Shiny Keldeo and Meltan have become available to *Pokemon Home* players following the version 3.2.2 update, though completing specific tasks is required to obtain them.

While the requirements are substantial, acquiring Shiny Keldeo proves worthwhile as this previously Shiny-locked Legendary wasn't obtainable through legitimate means before. Players can now transfer both Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan to other *Pokemon* games linked to their *Home* account.

Obtaining Shiny Keldeo in Pokemon Home

The exclusive method to acquire Shiny Keldeo involves completing the Galar Pokedex with creatures from *Sword & Shield*, including those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLC expansions - each featuring their own distinct Pokedex entries.

After completing this requirement, players can claim Shiny Keldeo through the "Mystery Gift" option in the main menu, accessible via the three-line menu icon displaying the game's various options.

Important Note: Only Pokemon bearing the Galar origin mark (shown as a slanted PokeBall logo above each creature's stat screen) will register in these regional Pokedexes. Simply having completed the Pokedexes in *Sword & Shield* doesn't automatically qualify.

The distribution for Shiny Keldeo has no expiration date, allowing players ample time to complete their Pokedex at their own pace.

Acquiring Shiny Meltan in Pokemon Home

Similar to Keldeo, obtaining Shiny Meltan requires completing *Home's* Kanto Pokedex exclusively with creatures from *Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee*. These Pokemon must display the Let's Go marker (a Pikachu silhouette) above their stat screens to qualify.

Upon Kanto Pokedex completion, Shiny Meltan becomes available through the Mystery Gift feature in the main menu. Like its Legendary counterpart, this distribution also has no expiration date.

Troubleshooting Pokedex Registration Issues

Mobile users encountering Pokedex registration problems can resolve this by clearing the app's cache through these steps:

2. Choose "Clear Cache" (note: no user data will be deleted)
3. Confirm with the "OK" button
4. Wait for the "Cache successfully cleared!" confirmation message

This typically resolves any previous registration issues.
