In "Pokémon Brilliant Diamond," Zugaidos and Skempoo appear!

Now it's time to explore the vast underground world! Let's play around in the "Great Underground Caverns"!

The "Chikatsuro" in "Pokémon Diamond Pearl" has been upgraded and now appears in "Pokémon Shining Pearl" as the "Underground Caverns". The "Great Underground Cavern" is a labyrinth-like underground world that stretches across the entire Shin-Ou region.

You can go there using the "Adventure Set," which you can obtain during your adventures. You can dig for precious items and Pokémon caches, create your own secret base, and meet Pokémon living in various environments in places called Pokémon Hideouts.

You can also use the Nintendo Switch's local and Internet communications to explore the "Great Underground Cavern" with other trainers. Enjoy adventures in the vast underground world.

Let's go to the Pokémon's hideout!
Pokémon hideouts are located in different environments, such as underground lakes and volcanic regions, and the Pokémon that gather there are also different. Some Pokémon that live in the Shin-Ou region seem to gather only at Pokémon Lairs.

Unearthing Treasures in the Kaseki Hori (Cassowary)
Some of the walls of the "Great Underground Cavern" can be dug with a nickel and a hammer. By digging, you can find not only useful tools for adventures and valuable Pokémon caseques, but also "Pokémon stone statues," which are new to this title.

In addition to the equipment that will be useful in your adventures in the Shin-Ou Region, you can restore a Pokémon's caseki to make it a companion, and you can add Pokémon stone statues to your collection.

The number of times you can dig into a wall is limited, and digging too much will cause the wall to collapse, so be careful to locate the treasure carefully and unearth as many treasures as possible.

Liven up the stage and make the "Super Contest Show! to succeed!

The "Super Contest" has been enhanced in this title, and is now available as the "Super Contest Show! Super Contest Show! Super Contest Show! is a popular show in the Sing-Out region in which four performers and Pokémon perform in cooperation.
In the show, Pokémon dress up in their favorite costumes and dance to the rhythm, offering a different experience from Pokémon battles in which Pokémon compete for strength.

The success of the show depends on the cooperation of the performers, who are evaluated on the condition of their Pokémon and their sense of rhythm, as well as the timing of the moves performed by each Pokémon. You and your friends can also perform together to wow the crowds with your best performances.

Super Contest Show! categories and judging
Super Contest Show! has five categories: "Coolness," "Cuteness," "Brilliance," "Strength," and "Smartness," with "Visual Judging," "Dance Judging," and "Skill Judging" taking place in each category.

During the judging, show points are awarded according to the ratings, and the show is a success when the total number of show points earned by all four performers exceeds a certain number. In order to receive better evaluations, it is important to condition Pokémon for each category, practice dances, and sometimes cooperate with other performers.
