The Basics

Evolution: Evolution is when your pokemon changes into a new type ofpokemon.Evolution usually increases your stats an d can change the type of thepokemon.You can evolve pokemon by reaching a certain level, using a stone or byraising the happiness of a pokemon and then gaining a level. Each pokemonisdifferent. Some pokemon only evolve by trading or trading with a certainitemattached.

Evolve by Stone: To evolve a pokemon by stone, you just use the stone onthepokemon. It will evolve immediately. This is good because that means youcanevolve it whenever you want and evolution = stat gain. The downside is thatmost pokemon will not learn anymore moves once you evolve it by stone. Theycanstill learn TMs but they will not learn any level -up moves. You have to besurethat you have all the moves you want because once you evolve it, it's done.Themove relearner can show you new moves for your pokemon but any of the pre -evolution moves will not be listed.

Evolve by Happiness: You raise your pokemon's happiness, then you level upandit evolves. You raise its happiness by putting it in your party and walkingaround with it, making it win battles, giving vitamins and by giving it thesoothe bell. Do not let it faint as this will lower its happiness. Anytradedpokemon have their happiness reset so you will have to go through theprocessagain if you need to after a trade.

Evolve by Level: Once your pokemon reaches a certain level, it will evolve.Youcan delay the evolution by pressing B. You may want to delay the evolutiontowait for a specific move as all non -evolved pokemon learn the moves fasterthanthe evolved forms. Sometimes though, the non -evolved form will not learn amoveso it isn't always good to delay. Any moves you miss on pokemon that youdidn'tevolve can always be learned from the move relearner once you finally doevolveit so don't worry. Attaching the everstone to a pokemon stops it from eventrying to evolve.


3/69

Evolve by Trade: These pokemon evolve once they are traded to anothertrainer.You will have to trade it to someone for it to evolve and hopefully, theywillgive it back. Sometimes a certain item has to be attached to a pokemon tomakeit evolve by trading. These items always say "It is loved by a certainpokemon"

Capturing: You can capture pokemon and train them which makes them yourown. Inorder to capture a pokemon, you should lower it's health and then use apokeball on it. Status changes and stat changes help to catch it as well.Thereare also many types of balls you can use to get the best chance at acapture.

Caves: I will not be telling you how to get to every spot in a c ave. Mycaveinstructions will only get you through the cave as fast as possible. Youshouldcheck other parts of the cave AFTER you have already gone through it. That

isthe best way to explore. If you get to the end and there is a battle youareunder leveled for, then that would be a good time to go exploring.

Battles: Battle, battle, battle. Trainers give XP, money and they help fillyour pokedex. In order to get the national dex, you need to see all 150pokes.By battling you see more and it helps fill your dex. When I beat the E4, Ihadall 150 pokes in my dex. I didn't capture them all but I saw them so I gotthenational dex immediately.

Attacks: Pick attacks according to your stats. Attacks have 3 types, other,physical and special. This is different from past pokemon games where youknewwhat kind of attack it was by it's type. For example, Prinplup has a goodspecial attack and a terrible attack. You should use moves that are specialtypes. Physical attacks (like peck) use the bad attack st at prinplup has.Thisis the same for when you are battling. If you fight an onix, then you wouldwant to use a special attack against it to combat it's high regulardefense.You do not pick attacks just because they are water anymore. HM waterfallisphysical, HM surf is special so surf is going to do MUCH more damage.

Type Attacks: If you use an electric attack on a water pokemon, you aregoingto get "It's Super Effective!" This means that your attack did 2 -4x damagetothe opposing pokemon. If the po kemon is only a single type then you woulddo 2xdamage to it. So, a Shinx using spark against a Buizel would do 2x damage.Ifthe opposing pokemon is a dual type and both types are weak to electric,then


4/69

you would do 4x damage to it. If that same Shinx u ses spark against aWingull,it is going to do 4x damage because Wingull is water/flying and both areweakto electric. KNOW YOUR TYPES! This is the same for "It's not veryeffective..."The damage you do is going to be halved or worse.

Pokedex Seen Count: Look for this to keep track of how well your pokedex iscoming along. Your numbers will probably never be exactly the same as mineexcept at the beginning so do not worry about it. Just be sure that you arereally close to mine as you go through the gam e. If you need a certainpokemonin your pokedex, do a search through this guide and you will probably finditas I usually write out the full name of the pokemon when it is your firstencounter with it.

Recommendations: These are my recommendations for pokes you can use. Ofcourse,you should pick whatever you want as there are tons of choices but here isa

very small list for someone who has no idea what are good pokes. These aregood for IN-GAME battling and may or may not be good outside of that.

Starly, Gyarados, Shinx, Abra, Bronzor, Ponyta, Gastly, Machop, Geodude,Budew.

I named these because they are easy to get and still good. Mix and matchfortypes.

Diamond Version Exclusives: Dialga, Stunky, Honchkrow, CranidosPearl Version Exclusives: Glameow, Palkia, Shieldon, Misdreavus

These are pokedex exclusives and not national dex exclusives. The

evolutionsof these pokes are also exclusive to each version. National exclusives willbediscussed later in the guide.

Shiny Pokemon: Shiny pokemon are different colored pokemon than the normal.Shiny pokemon are super rare (1/8192 chance of seeing one) and you shouldneverpass up on one. If you see it, be sure to capture it. Even if it is one youdont wan't, you can trade it for one you do. Beware o f Shiny pokemon on GTSasthey are probably hacked. It is very easy to tell a shiny pokemon becauseithas stars around it when it is sent out. Examples include a red Gyaradosand ablack Charizard.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Adventure

We start our adventure in Twinleaf Town. I am not going to tell you how togetthrough the games first start up as if you are reading this FAQ, youprobablyhave already done it. I am also not going to try and guess at names you may

Finally, a badge city. However, the gym leader is not around. He is in themines and you will have to go get him out. The first house in town has aduskball on the second floor. The 2nd house offers an Abra for a Machop whichis agreat way to get an A bra that will grow fast. Upstairs is a man looking toseea Zubat. You will get a TM if you bring him one. Enter the pokemon centerandgo down the stairs. Wi -fi is now open to you. The house below the miningmuseumhas a great ball.

This gym is all geodude and o nix. Make sure you have a poke that can handlethese two (water/grass is best). The leader has a lvl 12 of each and a lvl14Cranidos who is very tough. It's huge attack stat will knock most of your

pokes out with one hit. If you have trouble, raise your levels. Winningnetsyou a TM that is very similar to spikes but for a rock pokemon and yourfirstbadge!!


NOTE: The GTS is now open in Jubilife which enables you to trade pokemononlinewithout knowing friend codes. If you get a pokemon that is a much higherlevelthan the pokes you are using, it probably will not obey you. Keep that inmind.

-----------------------2.0.0 - Forest Badge-----------------------

Now the quest for the 2nd badge begins. If you go north of Oreburgh, youcancatch a Machop on Route 207. You can't do anything else until you have thebikeso you need to go back through the tunnel to Jubilife. Once you reachJubilife,


9/69

head north for a double battle. After the battle, you will get the FashionCase. You can now buy dress -up items to use on your pokemon inside the tvstation, pointless IMO. The grunts showed some more pokes so that is nice.Enter the TV station before going on Route 204.

-----------------------TV Station-----------------------

On the first floor, talk to the Pikachu. It will battle you and will beaddedto your Dex. The girl at the counter does a lottery. Bring all tradedpokemonhere and draw a number. If it matches, you can get a good item like amasterball. There is a turtwig mask on the second floor if you want it. Leave.Talkto the president of the poketch company. He is by the counter on the firstfloor of the poketch building. You get the app Memo Pad. Leave.

North to Route 209.


-----------------------Ravaged Path-----------------------

You can now get through the cave with rock smash. Inside the cave, leftgetsyou an item but dead ends and right exits the cave. Once outside, keeptrekkingnorth. The first trainer shows Cherub i. The double battle up ahead showsPachirisu. Return here with cut to get TM78. No new pokes in the grass,TM09 ison the west side of this route. Floaroma town is just ahead.


-----------------------2.0.1 - Floaroma Town-----------------------

Flowers, flowers, flowers. The flower shop has the watering can and someberries. There is TM88 in the house next to the flower shop. Nothing elsetosee here, make your way east (Route 205).

The bridge is impassable so keep goin g east. The grunt guarding thebuildinghas a lvl11 Glameow which is new to the dex. Fight the goon and he willlockhimself inside the Windworks. He will also tell you about the goons inFloaroma town so you need to go back there. The grass has some new pokes,Pachirisu, Shellos and Buizel.

Once you are back in Floaroma, move to the top left corner of the town andthegoons will be gone. Now there is a secret entrance. Defeat the goons insidethe


10/69

garden to get the key from the old man. Grunt 1 will show a Silcoon. Afterthebattle,the old man will give you some honey that can be put on the orange /brown trees. See the Appendix to find out which pokemon can only be caughtthisway. Once again, back to the Valley Windworks. Leave the garden with key inhand and take Route 205 east. Open the door the grunt hid behind earlier.

Inside, be ready for battle. The grunts will be easy but the boss is alittletough. The first grunt you encounter has a lvl11 Cascoon for the dex. Thebossis one of Team Galacti cs commanders. She has a lvl 14 Zubat and a lvl 16Purugly. I ended up beating Purugly with a lvl 10 onix but I losteverythingelse. Use potions and defeat her.

Once she is defeated, you can cross the bridge from earlier. The papa andthelittle girl will tell you about a special balloon poke but you cannot getthat

one yet so ignore it for now. Heal in Floaroma and cross the bridge.


-----------------------Route 205-----------------------

The first trainer over the bridge has a lvl14 Ponyta. There are no newpokes inthe grass. There are some items here along the route but nothing fancy.Thereis a house near the end of the route that will heal your pokemon. Just westof

the house is a trainer that has Piplup which may or m ay not help with yourdex.Do not worry if it doesn't. The rest of the trainers can be skipped if youdonot want the XP.


-----------------------2.0.2 - Eterna Forest-----------------------

When you enter the forest, you get approached by someone looking for helpwithgetting out. She will follow you and fight alongside you during your trek.Onereally cool thing about her following you is that after every battle, yourpokemon are fully healed. The forest isn't hard to get thr ough, just keepfighting trainers and you know you are going the right way. There are someitems in the grass and also some new pokes. Going through the grass withyournew friend nets two pokemon per battle as well.

The first double battle shows Beau tifly and Silcoon to your pokedex. Thethird


11/69

FAST ROUTE:1) East, north, double battle, follow route to double battle.2) South, east, double battle, east, north, double battle , north, east into

Misdreavus and Murkrow can be hard to find so if you do n't, you will get toseethem later in the game. Exit the forest and cross the bridge, fight thefisherman to get some lousy XP because they mostly have magikarps. Fromleft toright, the 1st fisherman doesn't battle, the 2nd one has a goldeen for thedex,the 3rd fisherman has only Magikarp so skip him entirely and the lastfisherman

also has a goldeen with a bunch of Magikarp.

Keep going east and you will enter Eterna City.


-----------------------2.0.3 - Eterna City-----------------------

Talk to everyone in the town and you should net a TM from an old lady, anexplorer kit and HM Cut. If you head south right away there is aprofessor'said that will give you EXP share. The condos have an in -game trade, Buizel

fora Chatot. They also have the name rater who lets you nickname your pokemon.Youcannot change the name of traded pokemon however. The old lady with TM67 isonthe 2nd floor here.

The explorer kit can be found in the house next to the pokemon center. Tal ktothe old man and he will give you the kit and also some tests he wants youtocomplete so you can learn how to use the kit. See the Appendix for pokemonthatcan be caught this way and what you can do underground. You get HM cut whenyoutake the northern route in the city. There is a poketch app inside thepokemoncenter, talk to the girl near the counter to get it.

The second badge is here and you do not need to do anything special to getit.Just go to the gym and fight for it. The gym in town is a grass gym so youwillneed a flying or fire move for it. There are a couple new pokemon availableto


12/69

see in the gym.

When you get to the gym, the leader will be waiting for you. She will hidehertrainers inside the gym and you will need to find them a nd defeat them tobeable to battle her. Enter the main room after she goes in and startsearching.Go north 90% of the way then head west. The first trainer is here. Followthepath west, then south and you will find the second trainer after the 2rocks.Go back to the door and you can see three small trees in the top right ofyourscreen, behind them is a trainer. To get to the last one, go back to thedoorand follow the first path east and then north. The trainer is in the areawiththe four flowers.

Now you can fight the gym leader. Her highest level poke is a lvl 22Roserade.

I demolished all her pokes and everyone in the gym with a lvl19 Staravia.Solong as you have a super effective move for this gym, you should breezethroughit.


After you defeat the gym leader, you have a couple options. From here, youcanhead east to route 211 where there is some tall grass and a cave. This wayhasPonyta, Chingling and Meditite in the grass. Inside the cave there isCleffa

but the cave dead ends until later in the game. If you can't find ponyta,giveup until later one where it will be a lot more common. The two trainers youcanfight along the way have nothing new.

Pokedex seen count: 39 (not counting ponyta or cleffa)

In the northern part of town, there are some grass trees that you can cutdown.Cut them and enter the building. This is the galactic grunts building andyouneed to go through it in order to get the bike. You can avoid most of thetrainers in here or talk to th e people on the computers to get more XP. Thehardest poke in here is a lvl 20 Skuntank with most of the pokes averaginglvl15 and they are mostly bugs. You get two new pokemon for the pokedex evenifyou skip the trainers on the computers.


Once you defeat all the trainers, the bike shop owner is released and youcan


13/69

enter the bike shop and get a bike. The bike shop is located just south ofthepokemon center. You get a bike that is the mach bike and acro bike mixedtogether. You change between bikes by pressing the B button. Go back towhereyou got the exp share and now you can get past the guards as you have abike.

-----------------------Cycling Road-----------------------

There are some trainers along here you can fight for some more XP. Thefirsttrainer you can battle has a Staravia for the pokedex. The third trainerhas aPonyta if you didn't catch one earlier. You will be able to catch one soon.Therest can be skipped if you so choose. At the end of cycling road is a girlwhowill give you an accessory. Exit cycling road and you are at Route 206, upthe

ledge that we couldn't go up earlier. There are two small trees that youcancut here. Cut them to gain access to some new pokemon. On route 206, youcanfind Bronzor, Stunky(D), Kricketune and Ponyta. This Ponyta is a lot moreabundant than the one earlier.


-----------------------3.0.1 - Cave of Doubt-----------------------

There is a cave at the end of Route 206 called the Cave of Doubt. You can

usethe TM flash to light up the cave but Bidoof cannot learn it. If you do notwant to use your TM(and who would), I have the way to go here as it isquite amaze. Enter the cave and follow these directions: SMR stands for Smash theRock

When you get to north or south

intersection, go North. You will get Mira who heals your poke s afterbattles

South from Mira goes to two trainers. Pokemon encounters now show twopokes9) Leave with Mira. Follow directions backwards. You can go back and fightthe

trainers now as they will be easier with healing afterwards.


14/69

I honestly do not know what saving Mira does for the main game. Since Idon't,I am not going to count the above section in the Pokedex seen count.

-----------------------Route 207-----------------------

Thank god that is over, head back to where you cut the trees a nd go down.Youare on Route 207. You can now go down the ledge and back up so long as yourbike is set to fast. Down the ledge is a town so you can heal your pokes.Youshould be OK though since you had Mira. On your way to the town, yourfriendwill stop you and ask you to pick a hand. It does not matter which hand youpick because you get the same item anyway, the VS SEEKER and a poketch app.You want to go East on Route 207 when you are ready. Some trainers anditemsthroughout here or you can just skip a lot of the trainers and go to thecave.

The hiker before the cave has a Bronzor if you didn't see one earlier. Thecaveis very short and requires no HMs. Go through the cave.

Same situation as before. You can fight everyone and get items or runthroughthis part. After the grass is the berry masters house. He will give you aberry everyday. The little girl gives you a poketch app so get that fromher.The girl trainer before the house has a Combee for the pokedex. The fellowsouth of the house has a Mime Jr and a Bonsly. There is a Karate guy southofthe house that will give you the Odd Keystone that you need to capture thepokemon Spiritomb. East arrives in Hearthome City.


____________________________________________________OPTIONAL FOR NOW

-----------------------Old Chateau-----------------------

Now that you have done cycling road and have the ability to use cut, youcanreturn to the forest and cut down the trees near the exit. There is an OldChateau here. Now is y our chance to get a Gastly. Inside here lies TM90 andsome items. It is not worth checking this place out unless you really wantaGastly or TM90.____________________________________________________

-----------------------3.0.2 - Hearthome City-----------------------

Do like you always do when you enter a town. Talk to everyone and getstuff.


15/69

The Shell Bell is available on the second floor of the house right next totheFan Club. The Poffin Case is given to you by the Fan Club president. Youneedthis to evolve a pokemon like Feebas. The hiker in the Southeat corner oftownhas an egg for you. To hatch an egg, carry the egg with you and walk acertainamount of steps with the egg. It will hatch when you reach the right amountofsteps. It is usually somewhere between 3,000 and 7,000 steps and depends onthepokemon.

Ensure your pokemon are healed because you are going to have to battle yourRIVAL in the town. After you battle, the Southeast exit opens up. There isnogym battle here but you c an talk to the gym leader outside the contesthall.You need to do this in order to get your RIVAL to battle you. Enter thecontesthall after the gym leader moves and talk to your mom. You can leave now and

youwill be able to battle.

In the Northeast and Northwest corner of the city is a cute pokemon strollarea. Only certain pokemon are permitted here and it has some TMs and otheruseful items in it. The Southeast corner exit leads to Route 209 and youcanget a Good Rod from the fisherman here. The Southwest exit is still blockedbythe TV reporter. Go to Route 209. Your RIVAL has evolved his starter andyoushould have evolved yours by now as well.


-----------------------Route 209-----------------------

More same old pokemon formula here. Walk through the route collecting itemsandbattling trainers. The Pikachu is actually a trainer you can battle. Thefirsttrainer you encounter has a Pichu for the pokedex. You can now fish fo rbetterfish with the Good Rod here. Place the Odd Keystone inside the large rockandit turns into the Hallowed Tower. This serves no purpose until you havetalkedto 32 people in the underground, more on that later. The girl trainer westofthe Tower has a Cleffa if you missed it earlier. Route 209 leads toSolaceonTown and the Lost Tower.

NEW pokemon round up: Chansey, Mime JR, Bibarel, Good Rod pokes

-----------------------The Lost Tower-----------------------

The Lost Tower is a tower of pokemon graves. You can be attacked whilewalkingaround the tower. There are some more trainers and items scattered here.Thefirst trainer has a Stunky(D) which is good for Pearl players. There aresomeGastly here if you didn't go back to Old chateau. On the third floor, thereisa double battle you can skip, don't. The trainers have Misdreavus andMurkow sothat is good for both Diamond and Pearl players. You get the cleanse tagand HMStrength at the top of the tower. Leave.


-----------------------3.0.3 - Solaceon Town

-----------------------

To the Pokemon Center to heal. Everyone around town is wearing a hat. Talktoeveryone in town to get some new items. The first co wboy you see gives youapoketch app. The furthest house east has the seal case for you. If youbringthe newspaper guy what he wants, he will give you an item. Nothingspectacular.

We have finally reached the Day Care! You can breed two pokemon by putti ngamale and female from the same egg group into the day care. Once you have

puttwo pokemon in the day care, the man inside will give you a poketch app.Theday care is also good for raising pokemon you don't want to battle with.Everystep you take is 1 XP for a day care pokemon. Talk to the day care manoutsidewhen you have two pokemon in the day care to see how long an egg will taketoarrive. If the old man says, "The two prefer to play with other pokemon"thenyou will never get an egg. No gym here, darn.

-----------------------Solaceon Ruins-----------------------

Located in the east side of town in a cave. The ruins has Unown andtrainers.Press A on the rocks to get items. It doesn't work for all of the rocksthough.There is only one right way to go through the ruins. When you first entertheruins, there is text on the wall and it is directions on how to get tothrough


17/69

the maze.

"Top Right, Lower Left, Top Right, Top left, Top Left, Lower Left."

When you get to the room with the 4 pokeba lls, there is text on the wall.It iswritten in Unown and it possibly says:

"Friendship all lives touch other lives to create something anew andalive."Leave the ruins once you have everything. Go north of town to Route 210.

Unown are all different letters but only count as 1 entry in the pokedex.


-----------------------Route 210-----------------------

The first trainer in the tall grass has an Aipom and a Girafarig for thedex.

You get TM51 along the way here but you have to talk a the girl on therightside of the route to get it. The second double battle has a Clefairy forthepokedex. The trainer north of the second double battle has a Happiny so ifyoudont want to hatch the egg from the hiker, battle him or the girl a t theend ofthe tall grass.

As you travel, you will find the Milk store and lots of people inside. Ifyoutalk to them, most of them will engage in battle. You can battle the twotrainers at the same table for Sudowoodo and Mr. Mime. You cannot get past

thePsyducks right now so go east to Route 215.


-----------------------Route 215-----------------------

More trainers and more pokes. You can catch a Kadabra in the grass. Keepgoingand you will reach Veilstone City. The first trainer battle has a Shieldonwhich we haven't seen yet. TM66 is available from a Karate guy. The 2ndKarateguy has a Croagunk and the third one is right next to a Fist Plate but hasnonew pokemon. TM43 is available by way of cut along the route. The dou blebattleat the end of the route has a Monferno so that may or may not help you buttheGyarados should.


-----------------------


18/69

3.0.4 - Veilstone City-----------------------

Enter town, walk around, talk to everyone. Dawn is o utside the gym as wellasan old man who will give you TM63. There is a house with a girl whomassagesyour pokemon once a day and gives you an accessory afterwards. Next to heris a house with a jester in it. Just keep picking the same hand over andoverand eventually you will win. You get a coin case. You can get the coinsfromthe Game Corner now and exchange them for FABULOUS PRIZES!!! WOOOT!

Ultra Balls and Great balls are finally available at the Department StoreFirstFloor. There is also a new Po ketch app in here and lots of TMs for sale.TheSticky Barb hold item is located on the roof. The app is on the secondfloorand you have to talk to the girl behind the counter to get it.

Now we can get another badge. The gym is not too hard. Machokes andMedititesat lvl 25 and 26 until you get to the gym leader, Flying/Psychic is best.Thiswas another gym where I could own with Staravia. The gym leader has a lvl30Lucario that is fighting/steel so psychic will do normal damage. You gettheability to use HM fly outside which is good because it is in the galacticwarehouse. If you get stuck, try to line up all the gaps in the boards withthestairs. Walk outside of the gym to have Dawn ask you for help. Defeat thethugs, enter the warehouse and Fly is in plain sight.

Fly to Hearthome and you can now leave through the Southwest exit of thetown.When you exit, you will be on Route 212.


-----------------------Route 212-----------------------

This route has a honey tree you can smear which is good since it is socloseto town. There are also some police patrolling here. TM11 is here butrequirescut, some other items as well that require surf. There is the PokemonMansionhere as well.

The first double battle has a Chatot you want to see for the pokedex. Youcanacquire one by utilizing the in -game trade mentioned earlier in the guide.Thedouble battle before the Pokemon Mansion has a Buneary.



19/69

--------------------- --Pokemon Mansion-----------------------

If you enter the mansion and go left, there is a Great Ball, Soothe Belland aBurn heal in the trash can. If you go right, TM Swagger is in the office.Goto the garden to catch some new pokes. Roselia and Pikac hu are availablehereas well as Pichu.

After you are done, back to Route 212.

-----------------------Route 212-----------------------

Head south out of the Mansion through the grass. No new pokes here butthereare Wooper in the rainy grass coming up . There are some trainers along here

that average lvl20. There is a girl in a house here who will trade shardsforTMs. You can get shards in the underground. The first double battle in therainy area has a Prinplup which, again, may or may not help you. It helpedmeso I am going to include it in the count. You will catch up soon if itdidn'thelp you.

The first fisherman has Barboach, the 2nd one has nothing new and the thirdfisherman has a Gyarados. The bog here is kind of a pain. You cannot useyourbike on the bog. When you fall into the bog, just keep trying to move andeventually you will. At the end of the bog is TM06 so you want to be sure

toget that. You can skip the bike path if you want. There are two trainersand azinc at the end of it. Rou te 212 leads to Pastoria City.


-----------------------4.0.0 - Pastoria City-----------------------

The first house is a berry lady house who will give you a berry everyday.Thepokemon move tutor is here as well as the Safari Zo ne. The move tutor isveryhelpful if you transfer a lot of pokes from pal park or if you want to getamove back that you deleted. The move tutor will ask for a heart scale andyoucan get them in the underground. The gym in town is all water pokemon withhardly any barboach so you can do just fine with electric type attacks. Thehighest level pokemon in here is a lvl 30 Floatzel. You gain the Fen badgeandthe ability to use the HM you get in the Safari Zone outside.


20/69

-----------------------Safari Zone-----------------------

The first guy on the right when you enter the Safari Zone gives you HM05.TheSafari Zone has two new pokes and the best way to get them, is to use thebinoculars on the 2nd floor to see where they are. Go to the area that theyshow up in and stand in the grass. Move the character around but don'tactuallytake a step. You will get encounters without increasing your step count. Solong as you do not run out of balls you can stay forever. I am not going tocount the Safari Zone in the seen count.

-----------------------Pastoria City-----------------------

You should always battle all the trainers in a gym because they show younewpokemon and give you more XP. After you beat the gym, talk to the Grunt inthe

northern most part of town. He will run off and he tells you not to followhim,you should. Your rival will show up when you try to follow the grunt so beready for a battle. The gym had Azurill, M arill, Wingull and Floatzel.

Pokedex seen count: 76 (Halfway there!)

-----------------------5.0.0 - Route 213-----------------------

Follow the route fighting trainers. Everytime you see the grunt, talk tohimand make him run off again. Floatzel and Wingull are new pokes in the

grass.There is a man on the route who will give you a footprint ribbon for yourlead pokemon. The first fisherman has a Remoraid and the second one doesn'tbattle.


-----------------------Hotel-----------------------

The hotel area has a lot of trainers you can battle, mostly in therestaurant.Lots of double battles in here and you get a lot of money afterwards. Thepokesaverage lvl 20-23. The hotel clerk at the front desk will heal your pokesforyou. There is a TM available on the hotel property as well. You will findthegrunt here and he will finally battle you. He has a lvl 25 Glameow. Followhimagain and Cynthia will meet you and give you a potion to remove thepsyducksfrom Route 210. Continue heading north on Route 214 and take the easternpath.


21/69

There is a girl trainer along the way who has a Haunter. The girl rightafterher, has a Wormadon.

You can keep heading North to find a cave on the east path that has a manasking you to catch Unowns. If you catch all 26 types of Unowns, one foreachletter of the alphabet, the ruin maniac finishes the cave. The cave thenleadsto another area that has two more unowns. The two extra unowns are thequestionmark and the exclamation point. If you keep walking around the cave, youwilleventually get attacked by a rare Hippopotas. In 25 attacks, I got 24geodudesand 1 hippo. I have been told the more unowns you catch, the higher theencounter rate for Hippopotas. Eventually, you will end up in VeilstoneCity.If you do not care about catching Hippopotas, fly to Solaceon right away.Ifyou go to Veilstone, take Route 215 West to the Psyducks.

New Poke Round-Up: Hippopotas, Graveler

Pokedex seen count: 79 (not counting Hippopotas and Graveler )

-----------------------5.0.1 - Route 210-----------------------

Once you reach the Psyduck, heal them with the secret potion. Afterwards,Cynthia will show and ask you to deliver an Old Charm to someone inCelesticTown. As you travel along the route , a thick fog will show up blocking yourview. Use HM05 Defog to remove the fog. There are some lvl25 -27 trainershere.

Follow route 210 until you reach Celestic Town.

There are three ninja trainers hidden in the tall grass. The one hidden ontheeast side of the tall grass has a Skorupi. The rest have pokemon we havealready seen. The ninja boy above the karate man after you use Defog has aGolbat. There is a girl trainer along the route that has a Grotle. Keepfollowing the path and you will keep gett ing in battles. You see Mothim,Luxioand Raichu before you end up at a bike path. The bike path leads to TM30and atrainer.

After you get the TM, head back onto the normal route. After the karateguy,you can go right for a battle and an item or left. T he item is the SmokeBalland it lets you run from any wild encounter. East dead ends so turn aroundandhead west. The first trainer this way has a Hoothoot and its evolved form,Noctowl. That is two more for the pokedex. Take the bridge and you will bestopped by an old man for a battle. He has nothing new but you cannot avoidthebattle. Celestic town is just ahead.


22/69


-----------------------5.0.2 - Celestic Town-----------------------

You can net a poketch app and a great ball by talking to the residents ofthistown. The Great Ball is in the pokemon center and the app is in the houseinthe southwest corner of town.

A galactic grunt is blocking the cave and he needs to be disposed of. Hehas a lvl25 beautifly and a lvl27 Croagunk. After you defeat him, the oldwoman will come up to you and thank you. Enter the cave and press A on thepictures of the pokemon on the wall. The old woman will enter again andgiveyou HM03 Surf.

Now the gym in Hearthome is open! You can fly there now or you can go westtoRoute 211 and get a TM and fight some trainers for XP. No new pokes that

waythough. The TM is Psych Up.

-----------------------5.0.3 - Hearthome Revisited-----------------------

The gym here is all Ghost which means a dark pokemon will own it. Thepuzzlesare ridiculously easy but you should go in the wrong doors on purpose togetmore battles in before the leader. A lot of the trainers in here haveDrifloonwho does a lot of damage to y ou after a physical attack is done to it. Be

sureto fight the girl on the 2nd floor, far right door before you go straighttothe gym leader.

The boss has:Lvl 32 DrifblimLvl 36 MismagiusLvl 34 Gengar

You get TM65, a new badge and the ability to use Surf outside. This opensup alot of pathways that you could not utilize before. You should take sometimeand travel to these places:

Route 209 has TM19Route 204 and the cave here


-----------------------6.0.0 - Canalave City-----------------------


23/69

Fly to Jubilife City and head west. You can surf near the fisherman thatgaveyou the old rod. Keep heading west and there are 2 fisherman here you canbattle. There is a lot of new pokemon this way. The sailor when you reachlandhas a Mantyke. The grass along the way has Gastrodons, Mr. Mimes andGlameows(P) in it and when you are surfing, you will be attacked by Pelipper. Whenyouarrive at the city entrance, you will get a new app for your poketch.

The move deleter is here as well as TM48. Be ready for a battle so straighttothe pokemon center as your RIVAL will catch up to you soon enough. YourRIVAL'steam is up in the lower 30s now and his main pokemon is at lvl35. Cross thebridge to have your RIVAL challenge you. Your RIVAL has a lvl30 Heracrosswhichis new and it has a high attack stat.

Pokedex seen count: 93 (not counting Mr. Mime)

After the battle, head south once you cross the bridge and there is asailornear a boat. You can take this boat to IRON ISLAND. For n ow, surf south onthewater and you will find TM89. Take the boat to IRON ISLAND for a rarepokemon.

-----------------------IRON ISLAND-----------------------

Iron Island is the home of a very rare pokemon. You get the pokemon in eggformso you are going to need an empty spot in your party. No HMs are needed so

that opens up your HM slave spot. Exit the boat and go up the stairs intothecave.

Steelix and Golbat are new here. You can get some good XP inside the cave.Youwill be attacked by a lot o f Graveler and that is new to the pokedex. Iceandwater attacks will help throughout the cave. There are quite a few trainersanditems here.

Fast Route:1) Go down the east set of stairs.2) Up stairs, east, down stairs, south, up east set of stairs, downelevator.3) Go down west set of stairs, get partner.4) Take first path south, fight trainers, south, stay on path, up stairs,south

fight trainers, down stairs, up stairs, down elevator.5) This gets you the Riolu egg. Go through cave door, up el evator, outcave.

Cherrim is found in step 2 in a trainer battle. Medicham is found in step4.


24/69

You should see Steelix at some point throughout the cave as well. If youmissSteelix, it will be in the gym so do not worry about it.

Riolu turns into the pok emon your partner was using in the cave.


-----------------------Canalave Gym-----------------------

This gym is mostly steel and rock pokemon. Surf takes care of a lot of theenemies so you should probably have a poke that can do it well. One of thetrainers before the boss has a Azuremarill

The boss has alvl39 Bastiodon. The Bastiodon can be a pain but luckily for me, it did notuseRest. It may use it against you so be ready for it. It is a rock/steelpokemonso ground moves will really hurt it. Winning nets you the Mind badge and

theability to use Strength outside.

Strength will let you move the gray boulders around. Evolve your bidoof tobeable to teach it Strength if you have been using one. Now you wa nt to hitthecaves. There is a cave near Oreburgh that will give you a TM and a cavenearCelestic Town.

After you have beaten the gym, your RIVAL will talk to you again. Go insidethelibrary and meet him on the 3rd floor. The library is in the northw est

cornerof the city. Your mission if you choose to accept it, is to go to ValorLakefront and enter where the two guards would not let you pass before.


-----------------------6.0.0 - Valor Lakefront-----------------------

Walk through the magikarps fighting trainers until you get to the cave.Enterthe cave and be ready for a battle. The highest lvl poke in here is a lvl37Toxicroak. It is fighting so flying works well. Afer you defeat him, fly toTwinleaf town.


-----------------------Twinleaf Town-----------------------

Go north and then west to where you first got your pokemon. The lake is nowfilled with grunts so take them out. Another battle with Mars awaits andshe


25/69

still has her Purugly. The double battles before show no new pokemon. Onelakeleft, fly to Celestic Town.

-----------------------6.0.1 - Celestic Cave-----------------------

Head West of Celestic Town and enter the cave. Part of the cave is foggybutyou do not need fog cle ar unless you want to get Light Clay. Otherwise,yournew HM and rock smash should do just fine. Enter the cave and start headingnorth. you need to move the boulder. Follow the path north and then west.

The fog room is coming up and you can use fog clear or you can make yourwaythrough the fog without it. Run from the battles as you will have a lotloweraccuracy with the fog. Stay to the left if you just want to run through thearea. Take the stairs and you will be in the room with the exit, noobstacles

here. Exit the cave.

NEW poke round-up: Clefairy

-----------------------Route 216-----------------------

Snowing here turns into hail in your battles. I didn't have an ICE pokemonsothis was frustrating. If you take the high road, a girl trainer along thewayhas a Lopunny. The low road has an Ambipom and grass with new pokes. Followthe

path until you get to a house and fight all the trainers. Each of thetrainerswill show you a new pokemon. You can heal your pokes inside the house bytakinga nap in the bed. After the house, go North to Route 217. The first girl inthegrass after the house has a Mr. Mime if you missed it earlier.


-----------------------Route 217-----------------------

The snow really starts coming d own here. You fall down into heavy snow andbarely move but just keep trudging along. The first trainer you battle hasaHippopotas which is good if you didn't search the cave for it.

Stay close to the west wall untilyou get to a house. Grab the pokeball behind the house and it is HM06.Enterthe house and talk to the Hiker to get an item. Back outside, The northeastcorner of the route has some grass and another house. The spell tag isinside


26/69

that house and in the grass are Snover, Sneasel and Me dicham. The exit totheroute is north of the Hiker's house. There is a trainer battle you can'tavoidand he has a Seaking.


-----------------------6.0.1 - Snowpoint City-----------------------

You first come across Acuity Lake front but the Galactic Grunts are keepingyouout. Head east from here through the grass. You will end up in SnowpointCity.This city is pretty much just a gym city. Walk around and talk to everyoneandthen take on the gym. You may get stuck in the gym for a few minutes.

The gym has snowballs inside. You can slam into the snowballs and breakthem.

However, if you touch stairs while you are heading towards the snowball,youwill slow down too much to b reak the snowball. This is very similar to theZelda ice puzzles in Twilight Princess except instead of pushing blocks,youare using youself. You need to break all the snowballs in the very middleandand the ones that are blocking the stairs to the gym l eader. If you see asnowball can only be hit from the east or west and the east path hasstairs,then you know you HAVE to hit it from the west.

The leader has pokes ranging from lvl38 -42. The Abomasnow is new and istough.

Steel and Fire will do best in this gym and the leader is no exception. Winandget the ability to use Rock Climb outside of battle and TM72. If you foughtallthe trainers before the gym leader you got Tentacruel, if not, it will showupagain later.

Rock Climb is useful, like surf , in getting places you couldn't before. Iamsure you have seen the parts around Sinnoh that can be scaled. You canchooseto go scale these places and gain items and TMs or you can continue theadventure.


-----------------------Acuity Lakefront-----------------------

Now that the gym is beaten, you can enter the lakefront, do that. Nobattleshere just more story. They tell you not to go to galactic HQ but that isexactly where we are going. Fly to Veilstone.


27/69

-----------------------7.0.0 - Galactic End-----------------------

Go to HQ and not the warehouse, outside of HQ, there is a grunt you cantalk towho will run off and leave a key. Pick up the key and head to thewarehouse.You can open the first door in the warehouse but they key will break insidethe lock. Better find another key then...

-----------------------7.0.1 - Galactic Warehouse-----------------------

Not a very difficult area to scale, there is a bed inside the warehouse youcanuse to heal your pokes. Y ou are looking for the galactic key inside thewarehouse. Once you find the key, you can now get more access inside HQ.Whenyou go down the stairs, you can go North or East. North leads to the door

weneed the key for so go East. Keep following East and there will be a coupletrainer battles and you will have to go up two sets of stairs. Eventuallyyoureach two warp panels.

The east panel leads to a TM so take that one real quick. Then go backthroughand take the west warp panel. Follow the path and you end up in a room withaset of stairs in the east and a warp panel in the western part of the room.Thetrainer in this room has 3 bug pokemon. Take the warp and follow it and youwill have to fight a scientist. This way leads to the key. Once you have

thekey, go back to the room you took the warp previously and take the stairsthistime if you want TM21. If you do not want the TM, then just leave thewarehouseand go next door to HQ.

-----------------------7.0.2 - Galactic HQ-----------------------

The goal here is to get to the end and fight the boss. It is prettystraightforward. You can go slightly off the beaten path for items but you do notgetfar. At the end, you fight the galactic boss and get a masterball. The bosshas 2 pokes weak to el ectric and 1 Sneasel which is dark/ice. They arebetweenlvl40 and lvl43. Once you beat him, he tells you to go east. You will endupin another room now. There is another battle up ahead but it is easier thantheone you just had.


28/69

The Galactic Admin ha s a Kadabra, Bronzor and Toxicroak. They are lvl38 and40.Once you defeat her, she will move out of the way and you can press the redbutton. This lets three legendary pokemon free.

-----------------------7.0.3 - Mt. Coronet-----------------------

To get to Mt. Coronet, you are going to need your HM slave with strength.Flyto Hearthome city and head west, Route 208. Enter the cave and once inside,youwill need to go north. At the very top of Mt. Coronet is Dialga so be readyfora legendary battle. Bring about 30 Ultra Balls,4 Quick Balls and 6 Timerballs.Dialga will be lvl47 and is a steel/dragon type. If you are playing Pearl,youwill not get Dialga but instead will see Palkia. Palkia is a lvl47 water /dragon type.

When you first enter the c ave, you need to head west to the opposite side.Onceyou reach the west entrance, head north and surf across the pond. Use rockclimb to reach the stairs up. You should seen Bronzong somewhere along theway.It is the evolved form of Bronzor and is new to the pokedex. In the nextroom:

North, West, South, Upstairs, North, West over bridge, down stairs, upnorthstairs,up stairs, cross bridge, down stairs, down stairs, upstairs and incavedoor.

Next room: Up stairs, up stairsNext room: up stairs, train er battle, west, south, trainer battle, Out.

Now you are outside. Follow the path and use rock climb when you get there.Nowinstead of using rock climb again, head west and through the grass untilyoureach another cave. Inside, use rock climb, follow the path, down thestairsthen east out of the cave.

Outside again. Through the grass, down the stairs, rock climb west. Downthestairs, through the grass, keep going west and you find another cave.Enter.There is only one way to go through here so keep following the path,eventuallyyou emerge at the very top. Inside the cave, there is also Chimecho.


-----------------------Spear Pillar-----------------------


29/69

Ok, 2 galactic battles and 1 legendary pokemon coming up. You c an't avoidthedouble battle so you need to try and reach the boss. They will converge onyoubut your RIVAL will show up and help. The big boys here are Purugly lvl 45andSkuntank lvl46. Once you defeat them, you rival heals your pokes for thebossbattle.

The boss fight is going to go pretty similar to the way it was last time.Hehas upped his levels some and has a new Gyarados. Whatever worked last timeisstill going to work this time so as long as you gained some levels, youshouldbe fine. He has some evolved pokemon you haven't seen before so that willhelpout with the pokedex. Defeat him and get access to Dialga / Palkia. SAVE!!Youonly get one chance at legendaries so if you knock them out, you will neverbe

able to catch them again.

The best way to catch legendaries is to use a pokemon that has stat uppingmoves and just sit there with it out taking damage. For example, anythingthatis rock/steel and has iron defense would work really well here. Get Dialgainthe red, use potions when you get low, throw lots of pokeballs. Throw the 4quick balls right away and hope for the best, probably not going to workthoughUse Ultra Balls when Dialga gets in the red and make the battle last a longtime. If you go through your ultra balls and you still do not have it, nowyoumove onto your timer balls. If by some miracle you still do not have Dialga

and you are out of timer balls, restart.

Palkia is pretty much the same as Dialga except it is a water type so rockwould be a bad choice to go up agains t it. I would suggest you use a watertype. Palkia does not have have a powerhouse attack like Dialga's Roar ofTime.

After the battle, head north to get a special item for your new legendary.


-----------------------7.0.4 - Legendary Round-Up-----------------------

Three legendary pokemon have been unleashed now that you have helpedDialga. Weneed to go back to all three lakes and at each one is a legendary pokemon.

Lake Valor - AzelfLake Acuity - UxieLake Verity - Mesprit (runs away)

The first two can be battled in the lake. Surf to the cave and battle them.All


30/69

the pokes are lvl 50 and Psychic. Use the same tactic as you did on Dialgaandit should go pretty smoothly. You can use the dusk ball now and it has a 4xcapture rate on pokes in caves. I used Luxray with charge to keep raisingmyspecial D since they are psychic types. When you try and fight Mesprit, itrunsaway and shows up on your poketch marking map. If you do not have this yet,goto Jubilife City and get it from the poketch company. Talk to the presidentnear the front desk to get it. Keep talking to him and you will get twomore ifyou didn't have the marking map. If you want to take a break from trying tocatch the legendaries, you can skip to section 7 .0.5

-----------------------Catching Mesprit-----------------------

Mesprit gets it's own section because it is quite a pain in the butt toget. Itshows up on the map as a flashing symbol but every time you fly to it, it

movessomewhere else. Also, it runs away in battle so you are going to need meanlookor use your masterball. The problem with the masterball is that there isanother pokemon later on that runs away so you might want to use it on thatoneI suggest Crobat with Mean Look to stop it from running away. But first, weneed to encounter it...Here is a trick I figured out that helps battle it.

1) Go to a main city that it goes near (Jubilife works fine).2) Park yourself near the exit of the town and look in the top left cornerof

your screen.3) Walk out of the town and when the top left shows the route name, that

makesMesprit change it's location.

4) Walk back into the town and it changes again.5) Keep doing this over and over until Mesprit shows up on the Route youare on

Once it is on your route, search the grass for a battle. It may not be thefirst battle you encounter but it will show up eventually. Good luck!Mespritshows up in your pokedex as seen when it shows you the picture.


-----------------------7.0.5 - Sunyshore City-----------------------

We can get here now. Fly to Veilstone City and head south to the hotel onRoute214. When you reach Valor Lakefront, the path east is now open. East leadstoRoute 222. This is the way to Sunysh ore. Follow the path, battle trainers,getitems and eventually you end up in Sunyshore. The third fisherman has aFinneon and a Feebas so be sure to battle him.


31/69

Enter the town and you get inspiration to battle the gym leader. If you gotothe gym though, it is blocked. You need to go to the lighthouse and talk tothe gym leader and he will return to the gym. Once he returns, you will beable to enter the electric type gym. Do not forget to talk with everyone intown to get items. Note the woman near the s hore because you will need totalkto her again after you defeat the gym.

Hopefully you have some sort of ground/rock pokemon that has ground moves.Ifnot, any ground type move should work. The battles before the boss changeit upas there are some other pokes thrown in that aren't electric including Mr.Mimeand Bibarel (to name a few). The boss has lvl46 -49. He has 2 electrics, 1waterand 1 normal Ambipom. Rock/Ground wins them all except the water pokemon, alvl47 Octillery.

We finally have all 8 ba dges and can gain access to the E4. You need

waterfalland to get it, head to the northeast section of town and talk to the girlonthe beach again. She will give you HM Waterfall now that you have beat thegym.Your starter should have evolved by now so I am adding it to the count. Youshould also consider taking the egg you got from Iron Island with you nowasyou are going to need to hatch it to get the national dex.


-----------------------7.0.6 - Fuego Ironworks

-----------------------

Now is a real good time to visit this place. It is hidden pretty well so togethere, fly to Floaroma town and head east out of town. At the first bridgeyouget to, surf west and follow the water. Eventually you will reach thisarea.You should see a Tentacool on your swim and we needed that for the pokedex.Allthe trainers in here are going to have pokemon about 10 -15 levels lowerthanyours but that is fine because there really is no reason to rush to gethere.This area has a lot of the tiles that move your character along so itreally isjust trial and error to get where you want.

There are two fire stones in here which you may need to evolve one of yourpokemon. The trainer east of the entrance has a Rapidash so you want tofighthim. There is also Rock Incense and TM35. There is nothing else to do heresofly back to Sunyshore City.

search around the cave and find all the items and gain XP for the E4.


-----------------------8.0.2 - Elite Four-----------------------

Dun dun dun! We are here. The final battles to mark you as champion. Thereis apokemon center here as well as a mart. The game gives you tons of moneyespecially if you fought e veryone and reset when you lose. Buy lots ofpotionsand revives. The best items are Full Restore, Hyper Potion and Revive. Ibought30 of each and used just about all of them. My levels were far too low fortheE4 but my dragon dancing gyarados did a number on them. I will recap eachperson so you can be ready for them. Your RIVAL thinks he is better thanyouso he will make you fight him first. Dispose of him. Onto the E4! Remember:Use your potions. You don't need extras after the fights so use them if you

gotthem. Hopefully your Riolu egg hatched by now as you need it for the dex.

Pokedex seen count: 142 (with Riolu egg)

-----------------------E4 Aaron - Bug-----------------------

Aaron is a bug guy so fire/flying works well. They range from lvl 53 to lvl57.Heracross is 4x weak to flying and the only one that isn't weak to flyingisthe LVL57 Drapion. It is dark/poison so psychic will not work out either.

Usefighting/ground against him if you got it .


-----------------------E4 Bertha - Rock/Ground-----------------------

Bertha has pokes between lvl55 and lvl59. All her pokes are weak to watersaveQuagsire. It will double team and use sandstorm. Water will raise it's HPso donot use a water attack against it. She isn't hard at all if you tookPrinplup.


-----------------------E4 Flint - Fire-----------------------

Flint is not all fire and it even has an onix. Water still does well hereagainst 3 of the 5 pokes. They range from lvl57 to lvl61. He isn't hard butbe


34/69

careful of Lopunny as it knows mirror coat. Mirror coat will hurt specialattackers so use physical attacks.

-----------------------E4 Lucian - Psychic-----------------------

Hopefully, you took my hints and have a Gyarados by now but if not, anydarktype will do. All his pokes are psychic so dark hurts them. Bronzong hassteelthough so it will not be super effective. Gyarados will die quick againstMr.Mime if he cannot strik e first as Mime knows thunderbolt. His pokes arelvl59to lvl60. The champion awaits...


-----------------------Champion Battle-----------------------

She has a lvl66 garchomp and all her pokes are lvl60 or greater. Spiritombisprobably new to you and it is like sableye, it has no weakness. Garchompwillfall to ICE (guess who knows ice? Gyarados!). I didn't have much troublewithher, I used Dragon Dance a few times with Gyarados and swept everyone elseinone hit. Milotic will take an electric attack as it regenerates HP and hasagood special D. Do not inflict it with any kind of status problem as it'sability will make it stronger. Grass will work well too against Milotic.

Beat her and get in the record books. You are now the pokemon champion.woot!


-----------------------9.0.0 - Done?-----------------------

Not quite. There is still plenty of pokemon to play. You can try and fillyourdex with captures instead of seen, you still have places yo u haven'texploredand Pal Park will let you bring your pokemon up from older GBA games.Bottomline: If you quit now, you are still missing a lot of the game. So, keep onkeepin' on.

-----------------------9.0.1 - National Dex-----------------------

To get the National Dex, fly to Celestic town and go north in town. Thecenterhouse has an old woman you can talk to and she will show you a picture of


35/69

Palkia or Dialga depending on your version. Once you have the picture, yourdexshould be full of see n pokes. If it isn't, you haven't fought all thetrainersso you will need to either raise the missing pokes, or go find the trainersyoumissed. If you have all 150, go to Sandgem town and talk to the professor.Hewill give you the National Dex.

Pearl Exclusives: Slowpoke, Pinsir,Houndour, Stantler, Spheal, Bagon

Diamond Exclusives: Seel, Scyther, Murkrow. Larvitar, Poochyena, Aaron,Kecleon

Again, all the pokes evolutions are also exclusives to each game.

Another advantage to the National Dex is now you can get swarm pokemon.Everyday there is a new pokemon swarm in Sinnoh. Fly to Sandgem town and talk tothelittle girl watching TV in the house just below the pokemon center. She

willtell you where to go to catch a rare pokemon.

Pokedex seen count: 150!!

-----------------------9.0.2 - Pal Park-----------------------

Pal Park is closed up until you have beaten the Elite Four and have theNational Dex. You can transfer your old pokes from the GBA games to PalPark.To get to Pal Park, fly to your house and surf South. The route turns eastso

follow it until you reach land. Pal Park is at the very end of the route.Thereare trainers along the way so you might have to fight some people.

Pal Park has to be stocked in order for you to catch yo ur old pokes. Youhaveto stock it before you start up your save file. To stock Pal Park, placeyourGBA game in the GBA slot. Any pokemon that you want to transfer will needto bein boxes on your GBA game. Start up diamond and get to the screen where youcanpick New Game or your save file. You will have another option there thatsaysMigrate Pokemon.. You want to pick this option and then use the touchscreen toselect the six pokemon you want to migrate. The pokemon will be moved fromtheGBA game and not cloned.

Now, load up your diamond save and enter Pal Park. You have to catch youroldpokemon again but you get Pal Park balls which never miss. Your old pokeswillbe exactly the same as they were on the GBA game. You may have to re -think


36/69

their movesets now under the new diamond attack scheme. You can take thepokesto the Move Relearner in Pastoria City and he can teach them a move theydidn't learn because they were not leveled up in Diamond. This is veryuseful.

One thing to note about Pal Pa rk is that you can only transfer pokemon fromagame pak once a day. You can transfer pokemon from multiple game paks butstill only once a day per game pak.

-----------------------9.0.3 - Cresselia-----------------------

Fly to Canalave City and head towards the boat that takes you to IronIsland.Enter the house right next to the boat on the west coast and there will beawoman and a sick child. Talk to them both and then go back outside. Talk tothe sailor and he will ask you to save his sick boy. He will take you to anew

island. This island is empty besides the legendary pokemon. It is a quickwalkto it and it will run away just like Mesprit did. Cresselia is a Psychictypepokemon at lvl50. Use the same strategy you did on Mesprit. You will havetouse the marking map again to find it. If you haven't used the masterball,nowis the time.

-----------------------9.0.4 - Island Area-----------------------

This area becomes available after you have beaten the E4. Fly to SnowpointCity and move to the southern port. You can now take the boat to the islandarea. This area has a lot of new pokes that will help fill your nationaldex.It also is the home of legendary pokemon Heatran, a lvl70 monster.

Upon arriving, you will be greeted by your RIVAL. Afer the discussion, movenorth and talk to the fisherman. He will give you the Super Rod. If youkeepgoing north, you will arrive in the battle zone where the battle tower islocated. You can fight in offline mode or wi -fi battle tower here. The Wi -Fitower downloads data and you fight against teams based off of internetteams.The trainer is a cpu however and not a person.

You can move north or east from this area. I went east so I will tell youalsoto go east, Route 230.

-----------------------Route 230 & 229-----------------------


37/69

Route 230 is a surf route so you need a pokemon who has surf. There aresomeswimmer battles along the way and some grass to catch old pokemon in. Youwillneed rock smash to get the item on the grass island. Every trainer in theisland area uses old pokes so it will help you fill your dex if you fightthem.

Keep heading east and you will reach route 229. When you reach land, goeastand then south.

-----------------------Resort Area-----------------------

You can now fly here. There isn't much here but grass and a special areathatyou can only enter once your pokemon has enough ribbons. From here, youwantgo head to the northwest part of town to access Route 228.

-----------------------Route 228-----------------------

All battles here will be in a sandstorm. If you want to rush through therouteignoring items and such, stay off the bike slides. Keep heading north andwhenyou reach a dead end, head west through the grass. Move north and westagain toRoute 226.

-----------------------Route 226

-----------------------

There are two ways to go here. You can surf through the water and there isagentleman in a house who will give you a foreign language poketch app. Itdoesn't really help much unless you want your pokedex in a foreignlanguage.Instead of that, head north and use your bike to jump the two ramps. Jumpdownthe cliff and then head west then north. Then east, up the stairs, use biketocross, through the g rass, east, south then through the grass again. Go upthestairs, up the stairs, through the grass, west, enter Stark Mountain.

-----------------------9.0.5 - Stark Mountain-----------------------

This area has a lot of double battles and you are goin g to need Rock Smash,Strength and Rock Climb to get through it. Quick way through is up ahead...

1) Use rock smash and then Strength. Push the boulder down the stairs2) East, move north and south rock east, push middle block north3) North, up the stai rs, push boulder, down the stairs, up the stairs, east

39/69

Press A on Regigigas and as long as you have the 3 REGIs in your party, thestatue will come alive. Ghost type works really well here. Make sure youhave alot of Dusk and Timer balls.

-----------------------9.0.7 - Giratina-----------------------

A new path has opened up near Veilstone city. You can get their by flyingtoVeilstone and heading south. Stick to the east side while heading south andyouwill see a new opening. This is the spring path. The spring path leads totheSendoff Spring. Walk around the spring until you get to a cave entrance.Youwill need to use Rock Climb to enter Turnback Cave.

The cave is very difficult to navigate through and if you return through adoor

from which you came, you will back at the beginning. I was able to get toGiratina in six rooms but when I tried to duplicate it, it wasn't the rightroute. It seems that the cave is random. You need to get past 3 pillars perthe writings instructions. The first room is easy as you can just turnbackifyou pick a room that does not have a pillar. Also, do not forget that youcanalso go south.

When you do encounter Giratina, it will be lvl70 and is a ghost/dragontype. Anormal pokemon works very well her e as 2 of the 3 attacking moves Giratinahasdo not effect normal types. It will be only using slash on your normal

pokemonso a pokemon with Intimidate is going to work out even moreso. Dusk ballscatchit.

-----------------------9.0.8 - Rotom-----------------------

Rotom is available in the Old Chateau once you beat the elite four. Returntothe chateau and head upstairs. There is a tv in one of the rooms up theresopress A on the tv. You will be attacked by Rotom. Rotom is an electricghostand is at lvl15 so do not bring your legendary capture team. If you do notencounter Rotom on the tv, try again later until you finally do. Keeptrying,it is there. Rotom comes out at night so do not look for him during theday.

-----------------------9.0.9 - Event Pokemon-----------------------


40/69

Manaphy - You need to beat Pokemon Ranger and transfer the Manaphy egg from

Ranger

Arceus - Requires an event

Darkrai - Requires an event

Shaymin - Requires an event

None of the events for the USA have been planned yet. WAIT AND SEE.

FROM STEPHEN E."I was looking at the area near the end and noticed that you had the eventPokemon, and that the events are not in the US. Well, people don't have towaitfor an event. Put this in your FAQ: Go to t he Jubilife TV Station and findareporter. He will then ask what you think of TV or something. Put"EVERYONE HAPPY". Then he will ask for feedback. Put "WI -FI CONNECTION".Thisunlocks the "Mystery Gift" option at the main menu. Save your game and

restartthe DS. Then select "Mystery Gift" on the main menu. You will have 3options:Obtain via Friend, Obtain via Wireless or Obtain via WFC. When you beat theElite 4 and obtain the National Dex, go to the Obtain via WFC. The mysterygiftwill be downloaded from the Nintendo Wi -Fi Connection (Nintendo WFC). Thatisanother way to get the event Pokemon without cheating."

This enables the mystery gift option on startup but you still need to waitforthe event to happen to get the event poke mon. The following sections onlyapply

if you obtained the event via hacking or mystery gift.

-----------------------Darkrai-----------------------

Enter any pokemart to see a man in green standing next to the counter. Talktohim and he will give you the Members Card. Fly to Canalave city and headnorthof the pokemon center. There is a Harbor Inn that you can now enter. Onceinside, you will be put in a bed and taken to an island that just hasDarkraiwaiting. Darkrai is level 40 and you cannot leave the island unless youcaptureor defeat Darkrai so be sure to bring a party that can handle it.

NOTE: You cannot get into the Inn if you have not cured the sick boy withtheLunar Wing. See the Cresselia section of the guide if you have not takencareof the sick boy.

Why goingthrough the cave, you will meet up with Marley and s he will ask to followyouthrough the cave. The cave gets foggy here as well.

There is grass here and some trainers. Make your way north through thegrass.Keep heading north and you will reach a white rock with Oak standing infront

defense.

How can I change IVs? Well, you can't. You cannot change IVs ever(in -game).Youcan affect IVs however. When you breed two pokes, the IVs of the spawn aredirectly affected by the parents. I have crunched a lot of numbers and thisiswhat I have come up with. The IVs of the spawn pokemon is somewhere inbetweenor the same as the IVs of the parents. To clarify, if you breed 2 Kadabrasandone parent Kadabra has a speed IV of 20 and the other has a speed IV of 25,9out of 10 times the spawn will have a speed IV of at least 20. About halfofthe time the IVs will be in between the two and about 1/3 of the time, theIVswill be higher than the two.

You can calculate IVs at any level but it has to be a pokemon that has nothadany battles and it should be at about lvl15 . The best way to do this is to

breed two pokes, save right before you get the egg, get the egg and hatchit.Use rare candies to level it up to about 15, then check IVs. If you getcrap,reset the game and get the egg again. You cannot take the egg and t hen savebecause the pokemon will be the same if you reset.

-----------------------E.0.3 - Moveset Help-----------------------

Ok, so we should already know that we use attacks depending on what type ofpokemon we have. We do not want to use physical attacks with our Kadabrabecause it has a garbage attack stat. So, we want to make sure we are only

using special attacks on our Kadabra. Also, any moves that are the sametype asthe pokemon using them, get STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus). Our Kadabrausinga psychic move does 1.5x more damage than our kadabra using any other typeofmove. This doesn't mean we should have only psychic moves on our Kadabrathoughbecause you shouldn't need more than one type of the same move on yourpokes.

Pick one move of a certain type and use that. IN -GAME you might want theextraPP and that is why you leave multiple types but online battling is adifferentball game. Kadabra should have psychic because it is the most powerfulpsychicmove and not anything else like psybeam or confusion. The rest of it'smovesshould vary so you can do the most damage to the most types of pokemon.Remember to check the icon to see if it is physical or special before youput anew move on a pokemon.


44/69

Dusclops with Shadow Ball is ok in R/S/E/FR/LF but Dusclops with ShadowBall inD/P = not good.

-----------------------Egg Moves-----------------------

Egg moves are moves that a pokemon can learn through breeding. When thepokemonis hatched, it will be hatched knowing these moves. The male parent has toknowthe move in order for the spawn pokemon to learn it. Egg moves allow you tochoose from more moves than the ones you get from leveling up. You shouldlookinto egg moves when deciding on the pokemon for your team to see if thereisone you want before you start breeding.

-----------------------E.0.4 - Natures-----------------------

Natures are very helpful in raising your pokemon. They raise one statisticby1.1x and lower another one by .9x. The nature determines which stats getraisedand which get lowered. You want to be sure that the pokemon you are raisinghas the correct nature for what you want it to be. The following natures donotaffect stats: Hardy, Docile, Bashful, Serious and Quirky. You may want apokemon like this but this is usually not the case. You should once againpicka nature that is beneficial to what you are raising. Adamant is a greatnaturefor a physical pokemon because it does not affect defense or speed and

raisesphysical attack. Below is a ch art for natures that does not include theones Imentioned above:
