For example, only Pok\xe9mon available in the Sword and Shield Pok\xe9dex can be moved to those games, while Pok\xe9mon in your current team in any game cannot be moved to Home or Bank until you move them into a box, and the alternate-form event Pok\xe9mon from Pok\xe9mon Go, like Party Hat Pikachu, can't be moved to Home either.

Can you transfer pokémon down a generation?

If you download the Virtual Console versions of any of the Generation 1 or 2 games on the 3DS, they'll be compatible with Pokemon Bank, meaning you can transfer your Pokemon straight from your 3DS into Home, and then into Sword and Shield, or into a Generation 6 or 7 game if you want.
