The region where you first meet a Pokémon does not permanently determine where it must live. You can take it elsewhere and assign a new home, provided it is free to travel and the destination has room.

## Prepare the new home first

Choose an unoccupied habitat or a house with space for the new resident. Finish construction and make the entrance accessible before bringing the Pokémon. Moving the building itself is a different action and does not replace assigning a home to the resident.

## Travel and confirm the move

- Find the Pokémon and ask it to come with you. Complete any request that prevents it from leaving its current region.

- Open the menu's home-travel option and choose the destination region. You need an established home there to use this route.

- Your accompanying Pokémon travels with you. Lead it to the new habitat or house, keeping the path accessible.

- Speak to it beside the destination and choose the dialogue asking whether it wants to move there. Finish that conversation and check the new home assignment.

## If the resident refuses or leaves again

Travelling together only brings a visitor: it does not automatically change the Pokémon's home. If the move option is missing, stand closer to the intended destination, check its available space and finish any outstanding request. After a successful move, review comfort again. Different surroundings can change comfort and therefore the region's environment level.
