Heart Scales are an essential item in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl if you want your Pokemon to relearn some old moves. Why would one want to relearn an old move? Well, if you evolved a Pokemon and mistakenly dropped a move that you actually needed in the Evolved Pokemon as well, Heart Scales can help you out.
In this Pokemon BDSP Heart Scale Locations guide, we will give you details on how to go about finding these rare valuables.
Where to get Heart Scales in Pokemon BDSP
You cannot buy Heart Scales from a vendor in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as these can only be found at certain locations or by mining in the Grand Underground.
Below are all Pokemon BDSP Heart Scale Locations.
Route 212 Heart Scale Location
Make your way towards Pastoria City and head southwest. Keep following the path through the tar pits and head towards the top left pit. Keep pressing A along the trees to pick up the Heart Scale.
Route 214 Heart Scale Location
Fast travel to Veilstone City and make your way towards Route 214 by heading south from there. Once you find a maze, go inside it and head towards the patch of grass where one patch is missing.
On the missing patch, press A to collect a Heart Scale.
Grand Underground Heart Scale Location
The Grand Underground is one of the three locations where you have a chance to collect a Heart Scale with the help of mining. Head there and start mining to get a chance to collect a Heart Scale.
Luvdisc
Another unique way of obtaining a Heart Scale is by catching or stealing from Luvdisc!
First, let’s elaborate on catching this heart-shaped fish. After you have unlocked the National Dex, you can encounter this Pokemon, by fishing from the following locations:
- Route 212
- Route 214
That being said, if you don’t want to catch this Pokemon you could also steal from this Pokemon. Have a Pokemon in your party that knows Thief or Covet, this way you won’t waste your resources and time by catching a bunch of Luvdiscs.
How to use Heart Scale in PDSP
You have the Heart Scale, what now? How can you use it? Can you use it directly from your inventory? Well, no. You will need to take the Heart Scale to the Relearner in Pastoria City if you want to relearn any of your old moves for a Pokemon. The house of this NPC is in the Northeast of Pokemart.
