*Pokémon* enthusiasts have a thrilling opportunity to add Shiny Meloetta, Manaphy, and Enamorus to their collections through the *Pokémon Home* app. However, obtaining these legendary shinies involves navigating some significant challenges, mainly centered around transferring large numbers of *Pokémon* into *Home* to encourage more engagement with the storage service.
How To Get Shiny Manaphy in Pokémon Home
To secure the coveted Shiny Manaphy in *Pokémon Home*, players must first complete the entire Sinnoh Pokedex within the mobile storage app. This task requires ownership of either *Pokémon Brilliant Diamond* or *Shining Pearl*. You'll need to play these games, fill out the Pokedex, and then verify its completion within the *Pokémon Home* app. Upon successful verification of registering all 150 *Pokémon* in the Sinnoh Pokedex, a Shiny Manaphy will be delivered to your Nintendo User account via mystery gift. Although time-consuming, the effort is well-rewarded with a Shiny Manaphy, a rare find that was nearly impossible to obtain before this event.
How To Get Shiny Enamorus in Pokémon Home
Acquiring the Shiny Enamorus in *Pokémon Home* follows a similar pattern to obtaining Manaphy but demands the completion of a different regional Pokedex—the Hisui Pokedex from *Pokémon Legends: Arceus*. Once you've registered all 242 *Pokémon* in this Pokedex, head over to *Pokémon Home*, navigate to the games tab, and confirm the completion. Your Shiny Enamorus will then be dispatched to your account via mystery gift. While more challenging than the Manaphy quest due to the larger number of *Pokémon* required, the semi-open-world style of *Legends: Arceus* makes this task more engaging.
How To Get Shiny Meloetta in Pokémon Home
Unlocking the Shiny Meloetta is the most demanding of the three challenges. Players must complete three distinct Pokedexes: the Paldea, Kitakami, and Blueberry Pokedexes, which are part of *Pokémon Scarlet* or *Violet* and require the *Hidden Treasure of Area Zero* DLC for access to the latter two. The Paldea Pokedex demands 400 *Pokémon*, the Kitakami Pokedex (from the Teal Mask expansion) 200, and the Blueberry Pokedex (from the Indigo Disk expansion) 243. Importantly, *Pokémon* must be caught within *Scarlet* and *Violet*—no transfers from other games are allowed for this task. Completing these Pokedexes in *Pokémon Home* will unlock the Shiny Meloetta, offering a significant challenge for dedicated collectors eager to catch them all.
Fortunately, these three giveaways are not time-limited, allowing players to take their time in amassing the required *Pokémon* for each Shiny legendary. This flexibility makes the journey of collecting Shiny Meloetta, Manaphy, and Enamorus in *Pokémon Home* a rewarding adventure for all *Pokémon* fans.
