• Support for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl
• Support for Pokémon Legends: Arceus
• Added software for Research Tasks

Brian of Nintendo Everything also noted that Pokemon Home received separate patch notes for the mobile version, which you can see below.

• Added compatibility with Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl
• Added compatibility with Pokémon Legends: Arceus
• Added Pokédex info from various games
• Added Challenges and stickers

Users should boot up their Nintendo Switch or mobile versions of Pokemon Home and download the 2.0.0 update as soon as possible. This will ensure players can get the most out of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, which Shacknews’ own Donovan Erskine praised in his review stating, “A clever overhaul to the battle system, improvements to exploration, and a story that dives deep into franchise lore makes Pokemon Legends: Arceus an experience that will appeal to longtime fans.” Keep it locked to Shacknews for the latest on Pokemon Home and all other Pokemon products!
