Learn how to complete the daily Newspaper Company task in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Get free Pokeballs and Heart Scales by bringing the right Pokémon to the reporter!
Hey there! Looking for a quick daily task in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl? There's a neat little side-quest you can do that's perfect for filling your day. Head over to the building right next to the Pokémon Center in Solaceon Town. Inside, you'll find a man at a desk who's looking for a specific Sinnoh Dex Pokémon each day.
Walkthrough
- 1Go to Solaceon Town and find the building next to the Pokémon Center.
- 2Talk to the man at the desk. He'll tell you which Sinnoh Dex Pokémon he wants you to find for his newspaper article.
- 3You have until 11:59 PM that same day to bring him the requested Pokémon. Make sure you catch or have the Pokémon ready!
- 4Once you bring him the correct Pokémon, he'll reward you with one random Pokeball and a Heart Scale.
Tips
- Controlling the Rewards: Want a specific Pokeball? You can actually manipulate what you get! Save your game right before you hand over the Pokémon. If you don't get the ball you want, reset your game and try again. Keep doing this until you get a ball like a Dusk Ball, Ultra Ball, or Timer Ball. Just remember, you can't get Park Balls, Master Balls, or Cherish Balls from him.
- Controlling the Request: It seems you can also influence which Pokémon he asks for! Save your game *before* you talk to him for the first time each day. If he asks for a Pokémon you don't want to catch or don't have, reset and talk to him again until he requests something you're prepared for.
- Daily Limit: This is a daily task, so make sure you complete it before midnight each day to get your rewards!
- 1 random Pokeball (excluding Park Ball, Master Ball, Cherish Ball)
- 1 Heart Scale
