With the highly anticipated return of Shiny Meltan in Pokémon GO, trainers worldwide are eager to know the exact steps to obtain the coveted Mystery Box required to unlock this elusive Mythical Pokémon.
The event, active for the next month, offers a limited-time opportunity to catch Shiny Meltan and transfer it to your Nintendo Switch titles, Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!.
Pokémon GO and Nintendo Switch Collaboration: How It Works Developed by Niantic, Pokémon GO has maintained a dynamic connection with the Nintendo Switch through integration with Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
This integration allows players to transfer Pokémon from the mobile game to the Switch titles, adding a new layer of interactivity between the two platforms.
Central to this process is the Mystery Box, an in-game item that triggers Meltan spawns in Pokémon GO when opened.
How to Obtain the Mystery Box in Pokémon GO To get the Mystery Box, players must first establish a link between their Pokémon GO account and their copy of Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Let’s Go, Eevee! on the Nintendo Switch.
Here’s how to connect the two systems: 1.
Launch Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! from the Nintendo Switch HOME Menu. 2.
During gameplay, press the X Button to access the in-game menu, then press the Y Button to open the Options menu. 3.
Select 'Open Pokémon GO Settings.' When prompted, choose “Yes” to allow the game to search for a compatible Pokémon GO account. On your Pokémon GO mobile app: 1.
Tap the Poké Ball icon to access the menu, then navigate to “Settings.” 2.
Scroll down to the “Nintendo Switch” section and select it. 3.
Choose “Connect to Nintendo Switch.” The app will now begin searching for your Nintendo Switch game. 4.
Once the Nintendo Switch detects your Pokémon GO account, confirm the pairing by selecting 'Yes' on the Switch. After successful pairing, you can transfer Pokémon from Pokémon GO to your Nintendo Switch by visiting the GO Park complex in Fuchsia City within the Let’s Go games.
Upon your first transfer, you will automatically receive the Mystery Box in Pokémon GO.
Using the Mystery Box to Spawn Meltan When you open the Mystery Box in Pokémon GO, Meltan will begin to appear in the wild for 30 minutes.
During this window, you can attempt to encounter and catch as many Meltan as possible, including the rare Shiny variant during special events.
After the session ends, Meltan will stop spawning until the Mystery Box is reopened. Recharging the Mystery Box Typically, the Mystery Box can be reopened once every seven days, granted you send another Pokémon from Pokémon GO to Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Let’s Go, Eevee!.
However, during the Shiny Meltan event, the cooldown has been reduced to three days, allowing players more chances to obtain Shiny Meltan throughout the event period. This seamless integration between Pokémon GO and Nintendo Switch titles not only enhances the overall gameplay experience for fans of the Pokémon series, but also continues to celebrate the collaboration between Niantic and Nintendo.
With the event running until the end of the month, trainers are encouraged to take full advantage of the Shiny Meltan opportunity by connecting their accounts and activating the Mystery Box on a regular basis.
