The Sinnoh remakes are already here. Following our review of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, we have continued to explore the fourth generation region in depth to discover the many new secrets it holds with its jump to Nintendo Switch.

Among those secrets is a post-game that we will talk about. Although, in order to explore all the possibilities of this, it is not enough just to overcome the Pokémon League, first you have to complete the Sinnoh Pokédex by registering the 150 native Pokémon of this region.

A complicated task, but for which we are going to help you. We have recorded the location of each one and we are going to give it to you in this Pokémon Guide of the Sinnoh Pokédex in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. A list with 150 creatures in which you will see methods of evolution, routes and places to capture them. In addition to the special requirements that some of them may have or those that are exclusive to each edition.

Sinnoh Pokédex - Where are all the Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Pokémon
From the starters to the legendaries. Here is the complete list with the 150 Pokémon that make up the Sinnoh Pokédex. If you want to unlock the National Pokédex and reveal the juiciest part of the post-game remakes, you will have to complete it.

Although don't worry, you just have to encounter them instead of capturing them, as that will be enough for you to go to Professor Rowan and run into a most special guest from Kanto who expands the Pokédex to register more than 400 different Pokémon.

Below you have the location of all the Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex of Pokémon BD and SP. Since it is not necessary to capture them all, it will be enough for you to also run into some trainers who have them. Take a look to find out where these little monsters are and how to capture or evolve them:
