Exciting news for *Pokemon Home* players: with the update to version 3.2.2, you can now add Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan to your collection. However, to unlock these coveted Shiny forms, you'll need to complete some specific tasks. While the requirements might seem daunting, the reward of obtaining a Shiny Keldeo, previously unattainable and Shiny-locked, makes it all worthwhile. Once you've secured these Shiny legends, you can transfer them to other *Pokemon* games linked to your *Home* account.
How To Get Shiny Keldeo in Pokemon Home
To get your hands on Shiny Keldeo, you'll need to fully complete the Galar Pokedex in *Pokemon Home*. This includes registering Pokemon from *Sword & Shield*, as well as those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs, each with their own Pokedexes. After achieving this, navigate to the main menu, select the three-line menu icon, and choose "Mystery Gift" to claim your Shiny Keldeo.
Remember, only Pokemon with the Galar origin mark, indicated by a slanted PokeBall logo above their stat screen, will count towards completing these Pokedexes. This mark signifies that the Pokemon originated from *Sword & Shield* or its DLCs. Completing the Pokedexes in *Sword & Shield* itself won't suffice for *Pokemon Home*.
There's no rush to complete this task, as there's no deadline for claiming Shiny Keldeo.
How To Get Shiny Meltan in Pokemon Home
Similarly, to unlock Shiny Meltan, you must complete the Kanto Pokedex in *Pokemon Home* with Pokemon from *Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee*. These Pokemon need to have the Let's Go marker, represented by a Pikachu silhouette above their stat screen.
Once your Kanto Pokedex is complete, head to the main menu and select "Mystery Gift" to receive your Shiny Meltan. Like Keldeo, there's no time limit to claim this Shiny variant.
Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?
If you're experiencing issues with *Pokemon Home* not registering your Pokedex entries, it might be due to a data problem. Fortunately, this can be fixed by clearing your app's cache. Follow these steps as recommended by Pokemon's support website:
- Open the app and tap the "Menu" icon (three lines within a circle) in the top-right corner of the title screen.
- Select "Clear Cache."
- Confirm with "OK" when prompted that no data will be deleted.
- After the cache is cleared, your Pokedex should start registering Pokemon correctly.
