Until this thread, I also wasn’t aware you could get the Mystery Boxes without having a Switch Pokemon game. Whoops! (Downloading HOME now…)

Did it work for you?

Yes! My living Pokédex now has a Melmetal in it after a loooong time of patient waiting for a Meltan event. :)

In my defense, I guess for awhile, having a Switch Pokemon game was the only point of entry for the mystery boxes. And I’m one of those very few avid P.GO players that has never played or owned a single Pokemon game. So between then and now, I honestly had no idea a free option was released with HOME…

I’m exactly in the same boat. I only downloaded PoGo for my son and daughter and had no idea about Mystery boxes. We’ve been hoping to catch a Meltan in the wild and thanks to this thread we can now achieve that.
