How to Transfer Pokemon from Xy to Oras Without Pokebank
To begin the process, ensure that you have both Xy and Oras games and two Nintendo 3DS consoles. This method requires local wireless communication, so it’s important to have access to multiple devices.
Firstly, load up both games on their respective consoles. In Xy, head over to the Pokemon Center and find the person standing next to a PC. This is where you’ll initiate the transfer process. Speak with them and select “Pokemon Link” option.
Preparing Your Pokemon in XY
If you’re looking to transfer your beloved Pokemon from XY to ORAS without using the Pokebank, there are a few important steps you need to take beforehand. In this section, I’ll guide you through the process of preparing your Pokemon in XY so that they’re ready for the transfer.
- Organize and Sort: The first step is to organize and sort through your Pokemon collection in XY. Take some time to go through each box and ensure that all your desired Pokemon are easily accessible. This will make it much easier when it comes time to select which ones you want to transfer.
- Level Up and Evolve: Before transferring your Pokemon, it’s essential to level them up and evolve them if necessary. By doing this in XY, you can ensure that they retain their levels and evolutions when transferred over to ORAS. Use rare candies or battle experience points (EXP) gained from battles against other trainers or wild Pokemon to boost their levels.
- Teach TM Moves: If any of your Pokemon have moves taught by Technical Machines (TMs), double-check that they have learned all the desired moves before the transfer. Once in ORAS, TMs may not be available or teach different moves, so it’s best to make sure everything is set before moving them.
- Check Abilities: Another crucial aspect is verifying the abilities of your Pokemon in XY. Some abilities may change or no longer exist in ORAS, so it’s vital to confirm that each Pokemon has its ideal ability before initiating the transfer.
- Breed Desired Movesets: Breeding can be a valuable strategy for obtaining specific movesets on your transferred Pokémon in ORAS without relying on move tutors or relearning moves via heart scales later on. So, if there are particular movesets you desire for certain Pokémon, consider breeding them in XY before transferring.
By following these steps and ensuring everything is well-prepared in XY, you’ll be ready to smoothly transfer your Pokemon over to ORAS without relying on the Pokebank. Once they’re safely transferred, you can continue your journey with your cherished companions by your side.
Checking for Compatibility Issues
Now that we’ve covered the initial steps of transferring Pokemon from XY to ORAS without Pokebank, it’s time to address a crucial aspect: checking for compatibility issues. Ensuring that your Pokemon can seamlessly make the journey is essential for a successful transfer.
Here are some steps you can follow to check compatibility:
- Verify Game Versions: First and foremost, ensure that you have compatible game versions. Transfer between XY and ORAS is only possible if both games belong to the same generation (Generation VI). It means that you can transfer Pokemon from X or Y version to Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire versions and vice versa.
- Check Regional Variations: It’s important to note that certain Pokemon may have different forms or variations depending on their region of origin. Before initiating the transfer, double-check whether any of your Pokemon have regional variants exclusive to XY or ORAS. Failure to account for these variations may result in incompatible transfers.
- Review Move Compatibility: Another crucial consideration is move compatibility. Some moves introduced in later generations may not be available in earlier games like XY. If a transferred Pokemon possesses an incompatible move, it won’t be able to retain it upon reaching its destination in ORAS.
- Assess Mega Evolutions: Megas are an exciting feature introduced in Generation VI, but not all Mega Stones are available in both XY and ORAS games. Before transferring any Mega-Evolved Pokemon, verify if their corresponding Mega Stones exist in the target game.
- Evaluate Item Compatibility: Lastly, take into account items held by your Pokémon during transfer since certain items may not be present or function differently across versions. Make sure none of your Pokémon are holding items exclusive to XY or ORAS as they won’t carry over during the transfer process.
By carefully reviewing these compatibility factors, you’ll avoid potential pitfalls during the transfer process and ensure a smooth transition for your beloved Pokémon from XY to ORAS without relying on the Pokebank.
