option to choose your character, your name, and your rival's name. You'll be transported toTwinleaf Town, where your great Pokemon adventure begins.

When the news report finishes, your rival will appear in your room and start blabbering on.Follow him downstairs and your Mom will have a chat to you as well. Head outside and go to thenorthwest building, your rival's house. He'll barge out of the door into you, but remembers he

forgot something in his room. Follow him into his house and head upstairs, then follow himoutside and north onto Route 201 to find him. Soon after, Professor Rowan will appear and offer

you three Pokemon to choose from:

gain a fighting type when itevolves

gain a steel type when itevolves. Penguins are

awesome.

Rowan and his assistant will head back home to Sandgem Town, leaving you and your rival to

test out your newly acquired Pokemon. Both your Pokemon are level 5. If you chose Turtwig,he'll have Chimchar. If you have Chimchar, he'll have Piplup. If you have Piplup, he'll have

Sandgem Town

You'll spot Rowan's assistant upon arriving in Sandgem Town. You'll be escorted inside where

Rowan will assess your Pokemon, and allow you to keep it and name it. He'll ask you to help in

his research and will give you a Pokedex to record information on any Pokemon you encounter.Leave the laboratory and Rowan will give you TM27 - Return as a parting gift. His assistant will

show you the Pokemon Center, where you can heal your Pokemon and access your PC Storageboxes, as well as use Wifi and Wireless Functions, and the PokeMart, where you can purchase

useful items for the road ahead. Rowan's assistant will then leave for Route 202. You, however,need to head back to Twinleaf to pick up some things from Mom.

At home, you'll tell Mom of your big adventure ahead, and she'll give you the Journal key itemto record your activities. Your rival's Mom will also give you a package to deliver to him. That's

all for Twinleaf, so say your final goodbyes and head back to Route 202 to meet Rowan'sassistant.

On Route 202, you'll be given the traditional "How to catch a Pokemon" tutorial, and be awarded

five Pokeballs for participation. Follow the path to Jubilife City. You'll encounter some trainersalong the way, so don't be afraid to head back to Sandgem if you need to heal your Pokemon.

Jubilife City

When you first arrive, you will be confronted by Prof. Rowan's assistant...again, who will talk

you further into the city. You'll notice a shifty character darting between some lamposts - this isthe Detective who you'll encounter many times in your journey. He'll hand you the Battle

Recorder, and leave. Rowan's assistant will point you towards the Trainers' School, so headinside.

New Item: Battle Recorder - This item allows you to record your battles and send them overWifi for friends to view

Inside the Trainer School, you'll find your rival. Deliver the parcel to him and he'll give you aTown Map. Head outside, and the President of the Poketch Company will inform you about a

promotion - find the three clowns around the city and he'll give you a Pokemon Watch, orPoketch for short. The first clown is between the Pokemon Center and the PokeMart; the second

is outside the Poketch Company building on the west side of the city;the third is outside the TVStation building.


5/117

When you have them all, return to the President and he'll give you a Poketch with fourapplications ("Apps" for short). The Poketch in Platinum looks slightly different than from

Diamond and Pearl, and has an option to cycle both forwards and backwards through your apps.You're pretty much done with Jubilife at the moment, so head east onto Route 203 where your

rival will confront you.

Oreburgh City

When you arrive at Oreburgh City, one of the residents will take you straight to the Gym, where

your rival is waiting. He'll explain that the Gym is closed, and that the Gym Leader is inside theOreburgh Mines. Head to the city's south side and enter the mines, and you'll find Roark at the

southernmost point inside the cave. When you find him, he'll return to the Gym to face you inbattle.

If you chose Turtwig or Piplup, you should have no problem with Roark. If you chose Chimcharthough, you should at least go and catch a Machop on Route 207. Save your best Pokemon for

Cranidos, which is Roark's strongest Pokemon. Be aware also that he will use Potions if hisPokemon are low on health, so watch out.

When you defeat Roark, he will give you the Coal Badge, which will allow you to use HM06(Rock Smash) outside of battle, as well as TM76 - Stealth Rock, which inflicts damage to your

opponent according to their type effectiveness against the Rock-type when they switch Pokemon.

Revisiting Jubilife City

When you're done exploring Oreburgh City, return to Jubilife City. Looks like your rival is

heading that way too. You'll be approached by the Detective as you enter the city. Head north toRoute 204, where you'll find a couple of Galactic Grunts confronting Professor Rowan. You'llteam up with Rowan's assistant in your first double battle in the game. After the battle, the

Galactic Grunts will flee to the north, while Rowan and his assistant will return to Sandgem. Anonlooker will give you a Fashion Case for your efforts in the battle.

Now that you have one badge, you'll be able to use the Global Trading Station (GTS), which can

be found to the west of the trainer's school. When you're done with Jubilife City, follow thegrunts north onto Route 204.

You'll notice a few aesthetic changes from Diamond and Pearl as you pass under the new sign at

the entrance to Floaroma Town. Check out the Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop, where youcan grab some free berries. You can also pick the berries from the plants outside, and you can

plant and cultivate your own berry plants in similar patches of dirt. You'll need the Sprayduckwatering can from inside the Flower Shop.

Head east onto Route 205 and talk to the little girl standing in the middle of the path. Her father

is being held hostage by Team Galactic so continue east and you'll reach the Valley Windworks.

You'll find a Galactic Grunt standing at the entrance to the building there, so talk to him and he'llbattle you.

They'll retreat after the battle, and the man standing there will give you the Works Key, which

will open up the building at the Valley Windworks. You'll also receive a pot of Honey which youcan smear on certain trees to attract Pokemon. Head back to Valley Windworks and enter the

building. As you enter, one of the Grunts will spot you and will alert the others. Follow him andyou'll battle two Grunts, and their commander, Mars.

As you enter the dark forest, you'll be approached by Cheryl, who will accompany you while you

are in the forest. While she is with you, wild Pokemon battles will be double battles. You can

only catch wild Pokemon when there is one remaining, but since Cheryl's Chansey actsindependently of you, this could be a bit more difficult than expected. You'll get the chance to

come back once Cheryl leaves. While Cheryl is with you, you'll also enjoy the benefit of havingyour Pokemon fully healed after each battle.

Pokemon without interference, or you can exit to Route 205. You should return to Eterna Forestwhen you receive HM01 - Cut.

Eterna City

Just beyond Route 205 is Eterna City. There's a few things to do while you're here. Visit thehouse next to the Pokemon Center and talk to the old man inside. He'll give you the Explorer Kit,

which lets you visit Sinnoh's Underground. Note that in Pokemon Platinum, the Undergroundhas Wifi functionality.

Next, try to head up past the north side of town and your rival will bump into you. You'll follow

him to a large statue where you'll see Cyrus inspecting it. Both Cyrus and your rival will leave,

so head back west to the Pokemon Center and a woman named Cynthia will give you HM01 -Cut. You'll need the Forest Badge from Eterna City Gym to use it, so head there now.

You'll notice a big change from Diamond and Pearl. Eterna Gym is adorned with a gigantic floralclock in the middle of the gym that will change time whenever you beat one of the trainers. You

will need to beat all four trainers before advancing to Gardenia.

The battle should be straightforward if you have a Chimchar or Starly on your team. I highly

recommend a Starly, especially for later gyms. You could also get a Wurmple from Eterna Forestand evolve it into a Beautifly or Dustox, but these two lose their usefulness pretty quickly.

After you defeat Gardenia, you will be awarded with a Forest Badge, which will allow you to useHM01 (Cut) outside of battle. She will also give you TM86 - Grass Knot, which inflicts damage

based on the opponent's weight. The Forest Badge also makes Pokemon of level 30 and belowobey you, even if they were obtained in a trade.

Team Galactic Eterna Building

Now that you have the Forest Badge, you can use HM01 - Cut to cut down certain trees. You'll

find a set of three of them blocking the entrance to the Team Galactic building on the north side

of town. Cut them down and proceed inside. A Galactic Grunt will talk to you, but only to revealhimself as the Detective! He'll resume his disguise and let you explore the building.

You can head up the left set of stairs, past the two Grunts to get an X Spec Def, but to proceed,head up the right set of stairs, then the left set of stairs on the second floor, and the left set on the

third floor. On the fourth floor, you'll see Galactic Commander Jupiter holding two Pokemonhostage, and a man confronting her. Talk to her and she'll fight you.

After you defeat Jupiter, Team Galactic will disappear from Eterna City. The two Pokemon

you've rescued incidentally belong to the Bike Store Owner. Visit him at his shop just south ofthe Pokemon Center, and you'll run into Cynthia, who will give you a Togepi egg. If you do not

have enough room in your party, you will need to deposit a Pokemon in the Pokemon Center PC.Cynthia will leave, so enter the Bike Shop and the owner will thank you by giving you a free

bike. The bike has two modes which you can toggle by pressing B while riding it. The speedmode lets you race up mud slides, and you will need this to proceed.

Heading east from Eterna City takes you to Mt Coronet, but you can't advance further in that

direction. You'll have to take Cycling Road back to Oreburgh City, so head south onto Route206. At the gatehouse, you'll see one of Professor Rowan's aides, who will give you an Exp

Share if you have seen at least 35 Pokemon.

The Road to Mt Coronet

You must mount your bike before exiting the gatehouse, or the guards won't let you pass. Follow

Cycling Road until its end near Oreburgh City. You'll encounter many trainers along the way.Below, you'll see the grassy plains of Route 206. At the other end, exit the gatehouse and use Cut

to access Route 206.

Continuing south, you can visit Oreburgh City to heal up and get some items, or you can proceedeast onto Route 207. Just before the entrance to Mt. Coronet, you'll see Rowan's assistant, who

will ask you to pick a hand for an item. It doesn't matter which hand you pick, because you'llreceive both items anyway: the first is the VS Seeker, which lets you seek out trainers for a

rematch. The second is the Dowsing Machine app for your Poketch, which searchs for hiddenitems in the nearby vicinity.

Continue east and you'll find a small building just before the gatehouse. This is the home of the

Berry Master. The little girl will give you a Poketch app called the Berry Finder that lets youkeep track of platns with ripe berries. The old man, the Berry Master, will give you a free berry

each day. Finally, the woman will sell you a variety of mulches, which have certain effects on

the soil where you can plant berries:- Growth Mulch will speed up berry growth time, but will dry the soil faster- Damp Mulch slows the growth time, but keeps the soil moist

- Stable Mulch extends the time berries will stay on the plant before falling off- Gooey Mulch restores soil where plants have withered

You can also pick up an Odd Keystone from the man standing by the yellow tree, just south ofthe Berry Master's house. You will need this item if you want to catch a Spiritomb.

Hearthome City

As you enter Hearthome City, a stray Buneary will run into you, with its trainer not far behind it.

She'll thank you for catching her Buneary and suggest that you drop by the Pokemon Contest

Hall. Head there now and you'll find her talking to your Mom. Both women will talk to you

about contests, and then leave. Talk to the woman dressed in purple, and she will reveal herselfto be Fantina, Hearthome City's Gym Leader. She'll head to her gym where you can challengeher for the Relic Badge. This is different from Diamond and Pearl, where you must earn the

Cobble and Fen Badges before challenging Fantina.

There's a couple of things you can do around the city. Visit the house next to the PokemonCenter. This is home to Bebe, the Sinnoh Administrator for the Box System. If you have a spare

slot in your team, you can grab an Eevee off her. From now on, her name will appear instead of"Someone's PC" whenever you access the box storage system.

Inside the house to the east of the PokeMart, talk to the elderly gentleman who is the head of the

Pokemon Fan Club. After listening to his rambles, he'll give you a Poffin Case, which can beused to store Poffin you bake from berries. This can be done in the Poffin House, which is the

house to the west of the PokeMart.

You can also visit Amity Square, which is a park for certain cute Pokemon like Drifloon,

Pikachu, Psyduck and Clefairy. There are two entrances, both on the north sides of the city. Eachentrance leads to a different area inside Amity Square - note this is different from Diamond and

Pearl. Inside, your Pokemon may pick up some fashion accessories or some berries. You can alsohead in to get some items like TM43 - Secret Power, TM45 - Attract and an Amulet Coin. You'll

also notice that the clay houses will transport you to another part of Amity Square, somethingthey didn't do in Diamond and Pearl.

When you are ready, head to the gym. You will notice it has a completely different layout from

Diamond and Pearl. The idea is to find the pattern on the blue tile, then enter the door with thecorresponding pattern on a red tile. However, the room is dark and the only source of

illumination is your flashlight and the eyes on the Duskull Lamps. Note that the pattern willchange each time you enter the room! If you head through the wrong door, you'll find yourself

back at the beginning, so it's in your best interest to get it right. Here's a look at a sample roomwith all the lights turned on:

Ghost Pokemon don't have many weaknesses, so it's difficult to recommend a particular type ofPokemon to use. If your Pokemon have Dark or Ghost attacks, they will definitely come in

handy. Normal Pokemon can be used as an immunity against those Ghost moves, but make surethey're able to use non-Normal and non-Fighting moves!

When the battle is over, Fantina will give you the Relic Badge, which gives you the ability to use

HM05 - Defog outside of battle. You'll also get TM65 - Shadow Claw, which is a Ghost move

that has a high critical hit rate.

North of the Hallowed Tower, you'll find the Lost Tower, a Pokemon Graveyard. There's not

much you can do here at the moment, but you can find TM27 - Return inside. On the third floor,you'll notice the area has become foggy. During foggy conditions, Pokemon will have reduced

accuracy and this can only be removed by the HM Defog (which you probably don't have). Justnorth of the Lost Tower is Solaceon Town.

Solaceon Town

The main location of interest here is the Day Care Center, where the owners will hold up to twoof your Pokemon. While here, they will gain one experience point per step you take, but moreimportantly, if they are in the same egg group, they have a chance of producing an egg. After

you deposit your first two Pokemon, exit and re-enter the Day Care Center and the man therewill give you the Day Care Checker app for the Poketch.

Head east as far as you can from the Day Care Center and down a few ledges. You'll see the

there aren't any loops or magic doors. Each room will be clearly marked as a dead-end (there's asingle rock in the room) or more stairs signalling you can proceed. If you're in a rush to get to the

end, take the top right stairs, bottom left, top right, top left, top left and bottom left. You'll arrivein a room with four item balls: a Nugget, a Mind Plate, Odd Incense as well as HM05 - Defog.

To get the item ball on the ledge by the entrance, you will need to catch all 28 types of Unown,and enter the Ruin Maniac's Tunnel on Route 214.

Veilstone City

After your wet journey through Route 215, you'll arrive at Veilstone City, home of the Game

Corner and the Pokemon MegaMart. You'll also see a Team Galactic presence on the north sideof town, and some meteorites on the east side of town. These meteorites can be used to transformDeoxys into one of its four formes - Normal, Attack, Defense and Speed. Anyway, to progress,

head to the Gym on the southeast corner of the city, and you'll bump into Rowan's assistant.While you two talk, Pastoria City's Gym Leader, Crasher Wake, will emerge from the Veilstone

Gym. He'll talk to you briefly before both him and Rowan's assistant leave. Enter the Gym andprepare for a fight.

Veilstone Gym has changed from Diamond and Pearl. Instead of sliding partitions across thegym, push the punching bags to knock any obstacles out of the way. By pushing them, you will

also free up some walkways to get to Maylene, the Gym Leader. You should concentrate on

knocking the three sets of tyres on the west side of the gym down. The punching bags will travelas far as they can until they reach an orange clamp in the overhead railing, so certain bags willneed to be pushed multiple times.

If you followed my advice from Eterna Gym and you got yourself a Starly, it should havehopefully evolved by now and a Staravia should be able to handle this gym quite easily.

Otherwise, any Psychic or Ghost types like Kadabra and Haunter will make this a quick battle.

Maylene will award you the Cobble Badge when you beat her, which lets you use HM02 - Fly

outside of battle, as well as make all Pokemon of level 50 and below obey you, even if they wereobtained in a trade. You will also get TM60 - Drain Punch, which absorbs HP equal to half the

amount of damage caused.


Galactic Warehouse

As you exit Veilstone Gym, you'll be greeted by Professor Rowan's assistant, whose Pokedex has

been stolen by Team Galactic. Head to the north side of town where the two of you will team upagainst the two Grunts guarding the entrance to the warehouse. Following the battle, the Grunts

will run into the warehouse and the Detective will talk to you. You'll follow him inside thewarehouse, where the Grunts are nowhere to be seen. However, you can pick up HM02 - Fly.

There's not much else to do at the moment, so now it's time to head to Pastoria City. Head southout of Veilstone City onto Route 214.

The entrance to the lake is currently blocked by two

cameramen, and there's not much you can do to movethem, so continue south to the lakeside resort, Hotel

Grand Lake. At the hotel, you can find the Seven StarsRestaurant, where you can battle several trainers. The

trainers change each day, so you can keep coming

back for more battles. There are also several itemsaround the place, and you can earn a few more byhelping the lady who's lost her room key. Head to the

back door of the hotel reception and use the DowsingMachine on your Poketch. It should register a hidden

item nearby - this is the missing key. Return it to thelady and she'll give you a White Flute.

The man inside the hotel reception will heal your

Pokemon if they're a bit wounded from the battles atthe restaurant. Ohterwise the road east is conveniently

out because of a power cut in Sunyshore City, so theonly way remaining is to head south onto Route 213.

The house on the beach is home to Mr. Footprint, whowill award you the Footprint Ribbon if your

Pokemon's happiness is maxed out. Just beyond is theentrance to Pastoria City.

Pastoria City is home to the Great Marsh, a Safari Zone of sorts where you pay a fee and have a

limited amount of time to catch as many Pokemon as you can. The layout has been changedslightly from Diamond and Pearl, as well as some aesthetics, and HM05 - Defog has been shifted

to Solaceon Ruins. Have a go at catching some Pokemon, and when you're done, head to theGym. Your rival will show up and battle you. There have been a few sparse moveset changes to

his team, but a marked level increase, since you fought him in Hearthome City.

Again, exploit the elemental weaknesses of his Pokemon and it should be a breeze. He'll run off,leaving you to enter Pastoria Gym. The layout hasn't changed since Diamond and Pearl, so the

strategy remains the same: use the switches to raise or lower the water level so you can walk

across the floating bridges. Create a path for yourself to get to Crasher Wake.- First of all, loop around to the left and hit the yellow switch by the Tuber to lower the waterlevel

- Head down the stairs and continue north. Ascend two flights of stairs and hit the green switch- Go down one flight of stairs and head to the west side. Hit the blue switch by the sailor

- Cross south, ignore the yellow switch and the male Tuber and cross over by the female Tuber.Hit the green switch north of her, by the Fisherman

- Head south down the flight of stairs and hit the yellow switch all the way south- Head north up and down the stairs, over to the other side of the gym, then up two flights of

stairs. Hit the blue switch by the Fisherman- Cross the two floating bridges to get to Wake

A decent Electric move should be able KO Gyarados within a couple of hits due to its 4xweakness to Electric attacks. Similarly, a Grass move should take out Quagsire for the same

reason. Whoever is leftover can fight Floatzel. Not too difficult of a battle, but just be careful ofsome unexpected side effects from attacks like Water Pulse, Bite and Crunch.

When Wake is defeated, he'll give you the Fen Badge, which allows the use of HM03 - Surf

outside of battle. You'll also get TM55 - Brine, which deals double damage if the enemy

Pokemon is at half health or less.


The Road to Celestic Town


35/117

As soon as you step out of Pastoria Gym, your rival will be back with some news. Crasher Wakewill emerge from the gym and talk to the both of you, before heading to the Great Marsh with

your rival. Follow them and chase the Galactic Grunt to the east after Wake leaves to investigatethe explosion. On the beach of Route 213, the Detective will meet you and head off to the

lakeside hotel for more information. Talk to him at the hotel reception, then head north to Lake

Valor. You'll spot the rogue Grunt on the way, and he'll battle you.

Cynthia and your rival will appear after the battle. You'll receive the Secret Potion as a remedy

for the Psyduck on Route 210 before both her and your rival head to Lake Valor to investigate.Now that you have Fly, it should be easy to get back to Solaceon Town. Head north, use the

Secret Potion on the Psyduck and Cynthia will show up and give you the Old Charm to give toher grandmother in Celestic Town. Continue north into the foggy part of Route 210.

This is a good time to teach one of your Pokemon Defog, and use it to clear the fog from theroute so you can see where you're going. It's not essential but it certainly makes things easier,especially if you're unfamiliar with the route. Along the way, you'll see some thin planks that you

can't walk on. Instead, use your bike to cross them. Keep heading west and you'll end up inCelestic Town.

Celestic Town

Talk to the old woman to the west of the Pokemon Center. This is Cynthia's grandmother. She'll

tell you about the Galactic Grunt guarding the entrance to the shrine, so head down the stairs andbattle the Grunt at the north end of town. After the battle, Cynthia's grandmother will thank you,

and you'll give her the Old Charm. Head inside the shrine and examine the mural at the back ofthe room depicting Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit. Galactic's Boss Cyrus will show up and you'll battle

him.

After the battle, Cyrus will disappear in a flash and you'll be rewarded HM03 - Surf by Cynthia'sgrandmother. Teach it to your Pokemon and fly to Jubilife City. Head west onto Route 218, and

If you followed my advice from Eterna Gym, your Starly should be a Staraptor now, and thatmeans Heracross and Roserade/Torterra should be no problem at all. The battle shouldn't be too

difficult if you've kept up your levels since you last battled him, and if you're having troubles,you should train a bit more.

He'll head off as usual, leaving you to explore around town. Head past the gym and to the port

where the sailor is standing. Talk to him and he'll take you to Iron Island, a small islandmountain north of Canalave Town. This area is entirely optional, but you need to talk to Riley,

who is standing at the entrance to the cave, to receive HM04 - Strength. You'll need this later.


40/117

You can continue to explore Iron Island, but to proceed with the game, head back to CanalaveGym.

The layout is the same as Diamond and Pearl. Upon entering, head left and up to take on the first

trainer. After you defeat that trainer, take the last platform on the right. Head up and right to take

on the next trainer. After you defeat that trainer, head down to the platform. When you land, godown and left to take on another trainer. After that, keep heading left then up onto the platform.When you land, go up and you should come across another trainer by a zipline. After that trainer

is defeated, keep heading right and defeat that trainer, then head down the zipline and up theother zipline to the next platform. When you land, go up to take on another trainer. After that

trainer, head left then down the next platform. When you land, you'll see a red platform to theleft. Step on the platform to be raised all the way to the top floor and you will be in front of Gym

Leader Byron.

When you defeat Byron, he will award you with the Mine Badge, which will allow you to useHM04 - Strength outside of battle, as well as make all Pokemon of level 70 and below obey you.

He will also give you TM91 - Flash Cannon, which has a 10% chance of lowering youropponent's Special Defense by 1 stage.


Canalave City

As you exit the gym, you'll bump into your rival. Follow him to Canalave Library and head to

the top floor where you'll have a meeting with Professor Rowan, his assistant, and your rival.You'll discuss the three lakes of Sinnoh: Verity, Acuity and Valor. Midway through

conversation, there will be a loud explosion and you'll hear reports that it happened at LakeValor.

It's time to investigate - fly to Pastoria or Veilstone City and make your way there. You'll see that

the lake is in a state of devastation, with all the water blasted out and the poor Magikarphelplessly flailing about on dry land. Head to the center of the lake and you'll face off againstGalactic Commander Saturn.

Same strategies again for Golbat and Bronzor, but for Purugly, try to take it down with a good

Fighting type. Remember that Fake Out will hit you first, and be careful of Hypnosis. You can

try your luck with a Ghost type, but it'll take some heavy damage from Faint Attack. Mars willvanish with her underlings in tow after the battle, and Rowan will tell you to check on your rivalat Lake Acuity. You'll want to prepare your Pokemon for a very long journey ahead, as well as

grab a Pokemon with Rock Smash, Strength and Defog. Fly to Celestic Town or Eterna City andenter Mt. Coronet.

If you came from Eterna City, make your way over to the other side of the cave. At the other

entrance, head north and use Strength to move the boulder out of the way, and continue northand around the bend to descend into the basement of Mt. Coronet. The fog will come on prettyquick, so use Defog to clear it away. There's a few items around the place, so you can take your

time to explore this area of Mt. Coronet (you can always come back later) or you can just headnorth to the stairs.

Once you've ascended the stairs, just head around the corner to the cave exit. You might notice

this small area has one change from Diamond and Pearl - the inclusion of an extra cavern which

holds nothing except for a NeverMeltIce. This cavern is in fact home to Regice, and it will only

appear if you have the Movie Promo Regigigas. Getting the Regigigas from Snowpoint Templewill not work

This area is quite linear, but it is full of trainers and snow, making running difficult at times.

You'll find a small rest house a short way into Route 216. Heal up, and persevere. Just north isRoute 217, and it will start snowing heavily. While you're on Route 217, Hail will automatically

be set up in any battle you partake in.

Continue north, and as you pass a block of trees, stick to the west side of the route. You should

reach a house with a lone Hiker inside. He'll explain that he's lost his HM, so go outside and pick

it up for him (it's at the back of his out). Return it to him and he'll let you keep it, as well as giveyou an Icicle Plate for your honesty. Continue north and if you stick to the east side, you'll see a

house where a girl inside will give you a Spell Tag. Just north of this house is Ice Rock, whereyou can level up an Eevee and it will evolve into a Glaceon. Just north from here is Acuity

Lakefront. You'll spot your rival at the top of a slope; you'll need the HM you got earlier, HM08- Rock Climb, to scale the wall. Unfortunately, you'll need Snowpoint City Gym's badge to use

it, so continue east and you'll arrive at Snowpoint City.

Snowpoint City

The house in the northeast corner of town is home to one of Sinnoh's tutors, as well as a man

who will add a random word to your vocabulary. There's not much else to see, so you can headstraight to the gym. Snowpoint Gym has slightly changed since Diamond and Pearl so while the

puzzle is the same, the snowballs are in a different position. Destroy the snowballs in the way bysliding from higher levels to lower levels. You'll be stopped by stairs and patches of snow, so in

order to get the most momentum, you'll want a clear shot at the snowballs.

A Steel Pokemon should be able to sweep Candice's team since it resists almost every attack,

while being super effective against all four Pokemon. Don't let the battle with Froslass drag ontoo long or those Double Teams will really start to annoy. Once again, Once again, Staraptor's

Close Combat becomes useful, but this can be risky since Staraptor is also weak to Ice and CloseCombat obviously won't work against Froslass. Note that Sneasel is 4x weak to Fighting and

Abomasnow is 4x weak to Fire - exploit these to your own advantage.

After you defeat Candice, you will be awarded the Icicle Badge, which will allow you to use

HM08 - Rock Climb outside of battle. She will also give you TM72 - Avalanche, which doublesin power if the user is damaged before it attacks.


Team Galactic Showdown

Exit the gym and heal up. Teach one of your Pokemon Rock Climb and return to the AcuityLakefront. Inspect the row of rocks leading up the ledge and use Rock Climb to ascend the cliff.

Enter Lake Acuity and you'll see your rival lose to Galactic Commander Jupiter, who will escapeto the Galactic HQ in Veilstone City. Head there now.

At the Galactic HQ in the northeast side of town, talk to the Galactic Grunt by the satellites and

he'll scurry off. The Detective will appear and talk to you. Head to the warehouse on the otherside of town and as you examine the doors, the Detective will burst in, open the doors for you,

and head into the basement. Follow him downstairs.

Make your way all the way east until you reach a flight of stairs. Head up two flights of stairs toreach two warp pad. The warp pad on the right leads to TM49 - Snatch. Return and take the left

warp pad and continue on until you reach some stairs and a Galactic Grunt. If you take the warppad to the left, it'll lead you to the basement again where you can find TM36 - Sludge Bomb, as

well as the Galactic Key. Now you can open any door in the Galactic HQ. If you return to the

place with the Grunt and the stairs, you can head up the stairs to get TM21 - Frustration. Exit theHQ through the Warehouse entrance and make your way to the Galactic HQ main entrance.

Inside, use the Galactic Key to open the door and head up the stairs. Continue until you reach the

television room with a Scientist inside. The two warps on the far right of the corridor take you toa Green Shard and a Max Revive. Take the warp pad inside the TV room and you'll teleport to an

assembly area where the Detective is quietly observing Cyrus addressing a whole group ofGrunts. After the speech, the Detective will head off so follow him and take the warp pad. You'll

teleport right by some beds where you can heal up. Head up the stairs and to the end of thecorridor where you'll find three warp pads. The two at the top will take you to a Max Elixir and a

Protein, and the one on the left will lead you to Galactic's Boss, Cyrus.

him to the warp pad on the far right of the room (the warp pad at the top will lead you to theassembly area) and head past the research pods into the back room. You'll find the three

Climbing Mt. Coronet

Heal up and head to Oreburgh City. It's another long journey ahead, so take some items along

and make sure your Pokemon are well trained - if you had troubles with the past few battles, you

should consider getting to level 50 or so. Take a Pokemon with Rock Climb, Surf, Strength andRock Smash, then when you're ready, head east to Mt. Coronet via Route 207.

When you're inside, use Surf on the body of water just to the north. Take the narrow path and useRock Climb to ascend the cliff, then take the stairs to the second level. There are a few items

lying around, as well as an exit to Route 207 where you can pick up a Timer Ball and an Iron.The stairs to the third floor are through an opening in the north face of the cave, so cross the

wooden bridges and make your way there. As you do, the Detective will catch up to you and giveyou a Black Flute. Continue on; at the fork, going down the stairs leads you to a dead end with a

Follow the path and use Rock Climb to scale the wall. There's a cave opening to the east, but you

need to use Waterfall inside the cave to proceed. The second Rock Climb face will lead you to aledge where you can find a hidden Star Piece. The remaining option is to head west where there's

another cave opening. Head inside and follow the path around the water to the cave exit.

Outside again, head down the stairs into the ravine. The cave opening there can be used to get

back to Route 211 between Eterna City and Celestic Town, but it's currently guarded by someGalactic Grunts who won't let you through, so instead, use Rock Climb on the western wall.

Circle around to the west cliff of Mt. Coronet and enter the mountain from the entrance there.Follow the stairs up, battling the Galactic Grunts along the way until you reach the outside again.

As you head up the stairs, you'll take on two Galactic Grunts in a double battle. I'd recommend

saving at this point, because if you have serious troubles with the trainer battles ahead, you will

want to go back and train some more. In any case, proceed further and Galactic CommandersMars and Jupiter will double battle you and your rival.

Hypnosis

A point of reassurance: your rival will heal your Pokemon completely after this battle, so give it

all you've got. This battle can be extremely difficult since your rival's choices tend to be rathermisfortunate at times, so it means you're basically battling both Pokemon by yourself. On the

brightside, he can be used as a punching bag to absorb the opponents' attacks. Be careful ofBronzor and Golbat's Confuse Rays, and Skuntank's Smokescreen - you don't want to be putting

things up to chance. Hope that both Bronzor don't manage to get Light Screen and Reflect up.They both have Levitate, so stick with Fire-type attacks. The best strategy is to concentrate on

one Pokemon until one trainer is defeated, then focus on the other.

When the battle is over, your rival will heal your Pokemon and leave. Cyrus will then attempt touse the power he extracted from Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie. Dialga and Palkia will both be

summoned, causing Giratina to emerge from the Distortion World. As Cyrus disappears, you'llsee Cynthia rush up to Spear Pillar with you. When you're ready, enter the vortex.

The Distortion World


61/117

You can freely enter and leave the Distortion World through the portal. Follow Cynthia as she

walks across some pretty trippy terrains. Jump the ledge to where she's standing and walk on topof the sunken patch to activate the elevator. For future reference, these sunken patches will

usually invoke some kind of action on the platform you're on. At the bottom, follow her acrossthe floating islands and proceed. You'll see Mesprit appear, so continue left and the camera will

change as you fly onto the wall.

When you reach the elevator with two rocks on it, activate its movement by standing on thesunken patch in the middle, then proceed to the top patch of the next platform, then the left patch

on the one after that. You'll fly onto the wall where Cynthia is waiting. The other sunken patcheswill move the platform, but they lead to dead ends.


62/117

Continue right as far as you can, then down and left when you reach a new set of movingplatforms. Take the top patches on the next two platforms, and you'll descend onto another level.

Head right and you'll end up on a platform with three rocks. Activate the center patch to descendlower, and then head down and a magic platform will appear.

Cyrus will meet you briefly here. The platforms you're on now have another trick: the sunkenpatches will make visible platforms disappear and make invisible platforms appear. From where

you are, head down, right and up and you'll make a platform appear. Cross the platform and takethe path leading down, just to your right. Cross it and continue right until you reach a platform

with five rocks on it. Activate it and cross the floating platforms to your left. You'll meet Uxiesoon after.

Jump the ledge and use Strength on the boulder there. Push it down and it'll fall into the level

below. Head down and hop onto the elevator, but don't use it quite yet. Head left and Mespritwill appear and motion for you to drop the boulder there into the chasm below. You can't head

back because of the ledges, so head down and take the elevator with five rocks on it and it'llascend to the level above. Head left and you'll end up on a platform with disappearing objects, so

make your way through that by sticking to the outside of the platform.


63/117

Hop onto the elevator with four rocks (you'll see Cyrus to the right) and it'll take you back to the

area with the magic platforms. From the elevator, hop across and head down and right ontoanother elevator, this time with four rocks on it. This will take you to where Cyrus is. Continue

onwards and Giratina will buzz past. Head onto the wall and the camera will change. Continueupwards and you'll fly upside down! Surf up...or down...or whatever...the waterfall and you'll

end up on the right part of the level where Uxie and Mesprit were. Drop the boulder there intothe gap as Azelf appears, then head left and take the elevator down.

When the elevator stops moving, head up and use Strength on the boulder, and drop it into the

hole next to where Uxie is floating. Head to the left part of the level where Mesprit is. Again, useStrength and drop the boulder into the hole next to Mesprit. Finally, head to the right part of the

level and repeat for Azelf. Talk to Cynthia on the bottom part of the level, and an elevator willappear that will take you to where Cyrus is waiting. Talk to him, and he'll battle you.

Hopefully you've trained your Pokemon to a decent level prior to this battle. Staraptor's CloseCombat should take out Houndoom and Weavile, while an Electric type can take out

Honchkrow, Crobat and Gyarados. As you can see from the movesets, there are several statusinducing moves like Toxic and Will-O-Wisp that can be very annoying if they're inflicted.

Weavile is extremely quick and can sweep your team if you don't have the right defenses.
