Pokémon Bank shuts down in 2027 — migrate to Pokémon Home now or lose your Pokémon
TL;DR
Pokémon Bank will end service on February 25, 2027 (7pm PST), and transferring Pokémon from Bank to Pokémon Home will no longer be possible after that, so players should migrate their stored Pokémon to Home before the deadline; FireRed and LeafGreen will link to Home by October 2026, with speculation about ports for Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.
