Pokémon HOME and Replica Teams: which Pokémon can be copied
A Replica code only works if you own every species on the team. There are two ways to own a Pokémon in Champions.
In-game pool
- Champions lets you recruit Pokémon directly with VP. Every species legal in the current regulation is available.
- Recruited Pokémon come untrained, copying a team trains them for extra VP.
- This is enough for every code on this site. You never need HOME to use a Replica Team.
Pokémon HOME
- Pokémon transferred from HOME keep their nature, ability and stats. If they already match the team, copying costs nothing.
- Shiny Pokémon, ribbons and origin marks come along but are not shown to the player who copies your team.
- Transferring is one-directional for some species, check in HOME before moving a Pokémon you care about.
Things that block a copy
- A species banned in the current regulation.
- A Mega Stone or item you have not bought yet, the game offers to buy it with VP.
- Regional forms: a Kantonian Ninetales does not count as an Alolan one, and the two Indeedee and Basculegion genders are separate entries.
If a team page here lists a form you do not have, the Builder page will show it as missing.
