If you’ve been asked to ‘choose a path’ between Diamond and Pearl in Pokemon GO, here’s everything you need to know to make the best decision including gameplay features and exclusive encounters.
Ahead of the global Pokemon GO Tour: Sinnoh event, Trainers around the world will receive the Road To Sinnoh Special Research story. After completing the first step, you’ll be asked to choose Diamond or Pearl – with your choice having a pretty big impact on the game!
Should you choose Diamond or Pearl path?
In my opinion, the best option to choose here is the Pearl experience. This path will let you encounter an Origin Forme Palkia that knows Spacial Rend during Pokemon GO Tour: Sinnoh. Using this unique Adventure Effect will temporarily increase the distance that Pokemon spawn around you.
As you can probably imagine, this is going to come in very handy when you’re playing at home or from the office (I won’t tell anyone!) as you’ll be able to catch even more Pokemon. There are also no items that can replicate this effect, so it’s unique to Origin Forme Palkia.
On the other hand, the Diamond path will let you encounter an Origin Forme Dialga that knows Roar of Time during GO Tour: Sinnoh. Using this Adventure Effect will temporarily pause the timer on Incense, Lucky Eggs, and Star Pieces – which is great, but nothing is stopping you from just using another item.

What are the differences between Diamond and Pearl?
Your choice will impact the rewards for completing the Road To Sinnoh Special Research story as well as the bonuses you’ll enjoy during the Pokemon GO Fest: Sinnoh event.
Here are the main differences between the Diamond and Pearl experiences:
Diamond path
- Diamond Badge
- An encounter with Larvitar
- 100 Mega Tyranitar Energy
- Dialga Candy
- Encounter Dialga that knows Roar of Time (during GO Fest: Sinnoh)
- Roar of Time lasts twice as long (during GO Fest: Sinnoh)
Pearl path
- Pearl Badge
- An encounter with Bagon
- 100 Mega Salamence Energy
- Palkia Candy
- Encounter with Palkia that knows Spacial Rend (during GO Fest: Sinnoh)
- Spacial Rend lasts twice as long (during GO Fest: Sinnoh)
While I do think Origine Forme Palkia and Dialga should be your main focus here, it might be worth taking the Mega Energy reward into account – especially if you’ve not got Mega Tyranitar or Mega Salamence yet.
Ultimately, you should choose the path that feels right for you!
