- Changing Moves: From version 3.0.0 onward, when bringing a Pokémon from Pokémon HOME into a linked game, players will be able to change the moves it knows from among a list of moves it has learned up to that point.[3] This will allow players to have their Pokémon know moves before moving it out of Pokémon HOME.
