► Today, I'll be showing off a way you can get to Newmoon Island in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl using the surf glitch! This method allows us to visit the currently inaccessible event area Newmoon Island, home of the Mythical Pokemon Darkrai! Unlike the surf glitch that lets us get to Flower Paradise, Darkrai is NOT available in the event area without the event flag being triggered.
