Pokémon: Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

What Are Statues?

By
Seren Morgan-Roberts

This page offers a guide on Statues in Pokémon: Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl (BDSP).

How to Get Statues

Statues are obtained through digging in the Grand Underground. They’re found by digging up Pretty Stone Boxes or Gorgeous Stone Boxes. Pretty boxes contain normal statues whilst the Gorgeous ones contain shiny statues.

For more information, head over to our guide on How to Dig in the Grand Underground.

What Do Statues Do?

Statues can be placed in your Secret Base in the Grand Underground. When displayed, they’ll increase the encounter rate of the displayed Pokémon’s type. You can display up to 18 statues in your base and there are different statue sizes.

How to Get Shiny Statues

Shiny Statues are teal in color, and are quite rare to find! However, there is a way to increase your chances of digging one up!

If you’ve already spent time wandering around the Grand Underground, you may have encountered some pink sparkles surrounding digletts in the paths between caverns. You’ll want to “collect” 40 sparkly digletts in one “trip” to the Grand Underground - the number resets if you leave the Grand Underground.

When you run through 40 of the digletts, you’ll then have a 100% chance of digging up a Gorgeous Stone Box containing a Shiny Statue. The bonus runs out after digging up 3 Gorgeous Boxes, so make sure you don’t collapse the walls without finding the boxes!
