"Shiny Keldeo and Meltan Now Available in Pokemon Home"

by Chloe May 15,2025

Exciting news for *Pokemon Home* enthusiasts: you can now snag Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan by updating to version 3.2.2! Although it requires some effort, the reward of obtaining a Shiny Keldeo is particularly enticing, as it was previously Shiny-locked and unobtainable through legitimate means. Once you've added these shiny gems to your collection, you can seamlessly transfer them to other *Pokemon* games linked to your *Home* account.

To get your hands on Shiny Keldeo in *Pokemon Home*, you'll need to fully complete the Galar Pokedex. This includes registering all Pokemon from *Sword & Shield* as well as those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs in their respective Pokedexes. After achieving this, you can claim your Shiny Keldeo through the "Mystery Gift" option, accessible via the three-line menu icon on the main menu.

Remember, only Pokemon with the Galar origin mark—a slanted PokeBall logo above their stat screen—will count towards completing these Pokedexes. This means they must have originated from *Sword & Shield* or its DLCs, not from previously completed Pokedexes in *Sword & Shield*.

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

Similarly, to secure Shiny Meltan, you'll need to complete the Kanto Pokedex in *Pokemon Home* with Pokemon from *Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee*. These Pokemon must bear the Let's Go marker, symbolized by 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. Again, there's no time limit to worry about.

Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?

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

  • Open the app and tap the "Menu" icon (three-line symbol within a circle) in the top-right corner of the title screen.
  • Select "Clear Cache."
  • Confirm with the "OK" button; you'll be reassured that no current data will be lost.
  • Once cleared, a message will confirm the success of the operation.

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