How To Get Shiny Keldeo & Shiny Meltan in Pokemon Home

Shiny Keldeo and Meltan are now available in Pokémon Home (version 3.2.2 and later), but acquiring them requires completing specific tasks. While challenging, obtaining Shiny Keldeo is particularly rewarding, as it was previously unobtainable legitimately and Shiny-locked. Both Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan can then be transferred to other compatible Pokémon games linked to your Home account.

Unlocking Shiny Keldeo:

To receive Shiny Keldeo, you must 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 icon above their stats) to register. Completing the Pokédexes in Sword & Shield alone is insufficient. After completing the Pokédex, claim Shiny Keldeo via the "Mystery Gift" option (accessible through the three-line menu icon). There's no deadline for claiming this reward.

Unlocking Shiny Meltan:

Similarly, obtaining Shiny Meltan requires completing the Kanto Pokédex in Pokémon Home using Pokémon bearing 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 through the "Mystery Gift" option. Like Keldeo, there is no time limit for claiming this reward.

Troubleshooting Pokédex Registration Issues:

Mobile users experiencing Pokédex registration problems may need to clear their Pokémon Home app cache. To do this:

1. Open the app and select the three-line menu icon in the top-right corner of the title screen.
2. Choose "Clear Cache."
3. Confirm by tapping "OK."

This process should resolve registration issues without deleting any game data.
