+3 points (15)

Learn how to get the +3 points bonus in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, specifically for the 15th entry in your Pokédex. This guide covers the requirements and tips to achieve this bonus.

Getting the +3 Points Bonus (15th Entry)

Alright, let's talk about getting that sweet +3 points bonus in your Trainer Card! This bonus is awarded for completing a specific entry in your Pokédex. Specifically, you'll earn it when you register the 15th Pokémon in your Pokédex.

It might sound simple, but sometimes beginners get a little tripped up on how it works. You don't need to complete the entire Sinnoh Pokédex or anything super complex. Just focus on catching or obtaining your 15th unique Pokémon.

How to Get the 15th Entry Bonus

1. Track Your Pokédex: Keep an eye on the number of unique Pokémon you've registered. You can check this anytime by opening your Pokédex.
2. Catch 'em All (Well, 15): Your goal is to encounter and register your 15th different species of Pokémon. This could be through catching them in the wild, receiving them as gifts, or trading.
3. Automatic Bonus: Once you register that 15th Pokémon, the game will automatically award you the +3 points bonus. You'll see a notification about it.

Don't stress too much about which specific Pokémon it is. As long as it's a new entry for your Pokédex, it counts towards that 15th spot. Happy hunting!
