Shiny Keldeo and Meltan are now available in Pokémon Home (version 3.2.2 and later), but acquiring them requires completing specific tasks. While challenging, obtaining Shiny Keldeo is particularly rewarding, as it was previously unobtainable legitimately and Shiny-locked. Both Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan can then be transferred to other connected Pokémon games.

Similarly, obtaining Shiny Meltan requires completing the Kanto Pokédex in Pokémon Home using Pokémon with the Let's Go marker (a Pikachu silhouette above their stats) originating from Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee. Once complete, claim Shiny Meltan via the "Mystery Gift" option. Like Keldeo, there's no time limit.
Troubleshooting Pokédex Registration Issues in Pokémon Home
Mobile users may encounter Pokédex registration problems. To resolve this, clear the app's cache:
- Open the app and select the three-line menu icon in the top-right corner of the title screen.
- Choose "Clear Cache."
- Confirm by tapping "OK." The game assures you that active data will not be deleted.
After clearing the cache, your Pokédex should register Pokémon correctly.
