A new in-game freebie is available for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. As a special holiday bonus, players can claim a free bundle of color statues in the games until Dec. 25.
The bundle is being distributed via Mystery Gift and consists of five rare color statues: Pachirisu, Lucario, Rhyperior, Electivire and Glaceon. These can be placed around your Secret Base and will influence the kinds of wild Pokemon you encounter in the Grand Underground.
To claim the bundle, open the Mystery Gift menu and follow these steps:
- Choose Get with code/password

These aren't the only free statues being given away over Mystery Gift right now. Players can still claim free color statues of Turtwig, Chimchar and Piplup using the code BDSPUNDERG0UND. These will be available until May 31, 2022.
A few other freebies are also available in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Everyone who purchases either game before Feb. 21 can receive a free Manaphy egg, and players who have save data for other Pokemon games on their console can also claim a free Mew and Jirachi.
