Pokémon Shining Pearl (Switch): secrets, Mystery Gifts and pro tips
• Once you complete the Sinnoh Pokédex (seeing Pokémon is enough, no need to catch them), talk to Professor Rowan and Professor Oak to unlock the National Pokédex.
• Use the PokéRadar (a reward for completing the Sinnoh Pokédex) in tall grass to find rare Pokémon and chain encounters, which greatly boosts shiny odds.
• In the Grand Underground you can dig up spheres, fossils and items, and create secret bases; spheres can be traded with underground NPCs for treasures.
• Pokémon caught in the Grand Underground or via the PokéRadar can have hidden abilities that are otherwise unobtainable.
• To get Dialga/Palkia you must defeat Team Galactic on Mt. Coronet; save before the legendary battle so you can retry if you accidentally defeat it.
• Visit the villa on Route 212 daily: the writer publishes a word each day that, when told to his son, grants items and can influence encounters.
• Pro tip: use the Pokétch Marking Map app to track daily swarms of rare Pokémon on specific routes.
