To catch Shiny Keldeo, *Pokemon Home* players must first complete the Galar Pokedex using Pokemon from *Sword & Shield*, including those from the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs. Each of these Pokemon must have the Galar origin mark, signified by a slanted PokeBall logo above their stat screen, to count towards the Pokedex completion. Once you've achieved this, you can claim your Shiny Keldeo through the "Mystery Gift" option accessible from the main menu's three-line menu icon. There's no rush, as there's no deadline for claiming Shiny Keldeo.

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 feature the Let's Go marker, a Pikachu silhouette above their stat screen, to be registered. After completing your Kanto Pokedex, you can access Shiny Meltan via the Mystery Gift option on the main menu. Just like with Keldeo, there's no time limit to claim Shiny Meltan.

Why Is Pokemon Home Not Registering My Pokedex?

If you're experiencing issues with *Pokemon Home* not registering your Pokedex entries, it might be due to a data issue, particularly on mobile devices. To resolve this, follow these steps as recommended by Pokemon's support website:

  • Open the *Pokemon Home* app and select the "Menu" icon (three lines in a circle) at the top-right of the title screen.
  • Choose "Clear Cache." The app assures you that none of your current data will be deleted.
  • Tap "OK" to confirm. You'll receive a message confirming that the cache has been successfully cleared.

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