Summary
Pokemon Homehas launched its version 3.3.0 update following server maintenance and introduced a medal trading feature exclusively for the mobile version. After updatingPokemon Home, trainers on supported iOS and Android devices can now collect and trade medals featuring Starter Pokemon trios of each mainline region, including Kanto, Sinnoh, and Paldea.
Pokemon Home version 3.3.0 arrived two months after the app introduced a way for trainers toobtain Shiny Mythical Pokemon after completing regional Pokedexes. After completing the Kanto Pokedex ofPokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee, users were given a Shiny Meltan that could be sent to otherPokemongames. A complete Galar Pokedex fromPokemon Sword and Shieldand its expansions,The Isle of ArmorandThe Crown Tundra, will grant players a Shiny Keldeo. Since Keldeo is usually Shiny-locked, Pokemon Home is the only legitimate way to obtain a Shiny variant of the Colt Pokemon.
Even though Pokemon Home is known for allowing players totrade critters between games likePokemon Scarlet and VioletandPokemon Legends: Arceus,a new update offers something else for fans to trade.Pokemon Homeversion 3.3.0 launched a medal feature exclusive to the mobile version of the app. These medals feature the Starter Pokemon trios of each mainlinePokemongame released so far, meaning there are currently nine unique medals for players to collect.Pokemon Home’s 3.3.0 update also fixed some outstanding issues.
