A new update is now live in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl on Nintendo Switch, bringing the game up to version 1.2.0. While most of the game’s updates so far have focused on bug fixes, this one adds some welcome new multiplayer options! Namely, players can now check out a new Colosseum feature, which allows players to battle using custom rulesets. Players will now have the option of setting level requirements, the number of Pokemon used, and more. Union Rooms have also received new functions, and Pokemon obtained through illicit means have been banned from battles and trades.
The maximum number of players you can play with via local or internet communication in Union Rooms has been increased to eight. Also, by selecting Greeting or Capsule Decorations, you can show each other your Trainer Cards or Capsule Decorations.
Enter the Colosseum on the 2nd floor of a Pokémon Center to battle with other players using custom rulesets.
In the Colosseum, you can set rules, such as the number of Pokémon to send into battle as well as their levels, and play Single Battles, Double Battles, or Multi Battles via local or internet communication.
Some Pokémon acquired via unintended methods or illicit modification now cannot be used in Link Trades or Link Battles.
