*If Pokémon brought over as visitors know moves that cannot be used in Pokémon Champions, you’ll need to change those moves via training.
*Any training that Pokémon underwent in Pokémon Champions won't be retained when they're back in Pokémon HOME, but if they visit Pokémon Champions again, they'll arrive trained in exactly the same way as before.
*If a visiting Pokémon leaves Pokémon Champions, then returns in a different form, the results of any training that Pokémon had undergone in Pokémon Champions will be wiped clean.
