The higher the Poffin’s level, the easier it is to raise a Pokémon’s conditions.

The trick to good cooking is to stir the pot at the right speed. It’s also easier to make high-level Poffins if the Pokémon together with you in Amity Square have a close friendship with you. pic.twitter.com/uoEH9AIFg2

Poffins are snacks that can raise Pokémon’s conditions, such as Coolness or Cuteness. By raising these conditions, you can get higher scores during the Visual Evaluation of Super Contest Shows.#PokemonBrilliantDiamond #PokemonShiningPearl pic.twitter.com/hML9cJHS7f

A sledgehammer comes in handy in the Grand Underground! 🔨

Use the sledgehammer or pickaxe to dig into some of the walls and you can find valuable treasures like Pokémon statues, or Pokémon Fossils. #PokemonBrilliantDiamond#PokemonShiningPearl pic.twitter.com/qegkrZRZER

Trainer tip! There are differences along the routes and towns depending on the time of day—wild Pokémon that appear in an area may differ between morning and night, and there are some Pokémon that can only evolve at certain times. #PokemonBrilliantDiamond #PokemonShiningPearl pic.twitter.com/cHQaZz2UmP
