Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are out now, giving players the chance to catch them all once again. Ralts is one of the harder Pokemon to track down in the Sinnoh region. However, it’s a crucial Pokemon to catch due to its high-powered evolution line, and unique Fairy type. Fear not, as we run down how to catch Ralts, as well as the best location to track down Ralts.
How to catch Ralts and location in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
The good news is that catching Ralts in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is a very familiar process. It involves the exact same steps as catching any of the other Pokemon in the game: searching for one in wild areas, then landing a successful Pokeball throw.
There are some locations where Ralts is more likely to appear. Namely, you’ll want to check the Grand Underground network of caves. Ralts is most common there, especially in certain spots. Here’s the locations where you’re most likely to find and catch Ralts:
- Fountainspring Cave
- Dazzling Cave
- Stargleam Cavern
In these Grand Underground spots, wild Pokemon walk around visibly, so you’ll know if there’s a Ralts in there. If not, check back at different times of day, as Pokemon spawns can vary based on the in-game clock. Of course, there are chances of catching Ralts elsewhere, but these are the most reliable spots
Once you spot a Ralts, the catching process will be very familiar. You can either throw one of your Pokeballs straight off the bat, or weaken Ralts through battle. Wild Pokemon are generally easier to catch when their HP is lower, so it’s a good idea to battle a little. Of course, you don’t want to accidentally knock out the Ralts, or you’ll have to start the process all over again.
When playing, be careful not to fall into the Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl walking trap bug. If you want to catch an Eevee too, we’ve got a handy catch guide.
