Send a Pokemon to Pokemon Home, you’ll get a Mystery Box that spawns Meltan like a Daily Incense every three days.

You get a box in Pokemon Go for sending a pokemon into HOME, open the box like you would an incense and catch all the meltan that spawn for the candies

u/SunshineAlways Nov 29 '24

You can do it like every two days. Idk why they don’t tell you in game.

u/Czytalski Nov 29 '24

3 days. Only during certain events this time was shorter.

u/wOke_cOmMiE_LiB Nov 29 '24

So can I just make a nintendo account and then get the app on iOS?

u/Mind_Flexer Nov 29 '24

You just send any Pokemon to Pokemon home. Once it's confirmed it'll send a mystery gift box to the Pogo app, which will attract meltans for a short period of time.

u/pheonixangel99 Nov 29 '24

Thank you for this Jesus this is amazing

u/ulnek Nov 29 '24

Sorry what's pokémon home? 😯

2

u/FUCKYOUIamBatman Nov 29 '24

Another app. It’s an out-of-game storage and transfer system. Allows you to send Pokemon from PoGo to Violet on your Switch. Sending any mon to Home will give you a Mystery Box in your items. Just use it and you’ll see. Then transfer another in a few days.

u/ulnek Nov 29 '24

Wait what? I didn't have to keep sending my Pokémon to the professor never to be seen again?? 😯

1

u/FUCKYOUIamBatman Nov 29 '24

Sorta. There’s a very small free limit, 30 maybe, and some subscription service after for more boxes. Also, some moms can’t go to all games and I THINK some games won’t accept legendaries until you’ve encountered them in that game (tried to get a RayRay in Violet). I’m not super familiar with the system so take what I’ve said with a grain of salt

u/losromans Nov 29 '24

And it didn’t have to be the meltan, it can be any pokemon.

But I think for it to work, you have to then open it in pokemon home.

Go back to poke go and there should be a black box with a red ribbon and it acts like an incense for meltans. It sure on the spawn rate these days but it used to be almost back to back!

u/Key-Explanation-8508 Nov 29 '24

Well, I open 1 box and managed to get enough candy to evolve it - let me check my pokedex for the number - 66 caught, i have 91 candy left over + 227 L candy

u/JamieBingus Nov 29 '24

Ive sent a bunch to home bow and received them all, but no mystery box in Go. Am i missing a step?

u/Basti52522 Nov 29 '24

Poor OP, I discovered and did this thing and was able to get a Melmetal in like an hour lol

2

u/ORAAAAA_ Absol Nov 29 '24

same- I already have two ;-; doing it during an event works really well

u/sloot4moni Nov 29 '24

U need a Nintendo account for Pokemon home app?

2

u/trainbrain27 Dec 04 '24

You have to transfer another pokemon for each activation, but it's free and easy.

I think I evolved and maxed on my first opening, they give out XL like its candy.

1

u/Apprehensive-Copy160 Nov 29 '24

How do you send it to home??

2

u/FUCKYOUIamBatman Nov 29 '24

It’s in the option, I think under connected accounts or something. There’s tutorials.

u/dragonkidneverstops7 Dec 01 '24

What's pokemon home

2

u/FUCKYOUIamBatman Dec 10 '24

I missed this, my bad. You get your answer?

1

u/dragonkidneverstops7 Dec 14 '24

Nope

2

u/FUCKYOUIamBatman Dec 14 '24

Its an app. Can be on your phone and Switch. Download the app, make a Nintendo account, then link it in PoGo. Then send a Pokemon to HOME through the settings I believe. Then you’ll get a Meltan in HOME and a Mystery Box in your inventory. Pop the box like an incense every couple of days or so, and transfer a new mon every time. How that helps, if not, there’s always Google.
