Exciting news for *Pokemon Home* enthusiasts: with the latest update to version 3.2.2, you can now snag Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan! However, unlocking these treasures requires some effort. The reward? A chance to transfer these coveted Shiny Pokémon to other *Pokemon* games linked to your *Home* account—a truly worthwhile endeavor, especially since Shiny Keldeo was previously Shiny-locked and unobtainable.
How To Get Shiny Keldeo in Pokemon Home
Once you've successfully filled your Galar Pokedex, navigate to the main menu, select the three-line menu icon, and choose "Mystery Gift" to claim your Shiny Keldeo. Remember, there's no rush; you can take your time to complete the Pokedex without worrying about a deadline.
How To Get Shiny Meltan in Pokemon Home
Similarly, to obtain Shiny Meltan, you must complete the Kanto Pokedex in *Pokemon Home* with Pokémon from *Let’s Go Pikachu & Eevee*. These Pokémon need to have the Let’s Go marker—a Pikachu silhouette above their stat screen.
Upon completing your Kanto Pokedex, head over to the main menu and select "Mystery Gift" to unlock your Shiny Meltan. Just like with Keldeo, there’s no time limit, so you can work at your own pace.
Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?
If you're facing issues with *Pokemon Home* not registering your Pokémon in the Pokedex, it might be due to a data glitch. Fortunately, this can be easily fixed by clearing the app's cache. Here’s how:
- Open the *Pokemon Home* app and tap the “Menu” icon (three lines within a circle) at the top-right of the title screen.
- Select “Clear Cache.”
- Confirm with “OK” when prompted that “None of the data you’re currently using will be deleted.”
- After the cache is cleared, a message will confirm the action, and your Pokedex should now register Pokémon correctly.
Now that you're equipped with the knowledge to obtain Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan in *Pokemon Home*, why not explore more? Check out the best counters for Mega Tyranitar in *Pokemon GO*, or grab some free rewards with the latest *Pokemon GO* promo codes.
