How To Get Shiny Keldeo & Shiny Meltan in Pokemon Home

Pokémon Home players rejoice! Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan are now available after updating to version 3.2.2. While the requirements are challenging, acquiring Shiny Keldeo is particularly rewarding, as it was previously unobtainable legitimately and Shiny-locked. Once obtained, you can transfer these shiny Pokémon to other compatible games linked to your Pokémon Home account.

How To Get Shiny Keldeo in Pokémon Home

To obtain Shiny Keldeo, you must complete the Galar Pokédex in Pokémon Sword & Shield, including entries from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs. Crucially, all Pokémon must possess the Galar origin mark, indicating they originated from Sword & Shield or its DLC. Simply completing the Pokédexes in Sword & Shield itself is insufficient. The Galar mark is a slanted Poké Ball logo above each Pokémon's stats. After completing the Pokédex, select the three-line menu icon, choose "Mystery Gift," and claim your Shiny Keldeo. There's no deadline!

Similarly, Shiny Meltan requires completing the Kanto Pokédex in Pokémon Home using Pokémon with the Let's Go marker (a Pikachu silhouette above stats) originating from Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee. Once completed, claim Shiny Meltan via the Mystery Gift option. There's no rush; you can claim it at your leisure.

Why Isn't Pokémon Home Registering My Pokédex?

Some mobile users experience Pokédex registration issues due to data problems. To resolve this, clear your app cache:

1. Open the app and select the three-line menu icon in the top-right corner.
2. Choose "Clear Cache."
3. Confirm by tapping "OK."
4. A confirmation message will appear.

This should resolve the registration problem.
