Pokémon Homeregularly allows trainers to get their hands on rare Shiny Pokémon. The app’s latest update has given users a brief window to add a Shiny Keldeo and a Shiny Meltan, two hard-to-get Pokémon, to their collection. However, it isn’t handing them out for free.
If you want to get these two Shinies, you’d best be ready to hop back into someoldPokémongames to complete a few ofPokémon Home’s Pokédexes. It won’t be easy, but catching Shinies never is. Here’s how to getPokémon Home‘s Shiny Keldeo and Shiny Meltan.
How to get Pokémon Home’s Shiny Keldeo
Keldeo, the Colt Pokémon, is the adoptive ward of the Swords of Justice, a trio of Legendary Pokémon introduced inPokémon: Black and White. As a Mythical Pokémon, Keldeo is usually only catchable during limited-time giveaway events (although there is an obscure way to catch itPokémon: Sword and Shield‘sCrown Tundra DLC). This is the first time its Shiny variant has been available, making it an irresistible prize for Shiny hunters.
Here’s how to get the Shiny Keldeo fromPokémon Home.
How to get Pokémon Home’s Shiny Meltan
Meltan, the Lugnut Pokémon, is one of my all-time favorite Pocket Monsters. How can you not love this little guy? Look at his little wheel nut head! Unfortunately, you can only catch Meltan inPokémon Go, the only game where it can evolve into its second form, the roided out Melmetal.
Here’s how to get the Shiny Meltan fromPokémon Home.
Before making room in your menagerie for Shiny Keldo and Shiny Meltan, don’t start thinking you can trick the system.Pokémon Homecan tell which game you got the Pokémon you’re transferring in from, and it won’t count any Pokémon that weren’t caught in the games I listed above. There are no shortcuts here; if you want these Pocket Monsters, you’ve got to put in the work and fill in those Pokédexes the old-fashioned way.
