How Do You Get a Shiny Stone on Pokemon Diamond?

Nintendo's Pokemon Diamond Version lets you capture Pokemon in the mysterious lands of the Sinnoh region. You can catch a different set of Pokemon from those found in earlier versions, some of which evolve through completely different methods. The rare item known as “shiny stone” has the ability to evolve the Togetic and Roselia Pokemon into their advanced forms. This item can be found only through the use of Pokemon's special abilities.

Things You'll Need

• One or more Pokemon with the “Pickup” ability

Instructions

1. Travel to Iron Island with at least one Pokemon with the “Pickup” power. Pickup lets Pokemon find additional items after each win. Pickup is possessed by Aipom, Ambipom, Linoone, Meowth, Munchlax, Pachirisu, Phanpy, Teddiursa and Zigzagoon.

2. Go to Route 228. This pathway has many Pokemon to battle.

3. Defeat random Pokemon to find shiny stones. Pickup gives your Pokemon a 10 percent chance to find an item after each match, and in this area you’ll get shiny stones.

Tips & Warnings

• Most of the Pokemon in this area are rock type. Use any grass or water abilities that your Pokemon may have to defeat the random challengers quickly.
