Platinum forms (such as Shaymin’s Sky Forme and Giratina’s Origina Forme) do exist within the game’s data, despite technically being Diamond & Pearl remakes.This is similar to Pokémon Let’s Go! Pikachu & Eevee, sans Meltan and Melmetal.Data for Pokémon species beyond 493 (Arceus, the last Pokémon in the National Pokédex in the original games) does not exist in the game.Two Mythical Pokémon, Mew and Jirachi, are given to players in-game they’re Shiny-locked and guaranteed to have 3 flawless IVs.Some moves that were made unavailable in Sword & Shield have made a return in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl.As a result, there are a lot of structural changes within the engine in regards to how data is stored, compared to Pokémon Sword & Shield.
While the game doesn’t release until Friday, November 19, Twitter user Kaphotics and mattyoukhana_ have been sharing information they’ve learned through datamining about the games, and now we’re here to compile it all for you. These things just go together - and while not everyone might like it, it doesn’t stop the universe from making it happen.Īll that being said, there’s a new datamine for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl. Unless you’re somehow new to the Pokémon community on Twitter, it should come as no surprise that new Pokémon releases mean new Pokémon leaks.
