Solaceon Town (Locations & Items)

Discover all the items, berries, and key locations in Solaceon Town, including the Pokemon Nursery and News Press, in our Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl guide.

Alright, let's talk about Solaceon Town! It's a pretty chill spot with a couple of important places you'll want to check out, especially if you're looking to breed some Pokémon or grab some useful items. We'll cover the Pokémon Nursery, the Pokémon News Press, and what you can buy at the Poké Mart.

Pokémon Nursery

First up is the Pokémon Nursery. This is where the magic of Pokémon breeding happens! You can leave two Pokémon here, and if they're compatible, you might just get a Pokémon Egg when you return. It's a fantastic way to get more Pokémon or specific ones you might be missing.

Heads up: You can only leave two Pokémon at a time. Also, not all Pokémon can breed together. Legendaries, for instance, can't breed, and you'll need to look into Egg Groups to see which Pokémon are compatible. To get the Egg, you'll need to talk to the old man standing outside the Nursery. He'll offer you an Egg if you say 'Yes'. Once you have the Egg, you'll need to travel around for a bit to hatch it, just like any other Egg.

Pokémon News Press

Just to the right of the town entrance, you'll find a small house. Don't let its size fool you – this is the Pokémon News Press! Inside, you'll meet two men. The editor, the one on the left, has a special request for you.

He'll ask you to show him a specific Pokémon. If you have it, he'll reward you with three Poké Balls. The type of Balls can change each time, so it's always worth checking in! The Pokémon he asks for are usually pretty common and can be found nearby, so it's a good little side-quest. Just remember, you only have until the end of the day to show him the Pokémon, or you'll miss the deadline for that day.

Items

Like most towns, Solaceon has a Poké Mart where you can stock up on supplies. Here's what's available when you first arrive, and keep in mind that more items will unlock as you get more Gym Badges and progress through the game:

Item	Price
Poké Ball	200
Net Ball	1000
Nest Ball	1000
Potion	300
Super Potion	700
Antidote	100
Paralyze Heal	200
Awakening	250
Burn Heal	250
Ice Heal	250
Escape Rope	550
Repel	350

Also, over to the left of the Poké Mart, you'll find four trees. These trees are loaded with Berries! You can pluck them right off the trees, and you can even plant more in the soil if you want to grow your own supply.

Berry	Purpose
2 Persim Berry	If held by a Pokémon, this Berry will cure Confusion
4 Nanab Berry	A Poffin ingredient
2 Figy Berry	If held by a Pokémon, this Berry will restore their HP but may also cause Confusion if they hate the taste

Other Locations

That pretty much covers the main points of interest in Solaceon Town. You've got the Pokémon Center to heal your team, and a house with an NPC who gives some general advice about the Pokémon Nursery. Once you've explored everything and grabbed those berries, your next destination should be the Solaceon Ruins!
