Pikachu is the best-known and most adorable Pokemon by far. This guide will show you how to catch Pikachu and where to find it in Pokemon BDSP.
Where to Catch Pikachu in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
You will be able to get Pikachu in the Trophy Garden location. This location is on Route 212, just behind the Pokemon Mansion. You can get there by going to Hearthome City. Once there, exit the town and go to Route 212, where you will find a Mansion. Enter the mansion and head towards the back, where you will find the entrance to the garden. The Trophy Garden is a patch of grass located behind the Mansion.
You can find several different Pokemon types here, luckily Pikachu has a 40% spawn rate so he shouldn’t be too difficult to run into. This also means that a Pikachu isn’t guaranteed to spawn every time. If you find one, defeat the Pikachu and you will be able to add it to your team.
There are plenty of other spawn points where players can find a Pikachu, but this is the easiest to find and has a decent spawn rate. To recap where you can find and catch Pokémon in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl:
