The ‘Shine Bright like a Gemstone’ side-mission has a tremendous prize
Game Freak has been feeling generous lately. Case in point: Pokémon Legends Z-A’s newest Mystery Gift, which gives out a Diancie and its associated Mega Stone to anyone who has finished the main storyline. The Rock/Fairy mythical monster has been a rarity in major Pokémon games, with the last Diancie event dating back to 2016. Pokémon Go made a Diancie available during a limited event in 2024, but most fans weren’t able to move that monster into Scarlet and Violet, as creatures that you’ve never caught or traded cannot be transferred, unfortunately.
For most people, then, this Mystery Gift will be the first legitimate pathway to obtain Diancie in a long time. It’s pretty easy, too. You get the Diancite Stone by connecting to Mystery Gift, which requires an internet connection. From there, you go to the Looker Bureau and talk to Mimi, which will kick off a new side quest called “Shine Bright like a Gemstone” that ultimately ends with Diancie in your party. Once you do, if you’re in the camp that’s been holding onto that 2024 Diancie on your phone, you’ll finally be able to transfer it into Scarlet and Violet via Pokémon Home.
Beyond getting a rare mythical Pokémon, players who have yet to beat the main storyline might want to do so soon. Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC drops Dec. 10, 2025 — and it’ll bring with it monsters that can go over level 150. Diancie will be an asset in hyperspace, but there’s probably only so much you can do against a Pokémon that’s potentially dozens of levels higher than you. Get to it!
