During the Pokémon HOME event, players can encounter Shiny Meltan, grab some event-exclusive in-game clothing, and earn Pidgeot Mega Energy with event Timed Research. 

Just like with most events, certain species of Pokémon will be spawning more frequently in the wild, while the Raid and Egg pools also have a few new additions for the duration of the HOME celebration. If you are lucky, you might run into a Shiny Meltan or Slowpoke while running around. 

If you want to make sure to get the most out of the Pokémon HOME event, here are all of the increased spawns, encounters, and event raids, and event effects.
