How to Use the Poke Radar in Diamond

Using the Poke Radar is the only way to catch several varieties of Pokemon in "Pokemon Diamond." Without the Poke Radar, it is impossible to complete the National Pokedex. The Poke Radar cannot be used while you are on your bike, so you must dismount and walk into the grass. Once the Poke Radar is turned on, it will continue to work until you either lose a battle or turn it off.

Things You'll Need

HM03 Surf
Relic or Fen Badge
Completed Sinnoh Pokedex
National Pokedex
