Arceus is a Mythical Pokemon in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl that can only be obtained through a special event. See how to get the Azure Flute in Pokemon BDSP in order to get Arceus, which includes the need for Pokemon Legends: Arceus save data.

How to Get the Azure Flute and Arceus in Pokemon BDSP

There are a few steps you must take in both Pokemon Brilliant Diamond or Pearl and Pokemon Legends: Arceus in order to face Arceus in BDSP.

  1. In Legends: Arceus, complete all main missions, including the final mission, The Deified Pokemon, that requires you to catch every Pokemon in the Hisui Pokedex.
  2. Unlock the National Pokedex in Pokemon BDSP.
  3. Update Pokemon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl to Ver. 1.3.0.
  4. Return to your room in Pokemon BDSP, located in Twinleaf Town. The Azure Flute will be on the floor next to your TV (in the usual Poke Ball item casing). Screen Shot 2022-03-16 at 4.14.39 PM.png
  5. With the Azure Flute in hand, head back through Mt. Coronet to Spear Pillarto face Arceus in battle for a chance to catch it.
According to Serebii.net, Arceus can be Shiny!

That's all! Arceus is available in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl indefinitely, but other Legendary Pokemon aren't. Don't miss these timed events:

Funnily enough, in order to get Arceus in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, you must have already caught it in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. See How to Get Arceus in Pokemon Legends: Arceus for more details. Basically, for Arceus to show up in modern-day Sinnoh, the events in the past in Legends: Arceus must have happened to trigger that event.
