Pokémon fans rejoice! Shiny Meloetta, Manaphy, and Enamorus are now available in Pokémon Home, but obtaining this trio of shiny legendaries requires a significant commitment. This Pokémon Home promotion encourages extensive use of the service, rewarding players who populate their Home accounts with a large number of Pokémon.
How to Get Shiny Manaphy in Pokémon Home
To snag Shiny Manaphy, you'll need to complete the entire Sinnoh Pokédex in Pokémon Home. This means playing Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl, catching every Sinnoh Pokémon, and then confirming your completed Pokédex within the Pokémon Home app. Once verified, a Shiny Manaphy will be sent to your Nintendo account via Mystery Gift. The Sinnoh Pokédex contains 150 Pokémon—a challenging but achievable task, especially considering the rarity of Shiny Manaphy outside this event.
How to Get Shiny Enamorus in Pokémon Home
Shiny Enamorus follows a similar process. Complete the Hisui Pokédex from Pokémon Legends: Arceus, verify it in Pokémon Home, and claim your reward via Mystery Gift. However, the Hisui Pokédex boasts 242 Pokémon, making this a more substantial undertaking than obtaining Manaphy. The open-world nature of Legends: Arceus might, however, make the collection process feel less daunting.
How to Get Shiny Meloetta in Pokémon Home
Shiny Meloetta is the most challenging of the three. You'll need to complete 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. Crucially, you must catch these Pokémon directly in Scarlet or Violet; transferring them from other games won't work. The Paldea Pokédex has 400 Pokémon, while the Kitakami and Blueberry Pokédexes contain 200 and 243 Pokémon respectively. This event offers the only current method to obtain a Shiny Meloetta, making it a highly coveted reward for dedicated collectors.
Importantly, these giveaways are not time-limited, giving players ample time to complete these extensive Pokédexes at their own pace. Good luck, trainers!
