How to Catch Giratina in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have brought back the beloved legendary Pokémon, Giratina. If you’re eager to add this powerful creature to your collection, we’ve got you covered with a guide on how to catch it.
Find the Griseous Orb
To encounter Giratina, you’ll first need to find the Griseous Orb, an item that plays a vital role in the capture process. The Griseous Orb can be found at the top of Mt. Coronet after obtaining the National Dex. Once you have it, make sure to equip it on Giratina to unlock its true potential.
Head to the Turnback Cave
With the Griseous Orb in hand, make your way to the Turnback Cave, where Giratina awaits. Located on Route 214, this cave is known for its tricky layout, so be prepared for a bit of a challenge.
Navigate the Maze
Once inside the Turnback Cave, you’ll encounter a complex maze. To successfully reach Giratina, follow these steps:
1. Enter the cave and take the first right.
2. Continue moving forward until you reach a fork in the path.
3. Take the right path, then take another right at the next fork.
4. Proceed forward until you reach another fork.
5. This time, take the left path and continue straight ahead until you reach Giratina’s chamber.
Capturing Giratina
Once you’ve reached Giratina’s chamber, it’s time to catch it. Make sure to save your game before the encounter, as Giratina can be notoriously challenging to capture.
1. Start the battle by using status moves to whittle Giratina’s health down.
2. Lower Giratina’s health to a critical level without knocking it out.
3. Use status ailments like sleep or paralysis to increase your chances of success.
4. Start throwing Ultra Balls or Dusk Balls to capture Giratina.
5. Be patient and repeat the process until you successfully catch this elusive Pokémon.
And there you have it! With these steps, you’re on your way to adding Giratina to your Pokémon team in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Good luck, trainer!
