It takes a little bit less than one week to refill the Go Transporter when its completely empty.Transferring a Shiny Pokmon or Mythical Pokmon costs about 1/4 of the bar, and transferring a Shiny Legendary Pokmon depletes the entire bar. Transferring a regular Legendary Pokmon costs less than 1/6 of the bar. Pokmon with higher CP also cost a bit more to transfer.You can only transfer Legendary Pokmon to Nintendo Switch games if youve already registered in the Pokdex for that game, so dont get your hopes up if youre just trying to quickly flesh out your dex.Some perks like Dynamax will be entirely removed from Pokmon upon transfer and stats are transferred, based on the Pokmons stats in Pokmon Go.
