[2] VERSION UPDATES [S002]
===============================================================================
1.60 :: 21st May 2009
Several corrections, stuff like that. I'm getting to the point where I'm being
lazy and letting e-mails rack up, so I had about 84 to look through this time -
not a good thing! I think I ignored quite a lot of them, so feel free to resend
your e-mails if there was something important that I haven't answered back to.
I'll probably do the GTS and other sections I haven't filled out somewhat soon
too probably. The Wi-Fi Plaza is pretty good from what I've tried, now that I
can actually understand it.
1.50 :: 23rd April 2009
Some corrections, additions and stuff. I can't update too much now since I'm
kinda busy.
1.40 :: 8th April 2009
Added a bunch of edits and new information to the walkthrough based on the many
e-mails I've received in regards to it; thank you for your corrections and
additions! Otherwise there isn't much to say, I've still got a few sections
empty and stuff. I need to play the American Platinum, but Tales of Symphonia
is too addictive. Heh ;-; I still need clarification on a few things and I
forgot to add half of the DP -> Plat changes, so you may need to resend e-mails
that had those as the subject D=.
1.20 :: 26th March 2009
A bunch of updates with stuff I missed out since I didn't see it such as a
Quick Claw being in Jublife, as well as fixing several titles and adding AR
codes to the AR section thanks to a sender (the Game ID is there too if you
require that). Thank you to all of the readers who sent new information in;
it's pretty much all been added. I haven't given actual named credit to anyone
except two people but those who sent in info like the Quick Claw, Zap Plate
location etc know who they are. Thank you again.
1.10 :: 19th March 2009
A small update to just add the majority of the English names given to the new
things in this game, such as the Platinum Orb now being the Griseous Orb and
the new Frontier Brain names/titles, etc.
1.05 :: 14th March 2009
Updated the FAQ question with two questions I have got thus far. Also added
a small bit of text to the parent influences part in the breeding section
because I forgot to mention that the Everstone breeding thing only works if
both parents are the same language. Also added a tidbit in the Gracidea
Flower section about what Shaymin can actually activate the event.
1.00 :: 11th March 2009
The majority of the walkthrough is completed; there are some sections with no
content in them but the actual walkthrough has been finished.
===============================================================================
[3] INTRODUCTION [S003]
===============================================================================
Pokemon is a franchise that has spanned several 'generations', currently up to
four. The whole franchise started with the Red and Green versions in Japan back
in 1996 and since then the game has evolved into a franchise that spans many
different features including games, toys, an anime, trading cards and a fair
bit more.
In 1998, Red & Green were released as Red & Blue in the United States, which
featured graphics from Japan's own Pokemon Blue which was a game similar to
Red and Green but with extra features such as Jynx in Seafoam Islands and Ditto
in Rock Tunnel. The anime had actually been aired in the US beforehand but the
games quickly became a huge hit. The same happened in Europe with the Pokemon
games' release in 1999, ten years ago from now. Later on, a third version was
released to compliment Red and Blue, specifically Pokemon Yellow. The release
of a third version with additional features came to be a reoccuring trend in
the franchise. Yellow brought some new ideas to the table and is the only game
to date to have a Pokemon following a trainer within the game (specifically
Pikachu.) Pokemon Yellow also changed Wild Pokemon, gave Gym Leaders new teams
and even added a surfing Pikachu minigame. Spin-off titles were also released
to compliment these games, including Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Stadium on the
Nintendo 64 and Pokemon Pinball on the Gameboy Colour.
Come late 1999 for Japan and late 2000 for the United States and probably early
2001 for Europe, Pokemon Gold and Silver were released. These started the 2nd
generation of Pokemon, adding 100 new Pokemon. Some were actually evolutions of
those who had lived in the Kanto region where the first generation was set,
such as Kingdra and Blissey but the majority were entirely new species. This
second generation was received very well, also receiving spin-off titles such
as Pokemon Stadium 2. The third game in the series turned out to be Pokemon
Crystal, which focused on Suicune as a main legendary. It was also unique in
that it was the first Pokemon game to allow the player to be a female - in all
of the other games previously you had to be male. This generation was also the
first one who use a real-time clock to determine whether it was Morning, Day
or Night and the Wild Pokemon changed depending on this clock.
2002-03 saw the release of the next generation in Pokemon, namely Pokemon Ruby
and Pokemon Sapphire. Adding another 135 new Pokemon, the region of Hoenn was
totally new and many new features were introduced such as full-colour graphics,
proper growing berry trees, double battles and new HMs. These games featured
on the Gameboy Advance and played the same as their ancestors at their core.
The third generation was the one who have the highest number of games to date,
as in the following years many games were released, including Colosseum, the
first 3D Pokemon RPG, (though differing incredibly from the normal formula,
instead pursuring 'Shadow Pokemon') remakes of the original Red and Green
versions entitled Pokemon Fire Red & Leaf Green which supported many of the
new features of Ruby/Sapphire and eventually Pokemon Emerald, the third game
in the series which introduced many new features to the games and focusing on
Rayquaza as the main legendary. Emerald was the first to introduce special
ability effects, the Battle Frontier, cinematic cutscenes and a fairly changed
story. It also featured an entirely different font from the Ruby/Sapphire duo.
Pokemon XD was also released as a sequel to Pokemon Colosseum on the Gamecube,
following the same quest of Shadow Pokemon and the eradication of Cipher.
There was also the release of games such as Pokemon Trozei, Pokemon Ranger and
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.
Then in 2006-07, the fourth generation of Pokemon was released on the Nintendo
DS. Entitled Diamond & Pearl, these two games were the first portable games
to use psuedo-3D graphics, as well as add yet another 107 Pokemon to the mix.
Many of these new Pokemon were in reality evolutions of older Pokemon such as
Electabuzz, Magmar, Roselia, etcetera or pre-evolutions of Pokemon such as
Chansey and Roselia but there were also new Pokemon such as the starters,
Starly, Kricketune, etcetera. Taking place in the Sinnoh region, these two
games featured the biggest Pokemon RPG to date. Introducing things such as use
of the touch screen, the Underground and the biggest battle change in the
Physical/Special split - attacks were now classified according to how they
work rather than what their type was. This changed some Pokemon massively,
giving some like Sneasel (who evolved into Weavile in DP) a huge advantage
while causing some Pokemon who used physical Hidden Power types some hardships
for now Hidden Power was always special, regardless of type. Diamond and Pearl
also received complimentary games, including Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers
of Time and Darkness, Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia and the 3D battler of
the generation, Pokemon Battle Revolution. Come September 13th 2008 in Japan,
the third version of Diamond and Pearl, Platinum, was released, centering
on Giratina and introducing one of the best Pokemon adventures to grace the
series so far (in my opinion, anyway.)
Nowadays, there are 493 Pokemon total and every Pokemon you catch consists of
HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed stats. They all
have one of twenty-five 'natures', and also have an 'ability' to call their
own that can help them in battle and depending on the ability, help the trainer
outside the battlefield as well. Some Pokemon can even get one of two different
abilities. Despite Pokemon being of the same species, it cannot be denied that
each member of the species has a lot of variation in them. While each member of
the species will turn out similar (unlike the Fire Emblem series where the RNG
can cause a unit to be good in one playthrough and absolutely awful in the next)
there will be some difference. But the thing that gives Pokemon the replay value
is that you only have a team of six but many choices; it's worth playing again
to try out some other Pokemon that you may not have used on your first go of
the game. Now I'm on a tangent, blah. This should summarize the franchise,
anyhow.
===============================================================================
[4] DIFFERENCES BETWEEN D/P AND PLATINUM [S004]
===============================================================================
Of course, being the third version, there are going to be differences, pretty
much all of them adding to the gameplay at hand. A list of all of the changes
is below.
1. The Sinnoh Dex has been revamped. While previously holding only 151 Pokemon
it now goes up to 210. The new 59 Pokemon consist of all of the new Sinnoh
Pokemon that were originally only available when getting the National Dex
(such as Electivire, Gallade) etc as well as their pre-evolutions (such as
Ralts, Magmar, Yanma) and a few other welcome additions such as Houndour and
Swablu. All Sinnoh Dex Pokemon except for Manaphy, Phione, Dialga and Palkia
are available before you get the National Dex. The only new Sinnoh Pokemon that
are not in the Sinnoh Dex are the legendaries such as Heatran, Cresselia etc.
2. The ability to rebattle Gym Leaders has been restored, in a new area in the
Survival Area called the Top Trainer Cafe. The Elite Four now have a second
round ala Fire Red and Leaf Green where the Elite Four's Pokemon are several
levels higher, as well.
3. The gym order has been swapped around; though still displaying as the fifth
badge, the Hearthome Gym is now the third gym, the Veilstone fourth and the
Pastoria Gym fifth respectively.
4. Amity Square has had a revamp. Some of the gyms have also had a revamp,
including the Eterna Gym, Veilstone Gym and especially the Hearthome Gym.
5. There is some 'snow' in the area around Twinleaf Town. It has little impact
on the game, however.
6. The male and female characters (Dawn & Lucas) as well as the rival all have
new costumes, most notably being longer sleeved.
7. Nearly every Pokemon in the Sinnoh Dex has been given a new sprite, as well
as those legendaries introduced in Diamond and Pearl. This does not apply to
any others except for a few oddities such as Ninetales.
8. Some of the TMs & HMs around Sinnoh have been located; most notably, HM05
and HM04 are no longer in the Great Marsh or the Safari Zone, instead lying in
different areas. A few of the items have also appeared in new areas, most
notably the items required to evolve into the new Sinnoh Pokemon such as the
Electrizer, Magmarizer and the Dubious Disc (as well as the Up-grade).
9. Wild Pokemon on the whole have had some edits. For example, you can catch
Gligar and Nosepass on Route 206, Ralts on Route 208, Houndour on Route 214
etcetera.
10. Gym Leaders and Elite Four members have new teams as well as new levels.
On the whole, they are harder than before. New teams incorporate the newly
added Sinnoh Dex Pokemon - some of the Gym Leaders even have new 'main'
Pokemon. For example, Volkner's main Pokemon is no longer a Luxray.
11. The 'secret' part of the Wayward Cave is now accessible anytime. The rock
that originally barred entry unless you had Strength has now been removed,
meaning that cave can be explored to the end of the secret passage. This means
you can catch Gible and pick up TM26 Earthquake much earlier than before.
12. Elite Four members now have a completely unique battle background, each
one of them having a main colour theme of whatever their type is (except
Cynthia, of course, who has a purple/white mix). They look amazing.
13. Some of the Swarm Pokemon have been changed. For example, Pidgey is now
a normal Wild Pokemon on Route 229, but a swarm is needed to find Pinsir there.
14. Move tutors have been added to Sinnoh; there are three each teaching a
selection of moves infinite times. You have to pay them in shards.
15. One of the previously secret Poketch applications in DP can now be gotten
normally in Platinum (the Luvdisc one, specifically.)
16. The Veilstone Department Centre now has a basement containing a variety of
berries and Poffins, which is helpful if you want to evolve Feebas without
going through all of the trouble of making good Poffins or something. You can
also buy Lava Cookies in this basement.
17. Some new areas have been added, the most major of which are the Distortion
World which plays a large role in the storyline and the Battle Frontier, which
is similar to the frontier in Emerald.
18. A new Key Item called the Battle Recorder features. This allows you to
record either a Battle Frontier match or a Wi-Fi battle.
19. The Global Trade Station (GTS) in Jubilife has expanded to include extra
features such as allowing you to upload or download Battle Recorder videos.
There are also features allowing you to see other people's box designs or
Pokemon Super Contest decorations. There are two rooms dealing with Battle
Recorder videos - one allows you to view the most popular, while the other
lets you upload videos and find specific videos using a code.
20. The Pokemon which cannot be obtained within the game have changed. However
some Pokemon that could not be obtained in DP such as Tangela and Tropius are
now available within Platinum.
21. Platinum gives new forms, or as Nintendo spells it 'formes', to a total of
three Pokemon - Rotom (who gets five new forms), Giratina and Shaymin.
22. There are some new items such as the Gracidea Flower which allows Shaymin
to change into its Sky Forme or the Griseous Orb that lets Giratina change
into its Origin Forme when equipped.
23. The Wi-Fi room has been changed. It is now a room similar to the Union Room
in the GBA games but you can still ask to trade, battle etcetera. Entering
friend codes is also much easier. Instead of using the menu with letters and
etc to enter it with it being locked to numbers, there is a new window with
the 10 possible numbers that you can hit very easily with your stylus on the
touchscreen to enter the friend code.
24. The Old Chateau event with Rotom is now available as soon as you finish
the Galactic Hideout in Eterna City.
25. Key Items to get specific events such as the Secret Key for Rotom or the
Member's Card for Darkrai are now distributed on Wi-Fi by Nintendo, however
it is for limited times so you will not always be able to get it unfortunately.
26. You must now see all 210 Pokemon to get the National Dex, instead of 150.
Yes, this includes Manaphy. Thankfully you can see it. Phione is not in the
Sinnoh Dex so that does not need to be seen.
27. Some of the levels of event Pokemon have been changed. Drifloon is now 15,
Giratina is 47, Dialga & Palkia are 70, Regigigas is 1 (yes, level one) Heatran
is 50 and Darkrai is 50.
28. The Spear Pillar quest has changed quite a bit with the addition of the
Torn World. The Galactic Headquarters has also been revamped very slightly.
29. You are able to get your own house in the Resort Area. You can furnish it
and occasionally get visitors.
30. Partners such as Cheryl, Mira and Riley can now be battled against in the
Survival Area's Top Trainer Cafe.
31. Both Dialga and Palkia can now both be caught, like Groudon and Kyogre
could be in Emerald. It is now possible to catch Regirock, Regice and Registeel
in Platinum as well with specific conditions. Lastly, Articuno, Zapdos and
Moltres are also available, which seems random to me but it's useful.
32. The rival can be battled outside the Top Trainer Cafe every weekend. It is
possible for his level to rise and at the end his Pokemon team will actually
have higher levels than Red's team in GSC did, all of his team reaching 79+.
33. The partners you travel with also have new levels, being about five levels
higher than they were in DP.
34. Stark Mountain and Route 227 have been revamped. Route 227 now features a
few lava pools near the mountain and Stark Mountain itself has a lava-like hue
inside. The actual layout of the places remain the same. The Great Marsh has
had a complete graphical revamp also, now containing more navy blue hues than
the previous muddy brown.
35. There is now a Wi-Fi Plaza that allows you to play mini-games with your
friends. It seems quite fun.
36. Foreign Dex Entries can now be obtained for any of the 493 Pokemon, rather
than jut a select few.
37. A lot of trainers around Sinnoh have different Pokemon, many teams having
new Sinnoh Dex Pokemon to allow you to complete your PokeDex.
38. Some of the PokeRadar Pokemon have changed, for example there is no longer
any specific PokeRadar Pokemon on Route 218.
39. The mansion Pokemon have also changed slightly. Porygon is no longer there
but now Ditto is only obtainable from there, for example.
40. There are some more gift Pokemon to get other than the Riolu egg that Riley
gives you in D/P. While this egg still stays, you can now get a Togepi egg in
Eterna City, an Eevee from Bebe in Hearthome City (same place as D/P but now
you can get it anytime) and a Porygon from a house in Veilstone City.
41. Battles as a whole are speedier than D/P.
42. Some specific trainers have animations when they first enter battle -
namely, the rival, Gym Leaders, Elite Four members and partners like Cheryl.
43. HP Bars are now a sleek black instead of the usual white.
44. Surf speed is now equal to that of the ADV games, rather than D/P.
45. Special battles such as Gym Leaders and Elite Four members will have a
special VS. animation before the battle starts.
46. The Poketch has had a slight graphical remake and now the up/down buttons
actually go the proper directions rather than both going forward.
47. One or two moves such as Hidden Power and Razor Leaf have new animations.
48. Platinum possesses an entirely new game intro movie.
49. The cutscene at Spear Pillar is totally different.
50. Area signs when you enter an area are stylized according to the type of
area, ie the Lake Verity one has a lake background.
51. Moomoo Milk can now be bought in batches rather than one at a time.
52. Giratina, if missed in the Distortion World, can be caught in a totally
different area (Turnback Cave.) This is the first time you've been able to
catch the same legendary in two different places, I believe, ignoring runners.
53. Honey can be bought in batches of ten, as well as singuarly.

[5] POKEMON PLATINUM MAIN WALKTHROUGH [S005]
===============================================================================
The walkthrough starts here!
===============================================================================
[000] BEGINNING NOTES [MW000]
===============================================================================
Before the actual walkthrough does start, I must note down some stuff that you
may need to know to comprehend the acronyms and whatnot. I will be assuming
you can catch Pokemon, control it and all that since it is incredibly simple
to do. For listing the Wild Pokemon in the area, it shall be done as follows:
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
| POKEMON | TYPE | EVO. METHOD | RAR | LVLs FOUND | FIND METHOD |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Starly | Normal/Flying | N/A | 50% | 2, 3, 4 | Grass |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
POKEMON is the name of the creature, TYPE are the types of the Pokemon. EVO.
METHOD is what must be done to get this Pokemon to evolve - if it is level,
it will say level and also list the level it evolves at. Otherwise it could
say Happiness, [Element] Stone, Beauty, Time, Item etcetera. There are a fair
few possibilites. RAR is short for rarity and it will be listed with the
percentage of how often you find it. This would be like taking it from a sample
of 100 wild Pokemon - obviously you could get lucky and find a 2% Pokemon many
times or never find a 60% Pokemon but on the whole it will show how rare it is.
LVLs FOUND is short for levels found and will list the possible levels for the
Pokemon to be at. Finally, the find method is how the Pokemon is found. This
field can include any of the following:
:: Grass - Walking in the grass.
:: Surf - Surfing on the water.
:: Rock Smash - Breaking rocks.
:: Event - Found in an event ie receiving your starter Pokemon from the bag.
:: Fishing O - Fishing with the Old Rod.
:: Fishing G - Fishing with the Good Rod.
:: Fishing S - Fishing with the Super Rod.
:: Fishing OG - Fishing with the Old or Good Rod.
:: Fishing OGS - Fishing with any of the rods.
:: Fishing [letters] - You get the idea.
:: Grass (R) - In the Grass with Ruby equipped. Post National-Dex only.
:: Grass (S) - In the Grass with Sapphire equipped. Post National-Dex only.
(It may also be with Fire Red (FR), Leaf Green (LG) or Emerald (E). As always,
post National-Dex only.)
:: PokeRadar - Found in the grass with a Key Item you receive after you get the
National Dex. Post National-Dex only, obviously.
:: Swarm - Appears in the case of a route swarm as seen in Sandgem Town. Post
National-Dex only.
:: Garden - In the Trophy Garden Pokemon list, Pokemon with this find method
will be seen there. It means that they can be in the garden but only on one
day. This day is entirely random.
Each route will have three seperate lists, one each for each time of the day.
They will be shown each time a new area is explored that has Wild Pokemon you
can access at the time.
The Pokemon that you may face from the trainers will also be listed before
the walkthrough to each area starts. As always, these will only show if there
are actually trainers in this area.
You should also note that you can delete your save file by pressing B, SELECT
and UP on the Giratina screen. This must be done to successfuly save a new
file onto the game cartridge.
You can also soft reset the game at any time by pressing the button combination
L + R + START + SELECT. This is helpful if you accidentally kill a legendary,
for example.
In addition, the following Pokemon are now in the Sinnoh Dex:
Rotom, Gligar, Gliscor, Nosepass, Probopass, Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir, Gallade,
Lickitung, Eevee, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon,
Swablu, Altaria, Togepi, Togetic, Togekiss, Houndour, Houndoom, Magnemite,
Magneton, Magnezone, Tangela, Tangrowth, Yanma, Yanmega, Tropius, Rhyhorn,
Rhydon, Rhyperior, Duskull, Dusclops, Dusknoir, Porygon, Porygon2, Porygon-Z,
Scyther, Scizor, Elekid, Electabuzz, Electivire, Magby, Magmar, Magmortar,
Swinub, Piloswine, Mamoswine, Snorunt, Glalie, Froslass, Absol, Giratina
In addition, these Pokemon CANNOT be found in Diamond, Pearl or Platinum:
Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Squirtle,
Wartortle, Blastoise, Mewtwo, Mew, Chikorita, Bayleef, Meganium, Cyndaquil,
Quilava, Typhlosion, Totodile, Croconaw, Feraligatr, Raikou, Entei, Suicune,
Lugia, Ho-oh, Celebi, Treecko, Grovyle, Sceptile, Torchic, Combusken, Blaziken,
Mudkip, Marshtomp, Swampert, Latias, Latios, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Jirachi,
Deoxys.
These Pokemon can be found in Diamond OR Pearl but NOT Platinum:
Misdreavus, Mismagius, Murkrow, Honchkrow, Stunky, Skuntank, Glameow, Purugly,
Trapinch, Vibrava, Flygon, Clamperl, Huntail, Gorebyss.
Keep this in mind for the walkthrough. Now, let us start Pokemon Platinum!
===============================================================================
[001] TWINLEAF TOWN [MW001]
===============================================================================
YOUR HOUSE
------------
Before starting, you must name yourself and your rival, as always, as well as
choose your gender. Whatever you choose makes no difference to the gameplay,
so pick as to your preferences. Get through Rowan's monotonous speeches (hold
down A to make it go faster) until you reach the end of it and are actually
in your house.
Before you get to start, you will be shown a TV Report about something which
I currently cannot tell you, but it has a picture of Rowan's lab. You'll be
able to press A after a few seconds.
As soon as you start, press X and go down to options (three down from the top)
and press right on the first one (Text) to set it to fast. This makes it much
more bearable if you read at a good speed. The other two are incredibly slow.
The rest of the options are to your choosing. Battle Style, changed to Set,
can make it so you aren't able to switch when the opponent switches like in
the Battle Frontier, which can make the game a slight bit more of a challenge.
Battle scene can turn the attack animations on and off. Button mode can stop
your A button wearing away as fast, perhaps. Frame is always fun to customize.
You should note that Platinum has new frames from D/P, including a classic
GSC frame (#18). Make sure to exit with the bottom option to save the settings
you chose, then save your game. Note that if you wanted to start a New Game
then you would have to do B + Select + Up at the Giratina intro screen then
delete your file before you could save a new one.
When you start, move one square in any direction and your rival will come up
the stairs and start talking to you. Once he stops, go downstairs and your
mother, Johanna, will also come talk to you. She tells you that your rival
asked you to go to his house, so do so. But not before she stops you at the
door and tells you to beware of Pokemon. Pretty typical mother there.
Attempt to enter the rival's house and he will come out and bump into you. He
starts heading to the lake then stops and goes back inside again. Silly boy~
Follow him inside the house to end up talking to him again and watch him leave
and threaten you with a ten million fine, then follow him. Again. This time,
head out of Twinleaf north to meet up with him. Ugh.
ROUTE 201
----------
All Times
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
| POKEMON | TYPE | EVO. METHOD | RAR | LVLs FOUND | FIND METHOD |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Chimchar | Fire | Level 14 | N/A | Level 5 | Event |
|Piplup | Water | Level 16 | N/A | Level 5 | Event |
|Turtwig | Grass | Level 18 | N/A | Level 5 | Event |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After your rival talks about something, Rowan makes his first appearance.
Answer yes to his question, then after some more dialogue Dawn will come along
with Prof. Rowan's briefcase. You can now choose the starter Pokemon of your
choice from the briefcase - just press A on it. None of them make the game
particuarly hard and they're all worth using. Infernape and Torterra are
probably better than Empoleon but overall it makes little difference. Just
choose who you want to - there are other Pokemon to fill the type gaps. If you
want to save before you battle, save just before you pick your Pokemon.
Rowan and Dawn will leave, then your rival will ask if you want to battle.
When you say yes, you will be thrown into a battle.
[ RIVAL BATTLE #1 ]
o---------------------------------------o
|- If you chose Chimchar... - |

| :: Chimchar Male Lv. 5 | EXP: 69 |
o---------------------------------------o
REWARDS: $500
STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
With no elemental attacks, this battle is a simple brawl. Just keep attacking
with your main attacking move and use the secondary move if neccessary. It
can be somewhat luck if the rival attacks a lot since you have no way to get
your Pokemon's HP to recover. Don't worry if you lose! Piplup users particuarly
might have a problem because of Turtwig's tendency to Withdraw about six times,
so you might have to pray for a Critical Hit. Using Growl six times to reduce
Turtwig's attack power might be worth it, for this will reduce Turtwig to about
1 or a rare 2 damage per attack, as will you be because of Turtwig's Withdraws.
You must Growl to win pretty much because you WILL lose a straight-out attack
fight with Turtwig. If you do lose, you will have to give up $40 and a free
level for your starter, but nothing more.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
YOUR HOUSE
------------
After this INCREDIBLY ANNOYING BATTLE (if you chose Piplup) you will go back
to your house. Johanna will talk to you a bit and then you will get the Running
Shoes, meaning you can go faster anywhere just by holding B! Very convenient.
Head out of the house and go back into Route 201, with double speed.
===============================================================================
[002] ROUTE 201 & LAKE VERITY [MW002]
===============================================================================
ROUTE 201
----------
Once you are here you will meet up with your rival again, who will persuade
the both of you to go to Lake Verity which is west of Twinleaf. Head left, then
up to reach the entrance to the lake, and enter.
LAKE VERITY
------------
All Times
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
| POKEMON | TYPE | EVO. METHOD | RAR | LVLs FOUND | FIND METHOD |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Starly | Normal/Flying | Level 14 | 50% | 2, 3, 4 | Grass |
|Bidoof | Normal | Level 15 | 50% | 2, 3, 4 | Grass |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
When you enter Lake Verity you will quickly catch sight of a blue haired man
looking over the lake. Those of you who have played Diamond or Pearl will
recognize him already. After he leaves, the two of you will hear a mysterious
cry. After some more dialogue, the rival will leave and you can then go too.
If you want to battle some of the Pokemon, feel free to. ~2 battles should get
your starter to Level 7. Leave when you want.

We're now able to go through this route properly. You can go into Twinleaf and
into your house to heal first if you like by talking with Johanna. After that,
go through this route to the east. Defeat any Wild Pokemon you come across
and enter Sandgem Town.
===============================================================================

| POKE MART LISTING |
o-----------------------------o
| :: Poke Ball $200 |
| :: Potion $300 |
| :: Antidote $100 |
| :: Parlyz Heal $200 |
o-----------------------------o
As soon as you enter Sandgem, Dawn/Lucas will talk to you. They will show you
to the lab, then your rival will come out, bump into you and run off again.
You'll then be taken inside the lab. Rowan will check your starrter and let you
nickname it after that. Then a small music switch occurs and Rowan asks you a
question. Say yes to get the PokeDex! At this point there should be 2 to 5
Pokemon in your PokeDex, depending on whether if you've seen Starly, Bidoof or
Kricketot or not. Rowan will also appear at the door when you leave and give you
your first TM of the game, TM27 Return. With a Pokemon that has max happiness,
this can come in very useful with a base power of 102.
You'll then be given the tour of the town's facilities. Blah blah blah. Enter
the Pokemart and buy some equipment if you wish, then head back to Twinleaf.
Route 201
----------
Item: Potion
Talk to the shop guy in the north of the grass to get a free Potion. Continue
heading back to Twinleaf afterwards.
Twinleaf Town
--------------
Go back to your house, then talk to Johanna. You'll be healed, tell her you're
going on a trip then receieve the Journal that documents the noteworthy moments
in your gameplay. After that your rival's mother will come in, looking for him.
Of course he's gone, so you get given the task to deliver a Parcel to him. Hm.
Wonder what it is. After that, head back to Sandgem Town.
Route 201
----------
Same old same old.
Sandgem Town
-------------
Heal in the Poke Center if needed, then go down to Route 219.
Route 219

Attempt to enter the grass on Route 202 and Dawn will talk to you and quickly
give you a tutorial on catching Pokemon, then she will give you 5 Pokeballs
before leaving towards Jubilife. Go through the route, battling the trainers
for about 60 exp a battle. Once you beat the Burmy trainer, head straight west,
pick up the Potion in the grass, then turn north into Jubilife City.
===============================================================================
[005] JUBILIFE CITY [MW005]

o-----------------------------o-----------------------o
When you enter the city Dawn will talk to you and lead you into the center of
Jubilife. You will then end up seeing some guy dodging between the lamposts,
who then ends up talking to you seconds later. This is the Infernational Police
Officer, Looker (who really should have kept his Japanese codename of Handsome)
who after talking to you a fair bit will give you the new Key Item called the
Battle Recorder. This allows you to keep some battles and also download some
from the GTS. It will also become your Battle Pass later - quite useful.
The building above the market also has a Quick Claw inside if you talk to one
of the people there.
After that, heal up in the Pokemon Center then head to the building directly to
the left of it - the Pokemon Trainers' School.
Trainers' School
-----------------
Items: X Attack, Potion
Trainers' Pokemon: Starly L6, Bidoof L6
When you get in, go to the far left, pick up the X Attack then talk to the
rival to give him the Parcel. He'll open it and find it's a Town Map but also
find there are two in there, so he gives one to you. Excellent. Just look it up
in the Key Items if you need to know where to go~
The rival will then leave. You can go to the right and battle the two people
here for some experience. Defeating both of them then talking to the guy will
yield a Potion. Why they got rid of the TM10 you used to get here is beyond
my understanding ;-;. Once you're done, head back into Jubilife City.
Jubilife City
--------------
Items: Potion
As always, heal if you need to, then head north to talk to a guy, who is in fact
the president of the Poketch company, who will tell you to find three clowns for
Poketch coupons. Talk to the one behind the Pokemon Center to get the first one.
Then head north towards the tall grey building with the TV screen on the front
and talk to the second clown to get another coupon. Lastly, head further west
and talk to the clown outside the building with the flags to get the last one.
(The answer is Yes to all of the questions, by the way.) Then go back to the
Poketch President and talk to him to get the Poketch! Now the bottom screen has
a use outside battle. Excellent =O By the way, there is a Potion in an alley
just below the clown you get Pokecoupon 2 frmo.
Head west from Jubilife into Route 218.

Talk to the fisherman in the gatehouse for the Old Rod. Then head outside and
across the pier to pick up an X Accuarcy. Fish for a Magikarp if you want. There
are obviously more Wild Pokemon in this route but for now that is all you can
get. Turn back into Jubilife when you're done.

* When using the Old Rod, Magikarp appears from 3-15 with a rarity of 100%, but
with the Good Rod it has a rarity of 65% and can appear from 10-25.
Though we currently cannot explore this route to its fullest, we can still look
at the southern part of it, which contains EXP and Wild Pokemon. You can also
get a Budew here, which is the first Grass-type apart from Turtwig you can get
for a little while. Battle the trainers and head inside the cave.
By the way, much later on when you get Surf, you can Surf across some water
here to pick up a Sea Incense.

As soon as you enter the route, SAVE YOUR GAME. Make sure your team is ready to
battle, then continue going right on the route.
Nearly straight away, you will see your rival and he will see you, challenging
you to a battle. No way to get out of this one. Or any of them for that matter.
I will also show you what my team is at certain points so you can get a decent
idea of what the average level might be around this point. Granted I got bored
and started giving Piplup a level or two in Route 201 but there we go.

STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Your rival has now added a Starly to his team but it is not very problematic
unless you have a Turtwig. In any case it does not have Wing Attack so Turtwig
can battle against it but you'll pretty much have to use Tackle. Once you've
beaten Starly, he will send his starter out.
For Piplup users, having a Starly will make this stage of the battle easier.
Starly's Wing Attack can pretty sustainably 2HKO it. Chimchar and Piplup are
fairly frail, so you can take them down with ease no matter your starter. Be
wary that they DO have the elemental attacks now, meaning they can score a
Super-Effective hit on your own starter. Otherwise it is pretty much a normal
battle. Finish it, claim your money and the rival will run off.
Weave through the trees, battling the trainers, keep going up the route. Veer
left at the top through the grass to get the X Defend and Repel if you wish,
then head into the cave entrance of Oreburgh Gate.

Enter and walk forward to get called a noob. I just love the slight internet
language in these games now. He'll take you automatically to the gym where your
rival is positioned outside it. Talk to the rival if you wish and he will tell
you that the Gym Leader has gone to Oreburgh Mine. We'll have to follow after
him, then. Before we do so, go into the Pokemon Center and heal your Pokemon
as always. Note that you can now descend to the Wi-Fi level if you wish to do
so and it will be unlocked in all of the towns you went to previously (except
Twinleaf because it doesn't have a Pokemon Center). If you do go downstairs
you will get your Pal Pad which allows you to record friend codes and actually
do something with Wi-Fi. You will be referring to it a lot if you like to use
Wi-Fi. Simply enter the Wi-Fi room once to get your Friend Code.
If you wish to get an Abra, catch a Machop in Route 207 south (which you can
find north of Oreburgh) and talk to the young girl in the house in the north
of the city next to the Pokemart. The level will equal the Machop you trade
to her and it will always be Mild, I think. Or at least I thought it would be
until Chrome noticed that the nature actually depends on your ID number! I
don't know which nature corresponds to which number but it is definitely
affected by the ID number.
The Pokemart equipment will get better later on - it improves as we get badges.
It will probably be improved slightly once we get our first badge~ Also, note
the large building north of the Pokemon Center. This is where you can revive
fossils that you might pick up in the underground - called the Oreburgh Mining
Museum. If you go inside and talk to the man at the counter with a fossil in
your inventory you will be able to revive it into a L20 Pokemon, depending on
the fossil.
There's little else to do in Oreburgh, so head down to the mining part. If you
head south then go left past the gap in the barrier and north again you can
pick up two items. Search the slag heap/rock like structure right above these
items to find a hidden Pearl and Heart Scale in two different tiles (the Heart
Scale is behind where the builder sometimes walks so you may need to wait for
him to move). In addition, if you go to the south-east corner and talk to the
builder there, you will get a Super Potion. Chrome also found a house around
here somewhere where a man will give you another Pearl. They give you far too
many of these D:
There's also a Great Ball in the house to the far east of Oreburgh. If you talk
to the youngster on the second floor you'll get it, but apparently as kjax32246
reports, only if the lead Pokemon has a high happiness rating.
There is also, as reported by the same person, a Dusk Ball on the second floor
of the northwest house given by a girl.
Afterwards, head into the mine.

If you want any of those three Pokemon I would recommend catching them here
due to the increased levels from 1F. Either way, head down the passage and turn
right. Talk to the builder next to the wall to initiate a battle, finish it
then grab the Potion. From there, head further west and talk to Roark, who is
positioned between two rocks. He'll tell you about Rock Smash then return to
his gym, so we can now battle him for the Coal Badge! Before we leave, head
further right and talk to this builder too to initiate another battle. Once
you've finished that battle, head left and pick up the Escape Rope. You can
either leave the mines by using it or just walking out normally. Either way,
make your way back to Oreburgh City. Note that you can also go through this
room via the left and jump down the ledge to get to Roark.

Those of you who have picked Piplup or Turtwig will find this gym fairly easy.
Chimchar users may want to either use a Budew or Psyduck or evolve Chimchar so
that it learns Mach Punch as a Monferno and loses its Rock weakness. As a Rock
type gym, you will be facing just a few rock types altogether. Monferno, Piplup
or Turtwig should be able to hold their own fine. Note that Monferno's Ember
will still do a fair bit to the Geodude because of their poor special defense
stat. Once you've beaten the first two trainers, walk up to Roark and save.
Then initiate the battle with him. Some dialogue, then the battle begins.

STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
As always, Turtwig's Razor Leaf, Piplup's Bubble or Chimchar's Ember will be a
large help with these Rock-types (Chimchar's Ember not so much) so just spam
the elemental attacks on Geodude or Onix, or Mach Punch if you have it. Water
Gun Psyduck or Absorb Budew will also work.
Cranidos is a bit more durable. It can be taken down with the same method but
beware of its attacks - with 125 base attack power they are sure to put some
hurt on your Pokemon! Use Potions if you have to and keep up the battle until
you win. Geodude and Onix are easy - Cranidos is the only problematic here.
With Pursuit and Headbutt it can certainly cause some damage. Roark will also
heal it with one Potion as soon as it gets onto yellow health for 20 HP.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Once you've beaten Roark, you will get some money, TM76 and the Coal Badge,
allowing us to use Rock Smash! We can now explore Oreburgh Gate and Route 204
some more. But first, head back into Oreburgh City and head up north to Route
207 - the south part of it, anyway.

Not a whole lot here but there are some new Pokemon to get, including Ponyta
which can make a good Fire-type for your team (though you will have access to
Houndour, Flareon and Magmar later on as well.) Pick up the Poke Ball, do what
you wish, then leave. We'll be able to explore the upper part of this route
later on.

Head for Oreburgh Gate again. Note that the Pokemart has now expanded its choice
for you due to your Coal Badge - it now contains Super Potions, Repels, Escape
Ropes and a bunch of status healing items. Just before you enter the gate, your
rival will meet up with you, spout some nonsense then leave. We must go too.

B1F holds a few things but at present there is not much we can pick up apart
from Flash. You cannot face the trainer until you get Surf, either. From when
you come downstairs, go right, break the rock, go around and pick up the item.
This is TM70, Flash, allowing you to see fully in dark caves. There are only
two places in the game where this can be used and both are optional so you do
not HAVE to teach it if you don't want to.
If you head to the left and break more rocks, you can go around then and pick
up a Big Pearl which you can sell for cash. That is all it's useful for...
This is as far as you can go without a Bicycle, so we'll have to leave for now.
Head back to Route 203.

Just head through the route as normal back to Jubilife. Nothing has changed.
===============================================================================
[013] JUBILIFE CITY [MW013]
===============================================================================
Items: Memo Pad Poketch App, Fashion Case
As soon as you enter, you will come into contact with Looker who will talk
with you for a few moments. Once he leaves, head into the main part of Jubilife
and heal your Pokemon if needed. The GTS is now open as well if you want to use
it.
Go inside the Poketch building (the one with the flags) and talk to the Poketch
President next to the counter to get your first additional Poketch app, the
Memo Pad. Then try to head up north of Jubilife.
You will come across Rowan, Dawn/Lucas and some mysterious people with oddly
coloured hair (turquoise?) and uniforms. These are Galactic grunts, and you
will face many of these throughout the game. You will end up going into a
double battle with the Galactic Grunts, with Dawn/Lucas as your partner. This
lets you now get three new Pokemon in your dex - a starter, Glameow and Stunky!
Very useful. Anyhow, just... kill them. They're fairly frail, Glameow moreso
than Stunky. Be warned that Stunky is Poison/Dark so only Ground-type moves
have a Super Effective bonus on it.
Once you've beaten them, they will all leave and you will be invited into the
TV Centre in Jubilife City. You don't have to enter if you don't want to but
there is some stuff in there we can get. You will also get a Fashion Case along
with the invitation to the centre.
Jubilife TV Station
--------------------
Item: [Starter] Mask, Mystery Gift Unlock
If you go up to the second floor and talk to the brown haired man with glasses,
you will receive a mask of the first form of the starter you chose (ie I got a
Piplup mask). This mask is a contest accessory and can be used in the Super
Contests. If you head into the room right next to the stairs you just came up,
you can talk to the hiker and have a go at dressing up your Pokemon. If you do
you can get a photo of it put up next to the dressing room and you should also
be able to share it with other people over the GTS. You can also be interviwed
when you come out of the dressing room if you wish but it has no real effect.
Just ignore the lady if you don't want to bother.
Up on the third floor, if you talk to the guy next to the blonde girl near
the bottom of the screen you will get the option to input some text. Put in
'EVERYONE HAPPY' for the first one and then after some more dialogue you will
be asked to input another phrase. This time, choose 'WI-FI CONNECTION' as your
words and you will unlock Mystery Gift! At times you will be able to download
some items from Wi-Fi that will allow you to access special things within the
game that are normally unobtainable. It's about time Nintendo started using
Wi-Fi to distribute things.
The rooms near the stairs when you first come up to this floor contain records.
Look at them if you like. There is nothing on 4F so head back to the 1st floor.
Note on the 1st floor that if you talk to the woman at the counter you can get
a lottery ticket and if it matches with the ID of any of your Pokemon you can
win some good items, but it is very hard to win unless you have traded with a
lot of people. That's all for the TV Station, so head out of Jubilife and into
Route 204 when you're ready.

The North of Route 204 is basically the south but with higher levels overall
and the addition of Sunkern for the Pokeradar Pokemon. Simply go through the
route, battle the trainers, pick up the items etc etc. Your starter should
probably have evolved by now, unless you have Turtwig in which case it will
probably be approaching Level 18. You should make sure to pick up the Bullet
Seed TM in the small clearing over to the left near the top, then head up into
Floaroma.

o-----------------------------------------------------o
First off, heal and buy anything you need, then head up to the flower shop.
Pluck the trees of their berries and head inside. Talk to the far left girl
to get the Sprayduck which allows you to water berry plants. Talk to the brown
haired girl on the right to get a random berry. You can also exchange berries
for some equipment with the blonde haired girl but the more flashy items are
incredibly costly, requiring about 100 berries of a rare type. Whether its
worth it depends on you.
Next, head into the house with the red roof just north of the Pokemon Center
and talk to the little girl next to the Clefairy to get TM88, Pluck. This is a
flying type move of 60 power which can basically steal an opponent's berry and
use it straight away, kinda like the move Bug Bite. That is all you can do for
now, so head right into Route 205.
One reader also suggests that using Pluck on a Pokemon that can use it well
(such as Staravia perhaps) can very much help against the many important
Pokemon that hold Sitrus Berries in this game (which recover 25% of HP when
the Pokemon is at low health.)

We cannot explore this route fully yet because of the Galactic Grunts but we

There is little we can do here currently, but notice the yellow honey tree to
the right. Once we get some honey you'll be able to put some on the tree and
attract a Pokemon. Refer to the honey tree section in the Aftermain walkthrough
to see the Pokemon lists and rarity.
If you talk to the Galactic Grunt blocking the door, a fight will start. Once
you beat him, he will go inside the Windworks and lock himself inside, meaning
you cannot get in. Great. Head back to Floaroma.

When you enter you will see two Galactic Grunts attacking a man in hopes of
getting his honey. Once you beat them they will run off, dropping the Works
Key which you will then get, meaning you can now go into Valley Windworks.
The guy will also give you a BUNCH of Honey. You can now buy Hoeny infinitely
from him at one piece at a time for $100 each. Giving you 10 honies instead of
just the 1 like in D/P was quite kind, I must say. Head back to the Windworks.

The Galactic grunt who locked it before will be surprised and run off to inform
the admin of your arrival, who we will be facing in due time. You must face at
least one Galactic grunt but you may as well battle both of them. After you
have beaten them, don't be afraid to return to Floaroma and heal if you need to.
When you're ready, save and walk into Mars for her to notice you. She will say
a few things, then your first Galactic Admin Battle will start, with its own
music too. Sounds like the Brawl version =O

o----------------------------------------o
Reward: $1360
STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Zubat is not too hard to take down but be wary of its Toxic and Giga Drain
attacks. Thankfully Zubat has rather bad special attack so Giga Drain shouldn't
do too much and it will normally use Bite which doesn't do a whole lot. Once
you've beaten it, the real hard part starts.
Purugly is the evolved form of Glameow and at this part of the game it is very
durable unless you have a good Fighting-type. Staravia can help here because
of Intimidate and Endeavor will also come in very useful. Use everything you
need to to beat it - it will usually only use Scratch but it is powerful and
will probably deal a fair bit of damage to you each time it uses it. It will
always start with Fake Out too, so don't expect to move the first turn it
comes out. It is also very fast, despite how it looks - BE CAREFUL. It should
die in a few hits but you may need two Pokemon to do it. Staravia's Endeavor
can also come in useful here for getting Purugly's HP down. Purugly will often
use Faint Attack as well, which will probably OHKO Kadabra/Alakazam if you are
using either of them.
After some more dialogue Galactic will leave, and you can now explore Route 205
to its fullest. Drifloon can also now appear on Fridays.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Outside Valley Windworks
-------------------------
When you go outside, Looker will come up to you and compliment you on your
victory over Galactic. After he leaves, head back to Floaroma to heal, then
go back onto Route 205. This time, we will explore.

We must now head up North towards the border of the Eterna Forest. Head up and
battle the Picknicker, then head through the grass and further north (placing
honey on the tree to the south if you want - only put one on there or it will
probably not work). Head further up north, defeat the hiker then pick up the
X Sp.Def. Battle the aroma lady, head up further north and battle the girl here
with a Bidoof. Pick the berries and get the Heal Ball, then go back and start
heading north over the rock. Battle the Camper now, to add Aipom to your dex.
Further up, battle the Hiker with an Onix. Further up, grab the Repel, battle
with the fighter girl. Up again, fight the Picknicker with a Piplup and that
is all of the trainers done. Go to the far right and down the steps to pick
up a Super Potion then go back up and into the house. Talk to the woman inside
to heal your Pokemon, exit the house and go north into Eterna Forest.

Eterna Forest is quite large and there are a lot of trainers to face. Nearly
as soon as you walk forward a woman will talk to you - this is Cheryl, who will
join you on your journey through Eterna! This means all battles will be doubles
including both trainer and Wild Battles. Chansey is also added to your Dex.
[ POKEMON TRAINER CHERYL ]
o----------------------------------------o
|- Travel through the forest! - |
|----------------------------------------|
| :: Chansey Female Lv. 20 EXP: --- |
o----------------------------------------o
Notice how Platinum has added new graphics to Eterna Forest, making it appear
as though there are gaps in the trees letting through light. Very nice. To
start, head left and into the grass and pick up the Antidote. Go back out of
the grass and head north then left again and you should see a mysterious green
rock. This is the Moss Rock and its power causes Eevee to evolve into Leafeon
during a level-up. However contary to popular belief you do not have to level
up Eevee in this exact grass patch - it can be anywhere in the forest, even
right outside the Old Chateau if you want to.
From there, head right through the grass and underneath where the cut trees are
until you come to a pair of trainers. Also - do not worry about healing for
after every battle, Wild or Trainer, Cheryl will hear both her Chansey and
your Pokemon. However, you should also note that you can only capture Wild
Pokemon when there is only one of the two left and Chansey can and will attempt
to kill any Wild Pokemon that appear with Egg Bomb, so you need to be quick.
You can come back later and catch Pokemon without Cheryl being there though.
Walk right in between the trainers to start a battle. This battle will add
Silcoon and Beautifly to your PokeDex, which is useful. Go further to pick
up a Parlyz Heal, then head further right and battle the Psychics which will
add Abra to your PokeDex if you've yet to see one. It's also worth noting
that Chansey won't even steal any of your exp - having Cheryl along board is
very useful, I must say. After the Psychics, continue heading south and pick
up the Net Ball in the grass. Head further east, and head in between the Bug
Catchers to battle them too, allowing you to see your first alternate form
Burmy. This is added to the Pokedex under a different form expansion you will
get later on in the game, but it doesn't count as a seperate dex entry since
we already have Burmy. However this battle will add Dustox to your PokeDex.
Then keep heading right until you reach another item in a grass patch. Pick
it up to receive a Potion. Head further up then take a left turning and go up
again to battle two more psychics, to add Meditite to your dex and Psyduck too
if you haven't seen one yet. Once you've beaten them, go up and then right.
Keep going through the grass and you'll reach a larger section. Go through the
grass and pick up the item lying there - a Green Shard. Head up out of the
grass and right towards the exit of Eterna Forest. Cheryl will bid you farewell
giving you the Soothe Bell, then leaving. That is the last you will see of her
for quite a while. Exit yourself afterwards.

Finally, the second gym town. Straight away you will notice the Team Galactic
grunt, who we will deal with later. Heal up in the Pokemon Center, then go up
the top of the city and your rival will run into you. He will then lead you to
a weird statue on a plateau. However, the mysterious blue haired man is there
again! He will leave shortly after, as will your rival. While we're here, go
onto the top of the plateau and face towards the statue, positioning yourself
in the middle of it (so directly north of the statue) and press A to find the
Draco Plate that increases the power of dragon moves by 20% and also does
somehing else...
After that, head back down the steps the way you came and a blonde haired woman
in black will see you and talk to you. This is Cynthia, an important person
during the journey. She will give you HM01, Cut and then leave. TM46 was the
Poke Ball you saw from the place where you got the Draco Plate, but we cannot
get it until we can use Cut. Next, go into the house directly to the right of
the Pokemon Center and talk to the old man to get the Explorer Kit.
Then head further south. Note that the blue doored house next to the Poke Mart
has an old man inside who is the Name Rater of this game and will be happy to
nickname your Pokemon. Keep going and then go into the gap between the trees
(pas the first one then go right) to pick up a Super Potion. Lastly, talk to
the girl blocking the entrance to the gym. This is Gardenia, and after some
dialogue she will go inside. Follow her into the gym.

Items: TM86 Grass Knot, Forest Badge
Trainers' Pokemon: Cherubi L17, Roselia L17, Budew L15, Budew L16, Budew L17,
Roselia L19
The Eterna Gym has changed considerably from D/P but it is actually easier to
manage - the leaves on the flower clock will turn every time you successfully
beat a trainer in turn, so you will need to beat all of them to get to Gardenia
and battle for the gym badge. It is basically a rout the trainers thing.
Start off by battling the first trainer (you will have to actually talk to her)
and take down her Cherubi and Roselia. After you beat her, you will see the
leaves rotate allowing you to go to the right section of the gym. Talk to this
next challenger and take down her Budew. The leaves will rotate again allowing
you access to the left and the water geysers will also go down, letting you
actually exit the gym. Go over to the left and battle the third Aroma Lady,
taking down her Roselia. Finally, the leaves will rotate again, allowing you
access to Gardenia. Go up to her, save and initiate the battle.

o----------------------------------------o
Reward: $2640, TM86 Grass Knot, Forest Badge
STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
If you have either a Monferno, Ponyta or Staravia, Gardenia will be fairly easy
to beat. Spam Fire and Flying whenever you can. If you don't have those types
then the battle becomes a bit harder - especially Roserade due to its very high
Special Attack stat. Grotle users can Curse and attack with Bite; those with
Prinplup are in for a bit of trouble unless they have Staravia or Ponyta -
you may be able to Peck them to death if Prinplup is high enough, though.
There isn't a whole lot else I can advise on this battle, but it shouldn't be
too hard in the long run. Cherrim can also use Safeguard so statuses may not
be the best strategy for this battle.
Roserade is also capble of using Stun Spore to paralyze your Pokemon, Grass
Knot to cause heavy damage to your heavier Pokemon and Magical Leaf to deal
great damage to Pokemon weak to Grass attacks such as Prinplup (it will likely
2HKO them.) The other two are thankfully not much of a threat.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After you win, you will get the Forest Badge which allows all Pokemon up to
Level 30 to obey you always and also the TM for Grass Knot, a Grass-move that
increases in power as the weight of the opponent increases. The leaves will
rotate one last time - you should now leave the gym. We still have things to do
in Eterna.
Eterna City
------------
Head up to the Pokemon Center and heal, then teach Cut to something. We are
now going to explore the Old Chateau. Once you're ready, head out of the city
back into Route 205.
Route 205 & Eterna Forest Outskirts
------------------------------------
Items: Oran Berry (x2), Cheri Berry (x1), Bluk Berry (x2), Razz Berry (x2),
SilverPowder, TM82 Sleep Talk

Head to the far left of the route and then go through the path is under the
entrance to the Eterna Forest. Cut one of the trees you come across and proceed
through onto the rock platform to get to a clearing. Collect the four berries
here then conintue through the line of trees and ascend the stairs onto the
rock. Pick up the Silverpowder here (+20% pwr to Bug attacks) and go right to
pick up TM82, Sleep Talk (when asleep, pick a move at random.) Then head back
through the passage the way you came and enter Eterna Forest (if you want to
cut around Eterna Forest than use that passage but follow it through.)
Eterna Forest
--------------
Items: Ether
Trainers' Pokemon: n/a
You'll notice Gardenia by the trees. Talk to her and she will say about the
mansion being haunted, then leave. Cut a tree and go through. Go up the top,
pick up the Ether on the right, then enter the mansion. I believe you can find
an Insect Plate if you come back here with an Itemfinder app, too.
On that note, one reader (who I guess I'll credit as latias922, but you know
who you are. Thanks!) has confirmed that the Insect Plate is indeed there and
it is located towards the fence outside the mansion at the right side, near
the very back of the area (or top from the game view.) You will need to take
an educated guess where it is though since the Dowsing App will not give a
specific location.

* With any GBA cartridge inserted, Gengar can be found on the second floor
corridor in the room fourth from the left. It is only after you get the
National Dex like all of the other insert Pokemon, however.
The Old Chateau has a wealth of items to get, as well as a new foggy palette &
LOTS of Gastly. First off, head straight ahead into the Dining Room. Go to the
far left and pick up a Rare Candy, then go to the far right and pick up the
Big Pearl lying there. Exit the dining room, then head up the left stairs and
go through the door on the left. Pick up the Old Gateau lying there on the
floor (heals all status problems but it must taste awful if it is actually old)
then exit that room. You can check out the right room for some information if
you like but there is no item in the room. Then go into the upper room - this
is a corridor. Start from the left; the first room on the far left contains the
Dread Plate that boosts the power of Dark-type moves by 20%. Leave the second
room for now and ignore the third and fourth rooms too. In the fifth room, you
can pick up TM90 Substitute. The room to the left of this one contains a pic
with weird glowing red eyes - in this room are Wild Gengar if you insert a
Pokemon GBA cartridge after you have the National Dex.
Returning to the 2nd room from the left, if you go inside you will notice a TV.
If you engage this TV at any time after 8pm (press A on it) then you will get
a message asking you to 'thump' the TV. If you say yes, Rotom will appear.

o--------------------------------------------------o
STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Rotom is a Pokemon that almost appears to be a legendary because of music and
setting although it really isn't. However Rotom possesses qualities such as a
completely unique type, a fairly low catch rate and a special event required to
encounter it. At this stage in the game your Pokemon are likely to be around 20
themselves, so adding Rotom to your team might not be a half-bad idea. Rotom
can also change forms if you can get your hands on the Secret Key item and
activate the event that goes alongside it (either with a proper AR code or by
using Mystery Gift to get it on Wi-Fi.) You pretty much have to encounter Rotom
anyway to add it to your PokeDex. Once you're done in the Chateau, leave and
return back to Eterna City.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Eterna City
-------------
Items: TM46 Thief
See that spiky building at the top? We're going there next. Add Rotom to your
team if you want to use it, then with your Cut Pokemon head up the top, and
Cut the tree. Before entering the building go right and run down the passage
to pick up TM46, Thief, which can steal items your opponent is holding. When
you've got that, head back to the building and enter.

[023] ETERNA GALACTIC HIDEOUT [MW023]

Glameow L19, Stunky L16, Croagunk L16, Glameow L16, Kadabra L20
When you enter, a Galactic grunt will talk to you and reveal himself to be
Looker! After some dialogue he returns to his original disguise, leaving you to
explore the hideout. Start by battling the two grunts positioned in double
battle position (you can take them on singuarly if you desire.) Once you beat
their incredibly common Pokemon, go up the stairs and battle the grunt here.
Pick up the X Speed, descend the stairs then go up the stairs on the right.
I should mention this now - if you don't want to battle use the stairs with a
poster, which one of my readers recommended. It does mean you lose out on
EXP but it's that much faster.
The male grunt here won't fight you, but go across to the female grunt and
battle her Glameow. The female grunt on the far right won't fight you either.
Once you beat the female grunt, go around and up the stairs to the right.
Defeat the female grunt here with what may as well be Team Galactic's mascots
then pick up the well-hidden X Special in the corner. Go back downstairs and
this time take the middle stairs up. Follow the path around and then battle
the scientist on the far right (the grunt won't battle you) and add his Kadabra
to your PokeDex. Head up the stairs right next to him, pick up the Blue Shard
and Revive on the floor, then descend the stairs and this time take the middle
stairs. Wow, this room this pretty! Stars and all that. Yeah.
Take the path around. Run right past the people, grab the Up-Grade on the far
right of the room, then save. When you're ready, talk to the purple haried
woman, who is Jupiter, the second admin of Team Galactic. After some dialogue,
a battle will start, admin music and all.

STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Like Mars, Jupiter has a Zubat of her own which is equally easy to take out.
Just zap it, slap it, wing it, burn it, whatever. It's incredibly easy to take
out. Then comes what can be the problem for this battle - Skuntank.
Skuntank is the evolved form of Stunky and like its pre-evolution it has a
Poison/Dark typing, meaning it is only really vulnearable to Ground attacks.
Being a second stage Pokemon it is also quite durable like Purugly was and
just about as strong. If you have any Ground-moves, abuse them. If not, just
fight to take it down, using Potions, Super Potions etc if you need them. Don't
forget you have the option to use the X ___ items as well if you need a boost!
Skuntank has a powerful Dark-typed Night Slash attack which will take down any
Psychic or Ghost types incredibly easy, but confusing it may be an option.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Once you beat Jupiter, all of the Galactic people will leave. The guy who
Jupiter was 'dealing' with thanks you and asks you to come to his Cycle Shop.
We will go - with pleasure. Head down the stairs, then the stairs on the left
and then the stairs on the furthest left you can get to to reach the bottom
floor. If you have the Secret Key you can now unlock the Rotom appliance room;
go to the top left hand corner of the room, stand in the gap between the wall
and the thing with the black and yellow squares and press A for a large gap
in the wall to appear. Enter and you will be able to choose one of five items
for Rotom to change into, giving it a move of a specific type depending on what
it changes into as well as improved stats. Go out of the building when done.

until you talk to her without six in your party. When she talks to you with a
space in your party, she will give you an Egg that will eventually hatch into
a Togepi (after roughly 2,500 steps). Then enter the Bike Shop and talk to the
guy at the counter to receive a free Bicycle! Go to your Key Items and Register
it straight away so you can pull it out by just pressing Y. That is all for
Eterna City, but first we should quickly go to Route 211 West, which is east

There isn't too much to do on this route apart from face a few trainers and
catch some Pokemon if you wish to. You can also explore a tiny section of
Mt. Coronet from here. If you go up when you first enter the route through the
grass there is a hidden Great Ball in the upper empty square amongst the grass.
If you have Rock Smash, defeat the Hiker then go further down the valley. Beat
the bird keeper, and grab the TM12 at the bottom. Then enter Mt. Coronet.
Once you get Surf, come back here and Surf across the lake at the bottom where
Taunt is and use the Dowsing App to find a hidden Moon Stone! Thank you to one

you have seen a certain number of Pokemon (30?) you will get an Exp. Share, an

Head on the bridge and start fighting the trainers for experience. Also note
that Cycling Road has been revamped a bit - there are now streetlights and it's
more colourful overall. Mostly electric types and such.
Once you reach the second gatehouse, talk to the blonde girl to get a Flag, a
Super Contest accessory. Go outside and pick the two Razz Berries, then head
to the right and cut down the tree (just head south to Route 207 if you don't
want to bother with this part of the route.)
Going here allows you access to the grass where you can capture Pokemon such as
Nosepass and the newly added Gligar. There are some more trainers down here,
mostly hikers. Go to the left, pick up a Burn Heal and keep going that way to
come across a hiker. He doesn't battle you, though. Head further north, pick
the two Rawst Berries, then go back down and then go right under the bridge to
reach the other side again and go further north to pick up a Super Repel and
head further north to battle the hiker here. Circle around the tree and head
under the bridge again to the left and pick up the Poison Barb on the floor.
Head back over to the right side, and enter the cave here. Note that this is
entirely optional, and you can simply continue to Route 207 if you wish. If you
do plan to enter and hate Wild Pokemon Battles, you want to bring some Repel
for this cave has a particuarly high encounter rate from what I can see.

If you have Flash and have something to teach it to, now is a good time to use
it. You don't need it per se but it is quite helpful. From the start, head up
go left (hit the wall, go down one square and then go left if you need specific
directions) and break the rock here. Head north, then go right and press A on
the middle rock to find a Green Shard. Go the left, break the rock, go north
again and then left again and break another rock. Now head north, right, break
another rock. Go further right, down, pick up the Escape Rope on the floor and
head right again, then further down and break yet another rock.
At this point I actually found a Shiny Onix while I was writing this :o I had
five balls left and I caught it on the last one (a Net Ball.) That was pretty
lucky! But I'm getting sidetracked here. Break the rock, head further down,
press A on the leftmost rock at the bottom in this corridor to get a Super
Potion. Break down this rock, go right, down, break another rock. SO MANY DAMN
ROCKS. This area would be good if you liked to smash things. Go right, up,
right, up, left, smash the rock. Head up, left and finally you will reach Mira.
Talk to her and like Cheryl, she will partner up with you. Free healing. Yay.
[ POKEMON TRAINER MIRA ]
o----------------------------------------o
|- Guide Mira out of the cave! - |
|----------------------------------------|
| :: Kadabra Male Lv. 26 EXP: --- |
o----------------------------------------o
If you want to exit the cave now, just take Mira back in reverse. Alternatively
you can collect the items and face the trainers around the cave, as I will be
doing in this guide. So if you are going to stay for more, keep following,
otherwise head down to the Secret Entrance part. Note there is a Yellow Shard
on one of the rocks in the 'room' Mira is in. Use the Dowsing App to find it.
With Mira in your grasp (kinky), head right and back down, right again and this
time keep going straight down to enter a double battle with two trainers. Beat
them and press A on the rock directly below you to get a Blue Shard.
Next, head north, left, down, left, up, left, up and this time go to the right
instead. Enter the double battle here, and click on the rock to the left in
the middle of this short path to get a Great Ball.
Next, head up out of this corridor and go left, up, left, up, left and this
time keep going to the left until you come to a breakable rock. Smash it, go
left slightly and then down. Enter the double battle here, win, and pick up
the Revive on the floor. Go back up, right and then down on the next turning
you come across. Head left, down, then further left (no need to break the rock
yet.) Once more, go down and enter the double battle. After that is done,
break the rock and pick up the TM32 here (Double Team). Head back up, right and
this time break the rock. Go through the newly formed gap and go down. Crush
the hikers here in one last double battle (I love the jolly tune that plays
before you fight a hiker though) and press A on the leftmost rock at the bottom
to pick up a Red Shard. That is everything in this cave - head up, left through
the recently formed gap, up, right through the rock gap, then go down, further
right through the rock gap here, down again, right through the rock gap and
down to finally exit this cave. Mira will leave you now without actually giving
you any reward, but you will be able to battle with her and against her later
on. Follow her example, and leave the cave yourself.
Route 206
----------
If you wish to enter the secret part now, head a little down, then left under
the bridge and then keep trying to go up when you're out of view until you find
a path up (it is to the left of the underside of the bridge) and you should
enter a cave.

Use Flash again in here if you wish, though you don't really need it this time
and head down the stairs. Now my Togepi egg is hatching as I write this... bah.
Cute level one Togepi that I won't be using. Anyway, first, go left then press
A on the rock furthest to the left in the corner to find a hidden Dusk Stone.
Then, go up the mud slide, then go up the next one again since there is nothing
in that gap to the right.
After doing that, jump over the four bike humps and pick up a Max Ether on the
floor. Head up, around and jump down the ledge. Slow your bike down with B then
jump over this ledge to get into the part inaccessible with the faster speed.
Go around following the rock path then head up and left over the bike hump.
Go across the wooden bridge, then on the intersection between the two mounts
go up and over the bike hump (with a faster speed) and pick up the Grip Claw
on the floor here (allows you to extend the duration of attacks like Fire Spin,
Bind, Wrap etc.) Go back over the bike hump and this time head up the mount and
across the top mounts - going across the wooden bridge - and go over ONE bike
hump and pick up the Rare Candy. Either jump off the ledge and go around or
manipulate your speed (like moving around and building up speed on your bike)
and get over the bike hump on this part to get to the other side of the rocks.
Head around the rocks here and cross over yet another rock hump then head down
these mounts and head up the stairs to a SECRET CAVE OOOOOOOOOH. Pick up the
TM26 Earthquake here. Yup, you get Earthquake this early in the game. If you
don't want to use it for competitive battling later on or something (though you
can get more TM26s through Pickup and such) then you can teach it to a Gible or
Gligar to make training them much easier. That is everything for this part of
the cave, so jump off the ledge halfway through the mounts on the lower floor
and head out of the cave (or use an Escape Rope if you wish.)
Route 206
----------
Items: PP Up
We've done practically everything for Route 206, so now it is time to head into
Route 207 - head south. If you need to heal, don't bother going back to Eterna
for another healing point is coming up incredibly soon. I did actually miss one
item before - just before you get to the cut point that allows you to leave 206
reverse slightly and you should notice a cut tree in between the mass of large
trees. Cut it down and you can pick up the PP Up here (it isn't actually hidden
but you can't see it through the tree.) Then cut one of the exit trees and head
down into Route 207.

Finally, a new route. You can pick up some berries to the left possibly but
since we have visited Route 207 before from Oreburgh and have seen these berry
plants it is possible they are growing. Head down the mudslide here and you
can then go into Oreburgh City.
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
Oreburgh City
-------------
Heal and replenish your supplies if needed. You can also revive any fossils you
may have found underground here (it should be Cranidos or Shieldon.) The Poke
Mart will contain the same items that Eterna had after you got Gardenia's badge
for the markets in every single town depend on how many badges you own. When
you're done head back up into Route 207.
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Resuming Route 207, head back up the mudslide and go down the lower right path.
Fight the youngster here (adding Luxio and possibly Gligar to your dex) then go
up the mount and fight the blonde female fighter (we'll be able to get the item
on the upper level later.) Head to the upper level of the rock and commence a
battle with a hiker here. Go across the bridge and pick up a Revive, then head
around the path again (or jump off the ledge to the right if you want to skip
some trainers) and now go right on the upper path - go back to Oreburgh to heal
if need be. Do the double battle with the two campers, pick up the Super Potion
between the two air vents, and battle the Hiker here, who thankfully lost his
Bronzor from D/P. Attempt to enter the cave and Dawn or Lucas will see you and
talk to you. Select the first option to get the VS. Seeker (though it probably
doesn't even matter) and then you'll get a Dowsing App for your Poketch after,
otherwise known as the Itemfinder. The VS. Seeker is particuarly useful for
battling trainers on outside routes. After she/he finishes, enter the cave.
One reader has also found a Great Ball just before the entrance to Mt. Coronet
and a Rare Candy on the ledge after the Hiker that protects the path to the
Revive. Both items are invisible but can be located with the Dowsing App that
you just obtained.

We can't explore this part too much now, but head south and into the gap and

Ah, Route 208, a new route with delicious Ralts. Go across the bridge and face
yet another hiker, then go north across the bridge and battle the Blackbelt.
Go down the steps, pick up the Great Ball. Later on when you get Surf, you will
be able to fight a Fisherman with Barboach/Gyarados, L31 each and when you get
Rock Climb you can battle a Hiker with Golbat/Graveler/Onix, all L35 each but
for now they are out of bounds. Head right across the bridge, battle ANOTHER
hiker (some hiker soup would be nice, but it would be a bit hairy) and go up
and break the rocks. Pick up the Ether then go down the steps to the right to
find the route's first grass. Roselia and Bibarel are also now available, both
of which can be helpful if you want a Grass-type or a slave for your HMs. Budew
takes so long to evolve... Battle the Aroma Lady here to see a trainer with -
surprisingly enough - stickers on their Pokemon! At least on the Roselia. You
also get Combee in your PokeDex from this battle. Excuse me while I go find a
Ralts... that doesn't Teleport away from me. Ugh.
Anyway, after the Aroma Lady, battle the Artist. After that head down and talk
to the fighter hiding in the bushes to get an Odd Keystone, which you can get
Spiritomb with if you are very patient. Pick up the berries at the top, then
enter the house and talk to the old man to get a random berry (which I believe
you can do every day. Also, talk to the little girl to get the BERRY SEARCHER
app, which keeps track of berry locations around Sinnoh (say Yes when she asks
you a question.) You can also buy "mulch" from the woman, which is basically
fertilizer for your berries. It's nothing you need though. Afterwards, head
through the gatehouse into Hearthome. Note that there is a hidden TinyMushroom
below the Aroma Lady if you pull out the Dowsing App.

As soon as you get a few steps into the city, a Buneary will run right into
you, causing it to stop in its tracks (might be a female). The trainer comes to
collect it, thanking you for stopping it and invites you to the Pokemon Contest
Hall at the top of the city, introducing herself as "Keira" (which I'm sure is
spelt wrong on the game...) Head up through the city (I'll give a market list
later after we get 3 badges) and head into the Pokemon Center to heal, also
pulling out any new Pokemon from the PC you may have caught. Go into the house
next door and talk to Bebe. If you have a spare slot in your party then you can
get a Level 20 Eevee! Unfortunately you may not get any elemental stones for a
while (unless you find them undergroun) but if you want a Leafeon you can go
back to Eterna Forest pretty easily it a level up there. Espeon and Umbreon
are obtainable with the normal happiness + time method and you'll be able to
get Glaceon much much later on.
Enter the contest hall at the top and you'll enter a conversation with your
mother and Keira. You'll get Glitter Powder (an accessory) as a reward and your
mother will also give you a tuxedo or a dress depending on the gender you are
playing as, which you will wear when you take part in Super Contests. Finally,
talk to the woman wearing purple over to the right. This is Fantina, the Gym
Leader of Hearthome City, and unlike D/P we can face her right now! But first
we shall take a trip to Amity Square (unless you would rather go straight to
the gym, in which case go down to that section.)
In addition, if you visit the house over to the right of the Pokemon Center
with the contest emblem on the front of it and talk to the Gentleman in there
you will receive a Poffin Case, allowing you to both make and buy poffins.
Afterwards, go to the top left of Hearthome and enter Amity Square.
Amity Square
-------------
Items: TM45 Attract, Amulet Coin, Glitter Boulder, Spooky Plate, TM43 Secret
Power
Trainers' Pokemon: N/A
This is an area that got completely revamped from D/P :o It is quite pretty.
Thankfully the amount of Pokemon you can now enter Amity Square with has been
expanded, but there is still a limited amount. However, you can enter Amity
Square with a D/P/P starter Pokemon of any level, so it isn't too hard to get
in. Once you're in, go straight north and enter the huge rock structure to find
that it is a teleporter, and you'll end up next to an item. This is TM45 - pick
it up, then re-enter the teleporter to return to the original one. Go down and
cross the bridge in the center and pick up the item on the mound here - this is
TM43, Secret Power. After that, just head back left and go down and exit Amity
Square, for that is all you can do on this side of it. Instead, go to the right
side of Hearthome and enter that way, so that you are on the right hand side of
Amity Square.
From this side, head north and enter the first teleporter you come to. Collect
the item (Amulet Coin) then go back into the teleporter you came from to go
back to the beginning. This time, head one square into the teleporter then
go left and you will warp somewhere else. Enter the same teleporter again and
this time take the right teleporter to end up on the same ledge as a large guy.
Talk to him and say Yes to get the Glitter Boulder accessory. Then go back into
the teleporter and use the straight path. Head back into this teleporter to
return to the first one, then in this same teleporter, go left to end up on
the ledge with the Happiny woman, then re-enter the teleporter and take the
right path to end up on the ledge with the large guy. Then in the teleporter on
this ledge, take the left teleporter to end up on a new ledge. Pick up the
Spooky Plate here. That covers all of the items in Amity Square, I believe.
Note that after walking about ~200 steps, talk to the Pokemon you are walking
with to get a random accessory or berry. You can do this as much as you want.
When you're ready, exit Amity Square and head into the Hearthome Gym.

Drifloon L21, Haunter L23, Misdreavus L24, Gastly L21, Gastly L22, Haunter L24,
Gastly L23
Enter the gym to be greeted by an entirely new revamp. No more of those stupid
maths puzzles that D/P had - the puzzle is a little harder now. Listen to the
gym guy talking to you if you wish, telling you what to do, then enter the gym.
If you have Rotom and it has gotten up to Level 29, then you will probably be
able to utterly sweep this gym with Ominous Wind. Having any Ghost type can
help (since Gastly/Haunter/Gengar are also available to you at this point.)
Basically you are in a maze of duskull heads, and you are given a torch to use
to see (though truth be told you don't really need it.) If you come within the
torch range of any of the trainers you will have to battle them, but you should
for the experience anyway. To start, battle the female trainer on the left and
then the male trainer on the right. Then, find the blue shape on the floor in
the room somewhere, and enter the matching door to the north. The shape on the
floor is random, though the trainer battles are not, but you will have to do
the shape puzzle by yourself (though it is incredibly easy.)
The next room has the same puzzle but four trainers and the maze is larger, as
well as five doors. As usual, battle all of them for the experience, then find
the matching shape and enter the matching door to get to the next room.
The next room holds Fantina, so now is a good time to go back and heal if you
need to. When you're ready, go in and talk to Fantina to start the Gym battle.

Reward: $3120, TM65 Shadow Claw, Relic Badge
STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
As I've said before, Ghost types will come in quite useful. The levels I have
at the moment (apart from Kirlia) are a bit overlevelled anyway because I spent
so long in Wayward Cave gathering info. Be warned that psychic-types are not
too likely to last long - Duskull knows Shadow Sneak, a Ghost-type Quick Attack
which can quickly take down Kirlia, Alakazam etcetera. Plus then you have other
Ghost moves to account for, so all in all it is unlikely a Psychic Pokemon can
be too much help in this fight. Other types should mostly do fine and on the
off-chance you have a Dark-type they will perform exceptionally well in this
fight. Normal-type Pokemon will also be immune to Ghost attacks.
Rotom will completely sweep this battle under the rug if you have a good one,
as will Haunter/Gengar if they have a good Ghost move (though they don't
necessarily need it considering Hypnosis...). Ominous Wind from Rotom will
do plenty of damage, but be warned that Mismagius does have Shadow Ball which
is also super effective against your own Ghost-types. Granted Ominous Wind
should kill Mismagius in two hits. Damn, I'm supporting Rotom too much here.
A Luxio or, if you have one, Luxray, could definitely do good here too with
Bite and such. Luxray in particular, due to the strong 120 base attack that
it sports.
Either way, keep attacking with the strongest attacks you have that are not
Normal or Fighting typed. Mismagius can put the hurt on you if you aren't
careful but it is generally easier than its D/P counterpart. Fantina will also
use Super Potions if she gets the opportunity.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Once you beat Fantina, go right and step on the teleporter to return to the
front of the gym. Exit the building, and go heal your Pokemon.

STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Staravia will start the battle this time - unlike D/P, the rival's Starly will
evolve much, much sooner. Staravia is mildly powerful but nothing too big - a
quick jolt of electric will put it out of commison.
The other three shouldn't be too much trouble, despite being dependant on
type (though it seems having Chimchar means you get a fair bit more EXP on the
whole...) Just match type with type and it should be fine. Roselia, Buizel and
Ponyta will all go down fairly easily. The starter may take a bit more but
nothing that will take very much effort.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After you beat him, he will run off. Go back and heal if need be, then head
into Route 209 (since entry to Route 212 is unfortunately blocked.) Also, if
you were wondering about the Happiny egg, it doesn't exist anymore. Most likely
because of the Togepi egg you get instead. The hiker just stands there doing
nothing now. Poor, poor hiker.

Ah, Route 209, the route that has music in Super Smash Bros. Brawl also (though
it doesn't fit _too_ well on the Spear Pillar stage, imo.) Anyway when you go
forward in Route 209 there is a Pokemon Breeder you can fight. Go through the
grass and pick up the Great Ball in the corner. Head back through the grass and
go east of the breeder to the fisherman, and talk to him to get the Good Rod,
allowing you to catch moderately better Pokemon in water. After that, head up
to come across the first time-based trainer. These jogging people are generic,
however - unlike usual, they will only battle you in the mornings! If it is
morning you may as well battle him but otherwise leave it. Head up the bridge
to pick up some Leppa and Chesto Berries, then go back down and battle the two
girls in a double battle. Head further right and talk to the 'Pikachu' looking
out over the bridge to find out it is some stupid cosplayer. WHY IS IT ALWAYS
PIKACHU? WHY NOT COSPLAY AS A BRONZONG OR SOMETHING. I'D JUST LOVE TO SEE A
FLOATING THING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHICH I COULD FIGHT-
Ahem, battle the Pikachu trainer - who, most surprisingly has a member of the
Pikachu family line (Pichu) then go down the bridge and around and pick up the
slightly hidden Hyper Potion here. Go back around, battle the jogger if you
wish then go up and fight the female Pokemon Breeder who has another lot of
baby Pokemon to kill - I mean, battle. Collect the Ether in the ditch then go
right a bit. Here is the well that you can insert the Odd Keystone to - if you
talk to 32 new visitors in the underground and come back to the well with the
Odd Keystone inserted before you initated the 32 talks, then you will be able
to battle Spiritomb here, but it is quite possibly one of the most difficult
Pokemon to obtain due to the requirement - using the GTS is probably easier if
you want to get one since we'll be seeing one much later on anyway. The best
method is to get a friend's DS with D/P/Pt, have them go into the underground,
talk to them, get them to exit, come back in again, talk to them, rinse and
repeat. The game counts this as a new conversation, so doing this 32 times will
allow you to get Spiritomb.
Anyway, go further north and pick the two Razz Berries here. Go through the
grass on the left and enter the off-road gap and ride through it to pick up a
Calcium. Then, go back and fight the cowgirl here, who has changed Pokemon so
she's no longer an epic source of EVs. Oh well. At least they have the jolly
intro tune that they share with the hikers. Head up, do the double battle.
These two give some decent money reward as well, so using an Amulet Coin and
VS Seeker is decent if you need some money though it isn't usually much of a
problem to obtain it.
Finally, head to the right then down. If you have Cut, cut the tree down and
take the TM47 Steel Wing on the ground here. You can head into Solaceon first
to heal - that is probably a good idea and I'm going to do that right now. When
you're ready, enter the Lost Tower - however, note this is completely optional
as Strength has changed places now.

The Lost Tower is another area in Platinum that got a revamp, now sporting a

Wild Pokemon, so head on up to the second floor.

---------
Items:
Trainers' Pokemon: Mothim L20, Chatot L21, Barboach L19
The second floor has exactly the same Wild Pokemon as the first, which really
isn't a lot of variety. Go to the left, battle the one trainer on this floor -
the youngster - who has some surprisingly good Pokemon, and pick up the Oval
Stone next to him - attach this to a Happiny and level it up at day to evolve
it into a Chansey. Go up to Floor 3.
Floor 3
---------
Items: Revive
Trainers' Pokemon: Cleffa L23, Pichu L19, Pichu L19, Pikachu L22 (@ Sitrus)
Same wild Pokemon, and now there is actually fog so your accuarcy will be down
but we don't actually have Defog at this point anyway. There are two trainers
on this floor - fight both of them. The Roughneck is particuarly ironic because
his only Pokemon is a Cleffa; completely unfitting. Of course his Pokemon got
stolen and all that, but still... the second trainer's Pikachu also has some
stickers on the Pokeball. We'll be getting our sticker case pretty soon - pity
we can't actually buy stickers for a fair while. By the way, after you beat
either both trainers or just the first one, slip past the Roughneck (there is
a hidden tile right above him) and pick up the Revive. Circling around the
graves doesn't work due to one tombstone blocking you. Head up to the fourth
floor.

Top floor of the Lost Tower, with a slightly increased chance of finding a
Golbat but no trainers. Unfortunately there isn't anything to get here anymore
but the EXP is worth it. Exit the Lost Tower to Route 209 and go into Solaceon
afterwards.
However, once you get Defog and the ability to use it, come back to this floor
and clear the area of the fog. Talk to the ladies afterwards to get the Spell
and Cleanse Tags, the former of which increases Ghost attack power by 20% and
the latter of which reduces the rate of Wild Pokemon.

When you enter Solaceon, your rival will make an appearance all of a sudden.
Thankfully he doesn't battle you this time and just runs off. Go up and pick
the berries and heal in the Pokemon Center if you need to. Of note in this
town is the Daycare Centre. Drop off some Pokemon and you may get an egg, etc.
It's also a decent idea to drop Eevee off here if you want a Vaporeon. What I
did on my first Platinum playthrough was leave Eevee (though it was a Vaporeon
for me at this point because I got a Water Stone in a trade) here until I got
Surf, then I did Iron Island and had Vaporeon sweep it all, getting it up to
the levels of the rest of my team. Not too bad of a strategy if you ask me, as
long as you don't mind spending the money on the daycare though it shouldn't
really be that much. Also, alas, the Pokemart list which stock Dusk Balls which
are quite possibly the best type of PokeBall in the game, having 4x of a rate
to capture during night which is the time most people will play the game. You
should definitely buy some if you want to catch some Pokemon.

Go into the Daycare, put in a Pokemon, exit the building and then re-enter. A
guy will now be sitting on the stool there - talk to him to receive a new app
entitled the DAYCARE CHECKER. This app allows you to check if an egg has been
produced at the daycare, should you have left two Pokemon there. Also, talk to
the Ruin Maniac near the beginning of town to receive yet another app, this one
being called the POKEMON HISTORY app. It lets you see the last twelve Pokemon
you have obtained, either by capturing, hatching from an egg, through evolution
or being traded.
Our most important stop here are the Solaceon Ruins to the east. Go to the top
of Solaceon, then jump down the second ledges you come across. Enter the house
here and talk to the mother to get a Seal Case! It contains five seals at
default and we'll be able to buy more later. In addition any Unown you catch
in the Solaceon Ruins can be shown to the little boy in this house to get a
sticker of that letter. Exit the house, jump down the ledges and go back up to
the top and this time jump down the third ledge you come across. Take the left
ledge at the split and pick up the PP Up, then go around and take the rightmost
ledge again but this time go right and enter the Solaceon Ruins.
By the way, you will be able to access that item through an event later on, but
to do so you need all 26 Unown letters so it is a challenge to get. The item
is actually only a Rare Candy... not really worth the effort.

The Unown letters are set up in different rooms. All of the dead-end side rooms
in here contain different Unown letters and the encounter rate is low so it may
take a while to find them. If you wish to catch many Unown letters then feel
free to enter the different rooms and take a look; personally I will just be
leading the walkthrough to go the fastest way through possible while still
battling the trainers around the area.
To begin with, head up and take the left stairs down and press A on the rock
to pick up a FIRE STONE! This will be very useful if you want to use Flareon or
something. Head back up the stairs. The Unown message here says something but
it isn't particuarly important. About treasure I believe. Either way, head down
the right stairs. Head down the bottom left stairs here and challenge the Ruin
Maniac to a battle. Then go down the bottom left stairs, press A on the rock
and you should find a Water Stone!
Then go down the bottom right stairs, then the top left. In this corridor, go
down the bottom right stairs and press A on the rock to get a Thunderstone!
Man, they were kind with this. Return to the corridor and go into the upper
left stairs to reach the next corridor. Descend the bottom left stairs to reach
the treasure room. Pick up the four items here - namely, a Nugget, Mind Plate,
Odd Incense and HM05, Defog. Make your way out of the ruins afterwards.
MAKE SURE YOU SEE AN UNOWN! No trainers in the game have one, so you will have
to come back later to see one to get the National Dex otherwise.
By the way, as an interesting fact, the Unown in the main corridors you explore
are of the letters that combine to spell the word "FRIEND." It's what it says
in the Unown runes in the ruins too. Quite interesting. Thanks go out to 'JD'
for noticing this fact :o
Solaceon Town
----------------
We're done here, pretty much. Show any Unown you caught to the little guy to
get some seals if you wish, heal up, buy anything you need etcetera, then head
up to Route 210.

Currently we can only explore the southern part of Route 210 due to a rampage
of Psyduck, so no birds so cloudy (Swablu) yet, unfortunately. There is still
quite a few new things to capture though - most notably Scyther! While it is
rare it is most certainly possible to find and you are quite likely to come
across one at some point. To begin, head over to the right and pick the berries
then get on your bike and go up the hill. Another jogger is here who will only
face you in the morning. Bah. Go over to the right and talk to the woman on the
north end of the mount to get TM51, Roost. Go down the hill via the mudslide &
battle the rancher here, with the familiar Ponyta archetype. Go further up and
face the double battle of Rancher and Cowgirl here, with what is possibly the
most awkward starting quote. It has so much innuendo in it. Of note is the fact
that the farmers have a Rapidash; it can be a little tricky to take down but
it's nothing that hard. Go back into the grass and this time go over the mud
and battle the twins here (it is practically impossible not to after you speed
bike over the mudslide...) Also, an interesting tidbit. If you press START in
a double battle during the choosing an option part, it will swap your Pokemon's
HP bars for actual numbers. Not too bad but it doesn't look as pretty.
Go around the grass and battle the breeder here to add some new Pokemon to your
PokeDex. Using the VS Seeker on this breeder isn't a bad idea because you get
a massive 1255 exp from the Happiny. It caused my Kirlia to evolve into Gardy.
Took long enough :o Go and pick up the Super Repel on the floor.
Jump off the ledge and battle the second breeder here to add Magby to your
PokeDex, as well as Togepi if it never hatched afterwards. Go inside the
cafe.
The Cafe
---------
Items: Moomoo Milk
Trainers' Pokemon: Clefairy L25, Munchlax L25, Heracross L25
Small building, but with three trainers. Battle the two collectors and also the
waitress at the top of the bar to add some new stuff to your Dex. You can also
buy Moo Moo Milk here for $500 a piece. Healing 100 HP and being CHEAPER than
Super Potions (by $250) is a pretty good bargain. Buy a couple if you wish,
since thankfully Platinum now lets you buy them in dozens, then go and head to
the right unless you want to slather honey on the tree first.

Lovely heavily raining route. Piplup users will be right in the zone here. This
is also a good place to get a Kadabra or Abra if you're looking for a Psychic
type. To begin with go over the bridge structure and battle the Ruin Maniac to
add Shieldon to your PokeDex then continue over to the right and pick up the
Max Ether. Battle the jogger if you can, go up the ramps and talk to the guy
to get TM66, Payback. Go across the bridges, battle the fighter here to add
Croagunk to your dex, then cut the tree to the right and battle the next guy
here and pick up the Fist Plate afterwards. Jump off the ledge, head straight
south if you want some berries - otherwise, just go up the ramp - and cut the
tree here to access some berries. Pick them, then go up the ramp and down to
pick up a Hyper Potion and go north down the stairs. One reader has said there
is an Ultra Ball in the large patch of grass just above the berries too. I was
probably too lazy to go through it or something, so thanks for that :P
Go a bit more to the right (use the Cut path or not, it doesn't matter at all)
and battle the fighter for a little more exp. Over to the right, take a trip
through the grass and grab the HP Up if you're feeling up to a possible 1-3
fights. Go down, cut the tree and pick up TM34, Shock Wave in the gap here. Not
too bad a move for a Kadabra or Alakazam or something. Another jogger here,
fight/ignore. Jump off the ledge to get the Full Heal, go back through the
grass then initiate the battle with the Ace Trainers (you can also do it
seperately, if you prefer.) These Ace Trainers have some pretty good Pokemon
but they don't have that awful Gyarados they had in D/P anymore (I HATED THAT
THING). Go down a bit more to pick up some berries. That is all for this route,
so head through the gatehouse and then into Veilstone City.
===============================================================================
[037] VEILSTONE CITY [MW037]
===============================================================================
Items: Counter app, TM63 Embargo, Coin Case

Nothing special happens when you enter the city, so go and head for the Pokemon
Center. Veilstone is the big city of Sinnoh, like the other three big cities
(Celadon, Veilstone, Lilycove) are in their respective regions, having a large
department store instead of a regular Poke Mart meaning you can buy a large
variety of stuff. Go there if you want to shop like I'm directing you to now...
This particular department store has about six floors in total. The first floor
is home to battling neccessities such as healing items and Poke Balls, as well
as random mail. The list is as follows:
o-------------------------------o-------------------------------o
| LEFT CLERK | RIGHT CLERK |
o-------------------------------o-------------------------------o
| :: Poke Ball $200 | :: Potion $300 |
| :: Great Ball $600 | :: Super Potion $750 |
| :: Ultra Ball $1200 | :: Hyper Potion $1200 |
| :: Escape Rope $550 | :: Max Potion $2500 |
| :: Poke Doll $1000 | :: Revive $1500 |
| :: Repel $350 | :: Antidote $100 |
| :: Super Repel $500 | :: Parlyz Heal $200 |
| :: Max Repel $700 | :: Burn Heal $250 |
| :: Grass Mail $50 | :: Ice Heal $250 |
| :: Flame Mail $50 | :: Awakening $250 |
| :: Bubble Mail $50 | :: Full Heal $600 |
| :: Space Mail $50 | |
o-------------------------------o-------------------------------o
The bottom floor (B1F, if you go down the stairs) is a unique addition to Plat,
selling unique items such as berries. The leftmost clerk has these items:
o-------------------------------o
| LEFT CLERK |
o-------------------------------o
| :: Figy Berry $20 |
| :: Wiki Berry $20 |
| :: Mago Berry $20 |
| :: Aguav Berry $20 |
| :: Iapapa Berry $20 |
o-------------------------------o
The middle cashier will allow you to buy poffins with the Poffin Case you got
earlier on, costing $6,400 for each poffin. They are all level 32, and they all
share the same smoothness as well - specifically, 20. It can be quite useful
for evolving Feebas and such if you're not very good at making poffins.
The right cashier allows you to buy Lava Cookies, items that are usually from
Hoenn with the same property as a Full Heal. One lava cookie costs $200 and you
can also buy them in batches of ten costing $2000.
The second floor of the dept store is home to three things. First off, talk
to the bottommost clerk behind the counter to receive the COUNTER Poketch app,
allowing you to press a button to keep a running count of something. The other
two clerks sell this floor's specialities - stat boosting items. One has out-of
battle stat boosters while the other has in-battle stat boosters as follows:
o-------------------------------o-------------------------------o
| TOP CLERK | MIDDLE CLERK |
o-------------------------------o-------------------------------o
| :: X Speed $350 | :: Protein $9800 |
| :: X Attack $500 | :: Iron $9800 |
| :: X Defend $550 | :: Calcium $9800 |
| :: Guard Spec. $700 | :: Zinc $9800 |
| :: Dire Hit $650 | :: Carbos $9800 |
| :: X Accuarcy $950 | :: HP Up $9800 |
| :: X Special $350 | |
| :: X. Sp. Def $350 | |
o-------------------------------o-------------------------------o
Moving up to the third floor lets you buy some useful TMs. The top clerk has
many support moves while the bottom holds powerful hitting, lower accuarcy
moves. The list is as follows:
o-------------------------------o-------------------------------o
| TOP CLERK | BOTTOM CLERK |
o-------------------------------o-------------------------------o
| :: TM83 Natural Gift $2000 | :: TM38 Fire Blast $5500 |
| :: TM17 Protect $2000 | :: TM25 Thunder $5500 |
| :: TM54 False Swipe $2000 | :: TM14 Blizzard $5500 |
| :: TM20 Safeguard $2000 | :: TM22 Solarbeam $3000 |
| :: TM33 Reflect $2000 | :: TM52 Focus Blast $5500 |
| :: TM16 Light Screen $2000 | :: TM15 Hyper Beam $7500 |
| :: TM70 Flash $1000 | |
o-------------------------------o-------------------------------o
Buying Focus Blast may not be a bad idea for your Psychic-types, amd the Fire
Blast/Thunder/Blizzard TMs can also come in useful, especially for those who
have a Prinplup and are wanting an ice move for it, as unaccurate as Blizzard
can be... fourth floor time, I think.
The fourth floor contains furniture for your secret base, which is something
you never actually need in the game. You can buy the following items:
o-------------------------------o-------------------------------o
| TOP CLERK | BOTTOM CLERK |
o-------------------------------o-------------------------------o
| :: Yellow Cushion $500 | :: Munchlax Doll $2000 |
| :: Cupboard $1000 | :: Bonsly Doll $2000 |
| :: TV $4500 | :: Mime Jr. Doll $2000 |
| :: Refrigeratior $1000 | :: Mantyke Doll $3000 |
| :: Pretty Sink $3000 | :: Buizel Doll $3000 |
| | :: Chatot Doll $3000 |
o-------------------------------o-------------------------------o
The fifth floor is the top floor, with the usual vending machines. The vending
machines allow you to buy Fresh Water, Soda Pop or Lemonade for $200, $300 or
$350 respectively. Lemonade is a good bargain for a very cheap price and a lot
of HP healing for this point (80 HP recovery is not to be underestimated, even
though you can also buy Moomoo Milk...)
When you're done shopping you can just use the elevator to return to the first
floor. Next, head to the bottom row of houses in Veilstone. The furthest two
right are the Game Corner and the prize building, the former of which has some
really neat music if you go inside. Head up the stairs for the left side of
houses and talk to the Roughneck standing there to get TM63.
The left house here is the groomer of this game. Enter and talk to her to get
one of your Pokemon groomed, raising its happiness. When she grooms one of your
Pokemon, there is also a chance she will find an accessory for Super Contests
which she will giev to you after the grooming. In the house on the right, you
can talk to the clown for a Coin Case, allowing you to participate in the Game
Corner events.
Next, head back to where the Pokemon Center is and enter the house on the right
side. If you talk to the guy there with a spare slot in your party, you will
receive a Level 25 Porygon, completely free of charge. This is the only Porygon
you can get for a long while, so if you want to use a Porygon2 or Porygon-Z (or
perhaps Porygon itself) in your team then you will have to use this one. There
is a Dubious Disc obtainable later as well, so don't worry about not being able
to evolve Porygon2 or anything - and of course, you should already have the Up-
Grade from the Galactic Hideout in Eterna City.
That is everything for the actual city, for now. Head for the bottom left of
Veilstone, where the gym is located. Dawn or Lucas will be waiting outside
the gym and will talk to you for a second. Then Crasher Wake will come out from
the Veilstone gym (he is the fourth Gym Leader, water. We'll be battling him
soon enough) and after some dialogue, he will leave. After all of the extra
company has gone, gear up and head inside the Veilstone gym. Note that the
Pokeball you can see there is an item that we cannot get until we pick up Rock
Climb and get the seventh badge of the game, so it won't be for a little while
yet.

[038] VEILSTONE GYM [MW038]
===============================================================================
Items: TM60 Drain Punch, Cobble Badge

L25, Machoke L25, Croagunk L26, Machoke L26, Heracross L28
Veilstone Gym is another gym that has been revamped with a new puzzle - this
time you must now push punching bags instead of the slider things and it can
get a bit annoying at times. To begin with, head to the left of the orange
punching bag hanging just in front of the raised ring and push against it to
have it swing over to the right and smash the tyres (?) that are stacked there
allowing you to go through. Do so, climb onto the stadium, and fight the gym
trainer here. Once you defeat him, go back down the steps you came up from
and go behind the punching bag here (despite first appearances you can walk
in these tiles - you are actually under the pole thingy) and push it so that
it clips on to the next orange part on the top pole. Keep doing this until
it will no longer move, then push the punching bag that is now right next to
it upwards as well to smash some more tyres.
Go onto the second stadium and defeat this gym trainer as well. Go down the
steps on the other end and battle the third gym trainer, who finally uses
something that is not a Machop, Machoke or Meditite. Afterwards, go over the
left side and battle the fourth and final gym trainer in Veilstone. Then we
can start working on the punching bag puzzle once more.
Push the punching bag next to the fourth trainer down once, then push it to
the right to break another bunch of tyres. Afterwards, go to the bottom right
bag (the one that is slightly higher than the bottommost one) and push it once
upwards, then to the left, and then down to give it the force it needs to hit
the bunch of tyres here enough to break them. Use the newly formed gap to get
at the now accessible bottom punching bag and push it up and then right from
where it locks onto the pole. Lastly, go back up the top right stadium and from
the stairs downwards go north and around (since you can actually go behind the
punching bag there) and push this northern punching bag to the left to break
more tyres. Push it to the left once more to break all the tyres, then cross
back over the top right stadium and go in between the training boards to the
last punching bag. Push it once to the right to break the tyres in front of
Maylene. Lastly, approach the top right stadium, get on the steps then go north
to finally arrive on Maylene's platform. Save and begin.

STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Personally this gym battle was an absolute goldmine for me because my team is
so strong against Fighting-types, but it may not be the same for you. Having a
Staravia or if you've really been training a Staraptor will help with this
fight considerably as you will be able to deal super effective damage on both
Meditite and Machoke, the former of which is very frail. Having a Psychic-type
such as Gardevoir or Kadabra/Alakazam will also help considerably with this
fight, and certainly with the Lucario too if you taught your Psychic the Focus
Blast TM that you could get in the Veilstone dept store.
Overall it isn't too hard of a battle. Remember to note that Lucario has Steel
typing alongside its Fighting - this means it is resistant to a plethora of
types and also makes Psychic non-effective (neutral) but it also means that
Lucario is weak to Fire, Fighting and Ground moves, so using some of them on
Lucario is a possile option. It has Force Palm and Metal Claw attacks which are
relatively weak (though be warned that Force Palm CAN paralyze your Pokemon).
Thankfully it doesn't have Aura Sphere so it shouldn't be too hard to take
down. Type matching is always the solution with these matters.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After winning against Maylene you will now have four badges, meaning Pokemon
from anywhere up to Level 50 will obey you without hestitation. Trading can
actually be pretty useful at this point because you will most likely not be
reaching Level 50s for a long while yet and probably not before you get your
sixth badge granting you control over Level 70 Pokemon, too.
Anyway, exit the gym once the fight is over and done with. We still have some
work to do in Veilstone because Dawn/Lucas is an idiot...
Veilstone City

Items: Star Piece
Trainers' Pokemon: Zubat L24, Stunky L26, Zubat L24, Croagunk L26
As soon as you exit the gym you will find Dawn or Lucas waiting outside and
they will explain how they dropped their PokeDex and now Galactic has it. Good
going. >:
Head for the very north of Veilstone City where the two Galactic grunts are.
First, go slightly up and pick up the Star Piece, then back down and talk to
Dawn or Lucas again there to start an easy double battle fight. Enter the
warehouse afterwards. Looker will drag you in there anyway (that is still a
REALLY bad name, honestly.)
Galactic Warehouse
-------------------
Items: HM02 Fly
Trainers' Pokemon: N/A
In here, wait a minute for Looker to actually let you move, then go over and
collect Fly. Leave the warehouse afterwards.
Our next step is Route 214, to the south east of Veilstone City (unfortunately
the way to Route 212 from Hearthome is STILL blocked by Gabby and Ty.) Go to
the south east and head through the gatehouse to get onto the route.

Ah, Route 214. The one most notable thing here is HOUNDOUR! About time they
let you actually use it in a team apart from on Pokemon XD. Catching one is a
good idea if you need a Fire type and it will evolve into a Houndoom very soon
as well due to the low evolution level it has. Yes, I'm a bit of a fan of it.
Starmie is my favourite but you can't get one >: If you do want to use a Hound
then you should probably go back to Veilstone and by a TM35 Fire Blast since
you can't get the Flamethrower TM for a while and the next fire move it learns
is Fire Fang, and it doesn't even get that until 30/32 (depending on if you
evolve Houndour or not).
Begin by going south and battling the Psychic. We'll go around this route
clockwise; go right and pick the berries then head down (go into the grass
if you want to catch some Wild stuff as well. Rhyhorn is the other notable
addition to Route 214 but it doesn't evolve for aaaaaaaaaaaages.)
Battle the investigator and the fat guy here, and pick up the Max Repel on the
floor here. You definitely want to battle the collector to add a ton of new
Pokemon to your PokeDex! I'm thinking this guy took a trip to the Great Marsh
at some point. Six Pokemon and all of them being from the Great Marsh is no
mere coincidence.
Go down and face the beauty to add Wormadam to your dex, one of the most
commonly missed Pokemon in the game from what I know. The beauty now sports all
three types of Wormadam as well though I'm pretty sure you only need to see one
of them anyway. Go a bit further down and challenge the Psychic to a duel (a
bit Yu-Gi-Oh there, much?) and go to the ring of grass on the left and press
A facing the one tile without grass on it to pick up a Carbos.
Exit the grass ring and go further down. You might notice an indent in the
trees here; this will become the path to the Sendoff Spring later on. Keep
going down until you reach the Collector and as always, battle. These trainers
are complete goldmines for PokeDex entries. The weird thing was, this Collector
- when I tried to use Fire Blast on his Jolteon and missed - actually switched
to Flareon to try and catch me out with Flash Fire. Very weird for a random
trainer on the road. But Fire Blast missed Flareon anyway :D Not to mention
I got two critical hit Bite attacks on the Vaporeon. Woo.
Afterwards, go to the left side of the fence and head up so we can finally
enter the patch of grass by here. Pick up the Big Root on the floor. Then go
into the southern path of grass and pick up the Red Shard on the floor here.
Then go to the left and ride up onto the mount. Battle the Ruin Maniac here
then go around, into the grass and battle the Collector that will add Porygon
to your PokeDex if you haven't already picked it up. Then go to the far right
and press A on the one patch of ground in this fenced area that doesn't have
grass on it to get a Razor Fang, allowing you to evolve any Gligar. Go further
up and battle the second Ruin Maniac here, this one with a Cranidos instead of
a Shieldon.
Go down and pick up the Magmarizer on the floor here - this will be helpful
if you want to catch the latest Fire Pokemon, Magmar (you'll be able to get it
after we get Surf.) Go through the grass or smash the rocks, then enter the
cave entrance by here to get into the Ruin Maniac's Cave.

Not a whole lot here, but if you ever get twenty-six Unown this cave will
become a tunnel to that upper ledge you got earlier, also allowing you to
catch the ! and ? Unowns that cannot be normally found in Solaceon Ruins. Talk
to the 'Ruin Maniac' who doesn't even have a Ruin Maniac overworld sprite to
accept his challenge of sorts, then pick up the Dig TM by the rocks. Leave the
cave unless you want to catch a Hippopotas or something.
After leaving, head to the far south until you reach Valour Lakefront.

This is practically the same as Route 214 but it also contains wild Girafarig
if you're looking to catch one of those, as well as higher levelled Pokemon
from Route 214. We won't be able to actually enter the lake by here for a while
due to silly people blocking it for the 'good of humanity' or something, but
it will become an important plot place later on. Pick up the Ultra Ball in the
grass here, then keep going south to enter the hotel vicinity.
Grand Lake Hotel
-----------------
Items: PP Up, TM92 Trick Room, Suite Key
Trainers' Pokemon: Various, including Pichu, Quagsire, Pachirisu, Magnemite,
Kirlia, Mr. Mime, Lickitung, Cleffa, Clefairy, Machoke, Chingling, Buneary,
Bronzor, Finneon and Rhyhorn with levels 24-31, most commonly about 26.
Talk to the beauty waiting outside the house here to learn that she has lost
her house key. We'll get to that in a minute; the path to the right leads to
Sunyshore City but we cannot get there for a very long time yet. Head to the
left and enter the bigger building.
This is the restaurant, comprised of double battle fights that change every
day, so it is hard to really get a proper record of what Pokemon appear here.
It's alright if you want some experience but personally I usually just don't
bother with it. I did this for my Houndoom but eh.
If you enter the house to the far left you will find the Game Freak employee
of this game, and I assume this is the guy who will give you a "diploma" if you
manage to get 493 Pokemon seen in your PokeDex (though it may well be 490 since
it tends to cut out some of the hard to get Pokemon like Darkrai, Celebi and
such. In fact, it may actually be even less. If I recall correctly, you got
a diploma in RSE for having a specific 382 out of the 386 Pokemon. FLameslash
confirms that seeing the guy having your National Dex complete (as in seen all
of the Pokemon rather than caught) will allow you to view a diploma, saying you
have made a recognizable achievement in Sinnoh. That's fine and all, but where
is the actual reward?!
Going down the stairs here will allow you to get a PP Up. It may technically be
in Route 213 but it is still behind the tree border. Go into the house on the
lower tier to the left and talk to the clown inside to get a TM92, Trick Room.
The house to the right contains no items but it does have a refernce to Johto's
weekly Clefairy dance in it, which is quite nice. That is all we can do in the
area for now, so head into the Gatehouse. We'll come back and get some stuff
later once you get Rock Climb.
When you go into the gatehouse, exit it, walk one step forward, then face left
and press A to pick up the Suite Key. Go back and talk to the girl locked
outside the door, then enter her house and talk to her to get the White Flute!
This flute basically attacks as a reverse repel of sorts; it increases the rate
of Pokemon encounters. It will never break either; it could prove quite useful
if you want to increase the encounters for some reason.
Now we're ready to exit the hotel area. Head down into the gatehouse.

In the gatehouse, you can talk to the guard here to heal your Pokemon like a
Pokemon Center, except it is much quicker. When you exit the building, collect
the Yellow Shard over to the left, then head down the steps. Use your Poketch
and swap to the Dowsing Machine app, because we have a hidden item to find.
There is a hidden Pearl four steps away from the sea on the right hand side,
and about three down from the raised rock. I thought this was the missing
hotel key when I was writing this, but it's worth mentioning >_>; I only found
out the key was in the hotel area after I already wrote the stuff about the
Pearl. Heh. I've been told there are actually quite a few Pearls and things
around here if you use the Dowsing App. They're mostly around the beach near
the entrance to the Resort, with the two swimmers.
Battle the two children here, one of whom has a sticker on their Marill, the
other having an eastern Shellos which no trainers actually had back in Diamond
and Pearl. Nice to see some variation now~ The Shellos trainer is also a good
source for HP EVs later on in the game.
Head a bit to the left and ignore the fisherman by here since all he says is
some dialogue. Go more left and talk to this fisherman here to enter a battle.
Afterwards head up and into the house. If you talk to this guy with a max
happiness Pokemon at the front of your party, you will get an utterly useless
'Footprint Ribbon'. At least it is some sort of reward.
Exit the house, go up and battle the beauty. Afterwards, go over to the left
and break the rock. This passage contains a honey tree that you can slather
if you want to catch something on it. Also, if you go one step right from the
right side of the bottom two tiles of the honey tree and press A, you will
get a hidden Hyper Potion on the ground.
Return to the beauty and this time go right and smash the rock. Pick up the
TM40 Aerial Ace here. That is all for now, so head up and left into Pastoria
(though there are some berries you can pick too.)

Head over to the Poke Center to begin with and heal up. Over to the right of
the Pokemon Center is a billboard that has a Croagunk body you can put your
head into. Real pity you can't take an actual photo of that, heh. Would
be fun to have that in the background of your trainer card or something.
Anyway, if you go a little to the south you will see the Pastoria Gym, which
we will be visiting in a little bit. Go a bit right and pick the berries.
If you enter the house below the mud patch you will find the Move Tutor's house
and if you talk to the move tutor (the big guy) with a Heart Scale in your
ivnentory then he will teach one of your Pokemon a move they have 'forgotten'
(ie learned before in a level-up and have since lost it) in exchange for the
Heart Scale. Once you get the National Dex you will be able to get Heart Scales
in plenty of quantity and you can also find them in the Underground right now.
It can be helpful for teaching some moves like Wood Hammer to Torterra and
such.
The Pokemart is a bit further to the south; I'll list the market choices after
we finish the gym so the badge upgrades it. The shop also has a wooden carving
of a Croagunk in it, which is quite fitting for the city. The bottom left house
will give you a random berry. I got a Chilan Berry myself but I think you can
get different ones too. The woman should give you a new berry every day.
There is also a parting in the fence in the southern end of Pastoria that you
can enter for a little clearing and a puddle. If you use the Itemfinder you can
find a Zinc that is pretty much right in the middle of the puddle.
I think in one of the houses to the north-east as well, there is a guy who
wants to see a female and male Combee. If you show him both (I'm not sure if
they have to be in your party at the same time or not, but go ahead and do that
just to be safe) he will give you a Macho Brace, a good item if you're into
competitive battling.
That is everything in the main part of Pastoria. Next, we will enter the Great
Marsh. Head up to the top and enter the building. Ignore the Galactic Grunt
outside for the time being.
===============================================================================
[042] GREAT MARSH [MW042]

Entrance
------------
Items: Matchup Checker App
Trainers' Pokemon: N/A
The entrance to the marsh is a cosy little base with two floors. The first
floor is the one you must go through to get into the marsh while the second
floor contains telescopes that let you see a choice of five Pokemon each,
including one or two of the Pokemon that only appear on a certain day of the
week. The telescopes cost $100 to use and will show you five Pokemon in the
different areas of the marsh each time.
On the downstairs floor, you will probably notice the cowgirl by the desk. If
you catch five or more Pokemon in the marsh (same or different), she will give
you the Matchup Checker App when you come out, that lets you see if two Pokemon
are breeding compatible. For example, put a Skitty and Wailord in the breeding
center, touch the button and the Luvdisc should kiss, showing they can breed.
Lovely HSOWA. It shows three levels - basically you ahve different Pokemon in
the same breeding group, the same species of Pokemon owned by the same ID,
and two Pokemon of the same species with differing IDs. The latter is the most
effective and the quickest to produce an egg, usually.
When you're ready, enter the Marsh for the cheap price of $500.

We've got 30 balls to use and exactly 500 steps to spend. You may need to come
back in here more than once to pick up all of the items in here. If you talk
to the green haired Ace Trainer over to the right, then you can get a Red
Shard. First we'll head over into Area 1; go to the train and take it up to
Area 1 which is at the very top of the marsh. Once you get off the train, head
over to the left. Head into the swampy part on the left side here and follow
the grass trail. Basically in the marsh, if you step into the part of the pond
that is not lightly coloured then you will probably get stuck in the mud. It
isn't quite as fun as the game was, unfortunately :/
Follow the trail up until you get some solid land and pick up the Yellow
Shard on the ground here. Then follow the upper grass trail, get onto the
light path in the swamp water when you get the chance, and keep going until
you get to the right side where a Poke Ball is lying. How lovely.
Follow the grass path over again to the island that the Ruin Maniac is on,
then go across and head back up north to where the train is. Cross the bridge
on the train track to get into Area 2.
Go over the right to where the parasol lady is. Follow the grass trail around
and pick up the Blue Shard. That is really all in Areas 1 and 2.
Or at least it would be, but thanks to one reader with an alias of Myrrar, the
location of the Toxic Plate is now revealed! To quote from the e-mail I was
sent regarding this, with a slight correction regarding the area;
"In Area 2, by the parasol lady. Look for the stump immediately to her right.
The stump takes up 4 tiles, so stand 2 squares north of the northeast tile of
the stump and face north. Hit A and use the Dowsing App and you will see it.
It's in the dark water that is just north of the grass. Stand in the grass
facing north and press A." - Thank you very much for this!
Take the train to Area 4 afterwards.

Yeah, the levels have gone up pretty sharply here. Thankfully he hasn't evolved
his Pokemon yet, depsite having at least three that can (counting the fact
Roselia evolves with a stone.) Strongest attacks, yada yada. Nothing too hard.

Afterwards, heal if need be and go into the gym.

Wingull L29, Shellos L30, Golduck L31
If you wish you can go into Route 212 first to train a bit, but I'll be writing
this gym as though we're doing it now.
Pastoria's puzzle is the same as it was in Diamond and Pearl and it is still
a little annoying - not for difficulty, but the water takes ages to drain out.
Anyway, go down the steps, left etcetera and stand on the first yellow button
you come across to drain the water. Face the tuber here (optional, though)
Go down, ignore the green button and take the passage through to the next rised
part. Battle the fisherman (again, optional) and hit the green button to add
more water to the gym. Go back down the stairs again and follow the now changed
pathway to another raised part, and battle the sailor here. Now, press the blue
button to raise the water level even further, and take the new path around,
ignoring the yellow button on the way.
Battle the girl tuber, go further up, battle the fisherman if you wish, then
press the green button. Take the southern stairs down to the other side, press
the yellow button at the end rather than the one on the side, then go back up
the same stairs and this time go down the other stairs and follow the path
around, go up the stairs and fight the compulsory sailor.
Press the last blue button and now you can get to Crasher Wake! Save and talk
to him to start the fifth gym battle of the game.

| :: Quagsire Male Lv. 34 EXP: 997 |
| :: Floatzel Male Lv. 37 EXP: 1410| - @Sitrus Berry
o-----------------------------------------o
Reward: $4440, Fen Badge, TM55 Brine
STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Personally I had the perfect team for this because of Gardevoir's Magical
Leaf and Rotom's Shock Wave, but this gym battle can actually be quite hard if
you're not prepared. While Crasher Wake has the same Pokemon as in D/P, they
are several levels higher.
Gyarados actually has Physical attacks now, including Waterfall. Having an
electric type move will make it MUCH easier to take it out, but otherwise you
shall just have to improvise. If you have a rock-type attack that will also
work, but be warned that Waterfall will likely OHKO any Rock/Ground types due
to the 4x effective bonus.
Quagsire isn't too much of a threat, but the main thing to be wary of is that
it is a dual typed Pokemon, being Water and _Ground_. This means it has no
weaknesses apart from Grass, to which it is quadruple weak to. Electric attacks
have no effect on it whatsoever, and Electric-types that don't avoid Ground
attacks (ie not Rotom) can be killed in an instant by powerful Ground attacks.
If you have a Grass move such as Magical Leaf or just a Roselia/Grotle/Torterra
use that. Otherwise beat it down normally.
Floatzel is _fast_. Be warned that it does have Crunch, a physical eighty power
Dark-type move that can really damage your Ghost and Psychic-types. Ironically
Floatzel doesn't give as much EXP as Gyarados, but it can be quite the threat
if you're unprepared, especially considering its high level. It is relatively
frail and shouldn't kill most of your Pokemon in one hit, but given a type
advantage it may well 2HKO your Pokemon. Hit it fast and hit it hard.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Once you beat Crasher Wake, you will receive the Fen Bedge, allowing you to use
Surf. Exit the gym afterwards back into Pastoria.
Pastoria City
---------------
As soon as you exit the gym, your rival will come and tell you of an occurence
that has happened, and Crasher Wake will come out too. Crasher Wake will leave
and your rival will follow soon after. Go and heal and head over to the Great
Marsh. You might notice your rival peeking in throug the Croagunk billboard,
but he won't budge for the time being. Go and talk to Crasher Wake, then an
explosion will happen in the marsh, and the Galactic Grunt we saw earlier will
come out of the Marsh and run off. Chase time! Head back towards Route 214,
talking to the grunt if you see him then following. By the way, the market
now sells the following things. Quick Balls are some helpful balls that have
a very high capture rate when the battle first starts:-

Route 212
-----------
CATCH THE PIGEON. CATCH THE PIGEON! Keep harassing him each time you see him.
On the third time you talk to him, Looker will show up as well and practically
join the chase. Thankfully, he stops at the gatehouse to the lake. Keep going
up to Valour Lakefront.

Items: SecretPotion
Trainers' Pokemon: Croagunk L31
Talk to him once more on the hotel part to watch him scurry, then talk to him
once more below and he will finally fight you (why, I have no idea. Galactic
grunts are really stupid...) Finish the incredibly easy battle and the grunt
will go off-screen. Then Cynthia appears. CYNTHIA IS ACTUALLY THE HEAD OF TEAM
GALACTIC! WHAT A CONSPIRACY!
Nah, not really. Would have been funny though. Cynthia will talk to you a bit
before you get interrupted by your rival, who dashes off seconds later. Cynthia
will continue talking to you about the Psyduck on Route 210, and will then give
you the SecretPotion to help fix the problem. Another Johto reference! Cynthia
will leave afterwards.
Next in the story we go to Route 210 and then Celestic Town, meaning you can
completely skip past Route 212. However it contains some very important PokeDex
entries, as well as a mountain of experience. If you're following that part
of the walkthrough, fly back to Pastoria and exit through the southwest part.
Otherwise, fly to Solaceon, go north and then go to section #47.

Unlike D/P we have to do this route in reverse pretty much. Go forward and pick
the berries, then go back and up into the mud. Pull out your dowsing machine,
and go to the very top left of the mud. Head one space to the right, face
downwards and press A to get a Dawn Stone! This will allow you to evolve any
male Kirlia or later on, female Snorunt.
Go to the left and battle the Ace Trainer here, then pick up the Toxic TM
that you can find in a small square in the south-east of the large mud square.
Then go under the wooden bridge and follow it to the end, where you can pick
up a Revive on the floor.
Go back to where the berries were and cut down the tree, cross the bridge and
pick up the Hyper Potion on the floor here. Battle the scientist with magnets,
go a bit further west and battle the Parasol Lady, who should really use an
umbrella instead a parasol (though they are probably the same thing <:) then
pick up the Zinc here. Jump off the ledge. If you haven't got Cut, just go
west through the mud patches.
Battle another parasol lady by the house then go into the mud by her. Pick up
the Elixir on the land patch then turn back to where the Parasol Lady and the
house were. Going through the mud was just for an Elixir. Uwee hee hee!
I wonder how many of you will get that reference.
The hiker in the house here is one of the three new Move Tutors in this game.
For a certain shard price he will teach your Pokemon moves that they may be
able to learn, but you need the shards to pay him. It's worth it for some of
the moves he can teach to your Pokemon though, most notably the elemental
punches. Lucario is pretty good with Ice Punch, for example.
Exit the house if you went in there and begin to cross the bridge. Fight the
fisherman here then go north on the bridge and fight the fisherman there. Go
further up, cut the tree, ascend the mount and take the southern bridge. Don't
be fooled by this island - you can go behind the trees - do so and get to an
island that is apparently empty. Hidden item! There is a Big Mushroom in the
bottom left square by here. Pity it doesn't make your character super-sized
like it does in Mario.
From there head back to the last Fisherman you battled and this time take the
lower path on the bridge. Battle this fisherman then the collector to the left.
DO NOT MISS THIS COLLECTOR! This is the only place in the game you can see
Umbreon. The first time I played Platinum I took ages trying to find this
trainer... it is also the first time you get to see an Espeon but there is
a compulsory one much later on.
After that battle, go up the stairs and across the wooden bridge and pick up
the TM62 Silver Wind on the floor. Go back down, to the left and up and go
around the lake, battling the Policeman if you're able (night only, though.)
At the other end, take the non cut path and battle the scientist here. Pick
up the Full Heal, go north and pick up the Blue Shard. Then go to the right
and challenge the two trainers here to a double battle. One of the rangers
here has a Leafeon which you will want in your PokeDex for sure. Afterwards,
go north into the sunny side of the route. Yay for the north.

Pick up the Elixir behind the signpost then go through the patch of grass. Go
to the left (we'll come back to the mansion in a minute) and cut the tree here
then go through and pick up TM11, Sunny Day. Jump off the ledge and battle the
policeman here if possible, go up further and battle the second policeman here
if you can. Afterwards, head back down the route (you can go to Hearthome and
heal if need be) and battle the old couple down here. This is the real money
goldmine - one battle with either of these people will give you $5400, meaning
with the VS Seeker and Amulet Coin you can potentially get a massive $21,600
with each VS. Seeker use. This is the place to come for money.
Pick the berries growing here then head into the mansion walls. Battle the
officer if you can as usual, then go up and challenge the rich kids here to
a double battle (or singular if you would prefer), one of whom has a sticker
on their Prinplup. Afterwards, enter the mansion, but not before picking up
the Green Shard to the right of the wall.

* More Pokemon will appear here after the Elite Four. Check the appropriate *
* section in the aftermain walkthrough for details on this matter. *
*******************************************************************************
The mansion holds some important data for us. To begin with, go into the left
corridor and talk to the maid to begin a series of battles with maids, much
like the Winston family were outside Mauville in R/S/E. There are five battles
each with a Clefairy of rising level. I believe you can do this challenge once
every day, though.
When you attempt it, the maid will give you a certain number of turns to do
the challenge in. This is the total turns for ALL five battles, so if she says
"do it in five turns" then you need to finish off each Clefairy in one turn.
If you do this, you will get to fight the owner of the mansion who has a Blissey
he will fight you with. Saving before you attempt this is a good idea because
the Clefairy tend to have Endure which can screw up the turn amount quite
considerably. You may need to waste extra turns by switching or such too.
As for the Infinite Rare Candies, if you bring a Pokemon with Covet or Thief
and have it use that move on the Blissey in the battle with the owner, I
believe you get a Rare Candy, and this can be repeated once per day. This
appears to be true from what I've read, but apparently the Blissey also has
Fling, so STEAL THE RARE CANDY BEFORE IT GETS FLUNG AWAY!
Enter the far left room to get a free Luxury Ball, that causes a Pokemon to get
much higher happiness ratings when it catches something so it is helpful for
Pokemon that evolve from happiness like Chansey and Golbat, but they are rare.
Sleep in the bed to recover if you wish, then go into the next room to the
right and talk to the maid in here to receive a second Soothe Bell. In the
third room to the right, check the bin to find a Protein, then leave. Go across
the hallway to the corridor on the right and enter the only room in here.
Pick up the Swagger TM in the corner, then READ THE BOOK ON THE DESK. Make sure
you say yes to read it and Manaphy's picture will show up, adding it to your
PokeDex as seen - this is the only way to get it in there. That is all that is
in the mansion for now, but if you like you can go outside the back to the
Trophy Garden where some Wild Pokemon are located, most notably Pikachu and
Pichu which so far have been unobtainable - until now.
Afterwards, fly to Solaceon Town, then go north into Route 210. It will be
very helpful if you bring along a Pokemon that knows Defog.

In southern Route 210, just talk to the Psyduck to use the SecretPotion causing
them to scatter and flee. Go over to the left and go through the grass to pick
up a Max Repel, then go through the grass by here normally. This part of the
route is still the southern part, but we will be in the north soon enough.
There are a few ninja boys hiding in the grass; battle them if you wish. Pick
up the Hyper Potion in the clearing, too. There are three ninja boys - one in
the center, one to the east of the long grass and one in the west. When you're
ready, continue upward. Go through the right grass patch here to pick up a
Nest Ball, then go upwards.
You'll know you're in the north when the fog rolls in. If you have Defog on you
use it now. It isn't required but having Fog in every battle will result in the
accuarcy of all of your moves being decreased which can really be a pain.
Either way, go up and challenge the ninja boy here. Next, go through the grass
rather than the cut path to get a Red Shard (note you can catch Swablu in this
route!) then battle the Ace Trainer here.
Go up the mountain and do the double battle here which adds Raichu to your
PokeDex. Go further up to come into contact with another Ace Trainer here.
Note that the Rock Climb path right next to you leads to the Draco Meteor house
where you can teach any dragon Pokemon the move Draco Meteor if they're happy
enough. Finish off the Ace Trainer to add the sexy Probopass to your PokeDex
then continue to the west. Go across the thin bridge and battle the ninja boy
at the other end then continue south, break the rocks and pick up your prize
of TM30, Shadow Ball.
Return to the split road and take the thick bridge this time, having a forced
battle with the fighter here. Go down, head to the right and battle the Ninja
Boy then claim the Smoke Ball on the ground, allowing you to run away from any
Wild Pokemon without problems.
Head back west, battle the Bird Keeper, continue west and battle the Veteran
here. Head up the northern stairs and pick the berries, then take the western
stairs up and into Celestic Town.

A quiet little village. Go in the Pokemon Center and heal, then exit. If you
want to do some shopping, visit the top left house in Celestic; the stock is
identical to what it was in Pastoria with the exception that the Dusk Balls
have been replaced by Timer Balls. When you're ready to battle, head down the
center and talk to the Galactic grunt blocking the cave entrance to start a
fight when you say Yes to his question. After you beat him, the elder will come
and talk to you and you'll automatically give her the Old Charm. First, go over
to the right steps and climb them and pick up the Dragon Fang on the ground,
then go into the ruins. Note that one reader (Andrew L.) has found a hidden
King's Rock on the ledge directly opposite the Dragon Fang. Use the Dowsing App
to find it. A second reader known has Shane L. has also found it, so I'm quite
sure it is there.
Inspect the painting by pressing A on it and the elder will come to you and
comment on it herself. All of a sudden, Cyrus will appear, and after some more
dialogue he will actually attack you!

STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Ah, I love the music in the Galactic Boss battles. I wish you got to hear it
more than three times, really.
Be wary of Sneasel - it has Ice Punch, and running off its high Attack stat
as well as the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) it can be quite frail. A single
super-effective attack should off it however as it is very frail. Using Close
Combat from Staraptor or something would be a good idea if you have one.
Golbat is just an normal Golbat. Shoot it down with a well placed Electric,
Rock, Ice or Psychic attack, or just attack it normally. It's barely a threat.
Murkrow rounds off Cyrus' team with a Dark/Flying typing. It is incredily frail
but also quite fast and it has a Sitrus Berry to use. It is equipped with
Night Shade allowing it to deal 36 HP damage to anything it hits, but at this
point in the game the majority of your Pokemon will likely have upwards of 100
HP total. Just faint the Murkrow ASAP. Cyrus does have a Hyper Potion as well
which he will use if his Murkrow ends up in lower yellow or red health. Murkrow
also has Astonish which can possibly flinch, but it is a very weak Ghost-type
attack. It shouldn't be much of a problem. It also has Faint Attack as its
main arsenal, working off STAB and it will do plenty to your Psychic-type
Pokemon.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After you finish the battle, Cyrus will disappear and the elder of Celestic
Town will give you HM03 - Surf! Now there are a few more places we can explore
around Sinnoh to get some extra items and such. But first, go outside, talk
to Cynthia, heal up and then head out of Celestic Town via the west exit.

Pick the berries near the entrance to the route, then head through the grass.
Claim the Carbos lying in the grass, then fight the Blackbelt walking below.
Ascend the mountain and battle the hidden ninja boy here. Next, battle the Ruin
Maniac, jolly as always. Break the rocks at the top to get around (since we
don't have Strength yet) and battle the Bird Keeper by here.
Talk to the guy looking over the mountaintop to get TM77, Psych Up. After that,
enter Mt. Coronet.
Mt Coronet Route 211 West Entrance

Items: Escape Rope
We cannot actually go too far yet because we still lack Strength, but if you
go down from the entrance you can get an Escape Rope. That is all that we can
get in this part for now; exit the mountain.

Items: Protein, Dawn Stone, TM31 Brick Break, Iron, Rose Incense, TM84 Poison

Gyarados L32
Now to get some items. First, fly to Oreburgh City. Go up into Route 207 and
enter Mt. Coronet. Surf across the top part and collect a Protein, then jump
off the ledge and cross the raised rock here. Go atop the other stairs and
Surf across this too and pick up the Dawn Stone, then exit the cave afterwards.
Go back into Oreburgh and this time head for Oreburgh Gate. Descend to the
bottom floor and go to the far west, using your bike to go over the two ramps
on the bottom floor. Pick up the TM31 Brick Break on the floor here, then begin
Surfing on the water. Surf over to the left side and fight the Expert, adding
Riolu and Staraptor to your PokeDex, then... we have to leave. Damn boulder
needing Strength. Argh.
Exit Oreburgh Gate and fly to Hearthome. Take the south-western exit into Route
212 and Surf across the water that is in a straight line from the gatehouse and
collect the Iron on the other side.
Surf across the water near the old couple as well and collect the previously
unobtainable Rose Incense that is there, allowing you to breed for Budew.
If you go to southern 212, Surf on the water by the Policeman and the wooden
bridges and get on the small island to pick up TM84, Poison Jab.
Fly to Veilstone, go into Route 214 and Surf across the water on the right to
reach a Rare Candy.
Fly to Pastoria and Surf across the water to reach an alcove with a Mystic
Water lying on the floor.
Fly to Twinleaf, get your Dowsing Rod out, and Surf on the water. If you go
on the far left side of the water, two squares away from the top and press A on
the tree, you will get an Odd Keystone.
Fly to Pastoria, and head out to Route 213. Start Surfing on the water. There
is a way in to the bottom area just south of the part of the sea facing
the southern end of the large cliff in the middle of the route. There's a few
swimmers to face in here. Get on the shallow land when you come across it
and rather than go through the gap in the rocks and reach a dead end, go up
from where the sailor is and begin to Surf on the upper part of the water.
Battle/evade the swimmers and pick up the Water Stone on the shallow land.
If you Surf a bit further down, you can hop on and off on the shallow island
below and get to the center of the shallow island. Do so and press a on the
bottom left point of the triangle formed by the rocks to get a Big Pearl.
Afterwards, go back to the left side of the shallow water island, sidle between
the rock slab and the rock wall that looks impenetrable but really isn't and
fight the swimmers if need be. Grab the Max Revive on the shallow island here.
Fly to Floaroma and head south into Route 204 and keep going until you reach
the Ravaged Path. Break the rocks and go over to the left side of the area
and Surf, then keep following the water path over to the far right. Jump off,
collect the TM03 Water Pulse, then get back on the water, follow the path
back but this time get off at the left. Go through the passage here, breaking
any rocks along the way that you need to and collect the Luck Incense at the
end, allowing you to breed Happiny. Exit the area afterwards.
Fly back to Floaroma again. Go into Route 205, get on the bridge, Surf to the
right part of the water - behind the Valley Windworks. Pick up the Electrizer
here, then Surf further onto the very back island and pick up the Thunderbolt
TM! That is all for now; we will be able to get some more stuff later once
we get Strength and Waterfall.
If you fly to Solaceon and go down into Route 209, you can also Surf across
some water by there to reach TM19, Giga Drain.
Go back onto the bridge you sailed to Valley Windworks from and this time head
left. Follow the water up until you enter a place called 'Fuego Ironworks'.
By the way, you can actually do Routes 219, 220 and 221 now, if you wish. For
more information on them, see the section in the second part of the walkthrough
for they are completely unrequired, honestly.

Nothing much on the outside, but the most notable thing is your ability to get
both Magmar and Magnemite, both of which are new Pokemon in Sinnoh for Plat.
Magnemite users who get a 29 to 30 level Magnemite will be able to evolve it
into a Magnezone within two levels; one to evolve it into Magneton and another
level-up in Mt. Coronet somewhere to get it to evolve into a Magnezone. Magmar
can also be evolved now since we picked up the Magmarizer earlier, so do not
hestiate to use them if you want to!
Pick up the berries to the left side, then go through the grass and enter the
Ironworks.
Fuego Ironworks Inside
------------------------
Items: Yellow Shard, Calcium, Blue Shard, Fire Stone, Green Shard, Rock Incense
TM35 Flamethrower, Star Piece, Red Shard
Trainers' Pokemon: Machop L33, Machoke L33, Magnemite L32, Magnemite L32,
Magnemite L32, Magmar L35
To begin with, head to the left and take the first teleporter. Evade the one
that you end up right above and go around, entering the gap presented to you
next to another teleporter. Pick up the Yellow Shard in this alcove, then exit
the alcove and head around and take the teleporter on the left hand side. Talk
to the Worker here to initiate a battle. Afterwards, go south-east and take the
teleporter that goes up, then pick up the Calcium in this square.
Go up and take the teleporter up above that goes to the left, then circle and
this time take the teleporter going to the right instead of the one going up.
Battle the Worker in the place you arrive, and then afterwards take the arrow
going to the right in the top right corner.
Follow this path around then pick up the Blue Shard you arrive next to. Then
go back up the passage you just came through but go to the right and take the
right arrow. Pick up the now accessible Fire Stone, then take the left going
arrow, break out of the corridor and head around up to the dead end where a
Green Shard is located.
Go back around and take the same right arrow and this time take the arrow going
down over to the right. Take the top arrow of three here and fight the worker
you end up next to. Go back and navigate around the panels to get to the Rock
Incense for Bonsly. Pick it up, then go back into the alcove that the worker
was in and take the arrow on the other end to reach the center of the factory.
Talk to the guy inside to receive a Star Piece, and pick up the Flamethrower
TM next to the fire thingy..? Take the teleporter down, then go left, take that
teleporter, circle around, take the left one, go to the right, take the panel
going to the right and when you get to the alcove with the worker, take the
path down and collect the Red Shard against the wall. Take the down arrow
right next to it and exit the Ironworks.
Note that apparently there is a Star Piece -> Shard trade going on in here,
but I don't know the exact details. Either way, try to avoid selling your Star
Pieces since the shards are very useful for the move tutors!
Then go down and Surf across the river into Floaroma Meadow.
Floaroma Meadow
----------------
Items: Miracle Seed, Leaf Stone, Ultra Ball, Honey, Rare Candy, Max Revive
PP Up
Head straight down when you enter and pick up the Leaf Stone in the middle of
the flowers. Then go over to the top left and pick up the Miracle Seed. The
middle left holds an Ultra Ball to get and there is a Rare Candy in the bottom
left. There is also a hidden Max Revive right in the center of the meadow;
use your Dowsing Machine App to pinpoint it. In addition, there is a hidden
honey if you stand where the Ultra Ball was, then go five steps right, three
steps up and press A, as one reader has found.
AND there is a PP Up hidden above the Max Revive, which you can also use your
Dowsing App to find, as has said one reader.
Afterwards, fly to Jubilife City.

Now that we have Surf, we can explore this route much more fully. Use Surf to
get on the water then sail over to the right and pick up the Rare Candy on this
small piece of land. Next, Surf over to the left until you reach land and
battle the sailor by here to add Mantyke to your PokeDex. Go a bit further down
and battle the Guitarist by here who has a Magnemite with some nice stickers.
Pick the berries over to the right, then go over to the water and Surf but do
it below the rocks so that you can reach an island over to the right with two
Fishermen. Battle them both, then Surf around them and grab the Hyper Potion
sitting on the island. Go back to the main land, and enter the gatehouse into
Canalave.
Inside, one of Rowan's assistants will talk to you and give you an upgrade
to your PokeDex, allowing you to see different forms of Pokemon (ie the three
Burmy and Wormadam forms). It also shows both male and female versions. Anyway,
go throug the left side of the gatehouse into Canalave City.

Whew, about time we got here. I love the music in this city so much <3 Pity the
bike overrides the music. Go into the first house you see and talk to the
green haired woman to receive TM48, Skill Swap. I'll show the PokeMart later
as usual; the Poke Center is at the top of the right hand side. DO NOT CROSS
THE BRIDGE BEFORE HEALING, OR YOU WILL REGRET IT.
The third building up on the right side, including the PokeMart, has the Move
Deleter in it, a person who can remove any move your Pokemon has learned which
includes HM moves, so it is useful if you want to get rid of a move like Defog
or something.
Heal in the Pokemon Center, save if you wish, then head across the bridge. What
a surprise - your rival appears! He'll battle you again, and this time he does
have evolved Pokemon...

STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
While the rival's levels haven't rised much from Pastoria, the actual Pokemon
have had their stats raised a fair bit because of the evolutionary process they
have all undergone; even Ponyta, who normally doesn't evolve until Level 40.
I wonder why they made Ponyta evolve so late, anyway... Also, does the music
that plays when you load the Platinum title screen with Giratina on it sound
like Metroid music to you? Or is it just me?
Talk about going on a tangent. Anyway, Staraptor is fairly frail but watch out
for Intimidate which will weaken the first attacker to face it. It doesn't have
any particuarly strong moves (it may have Close Combat, I'm not sure) and it is
practically guaranteed to die in two hits at most to any Super-effective attack
because it has such awful defenses, especially Special Defense with only a very
small 50 base.
Heracross also dies quite easily. Using a Psychic or Fire attack on Heracross
will yield good results; using a Flying move on it will practically yield an
instant kill, because Heracross has a quadruple weakness to Flying moves. Be
warned that it has high attack power, so you do not want it to be able to hurt
your Pokemon! Take it out ASAP.
None of Floatzel, Roserade or Rapidash are particuarly troublesome, either.
Floatzel and Rapidash can be quite fast and Roserade has high Special Attack
power, but all three of them are very frail. Type match or whack them with a
strong attack to watch them crumple easily.
The starter is probably the hardest one here. It matched my own starter level
for level, but since I had Empoleon I just used Blizzard. Heh. Infernape is
fairly frail but fast; use a strong attack to take it out quickly. Empoleon
is part Steel, so don't expect a large amount of attacks to pierce it; however
Electric attacks will work like a charm, as will Ground attacks as well as
Fighting attacks. Pitting Infernape against Empoleon might not be such a bad
idea as Close Combat will likely OHKO it, and likewise if you use Earthquake
with Torterra on Infernape or have Empoleon smack Torterra with a Blizzard (it
has a quadruple ice weak, being Grass/Ground!) It doesn't take much to kill.

Your rival will leave afterwards. While we can actually do the gym now, I'll
be taking you to Iron Island. Enjoy?
Heal up at the Pokemon Center, then go down to the port. Rather than talking
to the sailor, choose to Surf off the wooden part and Surf downwards into a
hidden path with TM89 U-Turn at the end. Then go back to the port, and talk
to the sailor. Choose to set out for Iron Island. By the way, you will want a
spare slot in your party for this trip. You can leave any HM Slaves in the PC
because you will not need to use any HM moves to complete Iron Island...

|- Team up with Riley against Galactic! -|
|----------------------------------------|
| :: Lucario Male Lv. 41 EXP: --- |
o----------------------------------------o
Yeah, couldn't really think of a short title for this one. Go straight down and
engage in a double battle with the male/female fighters down here. As is the
usual, they use Fighting types, but both Medicham and Toxicroak are dual-typed
fighters so it makes a nice change. Be warned that using Surf in these battles
will also harm Lucario and will hit everyone for ~75% the usual damage it would
cause in a normal battle, but with all the Water-weak Pokemon down here it can
still prove to be very useful. After the battle, head further down and ascend
the staircase and grab the Ultra Ball here.
Afterwards. go back to the stairs but instead of going down them continue on
and go into the depression in the rock. Whisk out the Dowsing App if you want
to and press A in the most bottom left square of this depression to find an
Iron Plate. Then go back to the entrance and this time head west.
Battle the two hikers here then continue west and pick up the Dusk Ball. Ascend
the rock nearby and follow it down for a Magnet, then descend the raised rock
and take the open southern path down. You should be able to find a Worker duo;
challenge them. Afterwards, go over the raised rock to the left and pick up
the Max Potion. Go further south from the Workers and ascend more raised rock
and follow it around to the HP Up behind the barrel.
Now, go back past the Workers until you pass the raised rock that a Pokeball
is on, then go down the passage on the right side of this split. Follow it
around to steps, go up them and grab the item sitting there, which is a Red
Shard. Go back down and battle the Ace Trainer duo here.
Then keep going forward until you see the Galactic grunts. A battle will ensue
as per usual, with really poorly raised Pokemon. After the battle, Riley will
talk to you some more and if you have a spare slot in your party like I told
you to get before you went to Iron Island, then you will get a Riolu egg! This
is the thing that will evolve into Lucario given the right conditions (happy
and evolved at day.) If you don't have a spare slot in your party now then you
can get the egg later since Riley will always wait there until you collect the
egg from him. Descend the elevator and go into the room to the left.

We're pretty much done with Iron Island. Now is the best time to catch some
Pokemon if you need/want them. Ascend the eleavtor and pick up the Shiny Stone
lying there, meaning you can now evolve Roselia! Or if you actually raised it,
Togetic. You may also be wondering about this extra cave part here. This will
become important later if you're able to procure an event Regigigas, for it is
the place where Registeel rests. Either way, you can enter and collect the item
on the floor; namely, a Metal Coat, allowing you to evolve a Scizor or Onix.
Exit this part of the cave and then go over to the left to leave the dungeon.

This puzzle is entirely unchanged from D/P. The Pokemon inside are different
because of the new additions, so expect to see a few Magnemite and such.
When you enter the gym, go and face the Blackbelt. Face the worker a bit to the
east, then take the leftmost yellow plus up. Battle the Worker you come across
then reverse because it leads to a dead end. The second one across is pointless
as is the third so take the fourth one across and follow the paths. You will
have to fight an Ace Trainer along the way as well.
When you reach the third floor, take the upper slider and then on this section
go up and battle the Worker. Take the slider next to him and follow that path
fighting the Blackbelt along the way (why are there Blackbelts in Steel gyms
anyway..?) and keep following the path, also battling a female Ace Trainer.
You will reach Byron very soon after that. Save and challenge as usual.

STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Steel is a type with a hell of a lot of resistances, but three main weaknesses;
Fire, Ground and Fighting. Fire in particular will completely crush this team
though Ground or Fighting moves are preferred for Bastiodon due to the 4x weak
it has to them, or better yet a Water move because of Bastiodon's incredible
168 base defense. It's a pity it has really poor HP...
Magneton is mostly frail and will die to a well placed special attack that is
neutral or super effective and a decent physical attack will also be enough to
faint it. Be careful not to attempt to use a Flying-type move against it for it
has a massive 4x resistance to it meaning it will do near nothing (well, you
would think that but it probably would still deal like 25% HP...) It is quite
frail overall. Any Fire Pokemon can knock it out in an instant.
The same kind of holds for Steelix. Steelix is Steel and Ground with a HUGE
200 base defense, but it has a very poor special defense. It is still quite
susceptible to Ground and Fighting attacks but a lot of other Physical attacks
will fail against it. Fire or Water attacks will shut it down in an instant
and Grass attacks will also be decent against it. Be careful not to end up
using Electric attacks because the part Ground means Steelix is immune to them.
Bastiodon is Byron's main Pokemon. It has incredible defense but it doesn't get
too good offense, but be warned it does have Stone Edge to hurt your Fire-types
really badly (still, it didn't quite OHKO my Houndoom when I battled it... left
it with a low 3 HP though out of 113.) Its offense is pretty poor - the only
problem is getting past that 168 defense and 138 special defense. As I said
before, using Ground or Fighting attacks are your best bet, and Water will
work very well too. Honestly, if you chose Infernape as your starter, consider
this a badge free of charge. It will completely decimate this team. All three
starters can kill Bastiodon in an instant; Infernape can use Close Combat,
Empoleon can kill it with Surf and Torterra can use Earthquake to quickly end
it. As intimidating as it might look, it is quite easy to take down. I swear
I'm contradicting myself here...
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After you complete the battle, take the teleporter to the right of Byron and
follow the path around to get a free trip to the beginning of the gym. Exit
into Canalave City.
Canalave City
--------------
Your rival will be right in your face when you exit. How lovely. He'll tell you
to go to the Canalave Library; do so, for we need to so that we can forward the
events of the story. You could actually just go straight for the 7th gym badge
now but we may as well sort out the lake problems first... Heal as per usual
then go to the top floor of the library (the tallest building of the city, in
the top left of it.) Your rival stays outside it to remind you to come in until
you talk to him as well. Lovely. Talk to him to get him to go inside, then
follow. Just keep ascending the stairs inside, there's no items or anything.
When you reach the top floor, your rival will lead you to a table with Dawn &
Prof. Rowan sitting on it too. The rival makes a move to go but Rowan's epic
stare causes him to sit down. I like to think Rowan may be able to contend
with Golden Sun's Kraden at some points. Kraden/Rowan pairing. Mmmm...
Hah, anyway, Rowan will talk like a boring history teacher. All of a sudden,
there will be a large earthquake! Follow the others and exit the library. Talk
to a few of the people left in there if you like since some of the dialogue
has changed to some funny phrases.Before the rest of them leave, there will
be an image on the TV showing a large explosion coming from somewhere...
could it be one of the lakes?
Exit the library and a sailor will come an inform you about what has happened.
We have to go to Lake Valour to investigate and it means we can finally go into
the lake now, since the cameramen will have gone. Fly to Pastoria City. But if
you want to shop in Canalave first, here are your new options...
...Nah, not really. In this particular case the choice has not changed from
Pastoria City. I'll list it here anyway, with two minor changes... specifically

was a chase scene of sorts with a timer and everything, but that's never going
to happen in a Pokemon game :(. It'd be fun if there was something like the
time where you have to quickly get to Strut A in Metal Gear Solid 2 before

Saturn's hair always looks like a hat of some sort. I have no idea why but it
does. It only looks like hair in the offical art to me... I am interested to
know why his Pokemon are female, too. Don't they normally match the trainer's
gender..?
Golbat. lolbat. Just kill it as always, it's nothing special. It has moves like
Supersonic and Air Cutter at its arsenal. So frail, so weak. Bah.
Bronzor is annoying as always. Smack it with a Fire attack if you have one,
otherwise try to hit it with your strongest attacks. It rarely goes down with
one hit unless it is type effective but it has little offense. Be warned that
it may have Hypnosis though.
Toxicroak, unlike Purugly and Skuntank, can actually be quite frail. Smack it
with a Psychic attack and watch it die a painful death. Alternatively, hit it
with a Ground or Flying attack to do good damage too. Or just overpower it.

Rowan greets you when you enter, as well as the familiar Galactic music. Dawn
is at the top (or Lucas) and we need to go join her. To do so we need to fight
a few easy double battles; just work your way through the two presented. The
second double battle is not forced since you can fight the trainers seperately
but you have to battle the first as a double; it's unavoidable. I must say
Murkrow seem to be quite common in Platinum now; compared to D/P where Cyrus
was practically the only trainer to own one apart from some people in the Lost
Tower or something. I miss my Murkrow and Misdreavus ;-;
When you reach the other side of the lake, talk to Mars. She'll say some stuff
nobody cares about, then begin a battle. It isn't a battle with Dawn, though.

Golbat is identical to Saturn's. Deal with it in the same method, yadayada.
Bronzor is also identical to Saturn's. KILL IT WITH FIRE!
Purugly is still quite durable but now that you have fully evolved Pokemon
yourself for the most part it should be easy. One or two Fighting attacks will
cause it go down, otherwise try using strong attacks. It shouldn't do _too_
much damage to your Pokemon anymore. At least it won't 2HKO them with Scratch
like it used to be able to back in the Valley Windworks all that time ago.
It is very likely to use Fake Out on the first turn, but it's fair play after
it uses that. It is kinda fast, though.
You even get the same money as a reward. Wow.

After some really looong speech about the legendaries in the lakes, Galactic
will leave from Verity. We now need to check up on your rival at Lake Acuity

Yay, fog. You can also catch Feebas in here but it is so hard to obtain it may
not be worth bothering, as cool as Milotic is. Get it from a trade perhaps.
We won't be in here long so you don't really need Defog. Break the rock right
in front of you and collect the Ultra Ball in the gap. I do wish my Psychics
were not missing three times in a row here >_>
Take the top path up, and when a staircase to go down to the right slightly
presents itself, take it. Get the obstacles out of the way and collect the
Soft Sand at the end of the passage. Go back the way you came, up the steps
and this time continue heading north. Go down a staircase to the right near
the end of the northern path and move the boulder out of the way so you can
collect a Revive. Keep going around, break the rocks, collect the Full Restore.
Go back around and down the raised rock, then break the smashable rock right
below the staircase and follow the passage right to a Max Elixir. Get on the
water with Surf and go around to the bottom, surfing around the large rock
slab and land on the tiny island on the other side, picking up the Light Clay
on it, meaning a Pokemon equipped with it can boost the durability of Reflect
and Light Screen to eight turns instead of the usual five. There's nothing
else to collect in this room, so get off the water at the north again, go
left, up and right to the next floor up.
On this floor, enter the cave-inside-the-cave here. This is where Regice will
be, and you can pick up the NeverMeltIce inside for the time being. You can
also find a hidden Nugget in here if you use your dowsing machine app about
two squares above the NeverMeltIce.
Exit this room, then press A on the rock next to the entrance to the left to
get a Yellow Shard. That is all, so exit the cave to the left.

Welcome to the first snowy route of the game. Lovely atmosphere, calming music
and the slowest walking you will ever see in the history of Pokemon. Bah. I do
like these routes though. Very nice.
To begin with, ascend the stairs, ignore the bridge and continue to the end
of the snow and in the tile right at the end to the left is a PP Up; press A
while facing that tile to collect it. Then go across the bridge to the north
side of the canyon and collect the Full Heal at the end of this snow. Cross
the bridge south and battle the Skier here. Note that the snow routes have
eternal hail weather, so all of your non-Ice types will lose 1/16 of their HP
for each turn they're in battle. This also applies to opponent Pokemon as well.
Keep going and collect the Revive, cross the bridge, descend the stairs and
fight the Skier here. Then go to the right so we're going under the bridges
we just crossed and fight the Skier you come across to add Ambipom AND the
elusive Porygon2 to your PokeDex. You may also want to note that being in Hail
causes Blizzard to get 100% accuarcy, which is soemething that could come in
useful for Empoleon users because we cannot even get Ice Beam until we obtain
Rock Climb and get the Icicle Badge in Snowpoint City.
After the battle with the Porygon2, head back to the left and this time keep
going left until you reach a cabin. If you haven't noticed already, there are
some pretty neat Ice-types you can get here, including Snorunt at night. If
you still have a Dawn Stone left over and you catch a female Snorunt, you can
evolve it into a Froslass right off the bat.
On the way to the cabin, you'll need to battle another Skier. Enter the cabin,
enter the bed and press A to heal your Pokemon. This place is the "Pokemon
Center" of this route. Come back to it anytime you need healing.
Exit the cabin and make your way through the large grass patch to the left.
Battle the Skier/Ace Trainer in the grass (I don't know what type these are
damnit D:) to add the lovely Mr. Mime to your PokeDex, as well as the creepy
Dusclops. Go back to the cabin now if you need to heal again, then go past
the Ace Trainer and keep going north and you should reach Route 217.

Apparently Route 216 didn't have enough snow, so enjoy the deepest snow ever
as well as a lovely snowstorm! You can find exclusively Ice-types in the grass
here to the north-east, including Swinub. If you have a Heart Scale on you
and you get a Piloswine, head back to the Move Tutor in Pastoria and teach
Piloswine Ancientpower and watch it evolve upon levelling.
When you head up the route, Maylene will appear and talk to you for a bit.
After she leaves, go north and battle the unavoidable Ace Trainer by here.
He has an Electabuzz, which is pretty likely to start Thunder Waving your
Pokemon. It's pretty fast, so be wary. He also has Magmar, but that isn't
a lot of trouble really. Go back to the cabin if you need to heal Paralysis.
Going over to the left side of the route near the entrance should allow you to
find a hidden Revival Herb if you use the Dowsing App (thank you to a reader
for finding this!)
Afterwards, continue north. Hug the right wall, and go to collect the
item and end up being attacked by a Ninja Boy. Bah. Pick up the Ultra Ball
then battle the Skier to the right. Keep heading north, travelling through the
incredibly thick snow and hugging the right wall of trees until you come to a
Rare Candy; pick it up. Battle the skier a little further up and keep going
north until you reach a house. Enter and talk to the creepy woman inside to
receive a Spell Tag, then exit and go to the left. The grass is here if you
wish to catch Pokemon, and also the infamous ice rock. If you level up Eevee
anywhere on this route, it will promptly evolve into a Glaceon.
Follow the tree path around, battle the female Skier you come across to add
Glaceon and Piloswine to your PokeDex, then keep heading south from there to
a cabin. Pick up the HM08 Rock Climb outside it (YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS)
and the TM07 Hail out the front, the enter the cabin. Talk to the hiker inside
to get an Icicle Plate, then leave. If you keep going south there is a Ninja
Boy to battle on the left hand side. Keep going down then to the right to pick
up an Iron then keep heading south-west near the entrance to the route and
you should find a Blue Shard in the snow. Also if from here you head left and
then up, you will find a small alcove blocked by trees. Press A while facing
the top left square and you will get a Nugget. You might also want to battle
the skier by here. Then hug the trees to the right around following the path
that goes in a sideways U shape and you should end up near the cabin where you
got the Icicle Plate again.
This time keep heading north, past the Skier to enter a thinner part of the
route where you can battle a Blackbelt. Keep following the path up, battling
another Ace Trainer on the way and crossing through a large patch of grass
and you should end up at Acuity Lakefront.

This area is actually quite large, so unlike the other Lakefronts it definitely
deserves its own section. The grass holds nothing that wasn't in Route 217
though. You'll get a view of your rival but he's up a newly formed Rock Climb
ledge, which we can't get up yet. Keep heading east, go north in the large
clearing with tons of grass and pick up an Ultra Ball. Keep going east to
enter Snowpoint City at last.

Ah, I love this city. While it is a bit slow to walk through it it has some
lovely music and snow effects. Anyway, head down and pick up the Ultra Ball
on the floor to the right (there's a lot of these...) The boat becomes useful
later on. For now, head up the stairs here. The gym is right in the center
of the city, but we don't want to go there just yet. Go south-east to reach
the Pokemon Center so you can heal and bring out any new battlers you may have
caught on your travels through the snow routes. Maylene is also in the Pokemon
Center but she doesn't give you anything ;-;
Exit the center when you're done. The deep snow part to the direct right of
the Pokemon Gym has a hidden Rare Candy over on the far right which you can
locate with the Dowsing app. The southwest contains the PokeMart. The house
to the north-west has a trade with a Medicham for a Haunter. But unfortunately
the silly girl has attached an Everstone to the Haunter, so you're not getting
a free Gengar that way. Pity =/
At the top of the city is Snowpoint Temple, which at present we cannot actually
enter, but we'll be able to much later on. Finally, the top right house has the
second move tutor of the game. Enter the gym when you're ready.

This is probably the most confusing gym puzzle in the game. It is relatively
unchanged from D/P, but it is still confusing. To begin, go up to the very
top of the snow patch you're on and slide to the right to land on the small
snow circle. Next, slide up to break four snowballs and land on another snow
thingy. Slide up to the Skier and battle him, on a unique field thingy (you
don't see this sort of shiny ice anywhere else in the game) then slide back
down onto the snow patch and slide to the right and down to the Ace Trainer
to battle her as well.
Next, slide to the left to end up in front of snowballs that you aren't getting
to break yet, then slide down to return to near the start. Go left to land on
another snow patch, then slide to the left to get onto another ice patch.
Next, go up to battle an Ace Trainer, then slide left and up to another snow
patch. Then up and right to reach another one and slide down from there to
reach get another snow patch. Slide to the right to break a snowball and
end up on some stairs. Slide to the right then down to battle another Ace
Trainer, then slide left onto the stairs, right into the wall and down onto
a snow patch.
Next, slide to the left to break another snowball and end up on the stairs.
Go left and up to get another snow patch, then slide right to break a second
snowball. Go right and down onto the same snowpatch, go left twice into the
opposite wall, then this time go down, left, down, left, up to end up in front
of the Ace Trainer you battled already. From there, slide left, up and this
time slide to the right down the slope to break five snowballs.
Slide right into the wall, up into the wall, left into the Ace Trainer, down
into another ice trainer, left onto stairs, right and down onto a snow part,
left and left into a wall, down left down left onto more snow then slide
down again and then right onto the starting snow.
[We can actually access Candice now, but I'm going to guide you to the other
trainers for the experience first.]
From there, go to the very top of the safe snow and then slide to the left,
up, up again, right, down and down again to face an Ace Trainer we've yet
to battle. From there, slide to the right to break another snowball, up, left,
down, left, down, right onto the safe snow. Then go on the top line of snow,
slide to the right onto the snow patch, then slide up onto the snow patch
on the other side of the gym and slide left to battle the last trainer in the
gym.
Finally, slide down onto the other side of the gym, right onto the safe snow,
then position your character in the center of the three squares of snow on the
top row and keep sliding up until you reach Candice. Save and challenge.

STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Due to the influx of Ice-types Platinum has had, Candice now sports a fully
ice team rather than the team she had before with Medicham and something else
that wasn't Ice-typed.
Sneasel is fast and frail as always. Smack it with a strong attack and watch
it die. I don't recommend trying to use something like a Gardevoir against it
because Faint Attack will do a _lot_ of damage. Candice does have Hyper Potions
that she will use on Pokemon in red health as well. AND IT IS POSSIBLE FOR
HER TO SWITCH! She swapped from Sneasel to Abomasnow when I was trying to use
water attacks, for example.
Piloswine is the same as every other one you've faced. While it does have some
attack power, it is not too strong overall, but that's probably why it got an
evolution this generation. It probably has Avalanche, which has a large 180
base power when it attacks last due to STAB and the power being doubled so
watch out for that. A Fire, Water or Fighting move will probably shut it down
though.
Her sending Abomasnow into the battle will automatically start a Hail in the
arena because of Snow Warning, so be prepared for your health to be chipped
away. Abomasnow, despite appearances, is actually not all that durable having
no base stats above 100. A fire attack will completely mutilate it, and Flying
and Fighting attacks, as well as Rock, Bug etcetera will also be very good.
Ice/Grass is probably one of the worst typings in the game... Be warned that
Abomasnow does have Focus Blast to try and deal with Steel-types, but it is
rather inaccurate.
Froslass, now being in the Sinnoh Dex, is now Candice's "main" Pokemon instead
of Abomasnow. Froslass is a new evolution of Snorunt and is quite fast with a
110 base speed, but it sacrifices some defenses for this new stat arrangement.
It is Ice/Ghost type but other Ghost types probably won't work too well against
it because it sports the Shadow Ball move. Using a Fire Pokemon is probably the
best bet, or a Dark Pokemon. Houndoom is perfect for this. Alternatively you
can try a Rock move. Don't bother with Fighting because it will not affect it.
Froslass also has Double Team to raise its evasion, so FINISH IT QUICKLY!
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Just one more badge to get now. But we have a loooooooong chain of events to
go through before we can get to Sunyshore City. Exit the gym, heal up and head
out for Acuity Lakefront.

Items: Reaper Cloth
Backtrack to where we saw the rival on the Rock Climb ledge before. Make sure
one of your Pokemon know the Rock Climb move, and climb up the ledge, now
that we can use Rock Climb. Pick up the Reaper Cloth over to the right, then
enter the lake.

You'll enter to see Jupiter being the crap out of your rival. Metaphorically.
After some dialogue about being pathetic and all that, she'll leave. So very
professional, Jupiter is. Rival becomes philosophical, does a soliloquy, etc,
leaves, and so on. Same as usual. The water level is actually high enough
for us to Surf on the water here. There is nothing in the cavern at present
but Surf to the top right of the area to reach some land. Go through the grass
and pick up the TM14, Blizzard. That's all we can do here for now, but now
with Rock Climb there's a few more items we can collect. Fly to Pastoria.

First, head for Route 213. Use Rock Climb to get up onto the highly raised
platform and collect the TM05 Roar. Also if you use the Dowsing App, you can
find a HP Up hidden near here. Descend the platform and go around to the
platform where the beach resort is. Surf on the water here over to a small
beach and use Rock Climb to climb up. Rock Climb to the left first and talk to
the Rich Boy in here to get the Coin Toss app for your Poketch. (Thanks to
MBKilla for the HP Up thing.)
Next, exit the house and Rock Climb down and pick up the Protein by here.
Rock Climb back up, TO THE LEFT, TAKE IT BACK NOW YA'LL ONE HOP THIS TIME-
Ahem, climb back up from where you got the Protein, then climb down to the
right, rock climb upwards north twice and collect the Sun Stone hidden in the
piece of wall you can press A on here. Go back to the house where you got the
Coin Toss app and Rock Climb up to reach the main part of the resort.
Bike over to the top left near the house with the Game Freak employee and go
down the well hidden Rock Climb path two squares from the right of the house.
Go down the next one, Rock Climb back up the hard to see path to the right,
go across, back down, Rock Climb to the right and pick up the Iron and the
TM85 Dream Eater waiting here.
Lake Valour is still as dry as ever. However, the water level in Lake Verity
has risen enough to Surf. Travel to the bottom left corner of the lake and go
through the grass, picking up the TM38 Fire Blast located here.
Next, fly to Solaceon Town. Go up into Route 210 North, and descend down the
Rock Climb path to the right near the pacing Ace Trainer duo and the trainer on
the highest part of the route. Rock Climb up the other side and battle the
forced battle with the Dragon Tamer by here.
Just to the north-east of the Dragon Tamer is Grandma Wilma's house. If you
talk to her with a happy Dragon-type Pokemon in your party she can teach it
the move Draco Meteor. This could be helpful if you trained an Altaria...
Collect the Zinc just south of the house, then go over to where the Dragon
Tamer was and find the staircase near the Rock Climb part. Go down there,
press A one step from the end of the path and find a hidden Shiny Stone!
Afterwards, fly to Hearthome City. When you get there, go to Route 208 and
travel to just before the entrance to Mt. Coronet. Go around the bridges and
descend the stairs and Rock Climb up here to battle a Hiker. Break the rock
up here, get in the space it was in and press A while facing the left wall
to get a Star Piece.
Next, fly to Jubilife City. Go into the Poketch building (the one with the
flags with the top left) and talk to the president next to the counter (the
one wearing purple with brown hair) three different times to receive three
different Poketch apps.
Next, fly to Celestic Town. Go into Route 211, break the rocks on the raised
platform and climb up. Collect the Psychic TM up here. Afterwards, descend by
Rock Climbing, enter Mt. Coronet and go to Route 216. On the way, before you
go up the stairs from the basement in the foggy area, bring out the Dowsing
App just before you go up the stairs to get a hidden Rare Candy. Continue
travelling for Route 216.
In the snowy route, head left through the canyon. Keep going until you see
a Rock Climb path on the canyon's right hand wall. Go up it. Head to the right,
battle the Blackbelt then the two Skiers. Continue to the right, pick up the
Mental Herb, keep going to the right and pick up the HP Up by the north wall.
Fight the Skier then grab the item down south - a Max Potion. Then go and get
the Ice Beam TM on the far right!
Next, fly to Veilstone. Go around to near the gym and Rock Climb up here and
get the Full Incense to allow you to breed Munchlax.
Fly to Oreburgh City and descend to B1F of the gate. Surf across the water
again and this time move the boulder out of the way with Strength. Pick up the
Earth Plate then go north, break the rock, move the boulder and collect TM01,
Focus Punch. Exit the gate.
Fly back to Veilstone. Heal up, then go to the top right of Veilstone. Talk
to the grunt here to get him to leave, and Looker will appear and come talk to
you again. He'll tell you to go to the warehouse; do so. It's the place we got
Fly before, in the top left of the city.

[064] GALACTIC WAREHOUSE [MW064]
===============================================================================
Items: Dusk Stone, Zinc, TM49 Snatch, Dubious Disc, TM36 Sludge Bomb, Galactic
Key, TM21 Frustration
Trainers' Pokemon: Golbat L41, Houndour L38, Murkrow L40, Glameow L41,
Glameow L37, Croagunk L39, Murkrow L38, Stunky L41, Murkrow L39, Stunky L39,
Kirlia L40, Kadabra L40
Looker will come in with you and unlock the door for you. He'll rush in ahead.
Grab the Dusk Stone by here (which is utterly useless because both Murkrow and
Misdreavus are not in the game unless you trade...) and then descend the stairs
to the bottom floor.
The headquarters have some pretty cool music and a shadowy atmosphere of sorts.
Head to the right and battle the forced grunt. Sally forth, grab the Zinc in
the alcove when you come across it, then continue heading to the right. Battle
another grunt (prepare for a lot of these) and ascend the stairs at the end.
The grunt here won't battle you. Silly fool doesn't even have a Pokemon. Go up
the stairs and prepare for warp hell. Battle the female grunt here then take
the right teleporter and grab the Snatch TM in here. Reverse and this time use
the left teleporter.
Take the other teleporter in this room then go up the stairs. Battle the grunt
here and then go up the stairs again. I find myself wondering why Mars is the
only Galactic member to have a Purugly when so many Glameow are capable of
evolving. Hm.
On the upper floor, battle the grunt over to the left and continue around the
corridor. Battle the dashing grunt on the lower part, then continue to reach...
a locked door. We'll come back here in a minute.
Go back downstairs and this time take the teleporter. Go downstairs and battle
the scientist and grab the Dubious Disc, meaning you can get Porygon-Z now!
Descend the stairs by here.
Grab the Sludge Bomb TM and the Galactic Key on the floor. Now, go back to the
upper floor, go up another floor, take the teleporter, go up again and around
the corridor to the locked door. Open it with the key and take the TM21 inside
that contains Frustration.
Descend downstairs again and go back to where you found the key. Open the door
here, go left, down, upstairs and exit the hideout into the main city.
Now, go to the building we saw the Galactic grunt and Looker outside before.
Go in via the middle door, open the door here with the key and go upstairs.

[065] GALACTIC HEADQUARTERS [MW065]
===============================================================================
Items: Max Revive, Green Shard, Protein, Max Elixir, Master Ball, Full Restore
Trainers' Pokemon: Golbat L40, Golbat L38, Golbat L39, Houndour L39, Porygon2
L42, Stunky L38, Croagunk L38, Croagunk L40, Stunky L38, Glameow L38
Battle the two galactic grunts over to the right either seperately or together
then continue down the corridor. Enter the boxed area, battle the scientist
with a Porygon2 then jump on the teleporter.
You get to see a little event with Cyrus talking to the galactic members, with
you and Looker hiding in the corner. They'll all mysteriously leave without
seeing you afterwards and Looker will too.
Go back to the previous room, go out of the box and take the bottom teleporter.
Go across the corridor to another teleporter, and pick up a Max Revive. Return
to the original room and this time take the upper teleporter. Grab the Green
Shard in here, then go back to the conference room.
This time go across the room and take the teleporter. Go in the right bed and
press A to find a Poke Doll. Seems one of the Galactic members was sleeping
with this...? Press A again to get an option to heal your Pokemon. I wouldn't
feel safe sleeping in the enemy base personally, but there we go.
Go up the stairs, battle the grunts here, then continue to the left. Take the
top right teleporter first and grab the hidden Protein behind the box. Then go
back and use the top left teleporter and get the Max Elixir inside.
Use the bottom left teleporter now and go up the stairs. Welcome to the top
floor. You might notice Cyrus is on the other side of these locked doors. Save
if you wish, and open the door. Once you go in a bit, he will notice you. Some
dialogue, and then a battle will commence. With the best music in the game!
Well, one of the best anyway. Battle~

STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Sneasel is the same as always. It has Screech to lower your defenses and a
very powerful Ice Punch as well. It should go down fairly easily, especially
if you have an Empoleon. It has Slash and Ice Punch in its arsenal, neither
of which are particuarly effective aginst Steel-types.
Crobat is an incredibly fast Pokemon. It has Bite to ward off Psychics and
Ghosts, and it is probably capable of confusing your Pokemon as well. It is
fairly frail luckily and will die to one or two Psychic/Electric/Rock attacks
but be careful with it despite that.
Honchkrow has a sexy hat. You can't beat that. Game over for you. In reality,
Honchkrow has somewhat weak defenses, but very strong attacking power. I sent
out Staraptor against it personally for a bit of a Flying battle, but the best
Pokemon to sent out against it would probably be a Rock type. It has Drill Peck
as its main attacking move and with 120 base power it can do quite a fair bit.
It's safe to assume it has a Dark-type attack as well, so do not attempt to use
a Ghost/Psychic Pokemon against it or it will _not_ end well. Cyrus also has
one Full Restore to use, completely healing a Pokemon's HP as well as the
status. Luckily he only has one of these. Honchkrow will go down in fair time.
You know, I thought Weavile was Cyrus' main Pokemon, but I guess not? We'll see
soon enough anyway.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After the battle Cyrus will surprisingly give you a Master Ball! He'll leave
afterwards. Go in the direction he left and take the teleporter (the one that
is behind the desk is just into the conference room. There's nothing of worth
in there.
I have heard one report that there is in actuality a hidden RAZOR CLAW in here!
This will allow you to get Weavile much earlier if you're training a Sneasel
so I would recommend taking the time to find it if you have the opportunity.
Use the Dowsing App as always.
This is the creepy part of the hideout. Pick up the Full Restore next to the
yellow boxes then keep going on into the room where the trio are being kept.
Saturn is in here; talk to him to challenge him one final time. Pluto is also
in the room with Saturn, but he doesn't battle you like always.

Saturn is practically the same as last time, just a little higher levelled.
You can use identical tactics to last time and come out of this battle smelling
like a rose. It is really very easy. Two die to Psychic, the other to fire.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Afterwards you'll be able to push the button, releasing the trio. Saturn will
leave and we must now follow suit. Exit the creepy part of the hideout, then
from the yellow teleporter go down into the newly accessible area with the
green teleporter for a free ride down to the exit. Exit the building and fly
to Orebrugh City.
When you get there, heal your Pokemon, then go into Mt. Coronet from the Route
207 entrance.

Now we are really exploring Mt. Coronet. Go forward on the path and pick up the
Max Repel on the platform. I love having infinite item space... get off the
platform, head down and use Strength to get the boulder out of the way. Pick
up the Escape Rope down south, then go up on the platform and down south 'till
you get outside.
Pick up the Timer Ball by here, then Rock Climb down and get the Iron on the
ledge. Go back into 2F.
This time go north on the platform and go down the stairs, then go south and
follow the path to get the Rock Slide TM. Then go north, picking up the Max
Revive on the way, but try and be careful not to slip down the ledges.
When you approach the broken down door, Looker will appear again and after
some dialogue will just stay there. Weird. He will also give you a new item,
the Black Flute which will decrease the chance of Wild Pokemon appearing. The
flute never breaks, either, so it will come in useful a lot.
Enter the formed entrance from the wood being broken, and go up the stairs in
here.

you to the first of many Galactic grunts within Mt. Coronet. Enjoy.

Now this part is awesome. Snow again and really good music. Truly amazing. Go
right and take the grass path and press A on the first gap you see when you're
travelling through the two tile width grass to get a Max Potion. Rock Climb
up the part at the end and go to the right to enter a small part of 4F. Go
up the stairs and check the rock for a Stardust, then exit this small part.
Now go back left to exactly where you climbed up the rock, and use Rock Climb
on the wall to go up yet another level. Pick up the hidden Energy Root in the
gap between the first two grass tiles, then continue right and press A on the
rock to get a Star Piece (remember you can use the Black Flute to reduce the
Pokemon encounters!) Descend the rock again and this time head left and push
the boulder down. Go left and smash the rock and check the rock to get a Blue
Shard. Use the Dowsing App in the grass to find a Revival Herb then re-enter
the cave.

We can't explore this fully yet, but battle the Galactic grunt up the top then
use Rock Climb to get down. Travel across this part by going right, go up the
stairs, go left, up again, right and check the rock for a Green Shard.
Go back to where you first Rock Climbed and climb down the well hidden path
that goes down northwards. Go down to the bottommost part and start breaking
the rocks so that you can get through. Also, break the rock right at the top
of this rocky passage and check the revealed rock for a Heal Powder (use the
Dowsing App if you have trouble finding it.) Go down the short stairs and break
one of the rocks and check the revealed rock for a Stardust.
There is a Rare Candy by the spinning grunt, too, probably hidden. I can't
actually remember where said grunt is at the moment, but it should be around
there.
Next, use the Rock Climbable platform to go up (the lower passage is blocked
by a Galactic grunt for the time being.) Go up the stairs then down, break
the rock, take its position and check the wall to get a Green Shard. Then go
up, around battling the grunts until you reach the Rock Climbable part you
first went down. Use it and exit this cavern.

out of the way then follow that path down to the very bottom of this part,
and check the rock for a Stardust. You can also find a Full Restore on the
layer of rock above the one with the Stardust on it and no grass by using the
Dowsing App (it's a bit over to the left.) Enter the cavern on the far left.

Go up the stairs and battle the two grunts. There is also a hidden Rare Candy
in the space between the two grunts; use the Dowsing App to find it. Go to the
left and up the stairs to the final floor of Mt. Coronet afterwards. There is
a Full Restore behind one of the grunts, by the way (thank you, Drew!)

You might want to save first. Move forward in between the two grunts to get
sent into a fairly easy double battle. Now, DEFINITELY save, and put a Pokemon
that can deal with Bronzor to the front of your party. Walk forward in between
Mars and Jupiter for them to start attacking you. But your rival comes to the
rescue! Kinda. You now have You & Rival vs. Mars & Jupiter. This can actually
be one of the most annoying battles in the game at some points...

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Two Bronzor come out to start the battle. If you want the rival to be useful
you may actually want to kill the Munchlax because it does nearly nothing apart
from adding itself to your PokeDex if you didn't see the one back in the cafe
on Route 210. TAKE CARE OF THE BRONZOR FAST, or they WILL start confusing and
sleeping your Pokemon. Fire is the best method as always. The Bronzor will also
put Reflect and Light Screen up, meaning your attacks will have half the usual
power which is _not_ good for this fight. It is nearly unavoidable to not have
one defense up, however.
Skuntank and Purugly are the real annoyances, for their attacks are pretty
damn powerful. Purugly is also quite fast and has Aerial Ace to deal with any
Fighting-types that you might pit against it. Skuntank's only weakness is a
Ground-type attack as well and it is quite durable to anything else. Coupled
with the Sitrus berries they both have, it can be a difficult battle. Taking
Purugly out with a Staraptor's Close Combat may not be a bad idea, because the
ability Staraptor has (Intimidate) will cut their attack strength. Munchlax
also tends to Screech a lot so you will get a better advantage physically.
Screech will help tremendously in taking down Skuntank, so having the rival use
it is not a bad thing whatseoever. Note that Skuntank also has Flamethrower
for Steel-types and such.
The Golbat aren't much of a problem in comparison though they are armed with
powerful attacks such as Sludge Bomb. They'll die to Psychic, Ice, Electric
etcetera as per usual.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
After the battle, the rival will heal your Pokemon and leave. Time for a fancy
cutscene! Cyrus will use the Red Chain and cause both Dialga and Palkia to
appear atop Spear Pillar, causing an earthquake as they appear.
However, the legendary trio come to save the day! Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf make
a special cut-scene appearance and begin to fly over Mt. Coronet with their
respective colours, calming Dialga and Palkia down and preventing the world
from being harmed.
Then all of a sudden it gets dark and black puddles appear in the floor. A
creepy red Pokemon comes out of the ground - Giratina! Spilling shadow, it
gets ready to strike Cyrus, and swoops towards him! The screen blacks out
and when it comes back, a mysterious portal is left behind.
Cynthia will come now and talk to you, noting the distortion in the ground.
You'll see Uxie and Azelf go in and Mesprit will come out of its light and
show you to come inside. Say yes to Cynthia, and you two will follow suit.
And thus, we enter the Distortion World.

Now if this isn't just the most funky thing. Lovely colours, serene music for
the most part, and a very weird atmosphere. Except plenty of physic defiance
here, for we shall be walking in all directions. There are no Wild Pokemon here
but there is one battle, and Giratina is waiting for you right at the end of
the Torn World - but be warned, it isn't as short as you may be thinking. It
can easily last about half an hour at the very least. It is basically complete
platforming in a Pokemon game. I reckon it's been done very well.
Giratina will fly across the 'sky', shocking both the player and Cynthia.
Cynthia will leave after a bit. Follow her to where she goes (you can actually
jump over the gap here) and go in the center to find out it is actually an
elevator. It'll go down and now you can jump across the floating platforms.
Once you reach proper land and go forward a bit, Mesprit will appear, and go
off. It wants you to follow it - walk to the left, push left and watch as you
defy physics for the first time! The controls are the same otherwise; walk to
the other side where the depression is, and press down to return to the normal
direction. The isometric feel is pretty cool though.
Follow the path here and jump across more platforms to get to an elevator and
stand in the depression in the center to go down. Jump to the square ahead.
This is an elevator with four choices of direction. Step on the top one to get
sent forward, then on this new platform go to the left depression and press
left to get onto a sideways platform that Cynthia is waiting on.
Talk to her and she'll move, letting you through. Go to the other side and
jump off the sideways part then send the elevator to the right. Send the new
one to the right again, then send the next one south. Send this one to the
left, then jump north to the next platform and stand on the top one to get
sent down slightly.
Now, go to the right with this platform, and you will arrive on an elevator.
Stand in the center to go down. Then stand on the depression on the bottom
side and platforms will appear; jump on them and keep going and Cyrus will
appear! He will talk to you a little bit, then leave. Keep going south until
you come to a crossroads, then head to the right and directly up. Standing on
a depression with the platform already there causes it to disappear, so many
paths are in reality unaccessible. The top right one does not already have
a platform so you will be able to cross. Do so, and on the new platform go
forward slightly and then go down on the shorter path, standing on the hole to
make a platform appear.
Cross this one to the other side, then on this T shaped one jump off the base
to another elevator and stand in the middle to make it go down. Jump onto the
obvious floating platforms to more land with weird plants, then go down and try
to jump off the ledge to have Uxie to appear. It will move up to the boulder
and then disappear again.
Jump off the ledge, activate Strength and move the boulder into the hole.
Then jump off the bottom end onto an elevator and step into the depression
to make it go down. Jump off the ledge on the left side to the main platform
and get to the boulder on the north side. Push it into the hole that Uxie is
hovering next to. Pushing it into the wrong one means you will have to cycle
around again to get the boulder. So, make sure to PUSH IT INTO THE HOLE UXIE
IS NEXT TO, and it should stick. Uxie will be happy and fly away. Go over to
the far left and follow the thin path in a right angle to find Cynthia again.
Talk to her, but she won't move this time. Go back to the elevator and take it
back up again.
Now, jump off the left, go around to the boulder and push it down the hole,
but not before Mesprit makes an appearance and dances for joy. It'll guide you
to where to put the boulder and as I said, it is to push it down the hole.
Do so, then take the path around to another elevator and take it up.
Jump off to the left, follow the path up north (some of the obstacles will
vanish when you get near them, allowing you access) and Giratina will make an
appearance again as you keep going. Remember that you can go behind some of
the plants, even if it looks like you might not be able to until you actually
do it. Eventually, you'll reach another elevator. Take it up again.
Jump off to the left, then go down to make a platform appear and cross it to
the other side. Go over to the right to make another one appear, cross it,
then on this T shaped one jump off the base and activate the elevator to go
down. You'll see Cyrus walking; but he leaves soon afterwards. Surf across the
water, begin to walk forward and Giratina will appear again. Keep going forward
to find that a sideways platform has presented itself.
Go onto it, cross it to the top then cross onto the platform on the ceiling -
you're now completely upside-down! Go around and Surf on the water, then
descend the sideways waterfall. It's quite long but you get a nice view of the
Distortion World as you go (Torn World was such a better name...) Once you're
able to Surf again, go north and left onto dry land. Azelf will appear now,
directing you with the last boulder.
Follow its wishes and push the boulder down this gap. Go around the platform
and jump off the end to end up on the original elevator we were on. Jump over
the first ledge and activating it (be careful you don't jump over the other
ledge as well, or you'll have to do all of that again!) Descend the elevator,
then go over to the west and push the boulder into the westernmost hole that
Mesprit is hovering by. Mesprit will be happy and fly away.
Next, head over to the east. Push this boulder into the westernmost one too -
namely, the one Azelf is hovering by and the one the boulder starts right next
to. Once you push it down, Azelf will also disappear. Go back to where Cynthia
is now and talk to her.
A new elevator will reveal itself. Now is a very good time to save your game.
Do so, then get on the elevator and descend. You'll be able to see Cyrus from
a distance - Cynthia will notice him and jump off. This is your last chance to
save before a battle now, so do so if you haven't already.
Then, jump off the elevator. Walk forward behind Cynthia, then Cyrus will push
her out of the way, blocking her access forward. Okay, I lied, THIS is your
last chance to save before the battle now.
When you're ready, talk to Cyrus. Your Pokemon should be fully healed from
when your rival healed them, luckily. Talk to Cyrus to begin the final battle
with him in the game. This is also the last time we get to hear the music.

Wow, funky background. Lovely mix of blues there with a special platform like
there was in Snowpoint Gym. Pity this is the only time we get to see this.
Houndoom is frail. However, it does have Will-O-Wisp to burn your Pokemon,
so be careful if you choose to send slow Physical attackers against it because
burn will half the attack power of a Pokemon.
Gyarados is as annoying as always. Annoyingly hard to take down if you don't
have an Electric or Rock attack to use. Hopefully you have an Electric attack
to use, but if you don't then whack it with your strongest attacks possible.
It gives a massive amount of EXP when you finish it off, which is nice.
Gyarados is equipped with Waterfall, which makes use of its high attack stat
and Water-typing. That will be its main offense. Cyrus also has a Full Restore
which he will use on any particuarly weakened Pokemon, Gyarados included.
Crobat is pretty much the same as last time. Fast and loves to status. It has
Toxic to badly poison your Pokemon as well, so be wary. Luckily it is quite
frail and will die quite easy to its weaknesses as per usual. It also has the
incredibly annoying Confuse Ray. It isn't really tough, just VERY annoying.
Honchkrow will fall to similar attacks as it did last time. Be warned that it
has HEAT WAVE! Apparently he went to see the Move Tutor at some point. Either
way it means it will easily kill any Steel-types you have apart from Empoleon
who negates the Fire weakness with its Water-typing. I'll also take this chance
to mention that Cyrus has two Full Restores rather than one. Honchkrow is also
capable of using Night Slash and is quite fast, so don't expect any non-Abra
line psychics to outspeed it before immiment death, or near to. Well, I would
say that, but my L46 Gardevoir outsped it... Come to think of it, it is slower
than Murkrow. Murkrow has 97 base and Honchkrow only has 79 I think. Bah.
Weavile, like Sneasel before it, will go down to a fairly strong attack. It
has a huge weakness against Fighting-type moves and it also has little it can
do to pierce Steel. Weavile has Fake Out as well, meaning it will very likely
just flinch your Pokemon on the first turn it comes out. Its arsenal consists
of Night Slash and Ice Punch, both of which are very strong moves off its
129 base attack. Luckily it doesn't seem to have Brick Break. Houndoom will
also do quite well against it for the most part, but be warned Weavile is VERY
fast. Not Electrode fast, but faster than Alakazam, Sceptile and such. Weavile
has also been upgraded to Cyrus' main Pokemon now. I thought it would be...
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Cyrus will leave after you defeat him and Cynthia will heal your Pokemon. Now
we face another challenge - Cynthia will take you forward and tell you to go
forward. Do so, and the screen will zoom in again. Giratina will fly below;
take another step and a bunch of platforms will appear. On the second one,
Giratina will fly under you quickly. Jumping on the third one causes the screen
to get much darker and Giratina will come up right next to you. Save now,
and engage it in a fight.

STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Giratina enters the battle by flying down rather than coming from a Pokeball,
as per what should happen. It has no platform either; they were pretty good at
making sense with this. Giratina also has some of the best battle music in the
whole of the Pokemon series if you ask me, tied with like Pokemon Stadium 1's
Mewtwo battle, the Emerald Frontier Brain music, the RSE Elite Four and such.
Regi music was also really good too - they even have a remix of that in Pokemon
Platinum! But it's event only, so bleh.
Anyway, Giratina in Origin Forme has reduced defenses than it did as the normal
forme we're used to (Another Forme) but it has increased offenses in return.
Giratina sports the move Shadow Force causing it to disappear for a turn and
you cannot throw a Pokeball at it during the turn it disappears - or you will
get the message: "It's no good! It's impossible to aim at a Pokémon that's not
in sight!" Try it yourself and see. It works fine for Dig and Fly though. Hm...
Giratina has weaknesses to Ghost, Ice and Dark attacks. No attacks will cause a
whole lot of damage to it but you need to work at chipping away its health.
Empoleon is decent for this because it resists all of Giratina's moves and it
can cause a fair bit of damage with Ice Beam. At least it resists Shadow Force
and Ancientpower for sure. If you're lucky enough you may even get to freeze
it like I did! /brag
The best balls to use for this are Dusk Balls. The Master Ball isn't really
worth using on Giratina unless you're capable of importing more Master Balls
later via Pal Park, because Giratina is one of the only three legends you have
to capture before the National Dex. Uxie and Azelf are the other two. Mesprit
does need to be seen but not captured since it runs around Sinnoh.
Dusk Balls are most certainly your best bet. Normal-types also resist two of
Giratina's moves (Ominous Wind and Shadow Force) so they will be quite useful
stallers. Get Giratina to as low health as possible, status it if possible and
start throwing the Dusk Balls. Giratina has a very low capture rate (3) so it
will take a fair bit of effort. Giratina also has Dragon Claw which affects
everything and will deal a fair bit of damage. Only use the Master Ball if you
absolutely _have_ to.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Once you finally catch it, a portal will appear in place of it. Cyrus will make
one more appearance, announcing his intentions to stay in the Torn World. We
won't be hearing from him again after this. Cynthia blocks your way back,
so the only way to go is out through the portal... Inspect it and click yes.

You will appear outside Turnback Cave, Giratina's old lair in Diamond and Pearl
- so you are in the Sendoff Spring. Cynthia prevents you going through though
and will continue to do so until we get the National Dex. Use Rock Climb and
get up the wall and start making your way through the grass to get back to
Route 214. You might find some nice Pokemon on your way. Alternatively, you
can just fly back to Sandgem Town now since there are no items in the spring.
Sandgem Town
-------------
Go into the Pokemon Center and heal as you will very likely need to. Afterwards
go into Rowan's lab and talk to him. Well actually, he's waiting at the door
for you. You get no reward but after some dialogue you can leave. We're now
capable of going to Sunyshore, but first we need to catch some legendaries
for your PokeDex, unless you use one other method... Anyway, fly to Twinleaf
and make your way into Lake Verity.
You don't actually have to get the legendaries _now_, but you have to go see
them sometime to get the National Dex. Despite the numerous times we've seen
them, they're not in our PokeDex. Yet we went to Spear Pillar and saw Dialga
and Palkia once, and they are. Hmm.
With the exception of Mesprit, instead of catching them you can black out when
you're battling them. This will keep Azelf/Uxie in their cavern with it in your
PokeDex allowing you to transport Master Balls across for them, but it requires
you to lose some money in exchange. Do whatever floats your boat.
Mesprit we have to release at some point though.

Fly to the center of the lake and enter Verity Cavern. Talk to Mesprit to have
it disappear, and Rowan will come and start annoying you. Before Mesprit leaves
you will get a view of its sprite, officially adding it to your PokeDex as seen
so that you don't actually need to capture it.
If you want to try for a good natured Mesprit, be prepared to make it disappear
and sit through Rowan's talk, then get it into a good place around Sinnoh (as
it actually runs around the region) and capture it with a Master Ball and if
you aren't happy, restart it all again. It's quite a lot of effort to go to
unfortunately.
If you wish to catch Mesprit now, take out the Marking Map App we got earlier
from the Poketch President and after you move you shold see a black figure on
the map. This is where Mesprit is and once you're in the same area as it, go
in the grass and there is a chance it could appear. If you want to narrow it
down, go into the area it is in with a Pokemon at Level 49 or below but higher
than the Wild Pokemon in the area and use a Repel. Mesprit will be the only
thing able to appear. I'll leave this here anyway.

Also, consider using your Master Ball on Mesprit. Running Pokemon tend to be
the best choice to use them on. Mesprit can actually run even when slept now
so the only way to keep it in battle is to use a move like Mean Look or Block.
After you do or don't catch Mesprit, fly to Pastoria City. Here, you may want
to buy a ton of Dusk Balls because you will be needing them for the last two
of this legendary trio. Seeing as they're both in caves, Dusk Balls will have
a 4x capture rate on them, but they are still a bit hard to catch.
Head for Valour Lakefront afterwards and enter the lake.

STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Azelf is a Psychic Pokemon with low defenses but incredibly high attacking
power. Its attacks consist of Swift, Uproar, Future Sight and Nasty Plot. Both
Swift and Uproar are Normal attacks while Future Sight is a Psychic attack
that attacks two turns later and ignores type resistances or weaknesses. Be
warned that Nasty Plot will boost Azelf's Special Attack up by two levels
each time it uses it, possibly making for a total of 4x the usual attack power
if it uses it three times. If you have a Ghost Pokemon here like Rotom, Gengar
and such then you are completely safe apart from Future Sight. Azelf is quite
frail so be careful with it. False Swipe is useful if you have it but meh.
Use the usual low HP, status, Dusk Ball strat.
I did actually catch it on the first ball when I did it somehow. Guess I got
reaaaaaally lucky.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Once you catch Azelf, or make yourself faint against it, head to Snowpoint City
and then towards Lake Acuity to the west.

Uxie is the opposite of Azelf; offensively it is quite weak but it has much
better defenses than its blue counterpart. Use exactly the same tactics as you
did with Azelf. Chip away, status if possible, let loose the Dusk Balls. There
isn't really a lot I can say here...
Be warned Uxie has Yawn meaning it can put your own Pokemon to sleep. It can
also raise its Special Defense sharply with Amnesia. Honestly, it isn't that
dangerous though. You get the lovely Egyptian themed music the whole time too.
It's only offense is practically swift and off 75 special attack that is not
going to do much at all. Keep throwing balls until you get it, anyway.

Afterwards, go back to Pastoria or Veilstone, heal up, head for the resort part

Delicious new route. The most notable thing this area has to offer is the fact
that you can catch Electabuzz here. If you're looking to get an Electivire, now
is a very good time to get one, since we picked up the Electrizer already.
We'll take care of the top half first. Go into the grass and head for the top
left and go into the grass-free corridor below the very top one. Press A on the
top left square in here to get a PP Up.
Return through the grass and battle the Rich Boy to the right of it with some
nice stickers. Pick up the berries to the north here then head down under the
trees but above the ledge and go right to pick up a Full Restore. Return back
to the top and go right, battling the Beauty here.
Descend the stairs, go north, right, up the stairs, into the grass and press A
at the end to pick up an Ultra Ball. Head to the far right, cut the tree and
go down to pick up a Carbos. Return back and down the stairs to the main path
then continue to the right and talk to the Rich Boy to get TM56, Fling. Go
to the right, battle the guard if possible, continue right and battle with the
tube boy and the sailor. Battle the sailor just south-east of there, then go
west onto the beach.
The beach has most of the water Pokemon trainers so it will be helpful for any
Pokemon with Electric or Electric-type moves. Start by going down and smashing
the rock, ascending the stairs and collecting the Quick Ball. Then, press A
while facing the gap in the bottom left to get yet another Full Restore.
Master_Kenobi_7 has also found a Tiny Mushroom right next to the Full Restore
as well, or at least definitely in the immediate vicinity.
Head back up here and past the rock that was here and ignore the fisherman for
he does not battle (though you can talk to him to hear his tale of woe) and
enter the top right house. The guy here will give you a Net Ball if you show
him a big... Remoraid? The left house contains a crazy guy who wants to win
the league with only Pikachu. How nice. There is a PP Up in between the
houses, I think. Also, if you talk to the Pikachu in the top left of the
house with a dozen Pikachu in (it's the one that doesn't move around) then
you will find that it's one of those crazy Pikachu fans with two Level 42
Pikachu.
Go left, battle the female tuber, then proceed to battle the two fishermen on
the coast. Note the fisherman on the right has two Level 43 Gyarados which can
give 2000 exp a kill, so using Vs. Seeker to train any Pokemon who can easily
kill Gyarados (see: electric) could be a good idea. The fisherman on the left
has so such quality, but he does have a Finneon which you need to see. He also
appears to switch - I brought Rotom out against his Magikarp, he swapped it for
Finneon weirdly. This guy also has Feebas, so you need to battle him really.
Battle another fisherman a little more to the left. There is a Pearl under the
right side of the rock to the left of him you can pick up (hidden as usual)
and one last fisherman to face on the left, with a high level Gyarados and a
stupidly weak Magikarp. Needs more double Gyarados.
Afterwards, activate Surf and jump on the water then head to the far far right.
You'll have to land on the island we got to from Rock Smashing before, but jump
off to the right and continue onto the piece of land you normally cannot get to
and pick up the Big Mushroom in the gap by here.
That is all for this route. Return to the mainland by Surf, then go straight
right and through the gatehouse into Sunyshore City.

As soon as you enter the town, McDonalds will attempt to give you a bargain.
Or as it is in this game, a red-haired afro character named Flint will come to
you and ask you to revitalize Volkner's spirit or something, then he will go
and block the gym until we go to the lighthouse. We'll get to that very soon.
I must say, I do quite like Sunyshore's music. Very upbeat and such. Continue
to the right and enter the Pokemon Center and heal up.
The market is a little to the north with the same inventory as always now, but
you can also get Steel Mail and LUXURY BALLS (!) in the market. I'm surprised
they're buyable now, since they were incredibly hard to get in R/S/E (you had
to get them by winning Master contests, I believe.) North of there is a white
building which is where you can finally buy stickers. The selection in here
will change every day.
The woman on the first counter you see will give your Pokemon an Effort Ribbon
if their EVs are maxed, so this is a good indication of checking whether they
are filled or not when you're training an actual competitive Pokemon. The guy
in the counter on the right does nothing and the top left person will sell you
stickers. If you want to apply them to your Pokemon, use the PC in a Pokemon
Center to select the option and apply them to the Pokeballs. Note that once
you apply them, you cannot deposit that Pokemon until you remove the stickers.
The option is in [YourName]'s PC.
Outside the sticker house, head north to find Jasmine on the beach! We'll need
to go see her again after you beat Volkner. Now, head right and up the stairs.
The left house on the top right has some background information about Cyrus,
while there is little of worth in the top right house. To the left is the
gym but we can't go there yet. Head down, right and down the stairs and pick
up the Thunderstone here. If you have a Pokemon with a Serious, Quirky or Naive
nature in your party, Rock Climb up the wall and talk to the guy to receive a
Calendar App, Roulette App or Dot Artist App respectively. Without the nature
in your party somewhere, you cannot get these.
Go to the bottom right of the second floor to enter the lighthouse. Enter to
automatically be taken up by an elevator, then talk to Volkner who is looking
through the telescope. He'll head back to the gym, so we are able to fight him
now. If you like, take a look through the telescope yourself to see the Pokemon
League in a lovely 3D view. Very foggy though.
Exit the lighthouse and head for the top left to where the gym is (make sure
your team is healed.) Talk to Flint and since Volkner has returned he will now
leave his position in front of the gym, allowing us entry. We'll see him later,
anyway. Enter the gym when you're ready.
By the way, the Zap Plate is in the lower right corner just outside of the
Lighthouse Volkner was in. I can attest to this myself; feel free to use the
Dowsing App if you want but the plate is pretty easy to find. Note that if you
use the App the plate will 'show' up but it will be displayed as a sort of
pulsing circle instead.

This has also remained unchanged from D/P, but the pathway puzzles can still be
a bit annoying anyway. If you have a Ground Pokemon with you, this gym will be
a whole lot easier. I don't have one in my team myself. Bah.
Go forward and press the green button once, then exit back down onto the main
part and head to the left and across the bridge to where another bridge will
now form to the northern part. Go there, beat the trainer with a Pachirisu who
has an annoying tendency of paralyzing you and go through the door.
Hit the blue spot in plain sight three times to reconnect the bridges. Go back
onto the main part and up the stairs across the gear bridge to the other side.
Beat the guy with a Magneton here, then down and hit the blue button to change
the bridges, then the green button to the right to create a new T-bridge. Use
it and get onto the land on the right and once you beat the forced battle, go
oer the gear bridge at the top. Battle the Pikachu impersonator with about 4
Pikachu, then enter into the third and last room.
Battle the guy to the right, then go on the bridge and press the red button
once to change direction, get off the bridge and follow the one on the left to
another red button and press that for a new bridge. Go down and battle the Ace
Trainer then cross the gear bridge. Ascend the stairs, finish off the guitarist
and press the green button twice. Follow the new path created around (don't
worry, the electric doesn't stop you) and hit the blue button once. Go down
the stairs and beat the Ace Trainer, then continue across the gear bridge, down
the stairs and press the button down to flip the platforms in the room around
again, creating a path to Volkner.
If you have to go back and heal, do it now. This will reset all of the puzzles
in the gyms but you won't have trainers to deal with the next time. I had to
since that Ace Trainer just then decimated me >_O. Once you're ready to face
Volkner and have solved all of the puzzle up to this point, go through the new
paths until you reach Volker, save and fight him.

If you have a Ground Pokemon this battle will be easy for the majority, but it
maypose some problems otherwise. Volker has Hyper Potions too. Jolteon weirdly
has Iron Tail, which doesn't do a lot but eh. Probably to try and hit Ground
types. I cannot see it doing much at all though. Jolteon's main attacking move
is Charge Beam which has a massive 70% chance of raising Jolteon's special atk,
and about 67% or so factored in with accuarcy. It will probably kill Pokemon
like Staraptor in two hits. Using other Electric-types may not be a bad idea
either if they can do sufficient damage to Jolteon. Jolteon does also have
Thunder Wave to paralyze your Pokemon, slowing them down a quarter and having
a 25% to make them completely immoble for a turn. Volkner does also have a
Full Restore and he _will_ use it if one of his Pokemon get really low in their
health.
[Also, that damn Jolteon hit Iron Tail three times in a row and CRITICALLED MY
GARDEVOIR, fainting it. Why does this game hate me so much?]
Once Jolteon's gone, Volker may sent out Luxray. Luxray used to be Volkner's
main Pokemon but now it is simply a strong team member, having its main offense
in the 75 powered Thunder Fang topped with a 120 base attack and STAB, along
with a fairly diverse moveset (I think?) I'm not completely sure of Luxray's
complete set, but be careful. I can also say for sure it has Crunch, so be
careful with your Psychic and Ghost types! Rotom will not block this baby.
Despite being Electric Luxray is actually quite slow, so at least you will
usually go first against it, unlike Jolteon.
Raichu is the other member of Volkner's team that also appeared in D/P. At Lvl
46 it is a fair bit weaker but it has Charge Beam as well which can raise its
Special Attack pretty quickly. Charge Beam has quite a nice animation too.
Whacking it with a strong physical attack will take off most of its health, so
you can probably kill it in two hits. I used a Staraptor Return + Empoleon Aqua
Jet after Staraptor died, myself.
Electivire is the real powerhouse, complete with stickers and a very high level
as far as this stage of the game is concerned. Electivire is also quite slow
but it has 95 Special Attack and a massive 123 Attack and coupled with its main
ThunderPunch move it can cause quite a bit of damage, 2HKOing most of the more
frail Pokemon you have. Luckily Electivire itself isn't that durable, despite
having the appearance of such. Nice choice for Volkner's main Pokemon though.
It gives a lovely bunch of EXP too. Exit the gym after you get the rewards.

Item Collection

Items: HM07 Waterfall, Carbos, Meadow Plate, Wave Incense
Trainers' Pokemon: Barboach L33, Gyarados L33
Go back and heal, then talk to Jasmine at the top of the city. She will now
give us HM07 for we have the Beacon Badge, meaning we can go to the Pokemon
League! But we have to go through Victory Road, of course. Except a lot of
trainers, with a lot of PokeDex entries. A LOT. Note that for Route 223, you
only need Surf and Waterfall and you will be able to get your HM slave back
before we enter Victory Road if you only have one spot for one, like me. If
you have a team of six then somebody will have to learn Waterfall. We can't get
to the league without it.
I would recommend stocking up on supplies a bit at Sunyshore so you're capable
of healing in Victory Road and such. Buying about 10 Hyper Potions may be a
worthwhile deal, and maybe a Revive or two if you feel you need them. We'll
have plenty of Full Restores due to all the hidden ones, but you can also buy
some Full Heals incase of unlucky status effects.
When you head up to get Waterfall your rival will come and talk to you for a
bit as well. We'll be battling him again fairly soon, after we're done with
Victory Road. Jasmine will talk to you afterwards and give you Waterfall.
After your rival talks, fly to Hearthome and go to the very beginning of Route
208, where we went earlier for the Rock Climb hiker. This time, go down the
stairs and start Surfing. Go up to the fisherman and battle him if you wish,
then ascend the Waterfall on the top side. Manuever your Surfing path and
pick up the Carbos on the upper bank.
Fly to Celestic Town, and head right back through Route 210 near where the
North starts by the Ace Trainer and Ace Trainer duo. Surf on the water to the
left here, and go up the Waterfall on the right. Jump on the land, get right
in the top left corner, face up and push A to inspect the wall and pick up the
Meadow Plate. Descend down the Waterfall afterwards and this time go up the
Waterfall to the left, going left and descending the Waterfall. Pick up the
Wave Incense on the land here, so you can breed Mantyke. Fly back to Sunyshore
City afterwards.
Once you have a Pokemon taught with Waterfall and you're fully healed, set out
for Route 223 by Surfing upwards.

Normally the only trainers I actually battle here are the forced ones and two
trainers on this route, the one with a Lumineon at the beginning and a swimmer
with an Octillery later on. Unfortunately since I'm writing the walkthrough,
I have to battle them all this time. Plus I'm _still_ going to be underlevelled
for the Elite Four, like always. Sigh ;_;
Right ahead is a female swimmer. Make sure you battle this one to add Lumineon
to your PokeDex. There is another (useless) swimmer north. By the way, if you
want to use a Tentacruel, now might not be too bad a time to get one, seeing as
they appear at incredibly high levels on occasion.
If you keep heading north there is a male swimmer to the left. This guy has
a Mantine which we haven't seen before so you definitely want to face him,
though he's forced anyway. Keep going forward and there is a double battle
you can enter here, but you can also swim around them by taking the right
path around the male swimmer. You _need_ to face the male swimmer though,
since he is the sole wielder of Octillery.
Once you finish that skirmish or avoid it at the cost of your life, head up
and face the swimmer on the left here. Finish off his Tentacruel, then go back.
Mwahahaha. Go back to the male swimmer which had a Mantine and directly south-
west of him is a gap in the rocks. Take it and follow it around onto shallow
land and pick up the TM18 on the shallow. Go back to the place where the
swimmer I hopefully just tricked you into battling was and now continue heading
north. There are female and male swmimers near here, both of which have nothing
of worth except sweet, sweet EXP. Things like Wingull are STILL appearing in
trainer's teams at this stage of the game though. Quite weird.
Once you evade/battle these swimmers, and possibly get your Houndoom killed
by a CH Poison Jab from a Tentacruel -grumble-, go up onto the shallow land.
Pick up the Ultra Ball in plain view first, then walk in front of the sailor
and fight him since you have to unfortunately. Keep going to the left, Surf
around to the shallow land on the other side of the rock and continue north.
Surf out of this alcove, battling the swimmers near here if you wish and pick
up the one-of-a-kind Dive Ball which is utterly useless since there is no HM08
Dive in this game. Pick up the Rare Candy on the island to the right, then go
further north. Battle this last swimmer here, then continue north to reach the
ever so famous waterfall and the Pokemon League site. Apparently there is also
one more trainer near the Rare Candy with a Tentacool and Golduck, too.

Go up to the Waterfall and press A to begin your climbing. Jump off the water
and enter the very conveniently placed Pokemon Center here. Go in and heal,
then take out the HM slave you may have left in the PC with Rock Climb and so
forth. We will be needing Rock Climb, Rock Smash and Strength to complete this.
Once you're ready, exit the Pokemon Center and enter the gaping hole that is
the entrance to Victory Road on the right. Also, we will unfortunately also
require Waterfall to finish it...

Get used to this music because we are probably gonna be here in a while. If you
for some reason want a very late Garchomp, now is the time to get a good Gabite
at Level 41 - 43, depending on where you are in the cave.
To begin with go forward over the bridge and Rock Climb down, then battle the
Psychic to the left, which will add Gardevoir to your PokeDex if you aren't
using it yourself. I do recommend battling all the trainers in here, for both
the PokeDex entries and the large EXP amounts they give.
Go up and collect TM41 Torment, then go back and climb up the rock again (there
is nothing on the bottom part on this side of the floor.) Go right across the
bridge and then descend the stairs, going around and battling the Bird Keeper
to get Togetic in your PokeDex. Go north and collect the Max Repel, then go
back and ascend the stairs and take the northern bridge across.
Descend the rock here and head left. Keep going being careful to not jump down
the ledge, then ascend the stairs when you get to them. Keep going to face the
only trainer with a Blissey in the game; though she is also forced. Blissey
has insane defense against special attacks, so try to use physical attacks
against it. Even a weak physical attack will do a lot. Note that Blissey gives
a _LOT_ of experience (~2400). It is a real pity you can't fight it more than
once or raising for the E4 would be easy. Damn VS. Seeker not working indoors
;__; This Ace Trainer is also the only one with a Magnezone, which is the
Magneton evo and weak to the same things as its predecessors. She has a Glalie
too, but we've seen those before in Snowpoint Gym. Afterwards, go right north
and check the rock for a Nugget. Finally, head up the stairs to 2F.

Break the rock straight ahead of you and push the boulder to get through. Push
the one by the bike ramp back a bit then get on your bike and jump over it by
building up a little speed. Go around, break the rock and jump over the second
bike ramp with the _slower_ bike setting. Pick up the Max Elixir then go over
the same bike ramp on a higher speed setting. Jump off the ledge to return
to the original starting place of this room.
Break the rock below and arrange the boulders in a fashion that allows you to
get through. Do so, then go left and battle the Ace Trainer here. Absorb his
Mamoswine into your PokeDex (or add) and the Rampardos too. There's also a
Mothim but we've seen those before.
After the battle, push the left boulder down, go around, break the rock and
then push the same boulder back up. Go right and down and break the rock, then
fight the Ace Trainer here with a Clefable and a new addition, Torterra unless
your rival had it or you have Torterra. So it's only really a new entry if you
chose Infernape. Remember it has a 4x weakness to Ice to abuse! 2139 exp is
a good reward for defeating it too.
Go right and push the top boulder in this triangular formation to the right.
Battle the Veteran, go down the stairs back to 1F and then _come back up_.
We've yet some stuff to do on 2F. Also the Veteran has a Lickilicky which has
the weirdest cry ever.
When you come back up, go back to the triangular rock formation and this time
push the top rock down, allowing you access to all three ways. Head to the
right and push the first boulder you come to right into the corner. Push the
second one into the left corner, then break the rock and push the boulder below
it down, allowing you access through. Go through it and manuever yourself so
that you go around the bike ramps then get on the faster bike and jump over
them to reach a Full Restore. They sure like to plant these around. Go back to
the right around the bike ramps again and double battle with the Ace Trainers
by here. Be warned the Ambipom has Water Pulse and Staraptor Close Combat, so
don't except Fire/Dark types to survive the assault ;-; Use the bike ramps
again but only jump over the first two and collect TM71 Stone Edge as your
prize. It's basically a Rock version of Cross Chop and a very good move.
Make your way back to the stairs and descend. This time we're actually going
to explore the first floor again.

This floor likes water. Surf across to the center platform and battle the
Psychic here to add Chimecho to your PokeDex if you've yet to see it, as well
as the Absol that you definitely haven't seen unless you were lucky enough to
find one atop Mt. Coronet. This woman is also the sole wielder of Dusknoir as
well. Damn her for having a Pokemon that can be so annoying to take down at the
worst times. Ghost-type, so Dark/Ghost works best. It has Will-O-Wisp to burn,
by the way. Afterwards, swim around the Psychic to the right hand side, and
then Surf across the southern water and inspect the rock for a Heart Scale.
Pick up the Calcium atop the stairs then challenge the Ace Trainer team to a
battle. Surf across the river here, then go up the stairs and collect the
Rare Candy by here.
Go back and return to the right side of the Psychic that had the Dusknoir
and follow the path north to an Ultra Ball and another Ace Trainer to fight,
this one having Rhydon, which you won't have seen before unless it showed up
in the Wild during one of the other floors.
Now is the time to use Waterfall. Get on the water, and go up the Waterfall.
Go left and go down the other Waterfall and collect the TM59 Dragon Pulse by
here. Go back on the water behind you and Waterfall up it again, then jump
off and battle the Dragon Tamer to the left. This will add Altaria and Gabite
to your PokeDex if you haven't seen them already.
Surf to the left once more and near the stairs, use the Dowsing App to find
a Max Elixir (it's on the square DIRECTLY top-right of the top rock of the
two rocks next to eachother on the left wall.) Go up the stairs afterwards.

Head directly left for now, ignoring the veteran and following the path to get
a Razor Claw, allowing you to evolve Sneasel. Go back to the veteran and this
time challenge him, adding Porygon-Z, Tangrowth and possibly Empoleon to your
PokeDex. Go up the stairs next to the Veteran and follow the bridge across to
get a Zinc. We'll be able to enter the blocked area later; go back to where the
Veteran is and this time go in the gap between the two raised parts, go left
and climb the rock here. Go up the stairs, move the boulders and grab the
TM79, Dark Pulse by here. Very useful to teach to a Houndoom or something.
Go back down, descend the rock, go to the right raised part and ascend the
rock. Battle the dragon tamer, who has a... Swablu? Oh well. After you finish
him, continue north across the bridge and exit out the huge white space to the
left.

Welcome to the Pokemon League, home of utter underlevelledness all the time.
At least for me, anyway. If you press A on the tile to the left side of the
left statue three tiles away, you will get a Sky Plate to use. Go up and use
Waterfall to get up this waterfall, then Surf off the water and enter the huge
building you might have seen looking out the telescope earlier. The league is
situated in a very high place; you can see fog and everything if you look over
the edges. It's a pretty nice effect.
The inside has been remodeled from D/P, giving it a nice futuristic look. GO
TO THE POKEMON CENTER ON THE LEFT BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE. When you approach the
guy blocking the entrance to the Pokemon League, your rival will come running
in and challenge you to a battle on the spot. You might want to save before
that happens. This is the last _forced_ rival battle in the game, but you do
get an opportunity to battle him again later on.
Go up to the guy when you're ready. Just stepping on the tile in front of him
causes the rival to appear. Enjoy your battle..?

STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
I outfitted my team with the stat boosting items beforehand. While they may
not be much use in competitive games they are decent items for in-game since
they don't get used up by berries and it adds some extra oomph to your attacks.
Staraptor is the same as always. Fierce, slightly frail, decently fast, very
strong. A quick jolt of electricity or ice should stop it as usual, as will
a good Rock attack such as the Stone Edge technique you picked up before.
Heracross is particuarly strong with hard hitting attacks like Megahorn,
but it completely flops against Flying attacks. Excluding that, Fire and
Psychic are decent bets. Heracross does have Close Combat, which is capable
of dealing a huge amount of damage to your units. Be careful!
Snorlax is a new addition. It is quite bulky, with high HP and special defense
as well as strong attack. It is incredibly slow but it can possibly be quite
hard to take it down. However, Fighting attacks are its bane. A Close Combat
from a Fighting Pokemon, Staraptor etcetera will probably do either a LOT of
damage or possibly kill it in one.
The elemental substitutes for the starters are also quite similar to before.
Still somewhat frail, still somewhat strong. Floatzel has crazy speed while
Roserade has large elemental power and Rapidash is a mix of both. Floatzel
has Crunch for Psychics and such but it was no match for my own Gardevoir -
one Thunderbolt shut it down completely. Rapidash also knows the Sunny Day
technique, allowing it to reduce water's power upon it. My Empoleon still
nearly killed it in one hit though, even with the Sunny Day active. Rapidash
also has Will-O-Wisp to burn and reduce attack. I have no idea what Roserade
has since I haven't fought it while actually recording data...
The starter's level is, as you can see, completely equal to my team's levels
at the moment. Unfortunately the Elite Four's levels rise very quickly between
the five challenges, so be prepared to use a _lot_ of healing items when we
get to that. For the time being, just use type weaknesses against your starter.
As a reminder, Infernape dies to Water/Psychic/Ground, Empoleon to Electric/
Ground/Fighting and Torterra to Ice/Fire/Flying. Flying may not hit it as hard
due to its high defence so Flying is probably the way to go. Basically all of
the starters can learn one move to defeat their counterpart quite easily, so
a Starter vs Starter battle is a decent way of doing it. Personally I just
used Houndoom and Fire Blasted Torterra, but eh.
After you beat him, he'll run out. Talk to the Ace Trainer blocking the doorway
now and after announcing the eight badges a fanfare will play and he moves
out of the way, allowing you access to the league.
Heal up again and go to the right; we need to do some shopping. Buy as many
Hyper Potions, Full Restore, Full Heal etcetera as you think you'll need.
I usually buy about 30 Hyper Potions, 10 Full Restores and 10 Full Heals,
as well as about 20 Revives. I don't usually use all of them but it's nice to
have some backup. The right side is also a Pokeball counter with a good list,
selling nearly every type of Pokeball in the game.
I should mention that the Elite Four have lower levels than they did in Diamond
and Pearl, but their AI and teams overall have been improved, so don't expect
any less of a challenge than you usually get. They also mostly have better
movesets overall.
When you're ready, save and enter the league. The real challenge begins now!
::::: ELITE FOUR #1 :::::
When you enter, you'll be in a room with an elevator. Take it up and enter the
room ahead.
Welcome to the room of bugs. In a lovely twist from D/P, all of the Elite Four
rooms have been COMPLETELY REVAMPED! They're now decorated according to type
and this one has grass, rocks, a trunk that you can walk through and such to
decorate that this room belongs to the Bug-type.
Our first challenge lies with the trainer in the center. Master of Bug-types,
Aaron is the first challenge. He's upgraded from D/P, now having useful bugs
instead of the cool but useless Beautifly and Dustox he had before. Talk to
him, read his chat etcetera, then the battle begins. You get a nice VS. block
when he first appears too. I love those things. By the way, it's in your best
interest to have a Pokemon with a Flying, Fire or Rock move at your lead. Most
preferably, one of the latter two since Rock is very effective against the
starter and it also has 30 less SDef than Def, but in the long run it doesn't
really matter. Flying still works fine.

The backgrounds on these Elite Four matches are amazing. They all match with
their respective types, so Aaron has a green abstract, while the others have
beige/brown, red/orange/yellow, purple/pink and the champion's... just wait and
see. It looks amazing though.
Yanmega starts off this battle. It is equipped with both Double Team and Speed
Boost and can become quite a threat if it isn't dealt with quickly. Yanmega is
a wielder of Bug Buzz, a powerful Bug special attack that off Yanmega's rather
aamzing 116 Special Attack will hurt if it starts using it but it will likely
go for the Double Teams first. Take it out ASAP. Rock is particuarly effective
due to the 4x weakness and Fire will attack its low Special Defense. Or you can
smack it around with Flying moves, also dealing plenty of damage.
Heracross is the same as the rival's, practically. This is one Pokemon that you
definitely want to use Flying attacks on. However, be warned it has STONE EDGE!
While it is somewhat slow, if your Flying Pokemon gets hit with that and does
have a weakness to it it is not likely to survive, or if it is then with little
health. Attack it quick and fast. Alternatively you can use Fire and Psychic
as usual, but if Heracross doesn't die expect a HARD retaliation back.
Vespiquen is highly defensive but doesn't have too much in the way of offense.
However depsite having 102 base defense and special defense, it has a 4x rock
weak which completely kills it. Attack it with a Rock attack to practically
kill it instantly, or with a very strong Fire/Flying attack. You should be able
to 2HKO it at the very least.
Scizor is a new addition, like Yanmega. It got a new sprite too which I quite
like. But enough of that; Scizor is Bug/Steel. It has a lot more power than
its pre-evolution - Scyther - did, but it is much slower. Get a Fire attack in
before it moves and you've got yourself a winning tactic. Seriously, it dies
instantly to Fire. Low special defense and a quadruple Fire weakness do not mix
well at all.
Drapion is Aaron's main Pokemon and while it isn't actually Bug, Skorupi was.
Drapion's typing is annoying for it means that Ground is the ONLY type that it
is possible to hit it with double strength with. If you have a good Steel-type
SEND IT OUT NOW. For me my Empoleon did the job with Surf and Drapion just kept
X-Scissoring me, doing like 10 damage a hit. Alternatively, just hit it with
strong special attacks, but be wary of its strong X-Scissor and Cross Poison
attacks all the while.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Once you beat Aaron, the door at the top will open up. Prepare yourself for the
next battle, then enter. This time, you'll be wanting a Pokemon that has a move
that is Grass-type at the beginning of your party. Something like Magical Leaf
Gardevoir, a Roserade, Torterra and such will work brilliantly. Otherwise you
will just have to beat on the starting Pokemon, for it is quite durable.
Enter the door when you're ready.
::::: ELITE FOUR #2 :::::
Once again, you're met with an elevator. Ride up and enter the next room. This
battle is based on Ground and for that reason there are tons of arid mountains
in the room, giving a sandy feel to the place. The person we must beat this
time is Bertha, a cheery old woman who is very strongly implied to be Agatha's
sister, despite it not being explicitly said. Talk to her when you're ready,
and begin fight number two.

STRATEGY
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
This battle has a lovely dark background with brown shades. It really does look
quite nice, especially with the Pokemon that Bertha has.
Whiscash begins this battle and its Oblivious ability means that it cannot be
attracted. Such a lot of trouble. If you have a Grass move, USE IT. Whiscash
has a quadruple weakness to it, so it will die. Or come very close to, at the
very least. If you do not have a Grass attack, then beat on it with the best
attacks you have. Remember to not use Electric attacks or be met with a very,
very bad fate at the hands of Ground moves.
Hippowdon is no longer Bertha's main, but is still an important part of her
party and for good reason. Hippowdon has the Sand Stream ability and when
Sandstorm is active on the field in D/P/Pt, it gives an automatic +1 SDef
bonus to ALL rock-types on the field. This means that Bertha's Rhyperior
and Golem both get a boost in their special defense, making them very slightly
harder to kill. Hippowdon is also very durable, but a good Water attack will
put it out. Grass works as well, as does Ice. Personally I used Rotom and used
Blizzard on it (since I had it in fridge form) and got a critical, but it is
possible to take it down with strong elemental attacks.
Gliscor is annoying. It is decently fast and it is armed with Earthquake which
is hell for opposing Rock, Steel, Fire etcetera types (see: Empoleon). Gliscor
dies incredibly easily to Ice attacks, so if you can muster an Ice Beam or
Blizzard attack to strike Gliscor, it should go down very quickly. I had
Empoleon Ice Beam it, but I survived Earthquake with about 3 HP remaining.
Golem is classic Golem, having very high defenses but weak special defense.
Be warned that Sandstorm's boost means it may survive unSTABed Water and
Grass attacks such as Gardevoir's Magical Leaf but with little HP, meaning
Bertha will use a Full Restore on it. It has good moves such as Earthquake
and whatnot but a good Water or Grass attack will take it out in due time.
Rhyperior is Bertha's new main. It is very slow and also has a 4x weakness to
Water and Grass like Golem, but it is also incredibly powerful with a massive
140 base attack strength. It will cause plenty of damage to your Pokemon so
be careful around it. Luckily Rock Armour is a Slot 2 ability, so it doesn't
apply to this Rhyperior - if it was there then the damage of Surf, Solarbeam
and such (though I would not use Solarbeam here, honestly) would get cut
to about a 1/3 of the usual strength. Deal with it similarly to Golem - use
a strong, preferably STABed Water or Grass attack to make it fall.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Next up, you want to have a Water Pokemon at the front, for we will be seeing
a familiar face in the next room. Recover your Pokemon as needed, save if you
want to (but be wary you will only be able to escape from the E4 by losing
money afterwards) and head into the next room.
::::: ELITE FOUR #3 :::::
Take the elevator up and enter the room. Flint will be at the center of room
with flames dancing below the stage. Definitely Fire based, I would say.
I have no real backstory for this, so talk to Flint and begin the battle. By
the way, did I mention the small elemental effect that takes place when the
VS hits between the two pictures?

Houndoom is basic. It's loaded with Flamethrower and Sunny Day, that much is
certain. As usual it is quite frail and will die to any Water, Ground, Rock
etcetera attack. Oddly it kept Flamethrowering my Empoleon instead of using
Sunny Day, but it can break out the sun sometimes. Kill it ASAP. I should
mention it also has Sludge Bomb as an extra move for dealing with opposing Fire
types and such. It's safe to assume it also has a Dark attack, most likely Dark
Pulse; so don't
