===============================================================================[2] INTRODUCTION [SEC002]===============================================================================Legendary Pokemon are generally considered myth in the game's folklore, butthe player can obtain quite a few generally (especially in recent games) thoughit is much harder to get to and catch these Pokemon than your usual Zubat,Geodude, Tentacool, the like. With the dawn of the fourth generation, there arecurrently a total of 35 legendary Pokemon, which is (to 1 D.P.) 7.0% of the 493Pokemon that exist.

The Sinnoh region brings 14 new legendary Pokemon to the table, who namely areUxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Dialga, Palkia, Heatran, Regigigas, Giratina, Cresselia,Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus. Without outside aid, 7 of these14 are available in one game of Diamond or Pearl. To get the rest, you musteither attend events, trade or for one of these, upload Pokemon from your RSEversions. All these legendaries have a Pokedex number ranging from #480 #493.

Back in RBY, all legendary Pokemon did were sit around waiting for you (well,Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres/Mewtwo at least, Mew is a different case) and theyweren't too hard to catch, though the Pokeball somehow missing did tend to getannoying.


4/27



However, when GSC came, Hooh and Lugia continued to sit around but the trio ofthis generation, Raikou/Entei/Suicune (at least in GS) actually ran around theland, at least in Johto, and it was only by the offchance you'd encounter themthe first time. Though the Pokedex helped here. Meanwhile, Celebi did not makean appearance in the game itself except in Crystal where an event was unlocked(yes, it was an event), making it the second of the "secret" legendaries.

The next generation game and graced the Gameboy Advance, and RS largely keptthe ways of GSC, having your sitting duck legendaries (Kyogre, Groudon andRayquaza) and your runners (Latios, Latias) but also introduced a new trend

from Celebi; certain Pokemon (in this case, the opposite Lati@s) that wereactually found in areas but could only be gotten to via an event. RS were alsothe first games to have legendaries as version exclusives.

FRLGE also used the "event" legendaries, adding Navel Rock, Birth Island and onEmerald, Faraway Island to the mix.

Although Hooh & Lugia were obtainable via Colosseum and XD, Faraway Island wasthe first time Mew could EVER be found legitamately, with the exception ofevents for RBY & GSC. Birth Island also allowed Deoxys to be caught, and so faris the only way to actually get it. Jirachi was also a "secret" legendary whoformed a trio with Mew and Celebi, though Jirachi was available in a bonus diskfor Colosseum in the US and in Pokemon Channel in Europe.

However, it is worth noting that nothing was ever given out in a US event thatunlocked the Faraway Island, as far as I know. Plus, Faraway Island also hada second new element playing hide and seek with Mew.

Then with its release on September 28 in Japan, Diamond & Pearl came to being,and this time there are two that run around, three that need events, two thatare version exclusives to their respective versions, and even one that requireshelp from a previous game. Not to mention two that require a spinoff game anda bit of breeding to get them.

Platinum is soon to come and has introduced more alternate forms for legends,

something that originally only Deoxys had. It has been revealed that you cancatch the three Regi with the help of a movie Regigigas (at least in the JPNversion of Platinum) and there may be more things we don't know. There couldbe a surprise appearance from Celebi, for example.

P.S: I may write a legendary FAQ for Platinum whenever I'm capable of doing itbut no guarantees.

===============================================================================[3] Tips, Tricks and Ideas [SEC003]===============================================================================The main thing that makes legendaries hard to capture is their extremely lowcatch rate. Apart from Shaymin, Dialga and Palkia, every legendary so far has

had a capture rate of 3, which means they barely ever stay in the ball. TheMaster Ball can obviously still catch these with a 100% capture rate, but ofcourse, you only have one. I'd highly recommend using a Master Ball on a runnerlike Mesprit or Cresselia should you find that you cannot get another one. Iwould probably recommend Cresselia. All other legendaries should be caughtin something that is not a Master Ball as they do not run away. However, ifyou are capable of getting more than one Master Ball, then be my guest on whoto use it.

Other Pokeballs that can be effective are Timer Balls as legendary battles candrag out a lot sometimes, Dusk Balls as the majority of legendary battles tendto happen in dark areas, and your generic Ultra Ball for its 2x catch rate. ButDusk Balls have a 4x rate, and Timer Balls also have a 4x rate after four turns


5/27



so you may prefer to use those. If you want to get an easy legendary that isoutside a cave, I'd recommend hunting at night. Quick Balls may also come inhandy if you want to start throwing balls from the first turn.

An awful lot of legendaries also require HMs to access, so you best bring alongyour HM slaves when going hunting. I will be saying what HMs you need for eachPokemon, so don't worry about that. You don't actually need Fly for any of thembut its extremely useful for getting to places quickly, so try and utilize it.

Also, one thing legendaries allow you to do is save before them and then battle

and catch them and keep redoing that until you get a good nature. If you'regoing into the competitive scene in DP, I recommend you do try and get goodnatures, at least for the legendaries that are worth it.

And as a rule of thumb, ALWAYS save before a legendary, even if you don't planon getting a good nature. If you defeat a legendary or run out of Pokeballs andhave to run and you can't reset your save, it's gone forever.

In addition, one of the things that D/P has added is Synchronize support withlegendaries. When the ability of Synchronize to affect opponent natures firstcame to light in Emerald it only worked for common Wild Pokemon in the grass,water etc and not on any special event Wild Pokemon. However in D/P, theability will affect the chance of the legend having the same nature as theSynchronizer which can be extremely helpful in getting a required nature for aPokemon.

Lastly, some legendaries are obtained through things called Wonder Cards. Youare capable of resetting for these legendaries as long as you like until yousave after taking the Wonder Card Pokemom from the Pok Mart. Wonder Cards aregenerally obtained from special event sites.

===============================================================================[4] Base Stat Listings [SEC004]==============================================================================Every Pokmon has six numbers for their six stats (HP / Atk / Def / Spd / SAtk

/ SDef) which dictates how strong or weak the Pokemon is in those stats. Thesesix numbers added together gives you a Base Stat Total, which is what is listedhere. This list compares legendaries and some other strong but normal Pokemon.Any legendaries will be labelled with an (L).

===============================================================================[5] Legendaries [SEC005]===============================================================================The following section contains three subsections that divides the legendariesbetween those that are obtained before you get the National Dex, those that canonly be obtained after you get the National Dex and those legendaries that canonly be obtained from specific circumstances.

For the stats, MAX(+) shows the Level 100 max stats with a nature that benefits

the stat, (=) is the same thing but with a neutral nature. I feel it's pointlessto put a table for the stat with a reducing nature as if you're letting it getreduced you probably don't care about that stat anyway.

===============================BEFORE NATIONAL DEX...

OTHER NOTES: Dialga can only be caught in POKEMON DIAMOND. Dialga is an UBER, which means it cannot be used in the standard metagame.


8/27



MOVES WHEN CAUGHTNAME TYPE CATEGORY POWER EXTRA EFFECTSMetal Claw Steel Physical 50 10% chance of raising attack.Ancientpower Rock Special 60 10% chance of raising all stats.Dragon Claw Dragon Physical 80 None.Roar of Time Dragon Special 140 Requires a recharge turn after use.

Dialga is the very first legendary you will encounter in a Diamond game, andthe one that will never appear in Pearl. Dialga is the ruler of Time, and may

possibly have a connection with Celebi. It is an alterego of Arceus, the"God of Pokemon".

Anyway, Dialga's base stats are similar to Palkia's, but it is stronger inDefense and HP, while Palkia is stronger in Special Defense and Speed. TheSpecial Attack of both creatures is the same, but Palkia is probably the moreuseful one, simply because of its 100 Speed as opposed to Dialga's 90.

Dialga is found at Spear Pillar, which is literally a pillar with spears. Youhave to battle it directly after you defeat the leader of Team Galactic, whichmeans you don't get a chance to heal, To compensate for this, Game Freak madeDialga's catch rate 30 rather than 3, which means it is actually fairly easilyto catch with advanced balls, especially Dusk Balls at night.

If you wish to get a good nature for Dialga, make sure you save as soon as youdefeat the boss, as when you walk forward a certain distance you will automatically be pulled forward to Dialga.

To reach the Spear Pillar, you must enter Mt. Coronet from the entrance nearestto Oreburgh City, and Surf across the water from the north. Then you have toRock Climb up the wall, and continue through the mountain from there. But becareful on the top, as it's pretty easy to get lost.

It is very randomly at 47, and gets its own special music. Roar of Time (whythey didn't just keep it Time Roar I don't know) is probably the most dangerous

move here; the rest of Dialga's moveset shouldn't cause too many problems, evenif it is a higher level than you. But be warned, Ancientpower's 10% chance ofstat raising may just come into effect. And it won't help you at all.

Once you manage to catch it, Dawn/Lucas and Rowan will congratulate you thentake you back to the beginning of Spear Pillar. However, before leaving, headnorth and grab an item. This is the Adamant Orb, and when equipped to Dialgaall of its Steel and Dragontype attacks will be boosted by 25% of their original amount. For example, Dragon Claw becomes 100 power, as 80/4 = 20, and 80+ 20 = 100. This with the STAB bonus makes it 150 power, quite a bonus from theoriginal 120.

Also, as you cannot see Dialga with any trainers in Pearl, there is a woman in

Celestic Town (an old woman) who will show you a picture of Dialga. She is inthe biggest house of the town, I believe. She will show it to you anytimeafter you catch or defeat Palkia.

OTHER NOTES: Palkia can only be caught in POKEMON PEARL. Palkia is an UBER, which means it cannot be used in the standard metagame.

MOVES WHEN CAUGHTNAME TYPE CATEGORY POWER EXTRA EFFECTSWater Pulse Water Special 60 10% chance of causing confusion.Ancientpower Rock Special 60 10% chance of raising all stats.Dragon Claw Dragon Physical 80 None.Spacial Rend Dragon Special 100 High critical hit ratio.

Palkia is the first legendary and the mascot of a game of Pokemon Pearl, andis the one that will never appear in Diamond. Palkia is the ruler of Space,and may possibly (and here, I mean possibly) have a connection with Deoxys.It is also an alterego of Arceus.

Palkia's base stats are the same as Dialga's, with the exception of 20 Def and10 HP traded for 20 SDef and 10 Speed, which actually help quite a lot in theuber metagame. Plus, Palkia is one of the few legendaries that benefit greatlyfrom Kyogre's Drizzle ability, as Surf combined with Palkia's Lustrous Orb andSTAB and the rain becomes about 265 power, which is actually stronger than anorbed Draco Meteor.

Palkia is found at Spear Pillar, which is literally a pillar with spears. Youhave to battle it directly after you defeat the leader of Team Galactic, whichmeans you don't get a chance to heal, To compensate for this, Game Freak madePalkia's catch rate 30 rather than 3, which means it is actually fairly easilyto catch with advanced balls, especially Dusk Balls at night. Actually, you

could also use Net Balls on Palkia (thanks to someone for telling me this) asit's a Watertype legendary.

If you wish to get a good nature for Palkia, make sure you save as soon as youdefeat the boss, as when you walk forward a certain distance you will automatically be pulled forward to Palkia.

To reach the Spear Pillar, you must enter Mt. Coronet from the entrance nearestto Oreburgh City, and Surf across the water from the north. Then you have toRock Climb up the wall, and continue through the mountain from there. But becareful on the top, as it's pretty easy to get lost.

Palkia is also found at Level 47, and has two moves the same as Dialga, two

different. Water Pulse can cause a hell of a lot more problems than Metal Clawthanks to the confusion rate and it running much better off Palkia's stats.Plus, Spacial Rend's critical hit ratio combined with the STAB can easily takeit up to 300 power, which is severely damaging off Palkia's Special Attack. Becareful.

If you manage to catch it, Dawn/Lucas and Rowan will take you to the beginningof Spear Pillar like Dialga, and once again there is an item waiting for you atthe top. Head forward and pick up the Lustrous Orb, an item that boosts anyWater or Dragon attacks Palkia uses by 25% of their original amount. For anexample, Water Pulse would become 75 power, as 60/4 = 15, and 60 + 15 = 75.The STAB bonus would take 75 up to 109 power, which is quite a bit higher thanthe original 90.


10/27



Also, as you do not see Palkia with any trainers in Diamond, there is a womanwho will show you a picture of it in the biggest house in Celestic Town. An oldwoman, FYI. She will show it to you anytime after you catch or defeat Dialga.

MOVES WHEN CAUGHTNAME TYPE CATEGORY POWER EXTRA EFFECTSConfusion Psychic Special 50 10% chance of causing confusion.Yawn Normal Other Opponent falls asleep next turn.Future Sight Psychic Special 80 Strikes two turns after use.Amnesia Psychic Other Raises SDEF by two stages.

Uxie is the yellow pixie of the legendary trio, and is also the defensive one.Uxie is an efficent wall, sporting a fairly good defensive moveset, but it hasreally bad attacking stats, and pretty bad HP too. Compare this to Cresselia,who has slightly less defense, but a hell of a lot more HP, and you've got a

Pokemon that really doesn't need to be used. Though I suppose Uxie does havethe ability to use Yawn and Stealth Rock.

Nonetheless you must engage in battle with it to get it into your Pokedex, soyou'll have to at some point. You can catch Uxie as soon as you complete theDialga/Palkia quest, at Lake Acuity near Snowpoint City.

Getting to Uxie is simple. You must enter the lake, then simply Surf and enterthe cave in the center. Uxie will be waiting there for you feel free to saveright in front of it.

Uxie, along with Mesprit and Azelf gets its own theme music, which seems tohave an egyptian feel to it. Although Uxie is at Level 50, it probably won't

kill you quickly by any means. Just work on whittling down its HP, then startthrowing the balls. It could be pretty hard to catch.

That's all there is to it.

===============================================================================[MSPT] #481 MESPRIT===============================================================================SINNOH DEX NUMBER: #147LOCATION: Lake Verity BEFORE you talk to it.TYPE: PsychicLEVEL FOUND: 50HM MOVES REQUIRED: HM03 Surf, Poketch Map (Optional)

OTHER NOTES: Mesprit is one of the two DP runners. A Master Ball is somewhat recommended to catch this Pokemon.

Mesprit's nature and stats are set when it runs away from Lake Verity.

Mesprit, the balanced one of the psychic trio, and my personal favourite. Tosee Mesprit is easy; simply go over to Lake Verity, and Surf the lake untilyou reach the cavern. Talk to Mesprit, and you'll be shown a picture.

Then it flies away, to be seen again. Rowan comes in and explains that Mesprit'wants to play with you', and by playing with you it means Mesprit wants youto chase it over Sinnoh until you catch or faint it. I'd go for the catchingoption, especially with a Master Ball. You can leave catching Mesprit untilafter you get the National Dex, so you can easily Pal Park another Master Ballto use.

Now, how to find Mesprit? Unlike G/S/C/R/S/E/FR/LG, you cannot simply view thePokedex to see its location. Instead, you get an even easier option view thepink critter on the map of your Poketch! You can get this app from a guy on thefirst floor of the Poketch Building in Jubilife City after 3 badges.

Simply track down Mesprit onto a route that you and it are on, then encounterit. The usual trio music will play, and your Level 50 Mesprit will appear.Either Master Ball it, or sleep/Mean Look it and start whittling down its HP.Any damage/status (like paralyze) it obtains will stay every time you encounterit.

Note that you can also save in a patch of grass, and reset. This changes thelocation of Mesprit, so you can keep doing this until its in your route. Then,try a Max Repel with a Pokemon under 50 but higher than the Wild Pokemon in thearea to encounter it easily. Actually, you should enable the repel before yousave, as then you can keep resetting and have the repel active.

And FYI, you cannot encounter Mesprit (and likewise, Cresselia) on the islandin the northeast.

MOVES WHEN CAUGHT

NAME TYPE CATEGORY POWER EXTRA EFFECTSConfusion Psychic Special 50 10% chance of causing confusion.Uproar Normal Special 50 Hits for 25 turns. Stops sleep.Future Sight Psychic Special 80 Strikes two turns after use.Nasty Plot Dark Other Raises SATK by two stages.

Azelf is the sweeper of the trio, but it's so much more powerful than Uxie andMesprit. It learns a variety of moves, including Explosion which runs verygood off its 125 attack base, putting a huge dent in Blissey even when Azelfhas a Atk nature like Timid, though the standard is Hasty or Naive. Azelfalso learns good moves such as Nasty Plot, UTurn, Psychic, Thunderbolt,Fire Blast, and more. It truly is an impressive Pokemon, although a bit frail.However, its sheer movepool is what gives it an advantage over Alakazam in thespecial sweeper department. Like the only thing Zam gets that Azelf doesn't isFocus Blast.

Anyway, I think I've explained how awesome it is. To get Azelf, you must go toLake Valor (which I personally think looks ugly without a u but that's how thegame spells it) which is located south of Veilstone City, east of Pastoria andwest of Sunyshore. Once again, Surf on the lake and reach the cavern, and savein front of it. Talk to it and engage in battle, theme music playing. This ispretty much identical to Uxie, right down to the effective Pokeballs likeDusk Balls.

But unlike Uxie, I recommend trying to get a good nature for Azelf as it will

be useful. If you can spare a few Master Balls on your ADV games, trade themvia Pal Park to your D/P for Mesprit and Cresselia and catch Azelf with theMaster Ball instead to get natures way easier. Because the catch rate of 3really doesn't let you get a nature so easily.

I personally don't consider Rotom a legendary because of its average stats,but as a oneoff Pokemon, I may as well include it.

Our Electric/Ghost friend is found in the Old Chateau at the end of Eterna

Forest after you get the National Dex, but only at night. Come at night,and walk into the mansion of ghosts. Including human ghosts.

Head upstairs and into the northern set of rooms, then find the one with theTV in it. Save and press A on the TV, and you'll be asked if you want to thumpit. Say yes, and you'll hear a cry, and the ...legendary music will start.This thing isn't too powerful or too hard to catch. Just... catch it.

Now here's the real defensive Psychic. Cresselia sports extremely good defensestats, having a max of 444 HP, 372 Defense and 394 Special Defense with theirrespective natures.

As for getting Cresselia, after getting the National Dex you must get toCanalave City. Once there, head into the house that is directly next to thecity's port. There should be a boy in a bed, muttering about "Dark". Quiteobviously a problem with Darkrai.

Talk to the mother too then head outside and talk to the sailor, who is alsothe father of this child. He will ask you to go to Fullmoon Island to get theLunar Wing agree to and you'll be taken to Fullmoon Island.

Follow the island around and enter the clearing. You will see a crescentlikePokemon there this is Cresselia. Talk to it, and you'll be shown a picturewhich is added to your Pokedex then the Cresselia will fly away, leaving

a Lunar Wing for you to pick up. Take the Lunar Wing and heal the child in thehouse, then start hunting for Cresselia in the same way that I suggested youhunt for Mesprit. I personally like alternating between Route 205 and ValleyWindworks.

OTHER NOTES: One of the three Level 70 legendaries. Giratina is an UBER, which means it cannot be used in the standard metagame. The first legendary Ghosttype.

MOVES WHEN CAUGHTNAME TYPE CATEGORY POWER EXTRA EFFECTSShadow Force Ghost Physical 120 Disappears 1st turn, attacks 2nd.Heal Block Psychic Other Prevents HP Recovery moves.Earth Power Ground Special 90 10% of lowering opponent's SDEF.Slash Normal Physical 70 High critical hit ratio.

Here we have the best defensive legendary this generation, and is actually toostrong that it doesn't belong in the normal Overused metagame, so you won't,or at least shouldn't see it in your normal battles.

Giratina has an interesting type combination which has never been seen before,and Ghost & Dragon combined give it resistance to many things including Fire,Water, Grass, Electric and Bug and a complete immunity to Fighting and Normalattacks. Its attack stats are also half decent so Giratina will be able toattack.

As for getting Giratina, it may be a bit complicated as you have to navigateyour way through a maze. Giratina can be found in Turnback Cave, which isfound in the Spring Path. You need the National Dex for the Spring Path toeven appear, so there's no chance of getting Giratina before then.

Once you reach the Spring Path which you can get to from Route 214, do a bit

of Rock Climbing around (be aware of the Level ~54 Pokemon here) and go arounduntil you reach a cave opening. Enter this is Turnback Cave.

This structure retains some elements from the Lost Cave in FR/LG, giving youa choice of three doors, and you must solve a puzzle to find out which doorto go through. One rule is that you never go back through the door you cameinto the room with this is why you only get a choice of three doors.

Puzzles in this cave can be based on things such as symmetry or numbers, butthis is not always the case. Some seem completely random, and I don't have aclue how to solve them. Symmetrical rooms will have a setup something likethis:


15/27



OOOOOXOOOOO X = DoorO O O = WallOo oO o = RockX XO oOOo OOOOOOXOOOOO

As you can see, the rock on the left wall is misplaced. I think this meansthe left door is the one you go through, but you need a good eye to get these

puzzles.

Sometimes you'll encounter rooms with a pipe like structure in the middle,which has two numbers on it. An example would be:

312

According to the beginning of the cave, you must pass three pillars within30 rooms. The top number of the pillar is the number of pillars you havepassed; before you pass the first pillar, the wild Pokemon will be around 45.After you pass the first pillar, they will be around 55. After you pass thesecond, they will be around 65. When you reach the third, the next room willalways be Giratina. Which room you pick to go through in these pillar roomsdon't actually matter, as long as it isn't the one you just came through.Thank you to loads of people who sent me emails about this, and also to"areyesv99" for detailing where the level of the Wild Pokemon change.

Once you reach the prize room, the big red striped creature will be waiting.Save, and engage in battle. At Level 70, Giratina could cause some problems,so be careful.

One move to beware of is Shadow Force; it is basically like Fly or Dig, so youcould switch to a Normaltype Pokemon to avoid it as it is a Ghosttype move,but the attack itself has 100% accuarcy, 120 power, and an added effect that

prevents Protect and Detect being used on the turn it connects. Oh, it alsostops you throwing Poke Balls at it when Giratina isn't on the screen. Yay.Keep at it and you'll catch it eventually, but it might be hard.

Heatran itself doesn't have too bad stats. Unfortunately, its type combinationFire/Steel lets it down, as combining two Groundweak types is a VERY BAD ideaas then you're 4x weak to Earthquake, one of, if not the most common move inthe metagame. This means you'll have to play Heatran carefully if you're goingto even hope to use it.

Getting Heatran itself can be a bit on the long side. You must head to StarkMountain, and complete the partnership with Buck, who will help you with aLevel 58 Claydol. However, once he removes the volcanic rock in the mountain,the volcano's activity will start going crazy. Head to the Survival Area thatis in the Northwest, and talk to Buck who is in one of the houses here. Hewill vanish somewhere, and then you must head back to Stark Mountain.

Head through the place again, this time on your own which means you can useRock Climb to get through the place a lot easier. Once you reach the room thevolcanic rock was in, you'll find one lovely Heatran waiting for you in thecircle of stones that surrounded the rock.

Walk up, save and engage battle.

Heatran's level, like Giratina's also means it may have a much easier timetaking down your Pokemon than usual. Be especially careful of Lava Plume, asa 30% chance of burning and an attack with STAB off 130 Special Attack canreally hurt, especially if you're using Grass, Bug or Ice types. Earthquakeon a Pokemon that is a fairly lower level than Heatran and doesn't have aSTAB bonus is one way to weaken it, though you could also use Water, Fightingor some other types to weaken it. Once ready, start trying to catch it.

Regigigas is the King of the Regi trio, and to awaken it you need to have itssubjects Regirock, Regice and Registeel in your party when you talk to it.


17/27



Otherwise, it will not respond.

You can get the three Regi from Pal Park; I believe all three are found in thecliff/mountainous area, though I'm not completely sure about Regice. Anyway,once you have all three, Fly to Snowpoint City and head north to the SnowpointTemple. If you have the National Dex, Candice will allow you into the templebecause of a "word from Cynthia". Walk in, and get ready to solve a coupleice puzzles.

The Pokemon in here are Level 50 55. Although strangely, even though it is

after you get the National Dex you won't see any Wild Pokemon that aren't inthe Sinnoh Dex (except Regigigas, obviously). Anyway, work your way down theseveral floors of the temple, and slide on ice and break rocks when neccessaryand you should eventually reach the bottom level.

This floor is simply a huge ice puzzle and one large legendary in the center.I don't have any exact instructions for the puzzle as of yet, but what I doremember is that you must take the ice path that is the tallest when you comedown the stairs from above.

Use rocks to your advantage, and you should hopefully reach the center, whereRegigigas and a part of the normal temple await. By normal temple, I mean WildPokemon can still appear by there. That really spoiled the moment for me once,as I was walking up to Regigigas and a Sneasel decided to call. Yaaaaay.

Press A, engage in battle, blah blah blah. This is the third Level 70 legendof the game, so again it may be a bit difficult. Slow Start halves its attackand speed for the first 5 turns, which actually completely screws it in aCompetitive battle so don't bother trying for a good nature if you don't wantto, but it'll probably survive 5 balls, even if they are Dusk or Quick Balls.

You may notice it has two moves that can flinch. Be careful of these, as 100base speed might allow it to outspeed some of your Pokemon after Slow Startwears off. 20% flinch is bad, but STAB + 30% flinch is even worse. (Yes,Normaltypes do get STAB. Don't send me an email that says they don't like

I've had once before.)

Superpower could pose a problem the first few times but in the long run it'llhelp you because of the stat lowering. Confuse Ray is more annoying thandangerous, but 50% chance of hitting yourself can really hurt sometimes.

**Note: Regigigas was also distributed as a promotional event of the movie"Giratina & the Bouquet of the Sky". These Regigigas came at Level 100 in aCherish Ball and had the special moves Icy Wind and Rock Smash. However, itcame with no EVs. Due to it coming at Level 100, it cannot get any EVs. Shouldyou encounter a Regigigas with Icy Wind or Rock Slide that has Effort Valuesin any stat that total over 100, it has been hacked.

==============================================================================

==============================================================================EVENT ONLY... [5.3]

Before this section starts, let me just inform you that you can get Darkraiand Shaymin on the majority of Japanese versions of Diamond and Pearl, byusing a glitch to do with the Elite Four's door. See L255J's FAQ if you'reinterested. I repeat that this is only for Japanese versions of these games.

Also, all Pokemon here need some sort of outside help to access, whether itbe a Nintendo Event or a copy of Pokemon Ranger. If you cannot find the itemyou need, it is because you haven't unlocked the event to get it. Unless of

course, you're lucky enough to have the E4 Door glitch. Oh, Action Replay isan option too.

MOVES WHEN CAUGHTNAME TYPE CATEGORY POWER EXTRA EFFECTSTail Glow Bug Other Raises SATK by 2 levels.Bubble Water Special 20 10% of lowering opponent's SPD.Water Sport Water Other Reduces Firemove power on user.

Manaphy is the new 'Mew', though unlike its predecessors Manaphy does not havea part Psychic type. It also shares something in common with Jirachi (at leastin Europe for Jirachi) that it is fairly easy to get, that is if you're happyto fork out about $35 USD or 30 GBP to get Pokemon Ranger.

To get Manaphy, you must get the egg on the game. On American versions of thegame, when the RangerNet can be accessed by the button combination R + X +

DPad Left on the title screen of Pokemon Ranger, you must enter the codeP8M29D6F43H7. The game should accept it and give you a new mission rescuethe egg. Europeans should do the same thing with European versions of PokemonRanger but instead enter the code Mg35Cpb84FW8.

Once you do this, load up your copy of Diamond or Pearl. I have heard from afriend that you do not actually need Mystery Gift and that a 'Transfer ManaphyEgg' option appears in the same menu as Continue/New Game etc when the eggis checked on.

Once the egg is successfully transferred, head to any Poke Mart in Sinnohapart from the Pokemon League or Department Store in Veilstone, and talk tothe guy dressed in green with an empty slot in your party. You will recieve

a Manaphy egg!

Walk about 2,560 steps or if you have a Flame Body/Magma Armor Pokemon in yourparty, 1,280 and watch it hatch. It has a different animation when it hatchesthan it does usually, but you'll end up with a Manaphy all the same.

Note that this Manaphy is breedable with a Ditto, but the result will be aPhione which appears as an underdeveloped Manaphy who likes warm seas asopposed to cold seas. You can get as many Phione as you like as long as youhave a Manaphy or a Phione, but they aren't that valuable so don't try tostrike up a trade such as a Phione for an Arceus. Manaphy however can probablygo for a bit.


19/27



And one more thing. You can trade across the Manaphy egg as soon as you reachabout Jubilife City, I think.

**NOTE: Manaphy is also available from several events. The most notable one wasthe Toys R' Us event in America that distributed a Level 50 Manaphy that held aRed Scarf. However, Pokemon Ranger is the only option that will always work.Manaphy is also available by a similar method from Pokemon Ranger's sequel,Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.

Now, here we have Phione, the offspring of any Manaphy who breed with a Ditto

in Sinnoh, yet an offspring who will never evolve into a Manaphy. If you getstuck with a Phione, you won't be getting a Manaphy unless you can eithertrade for one, use Ranger or use an Action Replay to get one.

Phione is basically an underdeveloped Manaphy, and because of this it doesn'tlearn Tail Glow or Heart Swap, which really ruins it. Plus, having a base stattotal that equals Glalie isn't going to help. This thing is Underused at bestIMO, maybe even Neverused quality.

So yeah, the only thing you'll ever need this for is to complete your NationalDex.

Phione can also be gotten from Pokemon Ranch, a WiiWare game. If you put 250

different Pokemon from up to 8 different D/P games into Pokemon Ranch, thenyou can trade Hayley a Leafeon in exchange for a Phione.

Ah, now this is something I like. 125 Speed, 135 Special Attack, a movepoolto rival Gengar's, the stats to use this movepool, and an awesome signaturemove in Dark Void, which has 80% accuaracy, puts all opponents to sleep (yes,that means both in a double battle) and has a great animation to boot.

After attending an event and downloading the appropiate data to your game viaMystery Gift, check any Pokemart with a blue top to find a green man inside.Talk to him and recieve your Member's Card. Now you can get in. If you havehealed the boy in the house next to the Canalave dock with the Lunar Wing, thatis.

Once this this done, enter the inn, and a man will tell you that you have areservation. You will go to sleep, and then you'll end up on an island. Youcan't get off the island, so I hope you brought the right Pokemon with you.Head around the island and into the clearing, and you'll find a large puddlewith one Darkrai floating in the middle. Save and encounter.

Usual things here, be careful of Hypnosis as Bad Dreams is an ability thatcauses ~13% damage to any opponent when they're asleep on the field. This

won't effect Darkrai itself or Darkrai's partner, but it will effect Darkraiand yours if an opposing Darkrai is on the field. Nightmare added to that willhurt a lot, as the move deals 25% HP every turn you're asleep.

After you catch Darkrai, the screen will flash several times and then you'llfind yourself back in the inn. The town's sailor will come in and tell youthat you've been asleep for a long time, then leave. The sailor's son doesactually mention Darkrai. First time they're referenced event Pokemon in thegame, apart from Mew.

**NOTE: As of 29 July 2008, there has been no way to actually get Darkrai atNewmoon Island. Darkrai has been available from movie giveaways and also fromthe game Pokemon Ranger: Batonnage or as it will be known in English speaking

countries, Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. Both of these are limited timethough. Darkrai has also been given out in Europe in the chain store Woolworthsand in America in Toys R' Us.

Shaymin is the other 100 stat legendary of Diamond and Pearl, also lackingthe Psychic type. Unfortunately, Celebi is a whole lot better at the tanking/stalling aspect, as it has a movepool much more suited to it. Shaymin can'tdo all that much in the way of stalling, and it barely has an attackingmovepool to speak of, unless a Grass attack, Hidden Power and Psychic appealsto you.

To get Shaymin, you must again get an event, this time to get Oak's Letter.Pick it up from any blueroofed Pokemart, then head to Route 224 en routeVictory Road. The entrance to this part of Victory Road is only accessableafter you get the National Dex, as the part contains Lapras in the waters.You'll see the entrance if you head into Victory Road via the Pokemon League.

Once you get in, you'll find yourself in fog. Clear it if you want, but itisn't required. Your attacks have their accuarcy drop sharply if the fog is

active, though.

If you haven't been through here before, you will have to partner up withMarley to get through, who owns one single Level 57 Arcanine. Arcanine willusually use Helping Hand, with an extremely rare Agility and Fire Fang mixedin, and sometimes Extremespeed (thank you to several people for that).Get through and reach the end of Victory Road. The first time you do this,Marley will reference Shaymin, though not actually saying its name.

Out on Route 224, head through the area until you reach the white stone thatstands there. This time, Oak will be next to it. Talk to him and you'll bedelivered a speech about research, and then you'll be asked to thank someone.It doesn't matter what you put in, so yeah. Thank whoever/whatever and the

screen will flash white, and all of a sudden the platform will be covered inflowers.

Shaymin will walk up a new path that has opened (I swear it's shaking itships) and come onto Route 224. It will look around, then notice Oak. Oak willnotice it, and so will you. The Shaymin cries then runs away. What are youwaiting for? Chase it!

Use the bike at Gear 4 to travel north, as the Fissure Path is long. Afteryou see the flowers change several times, you will reach the Flower Paradise,and if you were in the center of the Fissure Path probably drive right intoShaymin. Save before it, and have a go at catching.


22/27



At a catch rate of 45, it isn't too hard.

**Note: As of yet, there has been no way to actually get Shaymin from FlowerParadise. The only method of getting a Shaymin so far has been to download apromotional Shaymin from events at the movie "Giratina & the Bouquet of theSky". These are limited time only.

Here we have the God of Pokemon, at a huge base stat total of 720 the onlyone of its kind. Arceus is also the highest level Pokemon apart from Red'sPikachu in GSC to appear, at an astounding level of 80. Plus, Arceus' ability allows it to change type, an ability previously only offered to Kecleonand the three Porygon. Multitype allows Arceus to change type and colour at the click of a few buttons. Simply equip any item that has the suffix"Plate" and check your Arceus' Summary. It should have changed.

Again you need an event to get Arceus, this time needing the Azure Flute. Onceyou get it, head to Oreburgh and follow the exact same path as you did up Mt.Coronet when you were heading for Dialga/Palkia. We're heading for SpearPillar again.

Once you reach it, you will get a message asking you if you want to play theAzure Flute. Do so, and a tune will play that you will probably recognize.The screen will fade out, then back in, except this time a long staircasehas appeared. Start climbing the staircase, but STOP AT THE VERY TOP OF THESTAIRCASE. DO NOT GO ONTO THE PLATFORM. Save here, then move forward. Youwill automatically be pulled forward to Arceus, and battle it.

Arceus gets its own creepy battle music here, and with it having Recover Iwould try to use a Master Ball here. You'll probably want to get a nature forthis, as it is very unlikely you'll get another one, bar the odd trade.

Hyper Beam might hurt but it has to recharge after using it, so if you cansurvive a hit from it (225 power, mind) then you shouldn't have too much

trouble. But still, it's gonna be hard to catch. I'm actually quite surprisedthe catch rate wasn't 1.

Catch it, celebrate.

**NOTE: As of yet, there has been no way to obtain an Arceus at all. It isassumed that Arceus will become available once the 12th Pokemon movie appearsin Japanese cinemas.

===============================================================================

[6] EVENTS [SEC006]===============================================================================Several times in this guide, you may have heard me refer to "Events". Eventsare things in Pokemon that allow you to get special things, most commonly rarelegendary Pokemon not normally found in the Pokemon game. What they usually dois unlock data in the game that allow you to go to places that officially youcannot go to.

They are very nearly always limited time offers and for the most part they arein Japan only. There have been a fair few in North America. They also appearin Oceania (mostly Australia) and Europe once in a blue moon. Unless you livein North America or Japan, do not count on being able to get to an event.

Most events use things called Wonder Cards. There are codes that allow you toget these Wonder Cards in your game but I will not be supplying these codes.Feel free to hunt for them yourself, however. Events are the primary use of theMystery Gift function in Diamond and Pearl.

If there is something you do not understand you can email me, but please makesure it isn't something obvious.

===============================================================================[7] ACTION REPLAY [SEC007]===============================================================================An Action Replay is a certain type of cheat device made for many consoles,

including the DS. The main site of it is CodeJunkies, but many other sitesmake codes for the products. Though Action Replay can be a bit controversial,I feel it is fine as long as it is used responsibly. As in, no shiny, 31 IVacross the board Pokemon. Getting event legendaries with it is fine in my book.

The following codes are used to activate the events in D/P. When one of theseis activated, you must press L + R to get the green man to appear in thePokemart. You will get the item of the event a Manaphy egg, a MembershipCard, Oak's Letter or an Azure Flute.

All these codes are for Action Replay, not Codebreaker or any other cheatdevice. I would recommend finding the Game ID on Codejunkies or something. Makesure you find the Game ID that fits your version I'm unsure if the American

and European Game IDs are the same or not, so be careful.

Thank you to "Metal Overlord" of Kodewerx for these codes. These codes wereintended for American copies of Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl. I don't knowif these will work for European copies but they certainly won't work withJapanese versions.

To use these, activate the code, and once you've started the game press L+Rtogether then go into a Pok Mart. You should see a green man near the counter.Also, I don't know if you need the National Dex but I recommend having itanyway. I do know that you do not need it for Manaphy though. I'm pretty sureyou do need it to get Arceus, though.

Also, here is a manual on adding codes from HectortheShadow. Note that insteadof typing in codes manually, it is also possible to use xml files to add codes.

"Right. First off, put your Diamond/Pearl cartridge into the Action Replay.Put it into the DS. Turn on the DS. After the thing is on and it's passedthe 'No endorsement from Nintendo' screen, look on the top screen and checkto see if it has Pokemon Diamond/Pearl in the big oval. If it says 'UnknownCartridge/Game', turn off the DS, take out the game. Afterwards, connect itto your computer via USB, start up the Code Manager, and click onCodejunkies US/EU game, depending on where you live. Look through the listuntil you find Pokemon Diamond/Pearl. Once you do, rightclick on the gamename, not any of the codes. Click 'Copy'.

Next, let's go to your Nintendo DS part of the Code Manager. Delete games

you're sure you'll never want such as Tiger Woods or a game with many codes.You don't have to delete too many; probably around 510. After you'redone...

Rightclick anywhere within the Nintendo DS box in your Code Manager. Click'Paste'. It should then input the data of the game you have into your ActionReplay. After you're done with this, you can disconnect your miniUSB to USBdevice from the DS and the computer.

Now, doublecheck your actual DS to see if Pokemon Diamond/Pearl is indatabase that pops up when you touch the asterisk on the main menu. If itis, give yourself a pat on the back. Now turn the DS off.

Put the cartridge into your Action Replay. Turn the game on. Get past the'No Nintedo Endorsement' screen. Touch the asterisk on the main menu. Lookon the top screen. The words '' should be highlighted by agreenishorangish oval. Press 'A'.

Now, it'll ask you to input the code name. Name it whatever the hell you'dlike; I'd name it based on what it does. After you're done choosing a name,touch 'Next >'.

Finally, it's the moment of truth. BE REALLY FRICKIN' CAREFUL. I CANNOT

STRESS THIS ENOUGH. MESS UP ONCE AND YOU COULD PERMANENTLY DAMAGE BOTH YOURGAME AND YOUR DS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Alright... so, you're confident on the code you want. You should probablyhighlight the code on the computer to make sure you don't start enteringsome other code. After you're done to make sure you don't make the mistakeof entering half of two codes, actually begin entering the code. If you seeany lowercase letters in the code you're trying to enter, they're to beentered uppercase, since you can't make your letters lowercase. So don'tworry about that. Also, the Action Replay automatically spaces between thefirst 8 symbols and last 8 symbols in the row, so don't worry about thateither. Finally, it'll automatically go to a new row when you need to. Sodon't worry about that.

After you're done not worry about anything except your code accuracy,doublecheck it to see if you put it in right by touching those littlearrows near the top of the touch screen. Triplecheck. Quadruplecheck. Youshould be done checking now. After you're done with that check, touch'Next'. It will always stall for a few seconds, so don't worry about it ifit does that.

You've inputted the code. Congratulations. All you need now is to activateit; just press 'A' when you're choosing what code to activate. Once you do,touch 'Start' on the touch screen. the two screens will go white for a fewseconds. Then the game starts up. Once you load your data, press L+R. Don't

hold them down, just press them once. Afterwards, head to any normalPokemart like, say, the one at Solaceon Town. There should be a man in agreen suit. Talk to him. He'll give you whatever the hell it is you need inorder to unlock the area for getting the pokemon. After he does, save.

CONGRATULATIONS! You've done it! Now go get your uber!

....and remember to have the National Dex beforehand unless it's Manaphy."

===============================================================================[8] FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS [SEC008]==============================================================================Seeing as I've had emails and things with the same question quite a lot, I

thought I might as well put this here. So yeah, before you email/MSN me, takea look here. You might find what you're looking for.

QUESTION Where is the boy that you heal with the Lunar Wing?ANSWER He is found in the house to the left of the sailor in Canalave City.

QUESTION Where can you find the Member's Card/Oak's Letter/Azure Flute?ANSWER They are event items, and you must get them from an event outside thegame. Hence why the Pokemon they link to are under "Events".

QUESTION How do you add codes to the Action Replay?ANSWER Use the manual. If you've lost it, Google.


26/27



QUESTION Could you add Spiritomb to your FAQ?ANSWER It isn't really a legendary, but I might in the future actually. Fornow, if you want to get it, you must drop an Odd Keystone into the welllikeobject on Route 209, then talk to 32 people in the underground who AREN'T thehikers who you get items from. Then, return to Route 209, and press A on thenow Hollowed Tower. You should encounter Spiritomb.

QUESTION What PokeMart do I get the Member's Card/Oak's Letter/Azure Flutefrom?ANSWER If you've actually downloaded them into your game, then you can find

the man who will give you them in any normal PokeMart in the game. If thedata is not in your game, then you can't get them.
