How to Buy Dusk Balls in Pokémon Sparkling Diamond and Sparkling Pearl

Pokémon Sparkling Diamond and Sparkling Pearl are back with many types of Poké Balls. The standard balls are still in the game as intended, but so are some niches that players can use to their advantage when catching rarer Pokemon.

Perhaps the most useful Poké Ball in the Sinnoh Remakes is the Dusk Ball. This specific ball makes it much easier for players to catch Pokemon found in dark places, like caves. Pokémon like Giratina that reside in caves no longer require Master Ball to quickly catch. However, players must first know where they can find Dusk Balls if they want to start catching Pokémon in these dark places in Sinnoh.

There are two places where you can buy Dusk Balls in Pokémon Sparkling Diamond and Sparkling Pearl. The first location is located in Celestic Town, a location that doesn't experience much action throughout your journey. There isn't even a Poké Mart in town, leading players to believe that nothing of value can be purchased.

However, if players navigate to the northwest upper house, they will find an elderly man behind a desk selling Dusk Balls for 1 Poké Dollars each. He also sells other balls like the Quick and the Timer Ball.

The next location is in the town of Solaceon. This town actually has a Poké Mart that you can walk into and buy the Dusk Balls for 1 Poké Dollars. This is the easiest place to find the Dusk Ball, as you reach it much earlier in the Pokémon Sparkling Diamond and Sparkling Pearl story.



However, either location is useful once you reach Celestic Town, which happens after you beat the Pastoria City Gym and get Cynthia's Secret Medicine. This allows you to disperse the pack of Psyduck blocking the road to Celestic Town.
