Why were these hacks removed?

Nah, Aug 12: When Janna first got the takedown request, she and the admins looked into it to the best of their ability to verify that it was a legitimate takedown request from Nintendo/Game Freak, and as far as they could tell, it was indeed real and not fake.

Can you transfer pokemon from Switch/GBA ROMS to Pokemon Home (Blessed shield/sigma platinum/Unbound)

Corveone, Jun 25: Rom hacks usually modify Pokémon stats, movesets and/or Abilities. So safe answer is no, those Pokémon would be technically "illegal" unless you make sure you're transfering from a rom hack that doesn't change anything.
