Description

There is quite a long list of pokemon, that you cannot catch in the switch games, but which are transferable via Pokemon Home. I would love to get this information into my spreadsheet.

This is a list from serebii listing all transfer only pokemon in scarlet and violet: https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/transferonly.shtml
