"Shiny Keldeo and Meltan Now Available in Pokemon Home"
Exciting news for *Pokemon Home* enthusiasts! With the latest update to version 3.2.2, players can now add Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan to their collections. 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 a Shiny Keldeo, previously unobtainable and Shiny-locked, makes the effort well worth it. Once you've secured these Shiny legends, you can transfer them to other *Pokemon* games linked to your *Home* account.

To snag Shiny Keldeo, you'll need to fully complete the Galar Pokedex in *Pokemon Home*. This includes Pokémon from *Sword & Shield* as well as those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs, each with their own Pokedexes. After completing these, navigate 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 PokéBall 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 within *Sword & Shield* itself won't count towards this requirement in *Pokemon Home*.
There's no rush to complete this task, as there's no deadline to claim Shiny Keldeo.

Similarly, to obtain Shiny Meltan, you must complete the Kanto Pokedex in *Pokemon Home* with Pokémon from *Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee*. These Pokémon need to bear the Let's Go marker, depicted as a Pikachu silhouette above their stat screen.
Once your Kanto Pokedex is complete, you can claim your Shiny Meltan through the "Mystery Gift" option in the main menu. Like Keldeo, there's no time limit to unlock and claim Shiny Meltan.
Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?
Some *Pokemon Home* mobile users have encountered issues with Pokémon not registering in their Pokedexes due to data problems. To resolve this, you can clear your app's cache. Here's how:
- Open the app and select the "Menu" icon (three lines within a circle) in the top-right corner of the title screen.
- Choose "Clear Cache." You'll be reassured that "None of the data you’re currently using will be deleted."
- Tap "OK" and you'll see a confirmation message stating "Cache successfully cleared!"
This should fix any registration issues with your Pokedexes.
