Before you venture into this exciting adventure, you will first have to complete the Regional or Sinnoh Pokedex in the game. So, you will have to capture around 150 Pokemons available in the Sinnoh Region. According to fans, it is fairly easy to complete the Sinnoh Pokedex with a little grind. Once you complete the Regional Pokedex, you can now begin the journey of collecting starter Pokemons of Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. Just head over to Professor Rowan’s Lab and talk to Professor Rowan. Professor Oak will also appear after you start the conversation and you will be told that your Pokedex has now been upgraded to National mode. This will unlock post-game content like the Grand Underground region where you can find all the starter Pokemons of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl.
To unlock Grand Underground entirely, you will have to visit Eterna City. Navigate to the house next to the Pokemon center in the city and talk to the old man, who is also referred to as the Underground Man. He will gift you the Explorer kit, which you can use to unlock the Grand Underground region. Now, enter the Grand Underground.
