Exciting news for *Pokemon Home* players! After updating to version 3.2.2, you can now add Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan to your collection, but there are specific tasks you need to complete first. While the requirements might seem daunting, the reward of obtaining Shiny Keldeo, previously unobtainable and Shiny-locked, is well worth the effort. Once you've secured these Shiny Pokémon, you can transfer them to your other *Pokemon* games linked to your *Home* account.

To get Shiny Keldeo in *Pokemon Home*, you must first complete the Galar Pokedex with Pokémon from *Sword & Shield*, including those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs, ensuring each Pokémon has the Galar origin mark. This mark, a slanted PokeBall logo found above the stat screen, indicates that the Pokémon originated from *Sword & Shield* or its DLCs. After completing the Pokedex, you can claim Shiny Keldeo via the "Mystery Gift" option accessible from the main menu's three-line icon. There's no rush, as there's no deadline to claim Shiny Keldeo.
How To Get Shiny Meltan in Pokemon Home
Similarly, to obtain Shiny Meltan, you need to complete the Kanto Pokedex in *Pokemon Home* with Pokémon from *Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee*, each marked with the Let's Go marker, a Pikachu silhouette above the stat screen. Once your Kanto Pokedex is complete, Shiny Meltan becomes available through the Mystery Gift option in the main menu. Like Keldeo, there's no time limit to claim Shiny Meltan.
Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?
If you're facing issues with Pokémon not registering in your Pokedex on the mobile version of *Pokemon Home*, it could be due to a data issue. You can resolve this by clearing your app's cache. Follow these steps as recommended by Pokémon's support:
- 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 game will reassure you that "None of the data you’re currently using will be deleted."
- Tap "OK." You'll see a message confirming "Cache successfully cleared!"
After clearing the cache, your Pokedex should correctly register your Pokémon. Now that you know how to secure Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan in *Pokemon Home*, consider exploring strategies to counter Mega Tyranitar in *Pokemon GO* or check out the latest *Pokemon GO* promo codes for additional rewards.
