There are a ton of optional areas and secrets to be found when adventuring through the region of Sinnoh in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. One of these is the Pokemon Mansion. This glamourous building is easily found and contains a few nice surprises.
While there are some items to collect, the mansion’s biggest selling point is the Trophy Garden. This secluded little area contains a few cool Pokemon to catch, including some rare ones. It’s definitely a good idea to take a quick jaunt over to the Pokemon Mansion at some point during your adventure.
Updated January 24, 2022: For more clarification on how to navigate the Trophy Garden in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, we’ve added a video guide to this article.
Where Is The Pokemon Mansion
The Pokemon Mansion is found at the north end of Route 212, which is just to the south of Hearthome City. There is a large path filled with statues leading up to the mansion itself, and two trainers who are eager for a battle.
If you challenge these trainers to a battle by standing in between them, it will be a double battle with both of them at the same time. You should be able to get a lot of money from these matches too thanks to their trainer class – this can be a good place to earn money with the Amulet Coin.
There are some items to be found outside the mansion too.
- A Great Ball can be found by examining the center bush in the row of bushes to the right of the entrance.
- A Super Potion can be found by examining the third bush in the row of bushes at the top-left of the area.
What Items Can Be Found Inside
The inside of the Pokemon Mansion is quite small, thanks to some maids blocking you from exploring the entire building. Instead, you have three rooms on the left to explore and one office on the right.
- In the first room on the left, you can find a Burn Heal in the trash can.
- In the second room on the left, you can obtain a Soothe Bell from the maid.
- In the third room on the left, you can pick up a Great Ball.
- In the office on the right, you can pick up TM87 which contains the move Swagger.
The door to the back of the mansion leads to the Trophy Garden, which is the main attraction of the area.
How The Trophy Garden Works
The Trophy Garden will initially look like a normal grassy area filled with wild Pokemon. Here are the Pokemon that you can encounter here:
The purpose of the Trophy Garden, however, is truly revealed once you have gotten the National Pokedex upgrade. This is obtained by registering every Pokemon in the Sinnoh Dex as “seen” and then visiting Professor Rowan in Sandgem Town.
From then on, you can talk to Mr. Backlot in his office in the mansion to get him to tell a story about an encounter with a particular Pokemon. This Pokemon will now be a possible encounter in the Trophy Garden!
- This Pokemon is randomized and will change every 24 hours.
- Only the last two Pokemon featured in Mr. Backlot’s stories will be available in the Trophy Garden – if you missed one, you’ll have to wait for Mr. Backlot to tell a story about that Pokemon again.
- It is possible to save before talking to Mr. Backlot and reload if he doesn’t select a Pokemon that you want.
The table below details every possible Pokemon that can appear in the Trophy Garden after one of Mr. Backlot’s stories. They are all encountered at levels 16 – 18 and will be available alongside the normally available Pokemon – there is only a five percent chance that a particular encounter will be the Pokemon from the story.
