Things I Wish I Knew Earlier In Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl (Tips & Tricks)

[@HawkeBM]

I like to add something that I feel many trainers in BDSP do not know about. A mechanic from Sword and Shield has been brought to the remakes: the ability for parent Pokemon to also learn egg moves. You need two of the same Pokemon [Shinx and Shinx for example], a parent Pokemon with the egg moves you want, and a parent Pokemon with empty move slots [visit the Move Deleter to make room]. After about a minute of running around, both parents will have the same egg moves. This method is for those that either caught/bred for a shiny, but want egg moves for it, or giving egg moves to Pokemon you've grown attached to while playing the main game.

[@Smfsableye]

They’ve really improved QoL over time for the competitive side of Pokémon. Though if you’re looking to get together a team for when HOME compatibility is added, Poké Pelago from Sun and Moon takes out virtually all the work.

[@PlzDontSub]

Partnered with the grand underground it’s def possible to get egg moves a lot easier. I caught a budew with seed bomb, evolved to rosella, bred with my torterra, then raised the new turtwig to evolve to torterra, and used that one to go into the daycare with mine and taught my starter seed bomb!

For the roaming legendaries, I recommend Murkrow for the main game and Umbreon for the post game. They both have mean look. The first roaming legendary can only use psychic movies, so Murkrow is invincible. The second has non-psychic moves, so you’ll need the bulk Umbreon provides.

[@devv197]

This is my first game so people might already know this but if you don’t want to choose the fire type starter you can get a Houndoom pretty early on in the Underground. It’s a Dark/ Fire type and once get Fire Fang or Flamethrower you can run through fights pretty easy.

[@saiyan_princestudios9790]

It’s pretty much your only choice besides ponyta. I got lucky and got a Magby in the underground that also had the flame body skill for faster egg hatching. This is why most people choose infernape. Even the elite 4 fire guy doesn’t have fire Pokémon first time lol

Something important to note: the Masuda method requires a pokemon from a different LANGUAGE, not location. So, for example.

minor point, but the trophy garden pokémon don't accumulate infinitely. each day you can get a pokémon species "added" to the garden by the butler. the garden can contain two "added" species at a time. if you get him to add a new species, it'll replace the older of the two "added" species already in the garden

[@kobe7401]

Yes and when they add in the species or whatever, the one you dont know about will be the one from yesterday if im not mistaken

[@loulou3676]

5:35 What matters for Masuda Method is not actually the country you are located in but the language you are playing the game in. Eg if two Americans, one playing in English and one playing in Spanish, trade Pokemon they can still Masuda Method that way. However if one American and one British person, both playing in English, trade Pokemon the Masuda Method will not work as both of their Pokemon are "English". You can tell if the Pokemon is eligible because there will be a little box on the info screen listing which language the Pokemon came from.

[@chrisweiand6357]

Another great tip (for legendary hunting) if you don't have a wobbuffet yet, have any dark type pokemon that has the move mean look. It acts the same as shadow tag, but does cost a round. PS. Make sure your pokemon is at a decent level as well when you go to fight the legendary pokemon or it will be useless.

[@TheSpencermacdougall]

And the pokemon has to be faster, so the zubat line is recommended for this. (Also, only really useful for wandering legendarys, like mesprit,not legendarys like dialga.

[@SillyLilNinja]

Another mechanic that some people don't know about is synchronize and natures. Synchronize makes wild pokemon have the same nature as your pokemon if it starts the battle which is helpful to getting those adamant, modest, jolly, and timid natures on the right pokemon.

[@joshernsteen2066]

Correction to the previous statement is that synchronoisee only has a 50% chance for the pokemon to have the nature of the pokemon having tbe exact same nature of the pokemon being captured.

[@joshernsteen2066]

Pomemon natures have always mattered in the pokemon games. Even in the original pokemon games there is pokemon nature's incorporated inside of them. It is just not shown straight to your face.

[@joshernsteen2066]

Heart Gold and Soul Silver Shadow Tag works based on the speed stat of the pokemon. Wobbufeet needs to higher speed than the legendaries to make them unable to run away, that was at least how in worked in those games intentionally on purpose. The only other way, I believe, to make them not run away is to have a Spinerak or Ariados use spiderweb on them with higher speed, but I believe that you cannot switch the pokemon out, I think, or otherwise the effect will wear off, I am not 100% sure of this though. Using Mean Look on Golbat or Crobat definitely wears off if you switch it out after the attack gets used. The roaming legendary was definitely running away from me then after I switched out the Pokémon.

[@SillyLilNinja]

@@joshernsteen2066 In previous gens, yes. But in Gen 8, including BDSP, it was changed to 100%.

[@drago89uk]

I would like to add that when it comes to EV training that if you have been battling pokemon and have EV in a stat that you dont want, you can feed the pokemon certain berries that can reduce the EV of specific stats, this is extremely useful if you are wanting to max out specific stats such as Sp Atk and Speed etc

[@supersonic9495]

You can farm the item leftovers by having a Pokémon with the move thief or covet to steal it from Munchlax in the Grand Underground.

[@FabioCapela]

I'm not sure about BDSP, but in SWSH you could just have multiple profiles, each playing the game in a different language, and get your "foreign" pokemon for Masuda Method breeding that way. Of course to bring those pokemon back to your main save you will need either a second Switch (and a second game) or to wait for Home to add BDSP compatibility next year.

[@esracaglayan5495]

Didn't seem like you were doing it in the video so here's another tip that can be easy to miss. When you're selecting the number of things you want to buy/use/sell/etc. instead of pressing up, you can press right or left to go up or down 10. So if you want 100 of something just press right 10 times instead of holding up for a longer period of time...or worse, TAPPING up 100 times. And pressing left acts the same as pressing down, just by 10. So if you want to buy 20 of something and you accidentally tap right 3 times you can tap left once to get to 20. One thing though since the counter starts at 1 instead of 0, when you press right it'll go to 11, not 10. Just press down once to get to 10 or just don't worry about it.

Also: The ability Pickup has a chance for the Pokémon to be holding an item after a battle, and it can pick up (11:00) Bottle Caps, Dusk/Shiny/Dawn Stones, Leftovers, Destiny Knot, Nuggets, Potions/Elixirs/Repels, etc. There are different level ranges where the chance for a specific item increases the higher the Pokémon’s level is. It’s pretty common on Pachirisu, which are pretty easy to catch! :)

Pro tip get the answers wrong on purpose in the gym with the questions. You want to fight the trainer with the drifbloom. Most of the post game is locked behind the National dex not beating the elite 4. One of the trainers has that ghost Pokémon which is probably the most missed Pokémon in game. There’s only one other one and that’s by the windmill only on fridays. So if you dont fight this trainer you will have to wait till a Friday to get your Pokedex full/seen and that’s way too long for most people online apparently.

[@MsDaDioR]

or if you answer correctly like i did and the only way to get drifbloom is by waiting till friday,you can always change the date and time on ur switch to make the game think that its friday!

[@MonochromaticPrism]

"If you are planning on buying those vitamins for your EV's", as he shows an inventory full of Eevees. Nice bit of extra punnery there.

[@GamingStar1995]

The biggest tip I can provide is that "You do not need a Pokemon to match the typing of it's moves, just to use that move". For example, Pikachu can use Surf and Dig Drapion, Luxray, and Gliscor can learn fire and thunder fang. Medicham and Elekid can learn fire/ice/thunder punch There are limited fire types that are good in game, (even with houndoom). Finding Pokemon that can use counter type moves are very essential. Even the electric Gym leader has a Raichu later on(rematch) that knows surf. It's a surprising element when using type advantage Pokemon.

[@jormungand72]

I see so many people incorrectly state what the masuda method is/how its performed. its not about region. its not about what region or language your game is. its about what language the two pokemon being bred are. if my game is English from America and I try to breed one of my pokemon with an English pokemon from England, thats not masuda method. it doesnt matter what language your game is. it doesnt matter what region the pokemon is from. what matters is that the two pokemon being bred are from different languages. I can set my game to Japanese (which I do) and all my pokemon will be Japanese language and will masuda method with English language pokemon. If my game is set to English I can masuda method using a Spanish with a Chinese pokemon. Even if I, on my American system in the American region; were the one who set two different games languages to Spanish and Japanese to get these pokemon to breed together. TLDR; region means nothing for masuda method. your games language means nothing. all that matters is the two pokemon being bred together having different languages to each other. really not that hard to explain but I see everyone constantly explaining it as "your games region with a pokemon from a different region". Region is a different variable that has nothing to do with masuda method, even though its also tracked in the pokemons data, its a hidden variable unlike language which is independent of region. Region is what your console is set to. Language is what your game is set to. (Japanese carts for pre-3ds, language selected at game start for 3ds, and console language [not region] for switch) I have Japanese switch games and my system language set to Japanese, but my console region is set to US. My pokemon are Japanese language and can masuda with English language pokemon, even if I caught those English language pokemon on my own game by restarting the game with my system language set to English, even though its from a Japanese printed cart.

Which reminds me when will there be a news on the fourth update patch for both Pokemon Brillant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl games so we can finally used the Wonder Trade and Global Trade Station (GTS). I know there's Link Trade but Wonder Trade is the most important part of the games and makes it a lot easier, because in Link Trade you can trade your Pokemon with another which is good but the problem is the trainer decision takes along time to decided or just finish Link Trade without trying. That's why I prefer Wonder Trade because it's random and automatical trade without having to wait around. In Global Trade you can trade your Pokemon for another Pokemon by placng the name and trainer who seen that name will trade his/her Pokemon like magic. I've been using these opinion when I first played Pokemon X and Pokemon Y Games since them with the other POkemon games before the start of Nintendo Switch of Pokemon Let's Go Pikach/ Let's Go Eevee. I don't know why they're not added to the games before released back in November but I'm guess that with Pokemon Legend Arceus release that they wanted wait a bit longer before it's finally updated but I'm hoping it'll happen at the start of February because I'm getting fed up of waiting and because be worth it🤞.

Tip I came across if you can't get a Pokemon with Shadow Tag. Murkrow/Honchkrow naturally learns Mean Look which also works to stop Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf from fleeing in battle. Added bonus that Murkrow/Honchkrow are dark types and so are immune to these legendries only attack moves which are psychic. Keep in mind that for Mean Look to maintain its effect you can't switch out the Pokemon that used it to another one. Extra tip : Gallade makes a great Pokemon for catching Pokes in general. It can learn False Swipe, Swords Dance and Thunder Wave. Only issue is Ghost types can be impossible to catch with False Swipe tho.. In other games there are various shenanigan's you can do to get around this but not sure they are present in this game. Good luck!

Since murkrow is diamond only i used Bronzong with Block. It’s 4x resistance is almost as good as immunity

[@Chimichinking]

You can also use absol for false swipe as you can get absol before National dex. Although I don’t know if it can learn a move like mean look

[@samgardner4667]

I wish I knew that you could get Houndoom very early from the underground. I like Chimchar/Monferno/Infernape but I probably like Turtwig’s line more. There’s just no fire types in the game. I was wondering what that meant when the camera panned to me before a fight. Now I know.

[@robbgamble4149]

You can get Magby super early in underground as well. Also Ponyta in the small area of 211. Before you fight the grass qym.

[@MrCokewithice]

The jirachi and mew :O thats so pog I have had both saves and didnt know I could just get those 2 awesome pokemon

[@garydezern9391]

You forgot that there are berries to reduce ev's as well.

[@IDontWannaHandleYT]

That first tip alone about the honey tree map is worth the sub

[@Fenrir_6.6.6]

You can check IVs and EVs anytime with "X" in the stats screen. It won't give you the exact numbers but if you know what your looking for you can tell what the IVs are from the beginning

[@lawowiin]

You can click the right stick to your poketech screen when it is in the corner of your screen

[@noonenowhere4494]

7:35 there's actually a secret method of getting the ds sounds, and you can do it super easy Just don't install the day one patch

[@itzzayo5515]

7:20... Hold up, wait a minute... So they actually added the original music from 2007 and you can switch to it? I'm holding onto this game forever 😭😭😭

[@Shannessa]

1:34 thought that was a legendary/mythical thing only, cause I got that animation when I caught all the lake trio

[@Raisei-with-an-ak47]

Here is something to remember I learnt this the hard way REMEMBER TO SAVE YOUR GAME

[@pokeguitaristjake6300]

I had no idea the Manaphy Egg was a permanent event now when connecting online that makes me happy. I got my Manaphy Egg on my 2nd Switch I used for Streaming but lost it when I moved out of my mom's (probably misplaced with my favorite beanie and Switch Pro Gamecube style controller) and then I also lost 30 something Poke Radar Shinies and one of my Shiny Deoxys from Pokemon GO :( Luckily I Traded over my Shiny Darkrai, but yeah I lost a Shiny Bidoof and Shiny Marill from Safari Weeks from different years. So I took a dip on some full odds Shinies as well. One cool tip coming from myself is I had 99,999 Points in Pokemon Home and dedicated it all to Shining Pearl, which I got 4,999 BP from that. Best way to farm BP in that game because Battle Tower is kinda free in the newer games but harder in BDSP :)

[@Imsorrymamajama]

Really awesome video. Kinda wish there were moments with screenshot information so i could save it more easily but thank you for all the info!

[@yourtsar824]

While it is a 1 in 20 k chance having the pokerus REALLY helps with EV training by doubling the EVs you get from battle, I was lucky enough to get it without grinding and early on in my playthrough.

[@silg7262]

I just got it! I'm a new player and so excited. I've never even seen a shiny but I have the pokerus

[@edwardb.530]

Just got pokerus today while trying to hunt for shiny buneary

[@LancerloverLL]

I got that perfect IV animation on my first battle against the wild Starly, where I didn't have any Pokeballs yet.

[@keshang_laow8325]

I automatically unlocked it when I got my 3rd badge and there was no mystery gift at all.

[@beanceline]

i was disappointed to realize that the daycare doesnt level up your pokemon anymore

14:10 torterra is just trying his best

[@hunterinabushd9465]

i wont tolerate the torterra slander :(

[@gabrielletorres9885]

@@hunterinabushd9465 dont worry! turtwig is my favorite sinnoh starter ❤️

[@FrozzenK]

From what I understand, these remake games don't really have an online matchmaking scene with rankings and whatnot like say, Sword and Shield. So the whole IV and EV thing becomes a bit useless unless I'm missing something.

[@boi_alien]

Amazing tips! ❤

[@harmidis]

Good to find you! Thanks, great job!

[@ericlanda3727]

I’d use a meowth and spammed Payday until the Pokémon fainted or I won. The amulet coin helped in those days.

[@Fezzman]

What you called affinity in the video is actually called STAB (Same Type Attack Boost)

[@UmbreonxUmbreon]

Right that’s basic battle knowledge

[@PotterSauce]

Great video with lots of good tips, also I love your accent!

[@RedxDJCashpal]

A reason in favor of ev training manually is that you have a chance of encountering the pokerus. If you do, your Pokemon gains EV's twice as fast.

[@jazioxmugen]

THE GRAND UNDERGROUND IS AMAZING IN THIS VERSION! SUPER CLUTCH!!!
