 Location of Grand Underground in Sinnoh. | ||||
| Pokémon world locations | ||||
The Grand Underground (Japanese: 地下大洞窟 Grand Underground Cave) is an area in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl found beneath the entire Sinnoh region. Players can travel to the Grand Underground using an Explorer Kit, found in Eterna City.
It takes the place of the Underground from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
Changes from Diamond and Pearl
- The map now conforms to the shape of the Sinnoh landmass instead of a large square layout. Notably, it excludes Iron Island, Fullmoon Island, and Route 223 onwards.
- The map is still split into six disjoint areas like the original Underground, but the sizes and locations of the six areas do not match those of the original Underground.
- Areas now include Pokémon Hideaways, and each area now corresponds to a different aesthetic environment.
- At least one area includes Surfable water.
- The digging minigame returns following closely to its original incarnation with the exception of digging up Pokémon statues.
- These statues may seemingly depict Shiny Pokémon. It is unknown if this has any effects other than aesthetics.
- Secret Bases return and are created using a Digger Drill as before.
- Bases can only be decorated with statues and pedestals to place them on. Adding more of a specific type of Pokémon will increase chances of that type appearing in hideaways. The flag stealing mechanic has also been removed.
- Goods and Traps, with the sole exception of the Digger Drill, have been removed.
- Spheres no longer have a numerical size and are instead categorized as Small or Large. They can no longer be buried either.
- Instead of goods or traps, merchants in the Grand Underground can exchange treasures that can be dug up for spheres. Spheres can now be exchanged for pedestals, items, and TMs.
- The radar is now triggered by pressing R and searches the area around the players location.
- The Grand Underground supports online communications, compared to the original games which only supported local communications.
- Diglett and Dugtrio will occasionally pop out and leave pink sparkles that give 1 and 3 points respectively. Accumulating 40 of these causes "something good to happen" and new digging spots with green sparkles appear that do not need radar to be found.
Pokémon Hideaways
Pokémon Hideaways (Japanese: ポケモンの隠れ家 Pokémon Hideaway) are new places where wild Pokémon can be encountered. Unlike the main overworld, these areas feature symbol encounters. Some Pokémon available in the game can only be found in Hideaways. All Pokémon in the Hideaways will have at least one Egg Move if applicable, and earning more badges and becoming champion will increase the strength and variety of Pokémon found in the Hideaways.
Each of the six areas appear to contain one large Hideaway along with multiple much smaller Hideaways, with the exception of the largest area, which has two large Hideaways.
The Pokémon encountered in the Pokémon Hideaways have a chance of knowing a random Egg Move (with some exceptions). This also unlocks some Egg Moves that are otherwise unobtainable, e.g. Aura Sphere on Squirtle.
