"Shiny Keldeo & Meltan: How to Get Them in Pokemon Home"

May 01,2025 Author: Olivia

Exciting news for *Pokemon Home* enthusiasts: with the update to version 3.2.2, you now have the chance to snag Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan! However, to add these coveted Pokemon to your collection, you'll need to roll up your sleeves and complete a few tasks. While the journey might be challenging, the reward of obtaining Shiny Keldeo, previously Shiny-locked, makes it all worthwhile. Once you've secured them in *Pokemon Home*, you can transfer both Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan to other *Pokemon* games linked to your *Home* account.

To unlock Shiny Keldeo, you must fully complete the Galar Pokedex with Pokemon from *Sword & Shield*, as well as those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs. Each of these Pokemon must have the Galar origin mark—a slanted PokeBall logo found above their stat screen—indicating they originated from the *Sword & Shield* base game or its DLCs. After achieving this, navigate to the main menu, select the three-line menu icon, and choose "Mystery Gift" to claim your Shiny Keldeo. There's no rush, as there's no deadline to claim Shiny Keldeo, so take your time to fill out your Pokedex.

Similarly, to get Shiny Meltan, you need to complete the Kanto Pokedex in *Pokemon Home* with Pokemon from *Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee*. These Pokemon must have the Let’s Go marker, symbolized by a Pikachu silhouette above their stat screen. Once your Kanto Pokedex is complete, head to the main menu and select "Mystery Gift" to receive your Shiny Meltan. Like Keldeo, there's no deadline, so you can take as long as you need to complete your Pokedex.

Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?

If you're encountering issues with *Pokemon Home* not registering your Pokedex entries, it's likely due to a data glitch affecting mobile users. To fix this, clear your app's cache by following these steps:

  • Open the *Pokemon Home* app.
  • Tap the "Menu" icon (three lines within a circle) at the top-right of the title screen.
  • Select "Clear Cache."
  • Tap "OK" when prompted that no data will be deleted.
  • Once the cache is cleared, your Pokedex should start registering Pokemon correctly.

With these steps, you're now equipped to add Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan to your *Pokemon Home* collection. For more *Pokemon* adventures, explore the best counters to defeat Mega Tyranitar in *Pokemon GO*, or redeem current *Pokemon GO* promo codes for additional free rewards.
