How to get Shiny Meltan

The easiest way to get the Shiny Meltan is through a mystery box. Just follow these steps to get your own Mystery Box.

Create a Pokemon Home account
Link your Pokemon Home account to your Pokemon GO account from the settings in Pokemon GO
Send a Pokemon from your Pokemon GO collection to Pokemon Home
And that’s it! You will get a Mystery Box as a reward.

After getting a Mystery Box use it to activate Meltan spawns. But keep in mind that you can only use Mystery Box once in 3 days for only 1 hour.

How to get Platinum Medals

This is an event where there are boosted Pikachu spawns so try to catch 1000 Pikachu during this event to earn the Pikachu fan medal. Transfers also count as catches so you can ask a friend to transfer you some.

Another medal that is easy to collect is the Youngster medal. For that, you need to catch 1000 tiny Rattatas. Basically, only Rattatas that weigh less than 1.4 kg count as tiny Rattata so catch as many as you can. Also, transferring will be also counted towards the total count.

Next as Magikarp spawns have also been boosted you can target the Fisher medal and catch 1000 big Magikarp. A big Magikarp weighs more than 13.13 kg, so look out for their weight.

We also have the Rising Star medal for which you have to defeat 150 pokemon in raid battles. You should aim to complete this medal as this event has a lot of raid events.
