How To Get Shiny Meloetta, Shiny Manaphy, and Shiny Enamorus in Pokémon Home
Pokémon fans rejoice! Shiny Meloetta, Manaphy, and Enamorus are now available in Pokémon Home, but obtaining this trio of legendary Pokémon requires a significant undertaking. This promotion incentivizes Pokémon Home usage by rewarding players who populate their storage with a large number of Pokémon.
How to Get Shiny Manaphy in Pokémon Home
To snag Shiny Manaphy, you'll need to complete the Sinnoh Pokédex in Pokémon Home. This means playing Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl, completing their Pokédexes, and then verifying completion within the Pokémon Home app. 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. Before this event, obtaining a Shiny Manaphy was nearly impossible, making this reward particularly valuable.
How to Get Shiny Enamorus in Pokémon Home
Similar to Manaphy, Shiny Enamorus requires completing a regional Pokédex – this time, the Hisui Pokédex from Pokémon Legends: Arceus. After registering every Pokémon, follow the same steps as with Manaphy: confirm completion in Pokémon Home's games tab, and receive your Shiny Enamorus via Mystery Gift. With 242 Pokémon, the Hisui Pokédex presents a more significant challenge than the Sinnoh Pokédex, though Legends: Arceus's open-world structure might ease the burden.
How to Get Shiny Meloetta in Pokémon Home
Shiny Meloetta is the most challenging to obtain, demanding completion of three Pokédexes: Paldea, Kitakami, and Blueberry. These are found in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, requiring both the base game and the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC. Importantly, you must catch these Pokémon directly in Scarlet and Violet; transferring them won't work. The Paldea Pokédex contains 400 Pokémon, Kitakami (from Teal Mask) 200, and Blueberry (from Indigo Disk) 243. This promotion offers the only current method to obtain a Shiny Meloetta, making it a highly sought-after prize for dedicated collectors.
Thankfully, these giveaways are ongoing, allowing players ample time to complete the Pokédexes at their own pace. Good luck catching 'em all!
