Nintendo released Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl just over a month ago, and Pokemon trainers have been delving into the latest remakes since then. During a recent adventure in the underground of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, one player discovered two Girafarigs doing something strange.
Reddit user Fish_in_a_bottle recently shared a clip of their experiences exploring the underground in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. In the underground, players can dig for gems and capture or fight Pokemon located in small hideaways. In one of these hideaways, Fish_in_a_bottle encountered two Girafarigs in close proximity of each other. After moving forward and backward to dodge the running Pokemon, the Girafarigs started running in circles around the Pokemon trainer.
Fish_in_a_bottle allowed the Girafarigs to proceed as they claimed that the Pokemon was orbiting the trainer as the Earth orbits the sun. Like many other Pokemon encounters, the two Girafarigs had exclamation points above their heads that never disappear in the duration of Fish_in_a_bottle's Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl video. As the two Girafarigs intersect with each other at two points of the orbit, they phase through each other to show a duplicated front half, hiding the stranger rear end of the Pokemon that has its own mind and never sleeps.
Beyond the orbiting planets of our Solar System, the two Girafarig in Fish_in_a_bottle's video are akin to a loading wheel, Helium molecule, or the metallic balls of Newton's cradle. It's currently unclear if Fish_in_a_bottle chose to defeat or capture the wild Girafarig, but it's unlikely that the two engaged in battle at the same time. While duo Pokemon battles have become common over the years, the wild Pokemon encountered in Pokemon's Grand Underground are battled one at a time.
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's underground isn't the only end game content that Pokemon fans can enjoy after beating the Elite Four, but it is a way that improves Shiny Pokemon catching chances. Pokemon fans can also go to Ramanas Park which was added with Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and wasn't offered in the originally released games. Pokemon trainers can do various things in Ramanas Park, such as summon Legendary Pokemon from older games in order to complete the Pokedex and unlock new statues for secret bases.
In order to access the part of the Underground in which Fish_in_a_bottle encountered the wild Psychic-Normal type Pokemon Girafarig, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl fans will have to use the Underground Kit in Celestic town. Once the Underground Kit is used, Pokemon fans will have access to the more interesting middle region location of the Underground. Although Fish_in_a_bottle caught Girafarig acting strangely in this area, other Pokemon may similarly orbit trainers if they time their movements precisely.
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are available right now for Nintendo Switch.
