Update 2 (Tue 30th Jun, 2020 6:10 BST): The Pokémon HOME service is now back online.

You should now be able to boot up your mobile version of HOME.

and redeem Shiny Zeraora.

You can also claim a Sword and Shield code for Armorite Ore.

Original story (Tue 30th Jun, 2020 01:55 BST): If you're currently trying to claim your Shiny Zeraora on the Nintendo Switch or mobile version of Pokémon HOME and keep getting hit with an error code, you're not alone.

To be eligible for Shiny Zeraora, you had to participate in the most recent Max Raid Battle celebrating the launch of the Isle of Armor DLC in Pokémon Sword and Shield.

One other odd but the necessary requirement was to also move a Pokémon between Sword and Shield and Pokémon HOME while the event was taking place.

Have you had any luck claiming your Shiny Zeraora?

If you can't keep the demand for Zeraora, why did you do it Game Freak????!

I don't even have the non shiny one.

We had to reach over 1 Million defeats for Zeraora!

That’s a lot of people; those who actually participated and those who are just taking advantage of the event?

So many people are going to have Zeraora that it won’t even be a cool or unique Pokémon to have!

And the new raids are crashing the switch games too.

Apparently the zeraora event comes with armorite ore, but rumor is they messed up and it was different a different type of ore that crashes the game instead?

question: do you need the mobile app or can you claim directly from Home on Switch?

also this article forgot to mention is that a certain ore from the tundra pack isnt suppose to be in this somehow it did and its causing sword and shield to crash from den raids cause of that item?

I participated because I really wanted Zeraora but then I thought if we succeed then absolutely everyone will have it so now I don't really care about Shiny Zeraora that much.

Some of the fights with Shiny Zeraora were extremely annoying, broken in fact.

Even 5 Star normal Zeraora was irritating.

I don't think I recall an event where they gave something away to people who didn't participate.

I want my Zeraora!

But eventually, I just want my Pokémon 😄

I thought that the $50 mew from Pokemon Let's go was a very bad move from GF, but they outdid themselves with this $76 Zeraora dlc

Sooooo I couldn’t download the app to transfer the Pokémon to the damn home and now I can’t even get the Pokémon

Ya it wouldnt let me even DL the home app at all during the event so I couldn't do any of that and I did do the raid many time so this is freaking bullsh*t

Just need to borrow a game from somewhere to do my home transfer to get it

@Archius9 how do you have home and not sword and shield

umm it's lame that people hack the game and GF should really find a way to stop that

@graysoncharles well unlike you some trainers have 30 mews from 5 games before sword and shield, and pokeplus was $20 for black friday

@Supadav03 you need the app and you need to move a pokemon from game to home by july 6

@NintendoPok I use Home to store all my Mon from Bank and have been using the GTS to complete my Shiny Living Dex

Okay one question, I know transferring between Sword and Shield is needed, but does transferring from one of the Let's Go games work as well

Or is having the Switch version of the app enough
