How to get GMax Melmetal with Pokemon GO and Pokemon HOME integration?

The Pokemon Company recently made a number of announcements surrounding the Pokemon Sword and Shield. While there are plenty of important updates, the company also revealed that Pokemon GO will soon share connectivity with Pokemon Home. With the Pokemon GO integration available in the game, players will be able to get their hands on Gigantamax Melmetal via Pokemon HOME.

There have been several rumours around the Gigantamax version of the Mythical Pokemon ever since Pokemon Sword and Shield first came out; however, it is yet to arrive in the game. Interestingly, a new Mystery Gift will soon be arriving in Pokemon HOME which will allow fans to get the Gigantamax Melmetal.

However, it is worth mentioning that the GMax Melmetal has not been added to the game just yet. It is likely that the Pokemon creature will be finally introduced once the Pokemon GO and Pokemon HOME integration is available. With the service going live, Pokemon fans will finally get to transfer a range of Pokemon creatures between Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! using cloud storage. The compatible Pokemons can then be transferred to Sword and Shield.
