Exciting news for *Pokemon Home* enthusiasts: Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan are now within reach following the update to version 3.2.2. However, unlocking these rare Pokemon requires you to roll up your sleeves and complete some specific tasks. While the effort is considerable, the reward of obtaining a Shiny Keldeo, previously unobtainable and Shiny-locked, makes it all worthwhile. Both Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan can then be transferred to other *Pokemon* games linked to your *Home* account, enhancing your collection.

To snag Shiny Keldeo in *Pokemon Home*, you'll need to fully complete the Galar Pokedex, which includes entries from *Sword & Shield* and the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs. Once you've ticked off every Pokemon with the Galar origin mark—a slanted PokeBall logo on their stat screen—you're ready to claim your prize. Head to the main menu, hit the three-line menu icon, and select "Mystery Gift" to receive your Shiny Keldeo. Don't rush; there's no deadline, so take your time to fill out your Pokedex at your own pace.
Similarly, to unlock Shiny Meltan, you must complete the Kanto Pokedex in *Pokemon Home* with Pokemon from *Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee*. Ensure each Pokemon has the Let's Go marker—a Pikachu silhouette above their stat screen. Once your Kanto Pokedex is complete, navigate to the "Mystery Gift" option in the main menu to claim your Shiny Meltan. Like Keldeo, there's no rush; you can take as long as you need.
If you're facing issues with Pokemon not registering in your *Pokemon Home* Pokedex, it's likely due to a data glitch. Thankfully, it's easily fixable by clearing your app's cache. Follow these steps as recommended by Pokemon's support website:
