Heck, you might even be able to transfer enough Pok\u00e9mon right away to fill out your Pok\u00e9dex immediately.<\/p>\n<p>The second, and most exciting, reason to transfer Pok\u00e9mon from GO to Let&#8217;s Go is to get your hands on the brand new Pok\u00e9mon Meltan and its evolution Melmetal.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I Transfer Any Pok\u00e9mon?<\/h3>\n<p>Nope! As of this moment, you can only transfer Pok\u00e9mon from the Kanto region, as well as Meltan, and Melmetal. However, Game Freak made it clear that if Pok\u00e9mon: Let&#8217;s Go is sufficiently popular, that we could see other regions make the cut later on, paving the way for the rest of the Pok\u00e9mon to join the game.<\/p>\n<h3>Will My Pok\u00e9mon Be Exactly The Same?<\/h3>\n<p>No, a Pok\u00e9mon&#8217;s stats will be affected in the transition. This is due to the fact that Pok\u00e9mon GO features only three stats (or IVs) in attack, defence, and stamina, but Let&#8217;s Go splits these into six. During the transfer, a Pok\u00e9mon&#8217;s stats will adapt to the new system accordingly. It should perform comparably to its Pok\u00e9mon GO version, despite the slight difference in stats.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I Transfer Pok\u00e9mon From Pok\u00e9mon: Let&#8217;s Go To Pok\u00e9mon GO?<\/h3>\n<p>No, you can only transfer Pok\u00e9mon from Pok\u00e9mon GO to Let&#8217;s Go at this time. You can&#8217;t even transfer Pok\u00e9mon back once transferred.<\/p>\n<h3>Is There A Limit To The Number Of Pok\u00e9mon GO Accounts I Can Connect To Nintendo Switch?<\/h3>\n<p>No limits! You can connect an unlimited number of Pok\u00e9mon GO accounts to Let&#8217;s Go, including your friend&#8217;s and family&#8217;s accounts.<\/p>\n<h3>What Is The Mystery Box And How Do I Use It To Unlock Meltan?<\/h3>\n<p>The Mystery Box is a special item you earn in Pok\u00e9mon GO when you first transfer a Pok\u00e9mon to Let&#8217;s Go. When you use it, you&#8217;ll have an increased chance to catch Meltan for a limited time. When the box closes, you&#8217;ll have to wait seven days to open it again.<\/p>\n<h3>If I Lose Connection While Transferring Pok\u00e9mon, Will I Lose Them?<\/h3>\n<p>That is a possibility, yes. Your best bet is to only transfer Pok\u00e9mon when you&#8217;re in an environment with a secure and stable network connection.<\/p>\n<p><em>Was this guide useful?
