Shiny Pokémon: Home's Meloetta, Manaphy, Enamorus

Pokémon fans rejoice! Shiny Meloetta, Manaphy, and Enamorus are now available in Pokémon Home, but securing this trio of legendary Pokémon requires a significant undertaking. To incentivize Pokémon Home usage, obtaining these shiny Pokémon involves populating your Home storage with a substantial number of Pokémon.

How to Get Shiny Manaphy in Pokémon Home

To snag Shiny Manaphy, you'll need to complete the entire Sinnoh Pokédex within the Pokémon Home app. This means playing Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl, catching every Sinnoh Pokémon, and then verifying your complete Pokédex in Pokémon Home. Once confirmed, a Shiny Manaphy will be sent to your Nintendo account via Mystery Gift. The Sinnoh Pokédex contains 150 Pokémon, making this a manageable, albeit time-consuming, task. The reward, however, is well worth the effort, as obtaining a Shiny Manaphy outside this event is exceptionally difficult.

How to Get Shiny Enamorus in Pokémon Home

Shiny Enamorus follows a similar process to Manaphy, but requires completing the Hisui Pokédex from Pokémon Legends: Arceus. After registering every Pokémon, confirm your completed Pokédex in Pokémon Home to receive your Shiny Enamorus via Mystery Gift. The Hisui Pokédex boasts 242 Pokémon, significantly more than the Sinnoh Pokédex, presenting a greater challenge. However, Legends: Arceus' open-world design may make the completion process more enjoyable.

How to Get Shiny Meloetta in Pokémon Home

Shiny Meloetta is arguably the most challenging to obtain, demanding completion of three Pokédexes: Paldea, Kitakami, and Blueberry. This requires playing Pokémon Scarlet or Violet, including both DLCs, "The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero," to access the Kitakami and Blueberry Pokédexes. You must catch Pokémon directly in Scarlet or Violet; transferring them from other games won't work. The Paldea Pokédex contains 400 Pokémon, Kitakami 200, and Blueberry 243. This event provides the only current way to obtain Shiny Meloetta, making it a rewarding endeavor for dedicated collectors.

Importantly, these giveaways are not time-limited, allowing players to collect Pokémon at their own pace. So, get out there and start catching those Pokémon to claim your shiny rewards!
