Can you transfer all Pokémon from Scarlet and Violet?
The answer to this question is no, you cannot transfer all Pokémon from Scarlet and Violet to other games, as some Pokémon are exclusive to certain games and cannot be transferred. The Pokémon that can be transferred are those that have appeared in the games that you are transferring them to, such as Sword and Shield, Legends: Arceus, and Pokémon Home.
