Exciting news for *Pokemon Home* enthusiasts: Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan are now within reach after updating to version 3.2.2 of the game. However, to add these coveted Shiny Pokémon to your collection, you'll need to complete some specific tasks. While the requirements might seem daunting, the reward of obtaining Shiny Keldeo, previously unattainable and Shiny-locked, makes it all worthwhile. Once you've secured these Shiny legends, you can transfer them to other *Pokemon* games linked to your *Home* account.
To snag Shiny Keldeo in *Pokemon Home*, you must first complete the Galar Pokedex. This involves registering Pokémon from *Sword & Shield*, as well as those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs, into their respective Pokedexes within the game. Once you've accomplished this, head to the main menu, select the three-line menu icon, and choose "Mystery Gift" to claim your Shiny Keldeo.
Remember, only Pokémon with the Galar origin mark, indicated by a slanted PokeBall logo above their stat screen, will count towards completing these Pokedexes. Pokémon transferred from other regions won't register, even if you've already completed the Pokedexes in *Sword & Shield*. Fortunately, there's no rush; you can take your time to complete your Pokedex and claim Shiny Keldeo whenever you're ready.
Similarly, to obtain Shiny Meltan, you need to complete the Kanto Pokedex in *Pokemon Home* with Pokémon from *Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee*. These Pokémon 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. Like Keldeo, there's no deadline to worry about, so you can work at your own pace.
If you're encountering issues with *Pokemon Home* not registering your Pokémon in the Pokedex, it might be due to a data glitch. Fortunately, this can be easily fixed by clearing your app's cache. Follow these steps as recommended by Pokémon's support website:
