Shiny Meltan, Shiny Slowpoke Will Appear From Mystery Box during the Pokémon HOME event

Following the integration of Pokemon GO x Pokemon HOME, trainers will have the chance to catch shiny Meltan which they can then send to their Pokemon games on the Switch.

Slowpoke will also have a chance of being shiny during this event which begins tomorrow at 8am.

Trainers,

In celebration of Pokémon GO’s integration with Pokémon HOME, a special event will be taking place soon! Activate a Mystery Box during the event, and you might encounter a Shiny Meltan. There’s also plenty of research to enjoy—from Timed Research that rewards Pidgeot Mega Energy to Field Research tasks that lead to encounters with Slowpoke and others! In addition, Mega Pidgeot will receive a CP boost during the event period, so if you haven’t Mega Evolved one yet, this might be a good time to do so.
