Unlocking Shiny Keldeo:

To receive Shiny Keldeo, you must complete the Galar Pokédex in Pokémon Home. This includes Pokémon from Pokémon Sword & Shield, and its DLC expansions, the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra. Crucially, these Pokémon must possess the Galar origin mark (a slanted Poké Ball icon above their stats) indicating they originated from Sword & Shield or its DLC. Simply completing the Pokédexes within Sword & Shield itself is insufficient.

Once the Galar Pokédex is complete, access the Mystery Gift option (found via the three-line menu icon on the main screen) to claim Shiny Keldeo. There's no time limit for claiming it.

Unlocking Shiny Meltan:

Similarly, obtaining Shiny Meltan requires completing the Kanto Pokédex in Pokémon Home, using Pokémon possessing the Let's Go marker (a Pikachu silhouette above their stats) signifying their origin in Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee.

After completing the Kanto Pokédex, claim Shiny Meltan through the Mystery Gift option. Like Keldeo, there's no deadline.

Troubleshooting Pokédex Registration Issues:

If Pokémon aren't registering correctly in your Pokémon Home Pokédex (a common mobile issue), clearing the app's cache may resolve the problem. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Pokémon Home app.
  2. Access the menu (three-line icon in the top-right corner of the title screen).
  3. Select "Clear Cache."
  4. Confirm by tapping "OK."

A confirmation message will appear once the cache is cleared. This should resolve any Pokédex registration issues.
