Pokemon Home Giving Players 2 Rare Shiny Pokemon, But There’s a Catch

by

Summary

  • Pokemon Home is giving away shiny variants of Enamorus and Manaphy.
  • A shiny Manaphy can be obtained by completing the Sinnoh Pokedex from Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
  • A shiny Enamorus is available as a reward for completing the Hisui Pokedex from Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

Shiny versions of Enarmous and Manaphy are now being distributed through Pokemon Home. Enarmous is a fresh entry to the app, while obtaining these freebies isn’t as simple as it sounds; you need to fill up several Pokédexes within Pokemon Home first.

Nintendo’s cloud-based platform for saving and transporting Pokémon, known as Pokémon Home, was initially rolled out in February 2020. Since its debut, this service has frequently provided free Pokémon through giveaways.

Moving forward, the app introduced special versions of Manaphy and Enarmous on January 28th. Yet, these aren’t accessible for all users; instead, they can only be obtained by Pokemon Home players who have successfully completed their Generation 8 Pokedex.

How To Get Shiny Enamorus in Pokemon Home

In February 2022, when Enamorus made its debut in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the method for acquiring its shimmering version within Pokemon Home involves capturing all creatures from that game and moving them to the application. Once you’ve filled the Hisui Pokedex, confirm your accomplishment by accessing the “Games” section in Pokemon Home. This confirmation will reward you with a free shiny Enamorus. This is the first time this ultra-rare variant of the legendary Pokemon has been made accessible within the app.

How To Get Shiny Manaphy in Pokemon Home

Currently, you can find a radiant Manaphy in Pokemon Home by completing the Pokedex from Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl in Sinnoh region. Similar to Enamorus, the final step is verifying the completion of the Generation 4 Pokedex through the “Games” tab within the app. Many Pokemon Home users might not have Manaphy yet because it was previously only accessible by transferring a Manaphy egg from Pokemon Ranger and getting fortunate with the random shiny roll upon hatching, which had a 1 in 8,192 chance of success. Not getting the desired outcome meant restarting Pokemon Ranger and redoing the process to obtain the egg, a lengthy task that discouraged most casual shiny hunters.

As a dedicated Pokémon enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the latest additions to our roster, Manaphy and Enamorus, have been unveiled without defined expiration dates, hinting they could be ours forever within Pokémon Home! It’s reasonable to anticipate similar rewards for finishing the upcoming instalment in the legendary series, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, scheduled for 2025. Excitingly, we might catch a glimpse of the spin-off’s gameplay footage and official release date on February 27, marking this year’s Pokemon Day!
