SINNOH POKÉDEX IN POKÉMON SHINY DIAMOND

Once we have managed to get all the medals of the Gym Leaders and we have completed the League in Pokémon Shining Diamond and Shining Pearl , our next objective will be to complete the Sinnoh Pokédex .

This Pokédex consists of 151 Pokémon in total that we will have to search for throughout Sinnoh, the downside is that for some of them we will need, as always, another player to exchange the exclusive ones for us to at least be able to register them. So, let’s see how to catch each of them.
