Exciting news for *Pokemon Home* enthusiasts: the latest update to version 3.2.2 brings Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan into the mix, but you'll need to roll up your sleeves and complete some tasks to snag these gems. While the journey might be demanding, the reward of obtaining Shiny Keldeo—a Legendary previously unobtainable in its Shiny form due to being Shiny-locked—is well worth the effort. Once you've secured these Shiny treasures, 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 Pokemon from *Sword & Shield* and those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs, which each have their own Pokedexes to fill out within the game.
After achieving this feat, you can claim your Shiny Keldeo by navigating to the "Mystery Gift" option in the main menu. Just hit the three-line menu icon to access the game's options and select "Mystery Gift."
Remember, only Pokemon with the Galar origin mark will count towards your Galar, Isle of Armor, and Crown Tundra Pokedexes. This mark, a slanted PokeBall logo, appears above the stat screen of each Pokemon and indicates they originated from *Sword & Shield* or its DLCs. Completing the Pokedexes in *Sword & Shield* itself won't count towards this requirement in *Pokemon Home*.
There's no rush to claim Shiny Keldeo, as there's no deadline for this reward. Take your time to complete your Pokedex at your own pace.
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 bear the Let's Go marker, symbolized by a Pikachu silhouette above their stat screen.
Once your Kanto Pokedex is complete, you can claim your Shiny Meltan through the "Mystery Gift" option in the main menu. Like Shiny Keldeo, there's no time limit to claim Shiny Meltan, so you can work on your Pokedex without pressure.
Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?
If you're facing issues with *Pokemon Home* not registering your Pokedex entries, it might be due to a data glitch. Fortunately, clearing your app's cache can resolve this problem. Here's how to do it, as advised by Pokemon's support website:
- Open the *Pokemon Home* app.
- Tap the "Menu" icon (three lines within a circle) in the top-right corner of the title screen.
- Select "Clear Cache."
- Confirm with "OK" after the game reassures you that no current data will be deleted.
- You'll see a message confirming that the cache has been successfully cleared.
After clearing the cache, your Pokedex should start registering your Pokemon correctly.
