   • 2022 December 22, Daniel Furn, “When will Pokémon Home come to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?”, in Radio Times‎^[1]:

     Another generation is upon us in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, which of course means a new region, new Professors and, of course, brand new 'mons. […] However, it's worth bearing in mind that not every Pokémon is supported in the Scarlet and Violet Pokédex, and therefore only certain 'mons can be transferred from Pokémon Home.
