The new version 3.2.1 update for Pokemon Home brings a variety of new features to the creature storage and transfer service, including compatibility with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's newly-released Indigo Disk DLC.. Though there were some concerns among the game's community as to how long it would take for this update to arrive considering the extensive wait between Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's release and its Pokemon Home connectivity update, many players are relieved to see the update ready and installable just days after the release of the game's latest DLC pack.

Pokemon Home has been a vital resource for Pokemon enthusiasts throughout the past few years, essentially presenting itself as the Nintendo Switch equivalent of the 3DS' Pokemon Bank. The service allows players to move their Pokemon between various Switch and mobile games, while also providing a method of storing Pokemon in a secure, virtual space. Creatures stored on previous generations of games from the 3DS era can also be moved to Pokemon Bank so that they may subsequently join players' teams in the latest titles, though the service is home to a variety of other features which are bound to be useful to experienced Pokemon fans with more caught creatures to count.

Here's how trainers can transfer Pokemon from Pokemon Home to Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl and vice versa.

The latest update to Pokemon Home further expands on the service's capabilities, with its most notable new feature bringing compatibility with the Indigo Disk DLC and allowing the transfer of Pokemon to and from the new content pack. This was revealed shortly after the release of the Indigo Disk expansion via an update on the official Pokemon website, which confirms that Home can now be connected to the Indigo Disk. That's not all though, as users of Pokemon Home now have the option to view their Pokemon's stats from other games that they were in even while Pokemon Home is actively connected to a game.

The content delivered in the Indigo Disk DLC brings fans to the end of their adventure in the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, introducing an entirely new location to explore beneath the ocean of the Unova region which is bursting with familiar Pokemon from across the years. The Blueberry Academy comes complete with its own new Pokedex to fill in, and is even home to a few new species of Pokemon for players to meet.

The complete package of DLC for the Gen 9 Pokemon games brings a relieving amount of substance and new content to the game, while also expanding on the narrative introduced in the base game. While The Indigo Disk may just be the last piece of DLC that Scarlet and Violet will ever see, a plethora of unanswered questions related to the story and a sizable amount of datamined content suggests that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are yet to be wrapped up with one last event.
