Exciting news for *Pokemon Home* enthusiasts: with the update to version 3.2.2, you can now get your hands on Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan. These coveted Pokémon come with a set of tasks, but trust us, the effort is well worth it—especially for Shiny Keldeo, which was previously unattainable in its Shiny form due to being Shiny-locked. Once obtained, you can transfer both Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan to other *Pokemon* games linked to your *Home* account, expanding your collection across the series.
How To Get Shiny Keldeo in Pokemon Home
To secure Shiny Keldeo, you'll need to fully complete the Galar Pokedex in *Pokemon Home*. This means registering all Pokémon from *Sword & Shield*, including those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs, into their respective Pokedexes within the game. It's crucial that these Pokémon carry the Galar origin mark, a slanted PokéBall logo visible above their stat screen, indicating they originated from *Sword & Shield* or its DLCs. Remember, previously completing these Pokedexes in *Sword & Shield* itself won't count towards *Pokemon Home*.
Once you've ticked all the boxes, you can claim your Shiny Keldeo by navigating to the "Mystery Gift" option in the main menu, accessible after tapping the three-line menu icon. There's no rush, as there's no deadline to claim Shiny Keldeo, allowing you ample time to complete your Pokedex.
How To Get Shiny Meltan in Pokemon Home
Similarly, to add Shiny Meltan to your collection, you must complete the Kanto Pokedex in *Pokemon Home* with Pokémon from *Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee*. Each Pokémon must bear the Let’s Go marker—a Pikachu silhouette above their stat screen. After completing your Kanto Pokedex, you can claim your Shiny Meltan through the Mystery Gift option in the main menu. Like Keldeo, there's no time limit to claim Shiny Meltan, so take your time to fill out your Pokedex.
Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?
If you're encountering issues with Pokémon not registering in your *Pokemon Home* Pokedex, a common problem on mobile devices, it's likely due to a data issue. Fortunately, this can be easily resolved by clearing your app's cache. Here's how:
- Open the *Pokemon Home* app.
- Select the "Menu" icon in the top-right corner of the title screen (it looks like three lines within a circle).
- Choose "Clear Cache." The game will reassure you that "None of the data you’re currently using will be deleted."
- Tap the "OK" button.
- You should then see a message confirming that your cache has been successfully cleared.
After clearing the cache, your Pokedex should correctly register your Pokémon. Now that you're equipped with the knowledge to obtain Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan, why not explore the best counters to take down Mega Tyranitar in *Pokemon GO*?
