Can you transfer illegal Pokémon to home?

You generally can't reliably transfer obviously illegal Pokémon (with impossible moves/stats/forms) to Pokémon Home, as Home has internal checks that flag them, potentially blocking the transfer or even preventing future use in Home, though outright bans for receiving one are rare unless you're distributing them. "Good" hacks or clones (that look legal) often pass checks and can go into Home, but Pokémon with impossible ribbons or forms (like Castform Sunny Form) often get blocked or may even become "bad eggs".

Alakazam has spoons because they are psychic amplifiers, created from its own mental energy, helping it focus and boost its incredible telekinetic powers; they act as conduits for its brain's alpha waves, and without them, its power is halved, a design inspired by real-life spoon-bending psychics like Uri Geller.
