Discover how to collect statues in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Learn which statues boost encounter rates for specific Pokemon types in the Grand Underground.
Alright, so you've heard about Secret Bases in the Grand Underground, right? One of the coolest things you can do is decorate your base with statues you dig up. These aren't just for show, though – they actually help you find more of certain Pokémon types!
When you're digging for Treasure Boxes in the Grand Underground, keep an eye on the symbol on the Stone Box you find. That symbol tells you which Pokémon type the statue inside corresponds to. Once you've got your hands on a statue, you can place up to 18 of them in your Secret Base. Doing this will boost the encounter rate for Pokémon of that type in the surrounding Grand Underground caverns. It's a super handy way to hunt for specific Pokémon you might be missing!
Here's a breakdown of the statues you can find and what they do:
