To obtain Shiny Keldeo in *Pokemon Home*, you'll need to complete the Galar Pokedex, which includes Pokémon from *Sword & Shield* as well as those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs. Each of these Pokémon must have the Galar origin mark, indicating they originated from the base game or its DLCs. This mark is represented by a slanted PokéBall logo above the stat screen of each Pokémon.

Once you've completed the necessary Pokedex entries, you can claim Shiny Keldeo through the "Mystery Gift" option in the main menu. Simply select the three-line menu icon to access the game's options and choose "Mystery Gift." There's no rush, as there's no deadline to claim Shiny Keldeo.

Similarly, to get 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. After completing the Kanto Pokedex, you can claim Shiny Meltan via the "Mystery Gift" option. Like Keldeo, there's no time limit to unlock Shiny Meltan.

Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?

If you're encountering issues with Pokémon not registering in your *Pokemon Home* Pokedex, it might be due to a data glitch. Fortunately, this can be fixed by clearing your app's cache. Follow these steps as recommended by Pokémon's support:

  • Open the app and select the "Menu" icon (three-line symbol 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" to proceed, and you'll see a confirmation message that the cache has been successfully cleared.

After clearing the cache, your Pokedex should start registering Pokémon correctly.

With these tips, you're now equipped to add Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan to your *Pokemon Home* collection. For more Pokémon adventures, check out the best counters to beat Mega Tyranitar in *Pokemon GO*, or redeem the latest *Pokemon GO* promo codes for additional in-game rewards.
