Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl bring a familiar adventure across the Sinnoh region to our Switch screens this time around. The remakes remain pretty faithful to the original games, but with a few twists this time around. There’s also the ability for players to get legendary and mythic Pokemon pretty easily this time around, including Mew and Jirachi. All it takes is a conversation with some NPCs in the game and some saved data on your Switch. Here’s everything you need to know on how to get Mew and Jirachi in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
How to Get Mew in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl
To get Mew head to Floaroma Town, between Route 204 and Route 205. It’s on the left-hand side of the map when you open it.
When you get here, head to the left of the Pokemon Center to find an elderly couple standing in a field of different colored flowers. Speak to the elderly woman here and you’ll get Mew as long as you have save data for the Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu or Eevee games.
Getting Jirachi in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl
The process is pretty similar here, too. To get Jirachi, head to the elderly couple to the left of the Pokemon Center in Floaroma Town, but this time speak to the elderly man.
As long as you’ve got saved data for Pokemon Sword and Shield on your Nintendo Switch, he’ll give you a Jirachi.
It’s worth noting that you can only get one Jirachi and one Mew per save file in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. It’s not possible to farm these two super rare Pokemon.
