Top 10 RAREST/HARDEST Pokémon To Catch In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

[@jaro1436]

You can get a Gallade with mean look, false swipes and hypnosis if you breed a Ralts with a male Gastly which has mean look. This way pokemon can't escape, you can bring them down to 1 HP and bring them to sleep. This is the best setup to catch any pokemon!

[@misogi9727]

thank you so much

[@danielkaminski00]

You can catch a ralts in the grand underground that already knows mean look as well!

[@lordvanilla8075]

Also if you're looking for a specific nature synchronize will make the wild Pokemon's nature the same as your Pokemon so breeding like 20 rults with different natures with the synchronizability is your best bet.

[@saiyan_princestudios9790]

@@Ashguin1 they aren’t that hard. You should be 10-20 levels higher than them, except Cynthia, unless you kept changing your team up frequently. Cynthia should be the same level as you or close to it. No grinding needed, although many people skip a lot of optional areas and the underground exp isn’t bad, even if it’s just catching a few. Cynthia is really the only challenge in this game. She’s great, but if you allow yourself to use items like max potion or revive even she becomes a joke in the end.

[@Aria_Mora]

While searching for my feebas I ran into a shiny gyarados and caught it. Ended up finding feebas right after. But the trick for the poffins is mix chesto, razz, and wiki (or kelpsy) in the amity Park. You'll get 3 level 30+ dry poffins. Do that and you'll get milotic a lot faster.

I dont think female combee even deserves to be on this list, you slather honey on all the trees available, wait for 6 hours and check every tree, its encounter rate is low but you will definitely find a combee in one or two attempts of slathering honey. You should save before checking any honey tree, if its a female combee great, if its male, you can soft reset and check the tree again, resetting keeps the pokemon the same but has a chance to change the gender for some reason. So you will definitely get a female combee in at max a day

[@niar1726]

Yeah, if we're speaking about annoying honey tree, there's munchlax with an 1% encounter rate on 4 random tree, randomized by save. And there's still the underground for that

you fail to remember beldum can be found in the grand underground in (i think) 3 types of caves, so that noticably reduces how rare it actually is to encounter it in the first place. but, its catch rate is still as low as ever so it's still pretty hard to catch. like i for one spent more time trying to catch a singular beldum (which, for the record, i failed to catch because the beldum used struggled and killed itself), than finding it in the first place. and i found many more afterwards. + combee. you can find combee in the grand underground...

Feebas is really hard to get but they did make it but easier in this game. Feebas only spawns in the lower half of the lake - so even if you decide you want to just fish until you get one, you don't have to search the entire lake

Milotic should either be #10 or not on the list. There’s a tool you can use that shows you the exact spot where to fish to find feebas and all you have to do is make one batch of dry poffins to evolve it. It’s not really difficult at all.

Pro tip for female Combee. Max out your statues as best you can and when you look for it, when it spawns try and look for the red spot on the bottom comb. It's a gender didfthe males don't have and you can see it before you battle it. Saves you so much time.
