Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Teal Mask DLC included a new Key Item called the Glimmering Charm that can be found in the post game. This guide will break down what it does and how you can earn it.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Teal Mask DLC included plenty of new additions to the base game, like new Legendaries, more returning Pokemon, and a new area to explore.

With the Indigo Disk set to release on December 14, 2023, trainers may be wondering how to get the new Glimmering Charm Key Item introduced in the Teal Mask before heading into the second DLC expansion.

This guide will break down how trainers can earn the Glimmering Charm and what benefits it gives.

How to get the Glimmering Charm in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Earning the Glimmering Charm in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Teal Mask DLC will be a daunting task, as it requires trainers to fully complete the Kitakami Pokedex.

You can receive the Glimmering Charm by speaking with Professor Jacq after completing the Kitakami Pokedex. He is located just past the bridge outside of the Mossui Community Center when heading towards Kitakami Hall.

In total, the Kitakami Pokedex features 200 Pokemon. Though some of those entries carry over from the base game, there are 125 brand-new Pokemon to catch. On top of that three entries will be version exclusives.

Completing the Kitakami Pokedex is simply a matter of checking which Pokemon you have and haven’t caught, and then finding them out in the wild.

What does the Glimmering Charm do?

The Glimmering Charm is a Key Item that increases the number of Tera Shards you receive after completing Tera Raid Battles.

These can be used at the Medali Treasure Eatery to change the Tera Type of your Pokemon once you’ve beaten the gym leader.

3+2 extra Tera Shards
4+5 extra Tera Shards
5+10 extra Tera Shards
6+12 extra Tera Shards

Like the Shiny Charm and the Exp. Charm, the Glimmering Charm is a passive item. This means that as long as you have it, the Charm will provide its bonus without any special input.

And that’s everything players need to know about earning the Glimmering Charm in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. Those looking to find out more about Pokemon Scarlet & Violet can check out our other guides below:
