Sunyshore City is home to your final badge, and the last major stop before the Pokémon League in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl.
Main Story¶
The main thing you’ll have to do here to advance to the League is get your final Gym badge.
In the bottom right part of the city, you’ll find the Lighthouse, which you have to visit before you can access the Gym. Travel up to find Volkner at the top, who will run back to the Gym. You can now go and challenge him.
Volkner uses Electric-type Pokémon, so prepare your Rock and Ground-types. He does have a bit of a nasty surprise in the form of 
Octillery, however, so make sure you have a counter to that. 
Ambipom also pops up, but a solid Fighting-type Pokémon will take it down.
You’ll get TM57 Zap Beam for your trouble.
Jasmine isn’t difficult to find, but won’t give you anything before you defeat Volkner
After defeating Volkner, there’s another major stop to make before you go on. Travel to the top of the city to find Jasmine, who will tell you she’s from the Johto region. She’ll give you TM99 Waterfall, which also happens to be the last Hidden Move you need to access the League.
Items¶
As with any city, there are a few major items to collect.
Poké Mart¶
If you visit the Poké Mart after defeating Volkner, all of the available items will be unlocked.

There are also a number of other items to be found around the city.

Other Locations¶
There’s an eastern house accessible only using Rock Climb. Head in there to find a Pokétch developer who has three different apps on offer - if you can show him Pokémon with the natures he desires.
| Nature | App |
|---|---|
| Serious | Calendar app |
| Naive | Dot Artist app |
| Quirky | Roulette app |
Julia, on the far right of the city, will tell you stories, as she’s quite lonely with her sailor husband gone. Listen to her stories to get different ribbons for your Pokémon, depending on the day of the week.

This city can be quite difficult to navigate due to its walkway that stretches to each location. Take your time and explore each opening, and you’ll soon find everything you need to.
After you’ve defeated Volkner, it’s time to move on and head north to the Pokémon League which you can now access. Make sure you’ve stocked up at the Poké Mart, as Victory Road can be quite the challenge.
