Shiny Keldeo & Meltan Now Available in Pokemon Home

With the latest update to version 3.2.2 of *Pokemon Home*, players can now obtain Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan, but there are specific tasks to complete. While the requirements might seem daunting, the reward of obtaining Shiny Keldeo, previously Shiny-locked and unobtainable through legitimate means, is well worth the effort. Both Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan can be transferred to other *Pokemon* games linked to your *Pokemon Home* account.

To acquire Shiny Keldeo, you must complete the Galar Pokedex in *Pokemon Home* with Pokemon from *Sword & Shield*, including those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs. Each Pokemon must have the Galar origin mark, a slanted PokeBall logo found above their stat screen, indicating they originated from *Sword & Shield* or its DLCs. After completing the Pokedex, you can claim Shiny Keldeo via the "Mystery Gift" option on the main menu, accessible through the three-line menu icon.

There's no rush to complete this task as there is no deadline for claiming Shiny Keldeo.

How to Get Shiny Meltan in Pokemon Home

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, a Pikachu silhouette above their stat screen. Once your Kanto Pokedex is complete, you can claim Shiny Meltan through the Mystery Gift option in the main menu.

Like with Keldeo, there is no time limit to claim Shiny Meltan.

Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?

Some *Pokemon Home* mobile users have encountered issues with Pokemon not registering in their Pokedex due to data problems. To fix this, you can clear your cache following these steps:

• Open the app and select the "Menu" icon (three-line symbol within a circle) in the top-right corner of the title screen.
• Choose "Clear Cache." The app will assure you that "None of the data you’re currently using will be deleted."
• Tap "OK" to clear the cache. You should see a message confirming that the cache has been successfully cleared.

After clearing the cache, your Pokedex should register Pokemon correctly.
