"Shiny Meloetta, Manaphy, Enamorus: How to Get Them in Pokémon Home"

by Ethan Jul 15,2025

*Pokémon* fans have a rare opportunity to collect three highly sought-after Shiny Legendary Pokémon—Meloetta, Manaphy, and Enamorus—directly through the *Pokémon Home* app. However, each comes with its own set of challenges, requiring players to complete specific Pokédex entries across multiple *Pokémon* titles. While the process is undeniably demanding, the reward of obtaining these elusive Shinies makes the effort well worth it.

To claim your Shiny Manaphy in *Pokémon Home*, you must fully complete the Sinnoh Pokédex within the app. This can only be achieved by first completing the Pokédex in either *Pokémon Brilliant Diamond* or *Shining Pearl*. After capturing all 150 Pokémon in the Sinnoh region and confirming this completion through the *Pokémon Home* app, a Shiny Manaphy will be delivered to your Nintendo account via Mystery Gift.

While this task requires time and dedication, it's relatively straightforward compared to the other Shiny promotions. Given that Shiny Manaphy was nearly impossible to obtain before this event, this is a golden chance for collectors.

The process for obtaining Shiny Enamorus mirrors that of Shiny Manaphy but involves a different regional Pokédex. Players must complete the Hisui Pokédex from *Pokémon Legends: Arceus*. Once every one of the 242 Pokémon has been registered, you can confirm your progress in the *Pokémon Home* app under the "Games" tab. Following confirmation, Shiny Enamorus will be sent to your account as a Mystery Gift.

Due to the larger number of required Pokémon and the unique gameplay mechanics of *Legends: Arceus*, this challenge may take longer than the previous one—but it’s still entirely achievable with patience and persistence.

Of the three, Shiny Meloetta is arguably the most difficult to unlock. To receive it in *Pokémon Home*, players must complete three separate Pokédexes: the Paldea, Kitakami, and Blueberry Pokedexes. These are available in *Pokémon Scarlet* and *Violet*, including their respective DLC expansions—the *The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero* Part 1 and Part 2.

Each Dex has a substantial catch requirement: 400 Pokémon for Paldea, 200 for Kitakami, and 243 for Blueberry. Importantly, all Pokémon must be caught directly in *Scarlet* or *Violet*—transfers from other games won’t count toward completion.

As this is currently the only way to acquire a Shiny Meloetta, dedicated trainers who aim to complete their collection will find this challenge rewarding despite its difficulty.

Final Notes

Thankfully, none of these promotions come with an expiration date. That means players can take their time completing the necessary Pokédexes without the pressure of a ticking clock. Whether you're after one or all three of these Shiny Legendaries, consistent effort and access to the required games will eventually lead to success.

So grab your Poké Balls, dive into *Pokémon Scarlet*, *Violet*, *Brilliant Diamond*, *Shining Pearl*, or *Legends: Arceus*, and start filling those Pokédexes—one Pokémon at a time!
