Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Home

Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl were released on 19 Nov 2021 for the Nintendo Switch. They are remakes of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. They are compatible with each other, and can send and receive compatible Pokémon with Pokémon HOME, also for the Switch.

The first 493 Pokémon are all programmed into the game. Between the two games, the player can access all non-Mythical Pokémon out of that 493, with a handful of Mythical Pokémon being available through events and save data bonuses.
