Pokémon Go Celebrates Diamond and Pearl Remakes With Special Event

November 10, 2021

If you’re a Pokémon fan, you are probably looking forward to the Nov. 19 release of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, remakes of the 2006 Nintendo DS titles Diamond and Pearl. To help build your hype, developer Niantic is kicking off a special two-part Pokémon Go event next week.

The first part of the event, for Brilliant Diamond, starts on Tuesday, Nov. 16 at 10 a.m. local time and runs through Nov. 18 at 8 p.m. The second part, for Shining Pearl, runs from Nov. 18 at 10 a.m. local time to Nov. 21 at 8 p.m.

During the event, players will be able to encounter Sinnoh starters Chimchar, Piplup, and Turtwig rocking Dawn or Lucas hats. You can also capture shiny versions of these Pokémon, and it will require fewer steps for you to hatch creatures via incubators or the Super Incubator.

If you’d like to start the party a little early, you can put your avatar in special costumes starting on Monday, Nov. 15. Specifically, you will be able to get cute onesies based on the starter Pokémon mentioned above. While these will likely cost money (no cost has yet been given), you’ll also be able to dress as Diamond and Pearl trainers via free items releasing the same day.

Additionally, you will be able to collect special stickers during the event via items, Gifts, and Pokestop spins. And the event will also have cool bundles available at a special price:

  • Event Box (one-time exchange): 20 Poké Balls, one Sinnoh Stone
  • Great Box (300 PokéCoins): three Super Incubators, two Incubators, one Lure Module.

If you’d rather capture creatures than collect stickers, there will be additional Diamond and Pearl Pokémon in raids, eggs, or just out in the wild. Below, we have details from Niantic about where (and when) to find them!
