Pokémon Shining Diamond and Shining Pearl: trading codes

Where the developers do not go, fans do: you can trade every Pokémon thanks to the codes of Shining Diamond and Shining Pearl

Like all titles Pokémon of the main series, too Shining Diamond and Shining Pearl they boast unique creatures that you can make your own thanks to the righteous codes. Unfortunately, the good times of GameShark and Action Replay are long over, and as we recalled in the review of the two remakes, an organized trading system continues to lurk in games. But as we know by now, where the development team does not go, the fans roll up their sleeves. The codes to which we allude are those for organizing exchanges, as the community has already associated the relative passwords to very specific exchanges.

The starters

The first of the exchange codes for Pokémon Shining Diamond and Shining Pearl that we will see are the ones to obtain the creatures at the beginning of the game. Starters hang out in the Great Dungeons in Russia’s southeast peninsula-inspired post-game area, but if you want to have a well-balanced team before then you’ll need to enter one of these codes upon entering the trading room (more on that at the end. ). Here are the numbers:

Code Starter you want to offer Starter you want in return
0387-0390 Turtwig Chimchar
0387-0393 Turtwig Piplup
0390-0387 Chimchar Turtwig
0390-0393 Chimchar Piplup
0393-0387 Piplup Turtwig
0393-0390 Piplup Chimchar

Make sure you don’t give up your one starter before swapping it out. Flemminia hosts a Pokémon hostel, in which you can leave the starter in the company of a Ditto to have a egg from which another example of the starter will be born.
