Pokémon Home Update Adds Compatibility with Legends Z-A This Week!

Pokémon Home Update: Get Ready to Transfer Your Z-A Team to Champions

Listen up, Poké-maniacs! The Pokémon Company is throwing a little gift our way this week, and it’s not another Pikachu plushie. Pokémon Home is getting a juicy update on April 2nd, allowing all those precious pocket monsters from Pokémon Legends Z-A to make the leap into the highly-anticipated Pokémon Champions. So if you’ve been itching to see how your Z-A squad stacks up in the competitive scene, your time is almost here.

Z-A Gets a Ticket to Champions

The update kicks off with some late-night maintenance at midnight UTC, wrapping up at the ungodly hour of 06:00 UTC—just in time for you early birds (or nocturnal gamers) to dive back in. But before you start fantasizing about transferring your team across every game under the sun, remember this: Your Z-A Pokémon are only making their way into Pokémon Champions. The compatibility with other titles? Not happening. At least, not yet.

A Step Up from Arceus

Pokémon Legends Z-A has been hailed as a modern masterpiece, bringing fresh mechanics like its Rogue Mega Battles to keep us on our toes. VGC even called it a “love letter to older fans,” which is a pretty sweet sentiment coming from Jordan Middler and the crew. It’s a step up from its predecessor, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and it’s about time these critters found new arenas to battle.

The Mysterious Future of Winds and Waves

But here’s where things get murky: Will these Z-A Pokémon make it into the upcoming Pokémon Winds and Waves? The truth is, no one knows—not even Game Freak’s Magic 8-ball can confirm that yet. With Winds and Waves set for release on the shiny new Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027, there’s plenty of time for speculation. For now, let’s keep our fingers crossed and our Pokédexes ready.

The Countdown to Champions Begins!

If you’re as hyped as we are for next week’s release of Pokémon Champions, this update is just the appetizer before the main course drops. Free-to-play doesn’t mean free from challenge—prepare for some intense battles as players worldwide bring their A-game. So polish up those strategies and make sure your team from Z-A is ready for action come April 2nd.
