Giratina is one of the toughest Pokémon players can face, but they’re also one of the more elusive ones to capture. If you’re looking for a way to get Giratina in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, we’ve got a quick guide to help you figure things out.
Getting Giratina in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl
Giratina, a part of the Creation Trio, has been one of the most sought-after Pokémon since the OG Diamond and Pearl games. It’s no different in Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl. As you head near the endgame, you will be in a better position to capture this incredible Legendary Pokémon. But first: you will want to have the Pokedex. Without this ever-handy tool, you won’t be able to track Giratina down in the first place. You also must defeat the Elite Four. Once you nail these two things down, you are that much closer to getting Giratina.
Once you have defeated the Elite Four, the Spring Path will open up. You will find this around the forset side of Route 214. Through the Spring Path, you’ll reach Spendoff Spring. There’s a climbable wall that you can scale with Rock Climb, and when you climb it, you will need to enter Turnback Cave.
There’s no way to guide you from here as in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, the layout of the cave where Giratina is found is always randomly generated. So, it’s up in the air as to which layout you’ll see.
Even so, you will be able to get to Giratina just past the third pillar. Once there, the encounter will go as per usual with Pokémon.
