*Pokémon* enthusiasts have a new challenge on their hands: collecting Shiny Meloetta, Manaphy, and Enamorus through the *Pokémon Home* app. However, securing all three shiny legendaries involves overcoming significant hurdles, as the process is intricately tied to filling up your *Pokémon* collections within the app.
How to Get Shiny Manaphy in Pokémon Home
To claim the Shiny Manaphy in *Pokémon Home*, you'll need to complete the entire Sinnoh Pokédex. This requires owning either *Pokémon Brilliant Diamond* or *Shining Pearl*, playing through these games to fill out the Pokédex, and then verifying its completion in the *Pokémon Home* app. Once your Sinnoh Pokédex is fully registered, a Shiny Manaphy will be delivered to your Nintendo account via mystery gift. With 150 *Pokémon* to catch in the Sinnoh Pokédex, this task is straightforward yet time-consuming. The allure of a Shiny Manaphy, previously nearly unattainable, makes this effort highly rewarding.
How to Get Shiny Enamorus in Pokémon Home
Unlocking the Shiny Enamorus in *Pokémon Home* follows a similar process but demands completion of the Hisui Pokédex from *Pokémon Legends: Arceus*. After registering all 242 *Pokémon* in the Hisui Pokédex, head to *Pokémon Home*, navigate to the games tab, and confirm your completion. Your Shiny Enamorus will then be sent to you via mystery gift. While more challenging due to the larger number of *Pokémon* involved, the semi-open-world nature of *Legends: Arceus* can make this journey more enjoyable.
How to Get Shiny Meloetta in Pokémon Home
The most demanding of the three, obtaining Shiny Meloetta requires completing not one, but three Pokédexes: the Paldea, Kitakami, and Blueberry Pokédexes. These must be filled by catching *Pokémon* directly in *Pokémon Scarlet* or *Violet*, including the *Hidden Treasure of Area Zero* DLCs for access to the Kitakami and Blueberry Pokédexes. With a total of 400 *Pokémon* in the Paldea Pokédex, 200 in the Kitakami Pokédex, and 243 in the Blueberry Pokédex, this challenge is the most extensive. Yet, for dedicated collectors, the reward of a Shiny Meloetta, exclusive to this *Pokémon Home* event, is a coveted prize.
The good news is that these opportunities to claim Shiny Meloetta, Manaphy, and Enamorus are not time-limited, allowing players ample time to gather the necessary *Pokémon*. This approach not only encourages thorough engagement with the *Pokémon* series but also rewards patience and dedication with some of the rarest shiny legendaries available.
