Cresselia , also known as the Moon Pokémon, is one of the Legendary Pokémon that are available in Pokémon Shining Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl . This Psychic-type creature, originally from the fourth generation , can be caught to complete the game's Pokédex, although obviously, its method of obtaining is quite special .
In this entry of our guide we are going to show you what are the requirements to be able to capture Cresselia and how to find it.
ADVERTISINGBefore you can start capturing Cresselia, you should know that there is a prerequisite for her to appear in your game:
Cresselia can only be captured when you already have the National Pokédex in your possession, so make sure you do the steps mentioned above or else you still won't be able to get this Legendary.
When you already have the National Pokédex, an event will be unlocked that allows you to go for Cresselia on Full Moon Island . This event starts in Canal City , inside Ruperto the sailor's house (it's the house just to the left of the sailor that also takes you to Iron Island).
Follow these steps to be able to travel to Full Moon Island:
He agrees to travel to Full Moon Island. Upon arrival you will be on a small piece of land with a single path. Move forward until you get to the next area and you'll run into Cresselia head-on . Interact with the Pokémon and it will run away , leaving behind a Poké Ball with the Moon Feather item .
From now on Cresselia will be roaming freely throughout Sinnoh and you will have to go after her. First of all, if you want, you can pick up the Moon Feather and return with the sailor to Canal City to enter his house and give the feather to the son, so he will recover from his nightmares .
Now that you've had your first encounter with Cresselia on Full Moon Island, this Pokémon will be jumping from place to place in Sinnoh nonstop. You should know that to locate him and have a guaranteed encounter with him you have to follow certain steps, also very similar to those you must take to capture Mesprit.
So please note that from now on you need to have the Poké-Watch Map App, which you can easily get by talking to the president of Poké-Watch SA in Jubilee City after winning 3 medals (inside the headquarters building). of Poké-Watch SA). The Mapmark application is necessary to be able to easily locate Cresselia, since otherwise it would be impossible to know where she is at all times.
Well, in order to have a wild encounter against Cresselia you will have to follow these steps :
A good place to try to match up with Cresselia is, for example, between Route 214 and Valor Shore . It can appear in any of these areas and if you stay here going in and out from one to another, you will eventually end up coinciding with it in order to capture it.
It is worth mentioning that Cresselia appears at level 50 . Remember that the combat against this legendary is unique , that is, it can only be captured once , so it is recommended that before entering into combat against it you manually save the game and deactivate the automatic save (so you can load the game by if you weaken them).
Keep in mind that if you weaken it you will never be able to get it again in your game unless another player trades it to you through the online features. You are warned. On the other hand, Cresselia can come out in her shiny version, so saving before her fight is also good if you're trying to get her in a shiny version .
