How do I unlock the National Dex in Diamond and Pearl?

You need to see (not catch) all 150 Pokemon in the Sinnoh regional Dex before talking to Professor Rowan. After that, the National Dex opens up with wild encounters across Sinnoh that weren't available before. The tracker handles both phases and the Missing filter works for either the regional or full roster.

Which Diamond and Pearl Pokemon require the PokeRadar?

Several Pokemon are PokeRadar-exclusive in Diamond and Pearl, meaning they only appear during chaining sessions. This includes Ralts, Larvitar, Ditto, and Bagon depending on the route. Look for the PokeRadar tag in the checklist to know which catches need chaining.

What are the version exclusives in Diamond and Pearl?

Diamond has Cranidos, Stunky, Murkrow, Dialga, and others. Pearl has Shieldon, Glameow, Misdreavus, Palkia, and more. Each exclusive is tagged with its version in the checklist. Plan your trades accordingly.

Sinnoh's original regional Dex is surprisingly small. Finishing it unlocks the National Dex with a much larger pool. Some Pokemon only appear with the PokeRadar or in the Great Marsh's daily rotation. Filter by Missing to see what's left in each phase.
