Shiny Keldeo and Meltan are now available for *Pokemon Home* players who update to version 3.2.2, but there are specific tasks you must complete to obtain them. These tasks might be challenging, but the rewards are significant, especially since Shiny Keldeo was previously unobtainable and Shiny-locked. Once acquired, both Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan can be transferred to other *Pokemon* games linked to your *Home* account.

To obtain Shiny Keldeo in *Pokemon Home*, you must complete the Galar Pokedex using Pokemon from *Sword & Shield*, including those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs, each with their own Pokedex. After completing the Pokedex, you can claim Shiny Keldeo through the "Mystery Gift" option accessible from the main menu's three-line icon.
Remember, only Pokemon with the Galar origin mark, indicating they originated from *Sword & Shield* or its DLCs, will count towards completing these Pokedexes. The Galar mark is a slanted PokeBall logo visible above the stat screen of each Pokemon. There is no rush to complete this task, as there is no deadline for claiming Shiny Keldeo.
How To Get Shiny Meltan in Pokemon Home
Similarly, to get Shiny Meltan, you need to complete the Kanto Pokedex in *Pokemon Home* with Pokemon from *Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee*. These Pokemon must have the Let's Go marker, represented by a Pikachu silhouette above their stat screen. Once your Kanto Pokedex is complete, you can claim Shiny Meltan via the Mystery Gift option in the main menu. Like Keldeo, there's no deadline for claiming Shiny Meltan.
Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?
Some *Pokemon Home* mobile users encounter issues with Pokemon not registering in their Pokedex due to data problems. To resolve this, clear your app's cache following these steps:
- 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 assure you that "None of the data you’re currently using will be deleted."
- Tap "OK" to see the message "Cache successfully cleared!"
After clearing the cache, your Pokedex should correctly register your Pokemon.
Now that you know how to obtain Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan in *Pokemon Home*, consider exploring strategies to defeat Mega Tyranitar in *Pokemon GO* or redeeming current *Pokemon GO* promo codes for additional rewards.
