The launch of Pokémon Home on Switch and mobile devices got off to a slightly rocky start, with a number of early players reporting issues surrounding 'Original Color' Magearna - a Pokémon that you can receive as a gift in-game.
There has been some confusion on the matter from the start, but users who successfully completed a Living Pokédex inside the app (having one of every single monster sitting in your boxes) should have qualified to receive the gift Pokémon. Many didn't, or received a 'glitched' version of the Pokémon instead, and earlier this month it was announced that the app would undergo maintenance to resolve issues.
The maintenance now appears to be complete, and Serebii reports that the conditions for earning the Mageana gift are now a little more gentle. Instead of requiring a full Living Pokédex, players can now earn Magearna by having a full National Pokédex registered within the app. This means you can trade Pokémon in and out of the app to register them, but don't need to have every single one accessible in living form.
Serebii also notes that the maintenance has "seemingly" fixed missing challenges already redeemed by the player.

I have completed the whole pokedex and still didn't get it after the update...
wow, well at least i got 3 Magearnas back then because it was bugged
They haven’t fixed the unexistent forms for Pikachu and Rockruff.... as well as the Shiny forms of haircut Furfrous not registering.
The normal Furfrous are a pain in the ass too to register in the Dex.
Also I keep having Meowstic bugged as hell.
Can’t believe they didn’t fix these stuff in the update.
I kinda liked that Home rewarded my full living dex. But I'm glad it's more streamlined now
@mariomaster96 @Tulio517 can one of you guys please TOUCH trade melmetan and /or zamazenta to me ?
Pokémon HOME also won’t allow me to trade my Lv. 3 Articuno that I caught legitimately in Let’s GO. Hoping things like this get noticed and patched soon too.
Or for that matter can anyone help me here with a melmetan and zamazenta touch trade?
@BrintaPap One tip I can give you, I'd farm a shiny Geodude on Let's Go.. and put it up for trade on GTS for a Zamazenta or Zacian.
It usually takes a week or two, but I got two Zacian that way.
@fafonio That rockruff form you mean is the Own Tempo Ruckruff and is considered its own form. The event one that evolves into the orange lycanroc
@MegaKBang are you sure? I’ve tried registering it multiple times but it doesn’t mark it as the second form.
If there was a way for me to legitimately register Manaphy I could get this.
But did they fix the trade issues with this and Sw/Sh yet? I honestly really like the surprise/wonder trade features, but I've already been burned once. I don't want to risk my save file on the off chance some malicious hacker sends me a Pikachu with 999 in every stat and breaks the game.
@BrintaPap I could help you out with both if you still need it. Also, could anyone help me with getting a Zeraora? It's the last Pokémon I need for my living dex?
@rbygscrsedppbw oh man thank you!
How do wanna talk? Discord?
@BrintaPap Discord's good, what's your username?
@rbygscrsedppbw Lindox
@BrintaPap I think I need your tag as well to add you
@rbygscrsedppbw Lindox#1137 sorry have not used Discord in a long time.
@BrintaPap okay, I've sent you a friend request
@MegaKBang - You can breed Own Tempo Rockruff though, you just have to have one.
@fafonio - I didn’t know you could register the haircut Furfrous. I thought they reverted to normal when placed in the box.
@GamerFromJump I never said you couldn't. I only said that Own Tempo Rockruff is in the home dex considered as a seperate form for rockruff
@GamerFromJump HA! That’s why I’m complaining that it is a complex method and should be made clear by GF.
Ok, it’s a bit more complicated than just putting them in Bank. First you need a Forfrou... then have Ultra Sun or Moon. Go to the Haircut saloon. Do all the haircuts so they are registered in your Dex of the game. Then go to Bank and instead of just tossing the forfrou in a box, go to “settings”, pokedex and then you’ll get a message that the Pokedex has been updated. Then just connect Bank with Home and it will “transfer” your USM Dex data to home.
That way you’ll have them in your Home National Dex. There’s no way to physically have them in Home though.
If you need help just tag me.
