Get Arceus and Darkrai in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond
Pokemon come in all shapes and sizes, all power levels. From the humble Magikarp all the way to Mythical Pokemon of near-godlike power. Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is no different in this regard, as you will be able to get the fabled Arceus and Darkrai. Getting both of these Pokemon wasn’t possible when Pokemon BDSP was first released. However, the option to get Arceus and Darkrai in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is now available, and we will explain what you need to do for both of them in this guide.
How to Get Arceus in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl
To be able to get Arceus in Pokemon BDSP, you will first need to have a save file on your Nintendo Switch that has all the main missions completed in the Pokemon Legends: Arceus game. Besides this, there is another requirement – you will need to have obtained the National Pokedex and entered the Hall of Fame in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl. Once you have fulfilled all of these prerequisites, go to your room in BDSP. There, you will find the Azure Flute item. Next, go to the top of Mount Coronet, where Arceus itself will appear at Spear Pillar.
How to Get Darkrai in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl
The method of getting Darkrai is pretty different. What you need to do is to obtain the Member Card item. You can only get this by using the Mystery Gift feature. This item will be available this way from April 1st until May 1st, 2022. Like with Arceus, you will also need to have gotten the National Pokedex and entered the Hall of Fame in BDSP. Once you have done all of this, travel to Newmoon Island. Darkrai will be waiting for you there, so get prepared for a battle.
