Pokémon enthusiasts have a fantastic opportunity to add Shiny Meloetta, Manaphy, and Enamorus to their collections via the Pokémon Home app. While rewarding, obtaining all three requires significant effort and completion of multiple Pokédexes.
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 verifying your completed Pokédex within the Pokémon Home app. Once confirmed, a Shiny Manaphy will be sent to your Nintendo account as a Mystery Gift. The Sinnoh Pokédex contains 150 Pokémon, making this a manageable, albeit time-consuming, task. The reward is well worth the effort, as Shiny Manaphy is incredibly rare outside of this event.
How to Get Shiny Enamorus in Pokémon Home
Similar to obtaining Manaphy, securing Shiny Enamorus requires completing a regional Pokédex—this time, the Hisui Pokédex from Pokémon Legends: Arceus. After registering every Pokémon in the Hisui Pokédex (242 Pokémon), follow the same steps as with Manaphy: confirm completion in Pokémon Home and receive your Shiny Enamorus via Mystery Gift. While more challenging than completing the Sinnoh Pokédex due to its larger size, Legends: Arceus's open-world gameplay might make the process more enjoyable.
How to Get Shiny Meloetta in Pokémon Home
Shiny Meloetta presents the biggest challenge. To obtain it, you must complete three Pokédexes: Paldea, Kitakami, and Blueberry. This requires playing Pokémon Scarlet or Violet, including both DLC expansions, "The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero," to access the Kitakami and Blueberry Pokédexes. Importantly, you must catch these Pokémon directly in Scarlet or Violet; transferring them from other games won't work. The Paldea Pokédex contains 400 Pokémon, Kitakami has 200, and Blueberry has 243. This is currently the only way to obtain Shiny Meloetta, making it a highly sought-after reward for dedicated collectors.
Importantly, these giveaways are not time-limited, giving players ample time to complete these Pokédexes at their own pace. Good luck catching them all!
