Shiny Pokemon in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Like in all Pokemon titles, shiny versions of Pokemon are basically the same as the regular version, but with a different look and different color combinations. Many Pokemon players love to nab themselves shinies in order to have their Pokemon stand out from the crowd. Lucky Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl players have figured out how to get the shiny versions of the three starters: Chimchar, Piplup, and Turtwig.

Regardless of which starter players choose in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, any of them can turn out to be shiny. All players have to do is be ready to reset the game many, many times.

How to Get Shiny Pokemon in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl players will want to start out by changing a few settings in their game. First, players should make sure to turn off autosave. This will be incredibly important for getting the rare spawn to show up. Next, players will want to turn Text Speed to “Fast” since there is a cutscene that they will have to watch several times. After that, turn battle effects off. Once players have their shinies in hand, they can turn battle effects and autosave back on if they wish, but they will want to make sure to keep these off while trying to nab the starter in the beginning.

Once players have Barry following them, they will want to manually save the game in this location:

Next, players just have to head toward Lake Verity. A cutscene will play, and then players will get to choose their starters. Wait until the first battle, see if the Pokemon Shining Pearl or Brilliant Diamond starter is shiny, then soft reset the game if the starters are not shiny. They will not display as shiny in the briefcase; players will need to wait until after the Starly attack and battle has commenced. In order to sot reset, head to the Home menu, close the game, then open it again. The odds of getting a shiny starter are about 1 in 4100, so players will need to be ready to hunker down and soft reset the game many times before getting the starter they wanted.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl are available for Nintendo Switch.
