Players now have the chance to add a Shiny Volcanion to their collection via Pokemon HOME, marking a special achievement. As games increasingly integrate with cloud-based services, reaching certain in-game goals can unlock unique rewards. This latest offering, the Steam Pokemon’s distribution, is tied to completing a Pokedex, moving away from traditional event codes or special events.
This guide provides a comprehensive overview of how to secure a Shiny Volcanion in Pokemon HOME.
Requirements to obtain Shiny Volcanion in Pokemon HOME
Securing a Shiny Volcanion requires players to complete the Pokedex in Pokemon Legends Z-A, which will then sync with Pokemon HOME.
To be eligible, players need to finish three separate Pokedexes in Pokemon Legends Z-A:
Shiny Volcanion can be obtained after completing the Pokedex in Pokemon Legends Z-A which will then be registered within Pokemon HOME.
To qualify, you must complete three distinct Pokedexes within Pokemon Legends Z-A:
- Lumiose Pokedex
- Hyperspace Pokedex
- Mega Evolution Pokedex
The important condition is that every Pokemon counted toward completion must be transferred from Pokemon Legends Z-A and carry its Origin Mark. Without this mark, the entries won’t count towards the HOME completion requirements.
For the Mega Evolution Pokedex, there’s some flexibility. Event-exclusive Pokemon like Mewtwo, Garchomp, Diancie, and Zeraora are not necessary for the dex’s completion.

Steps to claim the Shiny Volcanion in Pokemon HOME
Once all three Pokedexes are completed in Pokemon HOME, follow these steps:
- Open the app and go to the Games tab.
- Confirm that all required Pokedexes are marked as complete.
- Then go to the Mystery Gift section from the main menu (via the list icon).
- Redeem your Shiny Volcanion.
If you’ve already completed these Pokedexes earlier, you don’t need to do anything but claim the reward.
Keep in mind, your Pokemon HOME account must be linked to a Nintendo Account and each Mystery Gift reward can only be claimed once per account.
