How To Get Shiny Keldeo & Shiny Meltan in Pokemon Home

Shiny Keldeo and Meltan are now available in Pokémon Home (version 3.2.2 and later)! However, obtaining these shiny Pokémon requires completing specific Pokédex entries.

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 Pokémon games linked to your Home account.

How to Get 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 logo above their stats) indicating they originated from these games. Simply completing the Pokédexes in Sword & Shield is insufficient.

After completing the Pokédex, select the three-line menu icon, then choose "Mystery Gift" to claim Shiny Keldeo. There's no deadline for claiming this reward.

How to Get Shiny Meltan in Pokémon Home

Similarly, obtaining Shiny Meltan requires completing the Kanto Pokédex in Pokémon Home using Pokémon bearing the Let's Go marker (a Pikachu silhouette above their stats) from Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee.

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

Troubleshooting Pokémon Home 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."

A "Cache successfully cleared!" message confirms the process. This should resolve any registration issues.

Now that you know how to obtain Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan, enjoy your new additions!
