The newest Pokémon games didn't launch with HOME compatibility at first, but The Pokémon Company has finally confirmed that it will be coming soon — though it's retracted its original release date.
On May 18, the company announced Pokémon HOME would receive the necessary update on May 23, though now it's now "to be announced." The company offered no official reasoning as to why it needed to delay the update's release, nor did it provide any timeline for this change.
According to the official announcement from The Pokémon Company, when the update does officially launch, players will be able to transfer their Pokémon from Scarlet and Violet into Pokémon HOME, as well as transfer select Pokémon from HOME to the ninth generation titles.
"The Tera Type of Pokémon moved to Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet from other games will be determined by their original type or types," the press release reads.

Those who choose to connect their HOME account with Scarlet and Violet will also receive "a Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly with Hidden Abilities as Mystery Gifts in the mobile device version of Pokémon HOME."
Players will also be able to trade their HOME Points to League Points (LP), allowing them an easier way to earn more of the Scarlet and Violet-exclusive currency.
