List of game-based Pokémon

Shiny Meltan

This Shiny Meltan was released to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Pokémon HOME. Players could redeem this Pokémon from the mobile version if they had registered a complete Kanto Pokédex (excluding Mew, Meltan, and Melmetal) within HOME by depositing Pokémon caught within Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. The Premium Plan is not required to receive this gift; there is no need to have all of them present within HOME at the same time.

This is the first time a Shiny Meltan has ever been legitimately obtainable outside of Pokémon GO. It has a guaranteed Adamant nature, with IVs of 20 in Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, and 31 in HP, Attack, and Defense. It also has a Souvenir Ribbon.

Unlike previous HOME-based distributions, Meltan has Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! as the last game visited instead of Pokémon HOME.
