Why Can’t I Transfer Pokémon from Go to Home?
You can’t transfer Pokémon from Go to Home if you have not completed the tutorial for the mobile device version of Pokémon HOME or if you are trying to transfer Shiny Pokémon, Lucky Pokémon, or Buddy Pokémon with whom you’ve reached Good Buddy status or above at the same time. Additionally, certain Legendary and some Mythical Pokémon, such as Mew and Celebi, are not able to be selected for transfer, and you will need to use the GO Transporter feature, which costs a set amount of GO Transporter Energy.
Understanding Pokémon Transfer Limitations
To transfer Pokémon from Go to Home, you need to link the mobile device version of Pokémon HOME to your Nintendo Account and have completed the tutorial, after which you can use the GO Transporter to send Pokémon from Go to Home.
