Where can I get a shiny stone?

Q: Is there any other way to get a shiny stone?

The easiest way to get a Shiny Stone is by visiting Ginters Specials in Jubilife Village and picking one up for 5,000 PokéDollars. You can also head to Trading Post and using its Item Exchange menu. There, you can use Merit Points you obtain by returning lost satchels to get useful items, including the Shiny Stone.

Evolutionary Stones are nothing new for the Pokémon franchise, but more seem to be added in every generation, leading to more complex methods of gathering them all to complete your Pokédex or just evolve members of your team.

The Shiny Stone made its debut among the litany of other Evolutionary Items and methods added in Diamond and Pearl.

This dazzling stone is only used to evolve four species of Pokémon in the entire franchise, but two of them are native to Sinnoh and were introduced in the fourth generation. The Shiny Stone is the only method to obtain Togekiss and Roserade. To see each Pokémon could be a powerful and fantastic addition to your team, just look at Champion Cynthia, who uses both depending on which game you face her in.

With their power and utility in mind, you will need a Shiny Stone in order to evolve either your Togetic or Roselia into its final form. But the process of getting that item is easier said than done when training your team, especially if you plan on using both Pokémon.

There are two static locations for the Shiny Stone. You can access both during your travels, but only one of them is accessible before the post-game.

Your best bet at grabbing a Shiny Stone is by venturing to Iron Island. There, after working with Riley to investigate and clear out the Team Galactic presence in the area—and grabbing a Rioulu Egg while you are at it—you can depart the cavern via a handy lift near the end of the cave.

However, you will want to make sure you thoroughly explore the area on the third floor, because a Shiny Stone is waiting for you. It’s the only one you can get without going out of your way later.

There are two other ways to get a Shiny Stone if you miss the one on Iron Island or just need a second one. You must wait until you become the Champion and can travel to the Battle Resort, where you can find a Shiny Stone on Route 228. Otherwise, you’ll need to get lucky by having a Pokémon with the Pickup ability grab the Stone.

The Shiny Stone is not included as a findable item via excavation in the Grand Underground, so once you use your finite overworld locations, you’ll have to rely on luck.

Shiny Stones were introduced in the fourth generation, so it makes sense that they’re a big deal in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

The evolution stone is used to evolve two Pokemon in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. While that might not sound like much, that makes it as important as any legendary for those looking to complete their Pokedex.

The good news is that two Shiny Stones can easily be obtained from the game. The bad news is that those looking to go a step further and put together a lineup of competitive Pokemon will have to add an extra step of grinding along the way.

Here’s how to get Shiny Stones in Pokemon BDSP and what you can do with them after finding them.

How to get Shiny Stones in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

In Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Shiny Stones can be found on Route 228 and on Iron Island.

The first can be obtained on Iron Island. The item is easy to find, as it simply lies on the ground outside the elevator at the end of the cavern pathway shortly after completing the sidequest with Riley.

The other can be found on Route 228. To the northwest of the Pokemon Center in the Resort Area, there is a bridge between two plateaus that can only be crossed with a bicycle. The other Shiny Stone is lying on the ground.

Two Pokemon can be evolved with a Shiny Stone in Pokemon BDSP, being Togetic and Roselia. Togepi and Budew evolve into these Pokemon respectively through reaching a high friendship level. These two Shiny Stones on the ground are enough to help the player complete their Pokedex, but anyone looking to go further than that will need to farm them. There are two ways to do so.

The first is in the Grand Underground, where they appear as a rare item in digging spots. The other is as a random find for Pokemon with the Pickup ability. All Pokemon with the Pickup ability have the potential to find Shiny Stones, but odds increase significantly for those at level 91 or above.

If the player puts together a full lineup of Pokemon with the Pickup ability at level 91 or higher, they can farm them without too much difficulty. The best options for Pokemon with the Pickup ability are Pachirisu and Aipom.
