The mobile version of Pokémon HOME has a brand new update, and not only does Version 1.4.0 add some new features, but it also comes with two Mystery Gift surprises! Looking to add Bulbasaur and Squirtle (that can Gigantamax) to your team? Pokémon HOME is distributing the two for free starting today.
Here’s the announcement in the Pokémon HOME app:
Thank you very much for your continued support of Pokémon HOME.
To celebrate the ver. 1.4.0 update for the mobile device version of Pokémon HOME, you’ll be able to receive Bulbasaur and Squirtle as Mystery Gifts in both the mobile device version of Pokémon HOME and Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. Once evolved, these Pokémon will be able to Gigantamax!
These Bulbasaur and Squirtle are special – they’ll be able to Gigantamax once evolved into Vensaur and Blastoise, just like the Charmander you can receive from Leon after becoming Champion in Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield!
Evolve these Pokémon in Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield to have them Gigantamax and show what they can do in battle!
Note: In Pokémon HOME, the Mystery Gifts feature is available only on the mobile device (iOS/Android) version.
Note: Certain features may be unavailable depending on your device or OS version.
Note: Linking Pokémon HOME with Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield is a feature available only on the Nintendo Switch version of Pokémon HOME.
