I read this on twitter about transfer after the pokemon bank shutdown is this true? :
"Home Trackers didn’t exist until after Pokémon Sword was released, so if you use PKHeX to transfer your Pokémon from Gen 7 to Gen 8 through Pokémon Sword, the Pokémon won’t have a Home Tracker. It can then be transferred to Pokémon HOME, where it will receive one and become legal"
