Shiny Keldeo and Meltan are now available in *Pokémon Home* (version 3.2.2 and up), but obtaining them requires completing specific Pokédex entries. While challenging, acquiring Shiny Keldeo is particularly rewarding, as it was previously unobtainable legitimately and Shiny-locked.
Once acquired, both Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan can be transferred to other compatible *Pokémon* games linked to your *Pokémon Home* account.
How to Get Shiny Keldeo in Pokémon Home
To obtain 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, indicating they originated from Sword & Shield or its DLC. Simply completing the Pokédexes in Sword & Shield itself is insufficient. The Galar mark is a slanted Poké Ball logo above each Pokémon's stats.
After completing the Pokédex, select the three-line menu icon, choose "Mystery Gift," and claim 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 above the stats) from Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee. Once complete, claim your Shiny Meltan via the "Mystery Gift" option. There is no deadline for claiming Shiny Meltan.
Pokémon Home Pokédex Not Registering?
Some mobile users experience Pokédex registration issues. To resolve this, clear your Pokémon Home app cache:
- Open the app and select the three-line menu icon in the top-right corner.
- Choose "Clear Cache."
- Confirm by tapping "OK." A confirmation message will appear.
This should resolve any Pokédex registration problems.
Now that you know how to obtain Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan, explore other *Pokémon* adventures!
