Shiny Pokémon Incoming for Pokémon Home

Secure Your Shiny Trio: Meloetta, Manaphy, and Enamorus in Pokémon Home!

Pokémon Home offers a fantastic opportunity to add Shiny Meloetta, Manaphy, and Enamorus to your collection. However, obtaining this trio requires significant effort. This guide details the steps involved in securing each legendary Pokémon.

Claiming Shiny Manaphy:

To acquire Shiny Manaphy, complete the Sinnoh Pokédex in Pokémon Home. This necessitates playing Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl, completing their Pokédexes, and then verifying completion within the Pokémon Home app. Upon confirmation, a Shiny Manaphy will be delivered via Mystery Gift to your Nintendo account. The Sinnoh Pokédex contains 150 Pokémon, making this a time-consuming but achievable task.

Obtaining Shiny Enamorus:

Similar to Manaphy, Shiny Enamorus requires completing a regional Pokédex—this time, the Hisui Pokédex from Pokémon Legends: Arceus. After registering all 242 Pokémon, confirm your progress in Pokémon Home. The Shiny Enamorus will then arrive via Mystery Gift. While more challenging than the Manaphy quest due to the larger Pokédex, Legends: Arceus’ open-world nature might ease the process.

Unlocking Shiny Meloetta:

Shiny Meloetta presents the most significant challenge. Complete the Paldea, Kitakami, and Blueberry Pokédexes in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, including the DLCs, Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. Transferring Pokémon from other games won't suffice; you must catch them within Scarlet and Violet. The Paldea Pokédex boasts 400 Pokémon, the Kitakami (Teal Mask) 200, and the Blueberry (Indigo Disk) 243. This promotion offers the only current method to obtain Shiny Meloetta.

Important Note: These giveaways are ongoing, allowing players ample time to complete the Pokédex requirements. Good luck catching 'em all!
