Pokémon HOME is an app for mobile devices and the Nintendo Switch that was developed by ILCA and published by The Pokémon Company. It was released worldwide on February 12, 2020. It is a cloud service that's used for transferring Pokémon between games. It is also the successor to Pokémon Bank for the Nintendo 3DS.
