How to find & catch Giratina in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl
If you need a hand finding and capturing the mythical Giratina in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, here's our guide telling you exactly how to do it.
Giratina is a nice addition to the Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, especially as the legendary beast made its first appearance in Pokemon Platinum.
The big beast is a tough one, but it's not one you can't manage. Here's exactly how to catch Giritina in Pokemon BPSP.
Where is Giratina in Pokemon BDSP?
Giratina is relatively easy to find in the game once you've completed each of the steps in Pokemon BPSP, but the difficulty is made up when it comes to catching them.
Once you've defeated the Elite Four and Cynthia, you'll have to also complete the Sinnoh Pokedex with sightings of each of the 150 beasties under your belt.
Head back to Rowan once you've done this, and you'll get the National Dex. Go to Veilstone City and head south, onto Route 214. On your way, you'll notice there's a newly opened pathway to your right - you're going to want to take it, and you'll reach the Spring Path.
Carry on until you reach Sendoff Spring, and from here you'll have to climb the wall and go around the crater. Once done, you can descend into Turnback Cave, where Giratina will be waiting for you.
How to catch Giratina
Once you get to Giratina in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, you'll have to be ready. We'd suggest that before you leave for Sendoff Spring, stock up on all of the Potions, Revives, and Dusk Balls you can manage - you're going to need them. Save before you engage with Giratina, and you're good to go.
The legendary is weak to Dark, Fairy and Ice moves, so keep this in mind whether you want to deal some serious damage, or you've got Giratina on the ropes and don't want to force it to faint.
Drag the Pokemon to as low HP as you can, hit it with a status effect like paralysis or sleep, and just keep lobbing Dusk Balls. You'll need to be patient because it could take up to around 15 balls to catch them, but it'll get the job done.
