Pokémon Shining Pearl is a faithful and lovingly crafted remake of the beloved Pokémon Pearl, developed by ILCA and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company exclusively for Nintendo Switch. Return to the Sinnoh region — one of the most beloved settings in Pokémon history — reimagined with charming chibi-style overworld graphics and fully modernized gameplay. Catch, train, and battle your way across Sinnoh's diverse routes and cities, challenge the eight Gym Leaders, and ultimately face the Elite Four and Champion Cynthia in a classic Pokémon adventure that honors the original while bringing it to life on Nintendo Switch. Shining Pearl features version-exclusive Pokémon including Palkia as the box legendary.
The Sinnoh Region — Faithfully Reimagined
Pokémon Shining Pearl recreates the Sinnoh region with charming chibi-style character models in the overworld that pay homage to the original DS game's top-down perspective, while battles feature fully 3D Pokémon models. Explore the snowy routes of northern Sinnoh, the underground caverns of the Grand Underground, the misty lakes home to the lake guardians, and the mysterious Spear Pillar at the summit of Mt. Coronet — all faithfully recreated with modern polish.
The Grand Underground
The Grand Underground is one of Shining Pearl's most expanded features — a vast subterranean network beneath Sinnoh where you can dig for rare items and fossils, decorate your Secret Base, and explore Pokémon Hideaways where rare Pokémon roam freely in their natural habitats. The Grand Underground adds enormous depth and replayability to the Sinnoh adventure, with Pokémon availability changing based on the Gym Badges you've earned.
Classic Pokémon Gameplay & Contests
Shining Pearl preserves all the beloved features of the original Pearl — including Pokémon Contests where you showcase your Pokémon's beauty, coolness, and other attributes in performance competitions, the Pokétch multi-tool device, and the full original Sinnoh Pokédex. Post-game content includes the Pokémon League rematches, the Battle Tower, and access to the Ramanas Park where legendary Pokémon from previous generations can be encountered.
Online Trading & Battling
Pokémon Shining Pearl supports online trading and battling via the Union Room and GTS — trade Pokémon with players worldwide, challenge friends to battles, and participate in online competitions to test your team against the best trainers globally.
