"Shiny Keldeo & Meltan Now Available in Pokemon Home"

Author : Aiden Update : Apr 07,2025

Exciting news for *Pokemon Home* enthusiasts: the latest update to version 3.2.2 brings the opportunity to snag Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan. However, to claim these coveted Pokémon, you'll need to roll up your sleeves and complete some specific tasks. While the journey might be challenging, the reward of obtaining a Shiny Keldeo, previously unattainable and Shiny-locked, is undoubtedly worth it. Once you've secured these Shiny legends, you can transfer them to other *Pokemon* games linked to your *Home* account, enhancing your collection across the board.

To get your hands on Shiny Keldeo, you'll need to fully complete the Galar Pokedex in *Pokemon Home*. This involves registering Pokémon from *Sword & Shield*, as well as those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs, each with their own Pokedexes. Remember, only Pokémon with the Galar origin mark, indicated by a slanted PokeBall logo above their stat screen, will count towards your Galar, Isle of Armor, and Crown Tundra Pokedexes. Completing these Pokedexes in *Sword & Shield* itself won't suffice for *Pokemon Home*.

Once you've met these requirements, 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 this Shiny Pokémon, so take your time to complete your Pokedex.

Similarly, to unlock Shiny Meltan, you must complete the Kanto Pokedex in *Pokemon Home* with Pokémon from *Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee*. These Pokémon need to bear the Let's Go marker, symbolized by a Pikachu silhouette above their stat screen. After completing your Kanto Pokedex, head to the main menu and select "Mystery Gift" to receive your Shiny Meltan. Like Keldeo, there's no time limit to claim this Shiny Pokémon.

Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?

If you're facing issues with *Pokemon Home* not registering your Pokedex entries, it might be due to a data glitch. Fortunately, this can be easily fixed by clearing your app's cache. Follow these steps as recommended by Pokémon's support website:

  • Open the *Pokemon Home* app.
  • Select the "Menu" icon (three lines within a circle) in the top-right corner of the title screen.
  • Choose "Clear Cache."
  • Confirm with "OK" when prompted that no data will be deleted.
  • After clearing the cache, you should see a message confirming the action.

This should resolve any issues with your Pokedex not registering Pokémon correctly.
