To add Shiny Keldeo to your collection, you must fully complete the Galar Pokedex, including entries from *Sword & Shield* and its expansions, the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra. Each Pokémon must bear the Galar origin mark, a slanted PokéBall logo above their stat screen, indicating they originated from these games. Once your Pokedex is complete, navigate to the main menu, select the three-line menu icon, and choose "Mystery Gift" to claim your Shiny Keldeo. There's no rush, as there's no deadline to complete this task.

Similarly, to unlock Shiny Meltan, you need to complete the Kanto Pokedex within *Pokemon Home* using Pokémon from *Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee*. These Pokémon must have the Let's Go marker, a Pikachu silhouette above their stat screen. Once the Kanto Pokedex is complete, head to the main menu's "Mystery Gift" option to receive your Shiny Meltan. Like Keldeo, there's no time limit to achieve this.

Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?

If you're encountering issues with Pokémon not registering in your *Pokemon Home* Pokedex on mobile devices, it's likely due to a data issue that can be fixed by clearing the app's cache. Follow these steps as recommended by Pokémon's support:

  • Open the app and tap the "Menu" icon in the top-right corner of the title screen.
  • Select "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 that the cache has been successfully cleared.

After clearing the cache, your Pokedex should now correctly register your Pokémon.

Now that you're equipped with the knowledge to secure Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan in *Pokemon Home*, consider exploring strategies to defeat Mega Tyranitar in *Pokemon GO* or redeeming current *Pokemon GO* promo codes for additional rewards.
