How to Transfer Pokemon from Soulsilver to Platinum

To transfer Pokémon from Soulsilver to Platinum, you can use the Union Room feature, which allows for trading between Gen 4 games, including Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, by using two DS consoles and having at least two Pokémon in your party. This process enables you to trade Pokémon directly between these games without needing to use external services like Pokémon Bank or Poké Transporter.

Understanding the Transfer Process

Preparing for Transfer

Before initiating the transfer, ensure you have two DS consoles, each with a Gen 4 game, and that both games are compatible for trading. Soulsilver and Platinum are compatible, allowing for a straightforward transfer process.
