How to Catch a Pokemon with Frisk in Pokemon Diamond

Frisk is an ability some Pokemon have at birth. This ability allows a Pokemon to see what its opponent is holding in battle. Different held items give a Pokemon different advantages, so if you know ahead of time what your opponent has, it helps you form a strategy to win. In "Pokemon Diamond," two Pokemon have Frisk: Banette and Banette's pre-evolved form, Shuppet. After you obtain the National Pokedex at the end of the main game, you can catch Banette by visiting areas on the map where it congregates. If you breed Banette, it produces an egg containing Shuppet.

Things You'll Need

National Pokedex
Several Ultra Balls or Dusk Balls
HM02: Fly

Instructions

Catch Banette
- 1
  Fly to the Survival Area, Route 225, at night.
- 2
  Walk in the grassy area on Route 225, or try grassy areas on the nearby routes 226 and 227, until you meet a Banette.
- 3
  Lower Banette's health with any type of move other than a Ghost- or Dark-type move, which do double damage. You don't want to knock Banette out, or you won't be able to catch it.
- 4
  Toss an Ultra Ball or Dusk Ball when Banette's HP meter is in the red, indicating that its health is low. Banette's catch rate is 45, so it's not very easy to catch.
- 5
  Keep tossing Ultra Balls or Dusk Balls until Banette stays in the ball. Dusk Balls have a high success rate when used at night.
- 6
  Catch both a male and female Banette if you want to breed them to get a Shuppet.
Breed Banette for Shuppet
- 7
  Fly to Solaceon Town and visit the Pokemon Day Care building.
- 8
  Give the Pokemon Day Care lady your male and female Banettes.
- 9
  Leave the Day Care Center and walk around. After a few hundred steps, return to the Day Care Center and talk to the man standing outside. He'll give you an egg.
- 10
  Keep the egg in your party and walk around until Shuppet hatches.
