Shiny Keldeo and Meltan are now available in Pokémon Home (version 3.2.2 and later), but obtaining them requires completing specific tasks. While challenging, acquiring Shiny Keldeo is particularly rewarding, as it was previously unobtainable legitimately and Shiny-locked. Once obtained, both Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan can be transferred to other compatible Pokémon games linked to your Home account.

Claiming Shiny Keldeo in Pokémon Home

To receive Shiny Keldeo, you must complete the Galar Pokédex in Pokémon Sword & Shield, including entries from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs. Crucially, all Pokémon must possess the Galar origin mark (a slanted Poké Ball icon above their stats) indicating they originated from Sword & Shield or its DLC. Completing the Pokédexes in Sword & Shield alone is insufficient. After completing the Pokédex, select "Mystery Gift" from the main menu (accessed via the three-line menu icon).

There's no deadline for claiming Shiny Keldeo.

Claiming Shiny Meltan in Pokémon Home

Similarly, obtaining Shiny Meltan requires completing the Kanto Pokédex in Pokémon Home using Pokémon possessing the Let's Go marker (a Pikachu silhouette above their stats) from Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee. Once complete, claim Shiny Meltan via the "Mystery Gift" option. Like Keldeo, there's no time limit.

Troubleshooting Pokédex Registration Issues

Pokémon Home mobile users may encounter Pokédex registration problems due to data issues. To resolve this, clear the app's cache:

1. Open the app and select the three-line menu icon in the top-right corner of the title screen.
2. Choose "Clear Cache."
3. Confirm by tapping "OK." A confirmation message will appear.

This should resolve any registration issues.
