How to Get the Bike in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

The bicycle is a common mode of transportation that allows your Pokémon trainer to travel between regions more quickly. Of course, there are means for getting from one end of the region to the other, such as employing Fly, but if you're just getting started, you'll have to manually get places. Fortunately, we'll gain access to the bike early on in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. This is how you obtain it.

How to get the bike in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Make your trip to Eterna City after receiving your first badge. Gardenia, the second Gym Leader, will be your opponent here. You'll be able to utilize the HM Cut outside of battle after defeating her. You'll need to use this to cut down little trees that are blocking your way.

Remove the tiny tree that is blocking your way into the Team Galactic headquarters. You'll have to fight your way past the members of the crime syndicate. Given that the game includes a permanent Exp. Share mechanic, facing Team Galactic at their HQ here shouldn't be too difficult. You will save Rad Rickshaw, the owner of the city's bike store if you defeat them. You saved him and his Clefairy, and he'll be eternally thankful. Rickshaw will then tell you to return to the shop and meet him there.

He will offer you a free bicycle if you return to the bike shop. This time, you have the option of choosing the color of your bike! However, the colors available are limited to red, blue, yellow, and green. It's still a good feature to be able to customize small details like this.

This bicycle, like those in subsequent Pokémon games, includes a gear system. It will shift gears if you push B. The gears can be moved to differentiate between speed and mobility, allowing the user to experiment. From your Key Items pocket, you can ride your bike.
