Shiny Keldeo & Meltan Now Available in Pokemon Home

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 claim these coveted Shiny Pokémon, 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 complete the Galar Pokedex with Pokémon from *Sword & Shield*, including those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs. Each of these regions has its own Pokedex that you need to fill. After achieving 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 these Pokedexes. This mark signifies that the Pokémon originated from *Sword & Shield* or its DLCs. Completing the Pokedexes in *Sword & Shield* itself won't suffice for *Pokemon Home*. 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, 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 claim Shiny Meltan, so you can work at your own pace.

Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?

If you're facing issues with *Pokemon Home* not registering your Pokedex entries, 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:

• Open the app and tap the "Menu" icon (three lines within a circle) in the top-right corner of the title screen.
• Select "Clear Cache."
• Confirm with "OK" when prompted that "None of the data you’re currently using will be deleted."
• After clearing the cache, you should see a message confirming "Cache successfully cleared!"

This should resolve any issues with your Pokedex not registering Pokémon correctly.
