Pokémon Home version 3.2.2 introduces Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan, but obtaining them requires completing specific Pokédex entries. While challenging, acquiring Shiny Keldeo is particularly rewarding, as it was previously unavailable legitimately and Shiny-locked.

How to Get Shiny Keldeo in Pokémon Home
To receive Shiny Keldeo, you must complete the Galar Pokédex in Pokémon Sword and Shield, including entries from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs. Crucially, all Pokémon must possess the Galar origin mark, indicating they originated from Sword & Shield or its DLC. Simply completing the Pokédexes in the main games isn't sufficient. The Galar mark is a slanted Poké Ball logo above each Pokémon's stats.
After completing the Pokédex, select "Mystery Gift" from the main menu (accessed via the three-line menu icon). There's no deadline for claiming Shiny Keldeo.

How to Get Shiny Meltan in Pokémon Home
Similarly, obtaining Shiny Meltan requires completing the Kanto Pokédex in Pokémon Home using Pokémon with the Let's Go marker (a Pikachu silhouette above the stats) from Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee. Once complete, claim Shiny Meltan via the "Mystery Gift" option. There is no deadline for claiming Shiny Meltan.

Why Isn't Pokémon Home Registering My Pokédex?
Some mobile users experience Pokédex registration issues due to data problems. Clearing the app's cache resolves this. Follow these steps:
- Open the app and select the three-line menu icon in the top-right corner.
- Choose "Clear Cache."
- Confirm by tapping "OK."
A confirmation message will appear. This should resolve Pokédex registration issues.
