Can Pokémon from the GBA and NDS games still be migrated until they reach the 3DS games?

Or some of them can’t anymore?

If the transfer feature still allow Pokémon from those games to be transferred in present days. (If the system still work)

Pleaselog inorregisterto add a comment.

Yes, I literally just did this 2 Days ago. Just note:

An example path would be: Ruby transfers to diamond via the Migrate option; From Diamond to White viaPoké Transfer Lab, From White to Bank viaPoké Transporter, and fromBankto Ultra Moon.

Hope I helped!

Almost every Pokémon from Gen 3 onwards (with someveryfew fringe exceptions, like Spiky-Eared Pichu and Cosplay Pikachu, and I’m pretty sure Totems as well, since they can’t be moved into Poke Bank) can be migrated/transferred to future generations via the Pal Park (Gen 3 -> Gen 4), Poke Transfer (Gen 4 -> Gen 5), or Poke Bank (Gen 5 -> Gen 6/7, and Gen 6 -> Gen 7). However, this is a one-way transfer; once sent to a future generation, it is impossible to transfer a Pokémon back.

For the fringe examples, the reason why they can’t be transferred to newer games is because their data only exists in their debut games. The three examples I listed above are the only three cases I am aware of (if I missed anything, please correct me). The only other case of a Pokémon being unable to transfer is if it fails the Poke Bank’s hack check, and even then, there are many reports of hacked Pokémon getting through.
