Exciting news for *Pokemon Home* enthusiasts: the latest update to version 3.2.2 introduces the chance to acquire Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan. However, to unlock these coveted Pokémon, players must undertake specific tasks that, while challenging, are well worth the effort. Shiny Keldeo, previously unobtainable and Shiny-locked, is a particularly enticing reward. Once you've secured these Shinies, you can transfer them to other *Pokemon* games linked to your *Home* account, enhancing your collection across multiple platforms.
How To Get Shiny Keldeo in Pokemon Home
To obtain Shiny Keldeo in *Pokemon Home*, you must complete the Galar Pokedex. This involves registering all Pokémon from *Sword & Shield*, as well as those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs, in their respective Pokedexes within the game. After fulfilling this requirement, you can claim your Shiny Keldeo through the "Mystery Gift" option accessible from the main menu, which you can find by selecting the three-line menu icon.
It's crucial to note that only Pokémon with the Galar origin mark will count towards completing these Pokedexes. This mark, a slanted PokeBall logo, must be visible above the stat screen of each Pokémon. If you've already completed the Pokedexes in *Sword & Shield*, those entries won't automatically register in *Pokemon Home*.
There's no rush to complete this task, as there's no deadline for claiming Shiny Keldeo, allowing you to take your time in building your collection.
How To Get Shiny Meltan in Pokemon Home
Similarly, to unlock Shiny Meltan, you need to complete the Kanto Pokedex within *Pokemon Home* using Pokémon from *Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee*. Each Pokémon must bear the Let’s Go marker, a Pikachu silhouette above their stat screen, to be eligible. Upon completing the Kanto Pokedex, you can claim your Shiny Meltan via the "Mystery Gift" option in the main menu.
Like with Keldeo, there's no time limit to unlock Shiny Meltan, giving you flexibility in your pursuit.
Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?
Some *Pokemon Home* mobile users have encountered issues with Pokémon not registering in their Pokedex due to data problems. Fortunately, this can be resolved by clearing your app's cache. Follow these steps as advised by Pokemon’s support website:
- Open the app and select the "Menu" icon (three lines within a circle) at the top-right corner of the title screen.
- Choose "Clear Cache." You’ll be reassured that "None of the data you’re currently using will be deleted."
- Tap "OK" to see the message "Cache successfully cleared!"
This should resolve any issues with your Pokedex not registering Pokémon correctly.
