Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Tips - How to update the secret base and farm fast XP

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are pretty good remakes of the original DS title, but also offer some new content for everything else. This includes the Grand Underground, which replaces the ancient underground and offers new opportunities to catch Pokemon (although they are much more difficult than those on the surface). It is accessible from almost everywhere in Singh and also offers some additional treasures that can be found.

Treasures can also be exchanged on hikers, which give them balls in return. Together with the upgrade of your secret base, you can buy with spheres of evolutionary stones and heart shed (which can be exchanged against the motion reminder in Astoria City to help Pokemon when recovering certain movements). But where are these hikers?

Just drive northwest of the Battle Zone area Grand Underground or go directly from the entrance to the Twin Leaf Grand Underground to find a Hiker. You will also find them in the different sections of the Grand Underground. Grade as much as possible to estimate to exchange them against spheres and expand your secret association accordingly.

How to win fast XP

At the beginning it can appear trivial to improve your Pokemon. XP Share ensures that all Pokemon in your group gain experience, regardless of whether they participate. Due to the lack of XP sweets, however, the rise in the late game can be a true pain, especially if you carry Pokemon with lower level. Fortunately, there is a way to reduce the grinding.

First you need a Pokemon of the Level 50 — this will be your main fighter, so choose a strong. Next, you need the vs. see searcher item that makes it possible to hold backpack against trainers. This means that you continuously let XP farms and lose their weaker Pokemon via XP Share. Finally, you want the Lucky Egg object. When it is held by a Pokemon, it increases the amount of XP, which deserves in battles. In addition, his effects can stack, so they can have six lucky eggs, one for each Pokemon in their group (although they can get only two before the final first).

To find happiness, go to Lake Acuity and then go to the Grand Underground. Go to the icy area in the northwestern part, and you will find a happiness. It can also be recovered from the Lot ID in Jubilee City and bought with BP in the Battle Tower.

Travel with a lucky thing in hand to route 228 to face the ACE coach. This gives you 4k to 5k XP for every fight, and if your main Pokemon is strong enough, the XP should begin. If you are looking for more opportunities to collect XP, fight against Barry (your rivals) in the Battle Tower or fight against Dawn / Lucas in Sand gem Town is a good choice. Each of them is only available once a day. For easier activity, the fight against Grand Underground Pokemon is good as they are relatively stronger and offer more XP.
