Pokémon HOME
Some maintenance has been announced for Pokémon HOME. On March 6th at 01:30 UTC to 08:00 UTC, the service will be inoperable. During this maintenance, they will fix a bug that if people completed the Pokédex before February 14th and received the glitch Magearna, they will now be eligible for the Original Color Magearna and it'll arrive in their Gift Box after the maintenance. Following that, in a future update, they will fix the problem where the Pokédex will not register as complete even if it is, and thus prevents people from receiving the Original Color Magearna glitch.
