All players will be given one free box in Pokémon Home. This means that, at base, you’ll only be able to earn points from 30 Pokémon. This won’t amount to very many points at all. So, if you’re serious about generating points, you’re going to want to get your hands on more boxes. Keep reading to find out how you can do this.

How to Get More Boxes in Pokémon Home

Currently, the only way to get more boxes in Pokémon Home is by upgrading to the premium plan. This will cost you $2.99 per month. Alternatively, you can opt for a quarterly plan for $4.99, or a yearly plan for $15.99.

The premium plan will give you access to 200 boxes, allowing you to deposit a maximum of 6,000 Pokémon. As you can see, this is a massive upgrade. But, are the extra boxes worth the cost?

Transfer from the 3DS

Just like with the boxes, you cannot transfer Pokemon from games on the 3DS using Pokemon Home without the Premium Plan.

For avid players, the premium plan is certainly worth the cost. You’ll make your money back through the points generated, and have a one-stop area to store all of your Pokémon. However, if you’re a newer player, or only play every now and then, the Premium plan probably won’t be worth it.

Different Types of Boxes in Pokémon Home

There are actually a few different types of boxes in Pokémon Home. Here’s an overview of all of them:

  • Basic Box- The basic box is the box that all players have access to. It allows you to deposit up to 30 Pokémon at once.
  • Premium Boxes- If you upgrade to the premium plan, you’ll gain access to 200 Premium boxes, allowing you to store a total of 6,000 Pokémon.
  • Wonder Box- The Wonder Box allows you to trade 3 (or 10 with the Premium Plan) Pokémon with other players. These trades are random, so be prepared for some surprises!

That’s everything that you need to know about how to get more boxes in Pokémon Home. The only way to get more boxes is by paying for them. If you’re a big Pokémon fan, this is definitely going to be worth the cost and will allow you to generate thousands more points each year.
