Exciting news for *Pokemon Home* players! With the update to version 3.2.2, you now have the chance to add Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan to your collection. While the tasks to unlock these Shiny variants might seem daunting, the payoff is huge, especially for Shiny Keldeo, which was previously unobtainable in its Shiny form.
Once you've secured these Shiny legends, you can transfer them to other *Pokemon* games linked to your *Pokemon Home* account, enhancing your team across various platforms.

To unlock Shiny Keldeo, you must complete the Galar Pokedex in *Pokemon Home*. This includes registering Pokemon from *Sword & Shield*, along with those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs, each with their own Pokedex requirements. Importantly, all these Pokemon must bear the Galar origin mark, indicated by a slanted PokeBall logo above their stat screen, to count towards your Pokedex completion.
Once your Galar Pokedex is complete, head to the main menu, click the three-line menu icon, and select "Mystery Gift" to claim your Shiny Keldeo. There's no rush, as there's no deadline to achieve this.

Similarly, to obtain Shiny Meltan, you'll need to complete the Kanto Pokedex in *Pokemon Home* with Pokemon from *Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee*. These Pokemon must have the Let’s Go marker, shown as a Pikachu silhouette above their stat screen.
Upon completing your Kanto Pokedex, navigate to the main menu, select the "Mystery Gift" option, and claim your Shiny Meltan. Just like with Keldeo, there's no time limit to meet this goal.

Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?
If you're facing issues with your Pokemon not registering in the *Pokemon Home* Pokedex, it might be due to a data problem. Fortunately, you can resolve this by clearing your app's cache. According to Pokemon's support website, follow these steps:
- Open the app and select the “Menu” icon in the top-right corner of the title screen (it looks like three lines within a circle).
- Choose “Clear Cache.”
- You'll see a reassuring message: “None of the data you’re currently using will be deleted.”
- Tap the “OK” button.
- A message will confirm: “Cache successfully cleared!”
After clearing the cache, your Pokedex should correctly register your Pokemon.
