Exciting news for *Pokemon Home* enthusiasts: Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan are now within reach following the update to version 3.2.2. However, snagging these coveted Shiny Legendary Pokémon involves completing some challenging tasks. The effort is undoubtedly rewarding, especially since Shiny Keldeo was previously Shiny-locked and unobtainable through legitimate means. Once you've secured these Shiny treasures, you can transfer them to other *Pokemon* games linked to your *Home* account, adding a dazzling flair to your collection.
To secure Shiny Keldeo in *Pokemon Home*, you'll need to fully complete the Galar Pokedex. This means filling it with Pokémon from *Sword & Shield*, as well as those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs, each with their own Pokedex to complete within the game.
Once you've achieved this feat, you can claim your Shiny Keldeo through the "Mystery Gift" option found in the main menu. Just select the three-line menu icon to access the game’s options, and then choose "Mystery Gift."
A crucial detail to remember: Only Pokémon with the Galar origin mark, indicating they originated from *Sword & Shield* or its DLCs, will count towards your Galar, Isle of Armor, and Crown Tundra Pokedexes. Previously completed Pokedexes in *Sword & Shield* won't contribute to this requirement.
In *Pokemon Home*, the Galar mark is recognizable as a slanted PokéBall logo above each Pokémon's stat screen.
Fortunately, there's no rush to claim Shiny Keldeo, as there's no deadline for this Mystery Gift.
Similarly, to unlock Shiny Meltan, you must complete the Kanto Pokedex in *Pokemon Home* using Pokémon from *Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee*. These Pokémon need to bear the Let's Go marker, depicted as a Pikachu silhouette above their stat screens.
Upon completing your Kanto Pokedex, you can then access Shiny Meltan through the Mystery Gift option on the main menu.
Just like with Keldeo, there's no deadline to worry about when claiming Shiny Meltan as a Mystery Gift in *Pokemon Home*.
If you're experiencing issues with *Pokemon Home* not registering your Pokémon in the Pokedex on mobile, it's likely due to a data issue. Clearing your app's cache can resolve this problem. Here's how you can do it, as recommended by Pokémon's support website:
After clearing your cache, your *Pokemon Home* Pokedexes should register your Pokémon correctly.
