*Pokémon* enthusiasts can now embark on an exciting challenge to collect Shiny Meloetta, Manaphy, and Enamorus within the *Pokémon Home* app. While the journey to obtaining all three shiny legendaries is filled with hurdles, it's designed to encourage more engagement with the storage service by requiring the addition of numerous *Pokémon* into *Home*.
How to Get Shiny Manaphy in Pokémon Home
To secure the Shiny Manaphy in *Pokémon Home*, players must conquer the Sinnoh Pokedex within the mobile storage app. This task requires ownership of *Pokémon Brilliant Diamond* or *Shining Pearl*. You'll need to complete the Pokedex in these games and then verify its completion in the *Pokémon Home* app. Once you've registered every Pokémon in the Sinnoh regional dex, a Shiny Manaphy will be delivered to your Nintendo User’s account via mystery gift.
The Sinnoh Pokedex in *Brilliant Diamond* and *Shining Pearl* includes 150 *Pokémon*, making it a manageable, yet time-intensive endeavor. The allure of a Shiny Manaphy, previously nearly unattainable, makes this challenge incredibly rewarding.
How to Get Shiny Enamorus in Pokémon Home
Acquiring the Shiny Enamorus in *Pokémon Home* demands the same level of commitment as obtaining the Shiny Manaphy, but with a twist: you'll need to complete the Hisui Pokedex from *Pokémon Legends: Arceus*. After registering every Pokémon, navigate to the games tab in *Pokémon Home* and confirm the completion. Upon verification, the Shiny Enamorus will be sent to you via mystery gift.
Completing the Hisui Pokedex is more demanding, encompassing 242 *Pokémon*, almost a hundred more than the Sinnoh Pokedex. However, the semi-open-world exploration in *Legends: Arceus* can make the journey more engaging and enjoyable.
How to Get Shiny Meloetta in Pokémon Home
The most challenging of the trio, Shiny Meloetta, requires players to complete three distinct Pokedexes: the Paldea, Kitakami, and Blueberry Pokedexes. These must be filled by capturing the necessary *Pokémon* in *Pokémon Scarlet* or *Violet*, including the *Hidden Treasure of Area Zero* DLC for access to the Kitakami and Blueberry Pokedexes.
The Paldea Pokedex contains 400 *Pokémon*, the Kitakami Pokedex (from the Teal Mask expansion) requires 200, and the Blueberry Dex (from the Indigo Disk expansion) demands 243. Importantly, *Pokémon* must be caught directly in *Scarlet* and *Violet*—transfers from other games won't suffice. This task, while daunting, is the only current way to obtain a Shiny Meloetta, making it a coveted achievement for dedicated collectors.
Fortunately, these challenges are not time-limited, allowing players to take their time in amassing the vast numbers of *Pokémon* needed for each Shiny legendary.
And that's how you can acquire Shiny Meloetta, Shiny Manaphy, and Shiny Enamorus in *Pokémon Home*.
