    Since its launch in Gen II, players have been obsessed with capturing shiny versions of their favorite Pokémon. The characters have not only been transformed with a new color palette, but they also have a high collection value. It is back in 2021 "Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl", but it's slightly different. This guide will break down every known Shiny method in the fourth-generation remake and how to maximize the chance of finding Shinies.

    What is Shiny Pokemon?
    Shiny Pokemon is an ultra-rare variant of Pokémon that can lay eggs in the wild. Compared with the original version, they have a completely different color palette, and special battle animations are emitted in each battle, emitting sparks from them. It has become an obsessive hobby for collectors to try to complete the illustrated books of each region with them, because they look unbelievable. Below we will explain the basic Shiny rate and which Shiny method has the best generation rate in BDSP.

    Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Shiny Pokemon rates
    Base rate – 1:4096 (or one out of every 4,096 encouters).
    Grand Underground Lightstone – 3:4096
    Masuda method (Egg hatching) – 1:683
    Masuda method and Shiny Charm – 1:512
    PokeRadar and 40 chain – 1:99

    How to get shiny starter Pokemon in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shiny Pearl
    Players can get the shining Shenao starter in the correct way. Please follow the steps below:

    Start a new game and advance the story a little bit until you leave Futaba Town and head to Highway 201.
    Turn left and head to Lake Verity, try to find Red Gyarados with friend Barry.
    After talking with Professor Rowan and Lucas, you will be attacked by wild Pokémon in the grass. Save your game before interacting with the professor's briefcase.
    Choose the Sinnoh starter you like. It will not appear as Shiny in the briefcase itself, so please wait for the battle sequence to start checking.
    If it is not Shiny, please press the Home button on the Nintendo Switch immediately and close the game. Next, reopen BDSP and load your game. This is called "soft reset".
    After the game loads, select your launcher again and wait for the battle to check if it is shiny. Keep repeating this process until your choice is shown as Shiny.
    You can also find a shiny version of Shenao beginners in the Grand Underground. You need to pass the main game first and unlock the country illustration book. After obtaining the extended Dex, the trio will begin to spawn in Hideaways.

    Shiny Pokemon PokeRadar method
    Without a doubt, the best way to get Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl is to use PokeRadar. This device has the lowest rate.

    To unlock PokeRadar, you must defeat the Elite Four and Cynthia. Then you need to complete your Sinnoh Dex by viewing all 150 Pokemon.
    Go to the town of Sandgem, where Professor Oak will provide you with a country map after confirming that you have seen all the Pokemon. Then Professor Rowan will reward you with PokeRadar.
    Now that you have National Dex and PokeRadar, go to Ramanas Park and Professor Oak will give you the Chain Counter app.
    Now that you have everything, find a piece of grass and use Poke Radar. The four-point grass will start to shake. Walk up to them and randomly generate encounters. If it is the Pokemon you want, grab it. If it is not, then run away and try again until it is the correct "Monday".
    Once you grab the one you want, continue to use PokeRadar on the same grass and grab only the same Pokemon. If you meet a different person, please flee the battle to keep the chain running.
    We also recommend using Super Repels so that regular spawning in the grass will not disturb you. You can check your app on your Poketch to make sure the chain on the specific Pokemon you are looking for is actually going up.
    Eventually, you will see a piece of shimmering grass. This will be a shiny Pokemon encounter! The higher the chain, the higher the chance of producing shiny Pokemon. For example, if you catch 10 Shinx in a row, it will be one of 2521 encounters. If you catch 20, it will become – 1:1820. It can capture up to 40 consecutively, which is an amazing 1:99 ratio.
