Where to Find Giratina in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Giratina is one of the most sought-after Pokemon in the original Pokémon Diamond and Pearl games, as well as in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

This species is one of the three cosmic rulers that was created by Arceus alongside Dialga and Palkia, rulers of time and space. Giratina’s role is ruling over antimatter. The Ghost and Dragon-type species remains one of the most powerful Legendary Pokémon that players will encounter in the game.

Giratina comes in two different forms; one of them is more difficult to get and players are unlikely to encounter it during their adventures. The other form is the most common, and players can easily acquire it.

Finding Giratina in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

To find Giratina, you’ll need to have defeated the Elite Four and acquired the national Pokédex. In order to locate Giratina, head to Spring Path, along the forest side of Route 214 once you’ve defeated the Elite Four.

Head down this path and you’ll notice a climbable wall with Rock Climb in Spendoff Spring. Climb it and enter the Turnback Cave. Since the cave’s layout is randomly generated, it can get tricky directing players at this point.

However, no matter the layout, Giratina can be found past the room with the third pillar. Once you’ve located this room, you’ll see Giratina, and the encounter will play out as usual. Be sure to save your game before encountering Giratina in case you wish to reset.

You’ll need to have lots of Poke Balls in order to capture Giratina as well as a powerful team to face off against it.
