If I transfer a Pokemon from Go to Shield using Pokemon Home, will I get its Pokedex entry in Shield?

Apr. 11, 2021

Just curious. The Pokemon would be in the Galar dex.

Yes.

Transferring Pokémon through HOME to a game will cause you to get the Pokédex entry if you don’t already have it. However, the game will not tell you it has more entries, but they will be there in your Pokédex.

(PS. Same goes for Pokébank)

Source:Experience, I use Pokémon HOME a lot.

There are some restrictions on moving them from Go to other games:

In order to bring certain Pokémon caught in Pokémon GO and transferred to Pokémon HOME into Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield, you must either have registered that Pokémon’s species to your Pokédex or have obtained a Pokémon of that species at any point in that game.

I’m not sure which ‘certain’ Pokémon it refers to, but it’s likely Mythical and possibly Legendary.
