How to get Manaphy in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl will be released into the wild on November 19, 2021, which means fans don't have long to wait. There are many different Pokémon in the series, and while the remakes won't feature all of them, there is still a fair amount to catch and befriend. This includes the mythical Pokémon Manaphy. 

Players may be wondering how to get Manaphy in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. The answer is that players have to pre-order either Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl. After doing so, they can receive a Manaphy egg by going to the Mystery Gift menu and selecting Get Via Internet.

It will take players roughly two hours to get access to the Mystery Gift function, so they can't just noob stomp the early game with Manaphy. They will also need to connect to the internet if they want to get the egg. Additionally, they have until February 21, 2022, to claim the egg.

Those who aren't just happy with a Manaphy can drop off the mythical Pokémon at the nursery with a Ditto. After some time has passed, players can receive an egg that will hatch in a Phone. It will take roughly ten hours before players reach the nursery in Solaceon Town.
