How To Get Shiny Keldeo & Shiny Meltan in Pokemon Home

Pokémon Home version 3.2.2 introduces Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan, but obtaining them requires completing specific Pokédexes. While challenging, acquiring Shiny Keldeo is particularly rewarding, as it was previously unavailable legitimately and Shiny-locked.

How To Get Shiny Keldeo in Pokémon Home

To receive Shiny Keldeo, complete the Galar Pokédex in Pokémon Sword & Shield, including entries from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs. Crucially, Pokémon must possess the Galar origin mark (a slanted Poké Ball logo above their stats) to register. Completing the Pokédexes in *Sword & Shield* alone is insufficient. After completing the Pokédex, select "Mystery Gift" from the main menu (accessed via the three-line menu icon).

There's no deadline for claiming Shiny Keldeo.

How To Get Shiny Meltan in Pokémon Home

Similarly, obtaining Shiny Meltan requires completing the Kanto Pokédex in Pokémon Home using Pokémon marked with the Let's Go marker (a Pikachu silhouette above their stats). These Pokémon must originate from Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee. Once complete, claim Shiny Meltan via the "Mystery Gift" option.

Like Keldeo, there's no deadline for claiming Shiny Meltan.

Why Isn't Pokémon Home Registering My Pokédex?

Some mobile users experience Pokédex registration issues. Clearing the app's cache often resolves this. To do so:

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."

A confirmation message will appear. This should resolve Pokédex registration problems.
