How to Get Spiritomb (EARLY) in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond

[@mshadow5513]

The honest reaction was so funny since he didn't expect that shiny. Congrats Austin

[@caiusdrakegaming8087]

That Spiritomb was basically saying 'Nope, no runaway method for you Austin!'. I'd honestly have the same reaction.

[@DestroyerOfChaos]

What the point of shiny hunting anymore. Next year you be able to transfer shiny pokemon to bdsp. And with getting 20+ shinys every community day. I know on in my po-home account I have at least 1 shiny of each pokemon.

[@Aus10Ham]

@@DestroyerOfChaos then don’t shiny hunt?

[@DestroyerOfChaos]

@@Aus10Ham yeah I don't shiny hunt, because I have a shiny verison of every pokemon already. It's nice, not having to worry about it and put in that extra time and effort.

[@Reliztik82]

@@Aus10Ham what he’s saying is what is the point if they are all handed to you anyways. Especially since the event Pokémon they usually give you are high IVS and hidden abilities as well. You argument is valid, but he’s just stating the facts. It kinda sucks that shiny Pokémon aren’t as impressive anymore.

[@Aus10Ham]

@@Reliztik82 unfortunately shinies have been in the games for decades now, personally I decided to leave my shinies in the bank and not transfer them to make for more shiny grinds in the game currently out

THE LUCK HE HAS wow

[@the_godbodor7026]

That timing with the Shiny Spiritomb was perfect. Him saying, “Yes, you can shiny hunt it.” As he succeeds in the hunt immediately.

[@TSA_57]

I just got Spiritomb myself before the 3rd badge. And the impression I got is: every route has their fixed NPC which shows up nearly every time, but every route also has a small chance of spawning literally anyone else. The big symmetrical area below Oreburgh has the NPC spawns close to entrances, so it's great for grinding, I found like 20 NPCs around there, but it's not otherwise special. I could find upwards to 10 different NPCs on a less efficient grinding spot that's right below where Spiritomb is. So what I would recommend you do: - Keep track of everyone you meet on a notepad. You won't remember if an NPC is new or not otherwise. - Patrol through the entire underground that you can explore talking to everyone you see, finding as many easy fixed NPCs as possible. (optional) - Go below Oreburgh where the big grassy area is, and grind for NPCs there, find NPC, go through door, go back in route, repeat until you've met 32. This will likely take a few hours so put on your favorite podcast. - Go fight Spiritomb and hopefully you'll get a Shiny for your effort.

[@Mimikinsxo]

Thank you so much I'm going to try this. I was convinced certain npcs were on fixed routes this comment has given me hope. Edit: Update - I got Spiritomb with 3 badges, grinding under Oreburgh helped a lot, thanks again.

[@chrisweskamp9466]

might be a silly question, but the count doesnt reset if i save the game and leave does it?

[@TSA_57]

@@chrisweskamp9466 No, Pokemon games generally don't have mechanics that reset when you save and quit. Saving the game saves basically everything. The Spiritomb mechanic in particular is designed to be worked on slowly throughout the game. It makes no sense for the count to reset when quitting the game.

[@brandbennett1781]

thanks for such an in depth comment, i definitely want to play through the game with a shiny spiritomb for sure, regardless of how long it will take :/ good luck on your shiny quests

If I remember correctly, there is an odd keystone in your hometown. If you surf across the tiny pond at the bottom of the map, and try to interact with one of the trees, there was a hidden odd keystone item in the old games.

[@zac-wd5vw]

Correct

[@jonathangoodwin5609]

Though since you need surf, that one would take longer to get. So if you want it earlier, you would be better off getting it somewhere else.

Austin John: For your sake, I want to see if we can run from it to save time. Spiritomb: We do a little trolling

[@adolfosaldivar9601]

I noticed this too but didnt think much of it I assumed interacting people in the underground was like mining with them or walking by them or something. This is amazing how quickly you figured this out.

[@udawg34]

Huge congrats on the shiny spiritomb, it looks so good in 3D! This was actually my last shiny hunt in platinum I did before BDSP dropped, and it shined underodds in 5572 on the Thursday morning before launch! Such an incredible shiny, but I don't think I'll be rehunting it in BDSP. With the massive black screen each reset I'll be saving the reset hunts for all the legends for sure.

The one shot with a Premier Ball was just icing on the cake. Talk about lucky!

[@shad0w7x56]

One method for searching for npc’s: When your in an area with a common npc, keep loading that area till you find at least 2 or 3 different npc’s(they can be npc’s you’ve seen before)then you go to the next area, rinse and repeat. That’s basically how i found them all, you also should use a map for the underground that tells you where each common npc is so you know which is common and which is different/rare. Good luck to anyone searching 👍🏾 Edit: also remember to write the npc names down on a list, in case you forget, i write 31 of them down and checked the hallow tower to find that I forgot about an npc i found and the tower made a spirit tomb.

I can also say for sure that ive found npcs at places not listed here (for instance i found one named harper in the area listed for teena on the map shown at 5:02). Definitely a grind but seems possible with only two badges. Hopefully the grind of the shiny hunt wont be too painful

Fortunately, this Pokémon can breed, and many people already caught it in sword and shield. It's likely that most people who get it won't be using the method from this game.

[@Weav576]

Can confirm that it does count the npcs that you talk to prior to putting in the odd keystone. Because when I first began the game i was talking to as many NPCs as i saw and as soon as i I put in the keystone, it said the third statement, "Is that crying coming from inside the tower" so it did count the npcs i spoke to prior to putting in the keystone because otherwise it would have said the 1st statement. Anyway now im in postgame and its at the 2nd to last statement, " There is some sort of presence... it appears ready to emerge!" Didnt think it was going to take this long but i guess it doesnt count the same ones that happen to spawn in a different area if you already talked to that npc but in post game you see more especially in the battle resort area. I think thats why many ppl say post game because by then it likely when most get it. It would be doable at the 2nd gym but it would take a lot of time as Austin John says. Better off to put the keystone in and everytime you are underground speak to any npc you see but no need to rush to look for all 32 if your still in the pre game as it would take alot of time. By the time you get to post game and speak to as many as you see throughout your adventure, then you should be close to getting it to spawn. Cynthia has a spirtomb so no need to worry about dex purposes already completed the sinnoh dex, right after i beat the league and got my national
