To celebrate the arrival of Pokémon Home to Pokémon Go, developer Niantic is hosting a massive celebration week to encourage trainers to try out the new service. There will be exclusive Pokémon spawns, eggs, a timed research event, and the main event features the chance for trainers to obtain a shiny Meltan.
The Pokémon Home event will be kicking off starting on November 17 at 8 AM and continues to the 23 until 10 PM in your local timezone.

Meltan’s shiny version is returning for a limited time. You’ll be able to get yours by opening up your mystery box, but it’s not a certain drop. Once the event wraps up, the shiny version of Meltan will go away.

The Pokémon HOME event will also feature a timed research trainers to do as soon as the event launches. We’ll be learning more details about it once it officially releases.
