx It's not like most people don't put a lot of time and effort into getting to the point where you can just easily catch legendary Pokémon. Plus at the end of the day I'm more concerned about putting my Pokémon in Shield than what others putting into their games.
I’d just like to be able to permanently arrange my mon by Dex no. I tried doing it manually but had to give up in the end.
@buggysdad yup, like the snes on switch online
I use home pretty often. I like it. Glad for updates.
Of course Pokemon Go compatibility remains my #1 most wanted feature, but it would also be nice to filter Pokemon that have ribbons/marks. Now that we can legally use old gen Pokemon, I love bringing forward Pokemon with old ribbons to use on ladder.
If you have fought someone using "Porygon-Z the exciting Memory" or a shiny "Azumarill the former idol" that might have been me. ;D
@RunGMhx well, you can only trade 1 legendary a day in Go. Maybe they can apply a limit like that?
I mean sure, it would take longer but given you can transfer from classic games for over a decade and Emerald having a cloning cheat without a device, it hasn't really been that broken.
Not to mention Go is only up to Gen 5. Gen 6 onwards legendaries are still valuable and will be for a looooong time.
