Pokémon Home version 3.2.2 introduces Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan, but obtaining them requires completing specific Pokédex entries. While challenging, acquiring Shiny Keldeo is particularly rewarding, as it was previously unavailable legitimately and Shiny-locked.

Once obtained, these Shiny Pokémon can be transferred to other compatible Pokémon games linked to your Home account.

How to Get Shiny Keldeo in Pokémon Home

To claim 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. Simply completing the Pokédexes in Sword & Shield isn't sufficient.

After completing the Pokédex, select the three-line menu icon, choose "Mystery Gift," and receive your Shiny Keldeo. There's no deadline for claiming it.

How to Get Shiny Meltan in Pokémon Home

Similarly, obtaining Shiny Meltan requires completing the Kanto Pokédex in Pokémon Home using Pokémon marked with the Let's Go marker (a Pikachu silhouette). These Pokémon must originate from Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee.

Upon completion, claim Shiny Meltan via the Mystery Gift option. Like Keldeo, there's no time limit.

Troubleshooting Pokédex Registration Issues

Some mobile users experience Pokédex registration problems. To resolve this, clear your Pokémon Home app cache:

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

This should resolve registration issues and allow proper Pokédex entry tracking.
