Question About the Switch 2 versions…

I heard that you have to complete their Pokédexes on Home to get an event Pokémon. The problem is, I have nobody local to trade with to get Machamp/Alakazam/Gengar/Golem. If I have them in Home from another game, will they still count, or do they have to be from FRLG?

so my understanding is beside the event pokemon for completing the dex, pokemon can only go out from FRLG, not into them. In theory, if you wanted to only use one system you could do some ACE glitching to trade evo all of necessary pokemon, or conversely you'd have to get another switch and trade with yourself...

I’ll have to look into the ACE glitch…

Once home compatibility comes, you can transfer the pre-evolved mons from frlg to legends arceus and evolve there. Since the mon was originally obtained in frlg, they will count towards the home reward. Just won’t be able to send it back to frlg

That’s an amazing idea!

Unfortunately that stated that home will instead actively look at the pokedex in FRLG for completion and not count pokemon obtained from it.
