The Mythical Rock/Fairy-type Pokemon, Diancie, made its debut in the Pokemon Go Fest 2023, and players wonder how they can snatch it in 2024. Well, here’s all you need to know to get the Jewel Pokemon.

The arrival of Diancie and Mega Diancie at the same time brought a lot of new content into Pokemon Go during the Go Fest 2023 event. But can you get Diancie now?

Here’s everything you need to know about Diancie in Pokemon Go, including how to obtain it, its shiny availability, and the best moves for PvP and PvE.

How to catch Diancie in Pokemon Go

Diancie will come back to Pokemon Go on May 1, 2024, at 10 AM local time in the Special Research Story: Glitz and Glam.

Diancie and Mega Diancie were previously available in Raids during Pokemon Go Fest 2023, and now players can snatch more Diancie Candy if they already have this rare species, as well as Mega Energy to Mega Evolve it.

Can Diancie be shiny in Pokemon Go?
