Introduction: This is my first published guide. I wrote another one a long time ago but never
submitted it. It is a work in progress and I will update it as often as I can.I am going through the game for the first time as well so it may not have everything. This guide will be a constant work in progress.
Off to Sinnoh!
Early Tips before we start:*Catch a Bidoof. They are available early and can learn a lot of HMs. *Caves can be revisited later with more HMs to reach more areas.*Battle every possible trainer you can. They give double the XP of wild pokes.*Lower opposing pokemon stats for higher capture chance i.e. growl, screech.*Check the poketch company often, the president gives out new apps.*Save before legendaries, restart if needed.

Evolution: Evolution is when your pokemon changes into a new type of pokemon. Evolution usually increases your stats and can change the type of the pokemon.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 pokemon is different. Some pokemon only evolve by trading or trading with a certain itemattached.
Evolve by Stone: To evolve a pokemon by stone, you just use the stone on thepokemon. It will evolve immediately. This is good because that means you canevolve it whenever you want and evolution = stat gain. The downside is thatmost pokemon will not learn anymore moves once you evolve it by stone. They canstill learn TMs but they will not learn any level-up moves. You have to be surethat 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 up andit 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. Any tradedpokemon have their happiness reset so you will have to go through the processagain 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 evolution towait for a specific move as all non-evolved pokemon learn the moves faster thanthe evolved forms. Sometimes though, the non-evolved form will not learn a moveso it isn't always good to delay. Any moves you miss on pokemon that you didn'tevolve can always be learned from the move relearner once you finally do evolveit so don't worry. Attaching the everstone to a pokemon stops it from eventrying to evolve.
Evolve by Trade: These pokemon evolve once they are traded to another trainer.You will have to trade it to someone for it to evolve and hopefully, they willgive it back. Sometimes a certain item has to be attached to a pokemon to makeit evolve by trading. These items always say "It is loved by a certain pokemon"
Capturing: You can capture pokemon and train them which makes them your own. 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 a capture.
Caves: I will not be telling you how to get to every spot in a cave. My caveinstructions will only get you through the cave as fast as possible. You shouldcheck other parts of the cave AFTER you have already gone through it. That is the best way to explore. If you get to the end and there is a battle you areunder 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 150 pokes. By battling you see more and it helps fill your dex. When I beat the E4, I hadall 150 pokes in my dex. I didn't capture them all but I saw them so I got thenational 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 you knewwhat 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 stat 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 regular defense. You do not pick attacks just because they are water anymore. HM waterfall isphysical, 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 are goingto get "It's Super Effective!" This means that your attack did 2-4x damage tothe opposing pokemon. If the pokemon is only a single type then you would do 2xdamage to it. So, a Shinx using spark against a Buizel would do 2x damage. If the opposing pokemon is a dual type and both types are weak to electric, thenyou would do 4x damage to it. If that same Shinx uses spark against a Wingull,it is going to do 4x damage because Wingull is water/flying and both are weakto electric. KNOW YOUR TYPES! This is the same for "It's not very effective..."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 mine except at the beginning so do not worry about it. Just be sure that you arereally close to mine as you go through the game. If you need a certain pokemonin your pokedex, do a search through this guide and you will probably find it
as 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. Of course,you should pick whatever you want as there are tons of choices but here is a 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.
I named these because they are easy to get and still good. Mix and match fortypes.
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 will bediscussed 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 should neverpass 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 of Shiny pokemon on GTS asthey are probably hacked. It is very easy to tell a shiny pokemon because ithas stars around it when it is sent out. Examples include a red Gyarados and ablack Charizard.
We start our adventure in Twinleaf Town. I am not going to tell you how to get through the games first start up as if you are reading this FAQ, you probably have already done it. I am also not going to try and guess at names you may have chosen for you and your "friend" so I will refer to the friend as RIVAL.
Go down the stairs and speak to your mother. Walk outside and there is 4 housesin twinleaf. Your house is the bottom right and you can revisit your dear mother whenever for a free pokemon refresh. Your rival's house is the top left and you need to go there now so make haste. He will interrupt you and begin to leave when you near his door. He will forget something and return back into thehouse. Enter the house and go up to the second floor.
Talk to him and he will run off again. Go down the stairs and out. Head north to enter Route 201. Your RIVAL is waiting for you there. He will talk to youwhen you approach him. He will follow you now. Head west, because you cannotenter the grass without a pokemon. Follow the path west and then north to enterthe lakefront. Save before you enter if you want to ensure you get a femalepokemon. Pick your pokemon and when you enter the battle, if it is not female,restart.
Time to get a pokekmon. You will encounter two people chatting. They will leaveand forget something. Your rival will notice and you two will head into the thegrass. ATTACK! Now pick your pokemon:
Turtwig - You get Defense and Attack at the cost of speed. Turns into a grass/ground poke and will make a better choice for an easier adventure.
Chimchar - High attack, involves into a Fire/Fighting type poke. Rough first gym but gets easier after that.
Piplup - Pretty easy first gym with this poke, turns into a water/metal poke which is strong late in the game.
Defeat the Starly with your newfound pokemon. Now you are busted. You transportback to your house and your mother will give you the running shoes. Hooray! Nowthe fun begins. Head north (Route 201) and east through the grass. You can gain
some levels here but you cannot catch any of the pokemon yet. Follow Route 201 to Sandgem Town. The man in the grass will give you a potion if you speak withhim and it restores 20HP.
Your RIVAL will take you to the professor's lab. Talk to the professor and say yes to his adventure and you will get the Pokedex. After you have the pokedex, leave and you will be escorted around town. Your escort will head north a bit to Route 202 and if you try to pass, she will tell you to visit your mother.You can head south and get the Antidote and can also buy pokeballs at the mart. So, head back to your house. Talk to your mom and your RIVAL's mom will enter and give you a package to deliver. Go back to Sandgem and head north to Route 202. The person in the grass will show you how to catch pokemon and give you 5free pokeballs.
Route 202 has your first trainer battle. Hopefully you raised your starter pokesome levels to deal with the trainers. The battles aren't hard so you shouldn'thave much trouble. There are some new pokes in the grass and another potion onthis route.
Route 202 pokes: Shinx, Bidoof, Starly, KricketotPokedex seen count: 5
Route 202 leads to Jubilife Town. Your RIVAL is located at the trainer school and it has a big pokeball logo above the door. Enter the school and deliver
the package to get the town map. Battle the two trainers on the right side of the school to get TM10. They both have abras which is Psychic type. This willadd another pokemon to our seen count.
When you leave the school, head north to be approached by a man who is doing apromotion on watches. Find the clowns, answer yes to all of them and then get awatch. There are clowns in the town and they are very easy to find.
Locations: 1) Near the pokemon center, north 2) In front of the TV station 3) In front of the watch company, Poketch
Talk to the man with your three coupons in hand and you will get the watch. Before you leave town, enter the condos and the girl on the first floor will give you the quick claw. Exit Jubilife using the west exit. Once you enter the building exit, talk to the fisherman inside to get the Old Rod. You can now catch magikarps. Who doesn't love gyarados? You cannot do anything else onRoute 218 until later. Head back into Jubilife.
There is a new pokemon up here, Budew. The second trainer here will show you amagikarp. The third trainer will show Budew if you didn't find one in the grassalready. Enter the cave and you can find Psyduck, Geodude and Zubat. Exit the cave once you have at least found Geodude and Zubat.
Head back into Jubilife when you are finished catching pokes and battling trainers. The east exit is the way to go but be ready for a battle with your RIVAL. He will have a Starly at level 7 and his starter at level 9.
Your RIVAL will show another pokemon, his starter. Quite a few trainers here. Make your way through the route getting some XP. Abra is available in thegrass. If you want one, you have to throw the pokeball immediately as it will run away if you try to battle it. When you get to the end, there is a cave entrance. The trainer south of the cave entrance has a Machop for your pokedex.The cave has a couple trainers inside and also nets you an HM. It is a small cave and exits in Oreburgh City. The last trainer shows you a Psyduck if youdidn't find one earlier.
Finally, a badge city. However, the gym leader is not around. He is in the mines and you will have to go get him out. The first house in town has a dusk ball on the second floor. The 2nd house offers an Abra for a Machop which is a great way to get an Abra that will grow fast. Upstairs is a man looking to seea Zubat. You will get a TM if you bring him one. Enter the pokemon center andgo down the stairs. Wi-fi is now open to you. The house below the mining museumhas a great ball.
The mine is located in the Southern most part of town. You can get a superpotion from one of the workers east of the mine entrance. Enter the mine. Onix is the new poke available here. The mine has some trainers and a workerlocated between two rocks. Talk to him, he is the gym leader, and he will showyou rock smash and leave. Defeat the trainers and collect the items. When done,head out and off to the gym.
This gym is all geodude and onix. Make sure you have a poke that can handle these two (water/grass is best). The leader has a lvl 12 of each and a lvl 14
Cranidos 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. Winning nets you a TM that is very similar to spikes but for a rock pokemon and your firstbadge!!
Pokedex seen count: 15
NOTE: The GTS is now open in Jubilife which enables you to trade pokemon onlinewithout knowing friend codes. If you get a pokemon that is a much higher levelthan the pokes you are using, it probably will not obey you. Keep that in mind.
Now the quest for the 2nd badge begins. If you go north of Oreburgh, you cancatch a Machop on Route 207. You can't do anything else until you have the bikeso you need to go back through the tunnel to Jubilife. Once you reach Jubilife,head north for a double battle. After the battle, you will get the Fashion Case. You can now buy dress-up items to use on your pokemon inside the tv station, pointless IMO. The grunts showed some more pokes so that is nice. Enter the TV station before going on Route 204.
On the first floor, talk to the Pikachu. It will battle you and will be addedto your Dex. The girl at the counter does a lottery. Bring all traded pokemonhere and draw a number. If it matches, you can get a good item like a masterball. 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 first floor of the poketch building. You get the app Memo Pad. Leave.
North to Route 209.
Pokedex seen count: 18
-----------------------Ravaged Path
-----------------------
You can now get through the cave with rock smash. Inside the cave, left getsyou an item but dead ends and right exits the cave. Once outside, keep trekkingnorth. The first trainer shows Cherubi. 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.
Flowers, flowers, flowers. The flower shop has the watering can and someberries. There is TM88 in the house next to the flower shop. Nothing else tosee here, make your way east (Route 205).
The bridge is impassable so keep going east. The grunt guarding the building has a lvl11 Glameow which is new to the dex. Fight the goon and he will lockhimself 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 and thegoons will be gone. Now there is a secret entrance. Defeat the goons inside thegarden to get the key from the old man. Grunt 1 will show a Silcoon. After thebattle, 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 caught thisway. Once again, back to the Valley Windworks. Leave the garden with key in hand 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 a little tough. The first grunt you encounter has a lvl11 Cascoon for the dex. The bossis one of Team Galactics commanders. She has a lvl 14 Zubat and a lvl 16 Purugly. I ended up beating Purugly with a lvl 10 onix but I lost everythingelse. Use potions and defeat her.
Once she is defeated, you can cross the bridge from earlier. The papa and thelittle girl will tell you about a special balloon poke but you cannot get thatone yet so ignore it for now. Heal in Floaroma and cross the bridge.
The first trainer over the bridge has a lvl14 Ponyta. There are no new pokes 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 west ofthe house is a trainer that has Piplup which may or may not help with your dex.Do not worry if it doesn't. The rest of the trainers can be skipped if you donot want the XP.
When you enter the forest, you get approached by someone looking for help withgetting 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 through, just keep fighting trainers and you know you are going the right way. There are some items in the grass and also some new pokes. Going through the grass with your new friend nets two pokemon per battle as well.
The first double battle shows Beautifly and Silcoon to your pokedex. The thirddouble battle has Burmy, Kricketune and Dustox. The fourth one has a Meditite.
FAST ROUTE:1) East, north, double battle, follow route to double battle.2) South, east, double battle, east, north, double battle, north, east into grass.3) North, west, north, east, EXIT.
NEW Pokemon roundup: Murkrow(D), Wurmple, Silcoon(D), Cascoon(P),Beautifly(D), Buneary, Dustox(P), Misdreavus(P)
Misdreavus and Murkrow can be hard to find so if you don't, you will get to seethem later in the game. Exit the forest and cross the bridge, fight the fisherman to get some lousy XP because they mostly have magikarps. From left toright, the 1st fisherman doesn't battle, the 2nd one has a goldeen for the dex,the 3rd fisherman has only Magikarp so skip him entirely and the last fishermanalso has a goldeen with a bunch of Magikarp.
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 a professor's aid 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 is on the 2nd floor here.
The explorer kit can be found in the house next to the pokemon center. Talk tothe old man and he will give you the kit and also some tests he wants you to complete so you can learn how to use the kit. See the Appendix for pokemon thatcan be caught this way and what you can do underground. You get HM cut when youtake the northern route in the city. There is a poketch app inside the pokemoncenter, 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 get it. Just go to the gym and fight for it. The gym in town is a grass gym so you willneed a flying or fire move for it. There are a couple new pokemon available tosee in the gym.
When you get to the gym, the leader will be waiting for you. She will hide her
trainers inside the gym and you will need to find them and defeat them to be able to battle her. Enter the main room after she goes in and start searching.Go north 90% of the way then head west. The first trainer is here. Follow the path west, then south and you will find the second trainer after the 2 rocks.Go back to the door and you can see three small trees in the top right of your screen, behind them is a trainer. To get to the last one, go back to the doorand follow the first path east and then north. The trainer is in the area withthe four flowers.
Now you can fight the gym leader. Her highest level poke is a lvl 22 Roserade.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 breeze throughit.
Pokedex seen count: 38
After you defeat the gym leader, you have a couple options. From here, you can head east to route 211 where there is some tall grass and a cave. This way has Ponyta, Chingling and Meditite in the grass. Inside the cave there is Cleffa 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 you canfight 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 cut down.Cut them and enter the building. This is the galactic grunts building and youneed to go through it in order to get the bike. You can avoid most of the trainers in here or talk to the people on the computers to get more XP. The hardest poke in here is a lvl 20 Skuntank with most of the pokes averaging lvl15 and they are mostly bugs. You get two new pokemon for the pokedex even ifyou skip the trainers on the computers.
Pokedex seen count: 41
Once you defeat all the trainers, the bike shop owner is released and you can enter the bike shop and get a bike. The bike shop is located just south of thepokemon 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 to whereyou got the exp share and now you can get past the guards as you have a bike.
There are some trainers along here you can fight for some more XP. The firsttrainer you can battle has a Staravia for the pokedex. The third trainer has 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 girl who will give you an accessory. Exit cycling road and you are at Route 206, up theledge that we couldn't go up earlier. There are two small trees that you cancut here. Cut them to gain access to some new pokemon. On route 206, you canfind Bronzor, Stunky(D), Kricketune and Ponyta. This Ponyta is a lot moreabundant than the one earlier.
Pokedex seen count: 43
-----------------------3.0.1 - Cave of Doubt-----------------------
There is a cave at the end of Route 206 called the Cave of Doubt. You can use the 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 is quite a maze. Enter the cave and follow these directions: SMR stands for Smash the Rock
1) North, SMR. 2) North again, SMR.3) North, then west, SMR.*) West, South, West, South leads to two trainers and an item, TM32*) West, South, SMR, South leads to a Hiker and a dead end4) North, SMR5) North, then West, SMR*) North, West, South leads to two trainers and an item (Rare Candy)6) North, East, SMR, continue East, South, Escape Rope. 7) East, South, SMR
8) South, SMR, Follow path and keeping SMRs. When you get to north or south intersection, go North. You will get Mira who heals your pokes after battles South from Mira goes to two trainers. Pokemon encounters now show two pokes9) Leave with Mira. Follow directions backwards. You can go back and fight the trainers now as they will be easier with healing afterwards.
I honestly do not know what saving Mira does for the main game. Since I don't,I am not going to count the above section in the Pokedex seen count.
Thank god that is over, head back to where you cut the trees and 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, your friendwill 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 and itemsthroughout here or you can just skip a lot of the trainers and go to the cave.The hiker before the cave has a Bronzor if you didn't see one earlier. The caveis very short and requires no HMs. Go through the cave.
Same situation as before. You can fight everyone and get items or run through this 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 from her. 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 south ofthe house that will give you the Odd Keystone that you need to capture thepokemon Spiritomb. East arrives in Hearthome City.
Pokedex seen count: 46
____________________________________________________OPTIONAL FOR NOW
Now that you have done cycling road and have the ability to use cut, you can return to the forest and cut down the trees near the exit. There is an Old Chateau here. Now is your chance to get a Gastly. Inside here lies TM90 andsome items. It is not worth checking this place out unless you really want aGastly or TM90.____________________________________________________
Do like you always do when you enter a town. Talk to everyone and get stuff.The Shell Bell is available on the second floor of the house right next to theFan Club. The Poffin Case is given to you by the Fan Club president. You needthis to evolve a pokemon like Feebas. The hiker in the Southeat corner of townhas an egg for you. To hatch an egg, carry the egg with you and walk a certainamount of steps with the egg. It will hatch when you reach the right amount ofsteps. It is usually somewhere between 3,000 and 7,000 steps and depends on thepokemon.
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 is nogym battle here but you can talk to the gym leader outside the contest hall.You need to do this in order to get your RIVAL to battle you. Enter the contesthall 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 stroll area. Only certain pokemon are permitted here and it has some TMs and other useful items in it. The Southeast corner exit leads to Route 209 and you can get a Good Rod from the fisherman here. The Southwest exit is still blocked by the TV reporter. Go to Route 209. Your RIVAL has evolved his starter and you
More same old pokemon formula here. Walk through the route collecting items andbattling trainers. The Pikachu is actually a trainer you can battle. The firsttrainer you encounter has a Pichu for the pokedex. You can now fish for betterfish with the Good Rod here. Place the Odd Keystone inside the large rock andit turns into the Hallowed Tower. This serves no purpose until you have talkedto 32 people in the underground, more on that later. The girl trainer west ofthe Tower has a Cleffa if you missed it earlier. Route 209 leads to SolaceonTown and the Lost Tower.
NEW pokemon round up: Chansey, Mime JR, Bibarel, Good Rod pokes
Pokedex seen count: 51 (with Chansey)
-----------------------The Lost Tower-----------------------
The Lost Tower is a tower of pokemon graves. You can be attacked while walkingaround the tower. There are some more trainers and items scattered here. Thefirst trainer has a Stunky(D) which is good for Pearl players. There are someGastly here if you didn't go back to Old chateau. On the third floor, there isa double battle you can skip, don't. The trainers have Misdreavus and Murkow sothat is good for both Diamond and Pearl players. You get the cleanse tag and HMStrength at the top of the tower. Leave.
To the Pokemon Center to heal. Everyone around town is wearing a hat. Talk to everyone in town to get some new items. The first cowboy you see gives you a
poketch app. The furthest house east has the seal case for you. If you bring the newspaper guy what he wants, he will give you an item. Nothing spectacular.
We have finally reached the Day Care! You can breed two pokemon by putting amale 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 man outsidewhen you have two pokemon in the day care to see how long an egg will take toarrive. If the old man says, "The two prefer to play with other pokemon" thenyou will never get an egg. No gym here, darn.
Located in the east side of town in a cave. The ruins has Unown and trainers. Press A on the rocks to get items. It doesn't work for all of the rocks though.There is only one right way to go through the ruins. When you first enter the ruins, there is text on the wall and it is directions on how to get to throughthe maze.
"Top Right, Lower Left, Top Right, Top left, Top Left, Lower Left."
When you get to the room with the 4 pokeballs, there is text on the wall. It iswritten in Unown and it possibly says:
"Friendship all lives touch other lives to create something anew and alive."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.
The first trainer in the tall grass has an Aipom and a Girafarig for the dex.
You get TM51 along the way here but you have to talk a the girl on the rightside of the route to get it. The second double battle has a Clefairy for thepokedex. The trainer north of the second double battle has a Happiny so if youdont want to hatch the egg from the hiker, battle him or the girl at the end ofthe tall grass.
As you travel, you will find the Milk store and lots of people inside. If youtalk 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.
More trainers and more pokes. You can catch a Kadabra in the grass. Keep goingand 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 2nd Karateguy has a Croagunk and the third one is right next to a Fist Plate but has nonew pokemon. TM43 is available by way of cut along the route. The double battleat the end of the route has a Monferno so that may or may not help you but theGyarados should.
Enter town, walk around, talk to everyone. Dawn is outside the gym as well asan old man who will give you TM63. There is a house with a girl who massages your 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 and overand eventually you will win. You get a coin case. You can get the coins fromthe Game Corner now and exchange them for FABULOUS PRIZES!!! WOOOT!
Ultra Balls and Great balls are finally available at the Department Store First
Floor. There is also a new Poketch app in here and lots of TMs for sale. TheSticky Barb hold item is located on the roof. The app is on the second floorand 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 and Medititesat 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 lvl 30 Lucario that is fighting/steel so psychic will do normal damage. You get theability to use HM fly outside which is good because it is in the galactic warehouse. If you get stuck, try to line up all the gaps in the boards with thestairs. Walk outside of the gym to have Dawn ask you for help. Defeat the thugs, enter the warehouse and Fly is in plain sight.
Fly to Hearthome and you can now leave through the Southwest exit of the town.When you exit, you will be on Route 212.
This route has a honey tree you can smear which is good since it is so close to town. There are also some police patrolling here. TM11 is here but requirescut, some other items as well that require surf. There is the Pokemon Mansionhere as well.
The first double battle has a Chatot you want to see for the pokedex. You canacquire one by utilizing the in-game trade mentioned earlier in the guide. Thedouble battle before the Pokemon Mansion has a Buneary.
If you enter the mansion and go left, there is a Great Ball, Soothe Bell and aBurn heal in the trash can. If you go right, TM Swagger is in the office. Go
to the garden to catch some new pokes. Roselia and Pikachu are available hereas well as Pichu.
Head south out of the Mansion through the grass. No new pokes here but thereare Wooper in the rainy grass coming up. There are some trainers along herethat average lvl20. There is a girl in a house here who will trade shards forTMs. 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 helped meso I am going to include it in the count. You will catch up soon if it didn'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 use yourbike 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 trainers and azinc at the end of it. Route 212 leads to 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 Zone. The move tutor is veryhelpful if you transfer a lot of pokes from pal park or if you want to get amove back that you deleted. The move tutor will ask for a heart scale and youcan get them in the underground. The gym in town is all water pokemon with hardly 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 badge andthe ability to use the HM you get in the Safari Zone outside.
The first guy on the right when you enter the Safari Zone gives you HM05. The Safari 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't actuallytake a step. You will get encounters without increasing your step count. So long as you do not run out of balls you can stay forever. I am not going tocount the Safari Zone in the seen count.
You should always battle all the trainers in a gym because they show you newpokemon and give you more XP. After you beat the gym, talk to the Grunt in thenorthern most part of town. He will run off and he tells you not to follow him,you should. Your rival will show up when you try to follow the grunt so beready for a battle. The gym had Azurill, Marill, Wingull and Floatzel.
Follow the route fighting trainers. Everytime you see the grunt, talk to himand 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 your lead pokemon. The first fisherman has a Remoraid and the second one doesn'tbattle.
The hotel area has a lot of trainers you can battle, mostly in the restaurant.
Lots of double battles in here and you get a lot of money afterwards. The pokesaverage lvl 20-23. The hotel clerk at the front desk will heal your pokes for you. There is a TM available on the hotel property as well. You will find the grunt here and he will finally battle you. He has a lvl 25 Glameow. Follow himagain and Cynthia will meet you and give you a potion to remove the psyducksfrom Route 210. Continue heading north on Route 214 and take the eastern path.There is a girl trainer along the way who has a Haunter. The girl right afterher, 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 for eachletter of the alphabet, the ruin maniac finishes the cave. The cave then leadsto another area that has two more unowns. The two extra unowns are the questionmark and the exclamation point. If you keep walking around the cave, you willeventually get attacked by a rare Hippopotas. In 25 attacks, I got 24 geodudesand 1 hippo. I have been told the more unowns you catch, the higher theencounter rate for Hippopotas. Eventually, you will end up in Veilstone City.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)
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 in CelesticTown. 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 trainers here.Follow route 210 until you reach Celestic Town.
There are three ninja trainers hidden in the tall grass. The one hidden on theeast side of the tall grass has a Skorupi. The rest have pokemon we have
already 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 getting in battles. You see Mothim, Luxioand Raichu before you end up at a bike path. The bike path leads to TM30 and atrainer.
After you get the TM, head back onto the normal route. After the karate guy,you can go right for a battle and an item or left. The item is the Smoke Balland it lets you run from any wild encounter. East dead ends so turn around andhead 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 avoid thebattle. Celestic town is just ahead.
You can net a poketch app and a great ball by talking to the residents of thistown. The Great Ball is in the pokemon center and the app is in the house inthe 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 old woman will come up to you and thank you. Enter the cave and press A on the pictures of the pokemon on the wall. The old woman will enter again and giveyou HM03 Surf.
Now the gym in Hearthome is open! You can fly there now or you can go west toRoute 211 and get a TM and fight some trainers for XP. No new pokes that waythough. The TM is Psych Up.
The gym here is all Ghost which means a dark pokemon will own it. The puzzles
are ridiculously easy but you should go in the wrong doors on purpose to getmore battles in before the leader. A lot of the trainers in here have Drifloonwho does a lot of damage to you after a physical attack is done to it. Be sureto fight the girl on the 2nd floor, far right door before you go straight tothe 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 opens up alot of pathways that you could not utilize before. You should take some timeand travel to these places:
Fly to Jubilife City and head west. You can surf near the fisherman that gaveyou the old rod. Keep heading west and there are 2 fisherman here you can battle. There is a lot of new pokemon this way. The sailor when you reach landhas a Mantyke. The grass along the way has Gastrodons, Mr. Mimes and Glameows(P) in it and when you are surfing, you will be attacked by Pelipper. When youarrive 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 straight tothe pokemon center as your RIVAL will catch up to you soon enough. Your RIVAL'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 Heracross whichis 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 a sailor
near a boat. You can take this boat to IRON ISLAND. For now, surf south on the water and you will find TM89. Take the boat to IRON ISLAND for a rare pokemon.
Iron Island is the home of a very rare pokemon. You get the pokemon in egg formso you are going to need an empty spot in your party. No HMs are needed sothat opens up your HM slave spot. Exit the boat and go up the stairs into the cave.
Steelix and Golbat are new here. You can get some good XP inside the cave. You will be attacked by a lot of Graveler and that is new to the pokedex. Ice andwater attacks will help throughout the cave. There are quite a few trainers anditems here.
Fast Route: 1) Go down the east set of stairs.2) Up stairs, east, down stairs, south, up east set of stairs, down elevator.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 elevator, out cave.
Cherrim is found in step 2 in a trainer battle. Medicham is found in step 4.You should see Steelix at some point throughout the cave as well. If you missSteelix, it will be in the gym so do not worry about it.
Riolu turns into the pokemon your partner was using in the cave.
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 a
lvl39 Bastiodon. The Bastiodon can be a pain but luckily for me, it did not useRest. It may use it against you so be ready for it. It is a rock/steel pokemonso ground moves will really hurt it. Winning nets you the Mind badge and the ability to use Strength outside.
Strength will let you move the gray boulders around. Evolve your bidoof to be able to teach it Strength if you have been using one. Now you want to hit the caves. There is a cave near Oreburgh that will give you a TM and a cave nearCelestic Town.
After you have beaten the gym, your RIVAL will talk to you again. Go inside thelibrary and meet him on the 3rd floor. The library is in the northwest 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.
Pokedex seen count: 99
-----------------------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 lvl37 Toxicroak. It is fighting so flying works well. Afer you defeat him, fly toTwinleaf 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 and shestill has her Purugly. The double battles before show no new pokemon. One lakeleft, fly to Celestic Town.
Head West of Celestic Town and enter the cave. Part of the cave is foggy but
you do not need fog clear 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 your waythrough the fog without it. Run from the battles as you will have a lot loweraccuracy with the fog. Stay to the left if you just want to run through the area. Take the stairs and you will be in the room with the exit, no obstacleshere. Exit the cave.
Snowing here turns into hail in your battles. I didn't have an ICE pokemon sothis was frustrating. If you take the high road, a girl trainer along the wayhas a Lopunny. The low road has an Ambipom and grass with new pokes. Follow thepath until you get to a house and fight all the trainers. Each of the trainerswill show you a new pokemon. You can heal your pokes inside the house by takinga nap in the bed. After the house, go North to Route 217. The first girl in thegrass after the house has a Mr. Mime if you missed it earlier.
The snow really starts coming down here. You fall down into heavy snow andbarely move but just keep trudging along. The first trainer you battle has aHippopotas 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 is inside
that house and in the grass are Snover, Sneasel and Medicham. The exit to theroute is north of the Hiker's house. There is a trainer battle you can't avoidand he has a Seaking.
You first come across Acuity Lakefront but the Galactic Grunts are keeping youout. Head east from here through the grass. You will end up in Snowpoint City.This city is pretty much just a gym city. Walk around and talk to everyone andthen 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 break them. However, if you touch stairs while you are heading towards the snowball, youwill slow down too much to break 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 middle andand the ones that are blocking the stairs to the gym leader. If you see a snowball can only be hit from the east or west and the east path has stairs, then you know you HAVE to hit it from the west.
The leader has pokes ranging from lvl38-42. The Abomasnow is new and is tough.Steel and Fire will do best in this gym and the leader is no exception. Win andget the ability to use Rock Climb outside of battle and TM72. If you fought allthe trainers before the gym leader you got Tentacruel, if not, it will show upagain later.
Rock Climb is useful, like surf, in getting places you couldn't before. I amsure you have seen the parts around Sinnoh that can be scaled. You can chooseto 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. No battleshere just more story. They tell you not to go to galactic HQ but that isexactly where we are going. Fly to Veilstone.
Go to HQ and not the warehouse, outside of HQ, there is a grunt you can talk towho will run off and leave a key. Pick up the key and head to the warehouse. You can open the first door in the warehouse but they key will break insidethe lock. Better find another key then...
Not a very difficult area to scale, there is a bed inside the warehouse you canuse to heal your pokes. You are looking for the galactic key inside the warehouse. 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. Eventually youreach two warp panels.
The east panel leads to a TM so take that one real quick. Then go back throughand take the west warp panel. Follow the path and you end up in a room with aset 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 stairs thistime if you want TM21. If you do not want the TM, then just leave the warehouseand go next door to HQ.
The goal here is to get to the end and fight the boss. It is pretty straightforward. You can go slightly off the beaten path for items but you do not get far. At the end, you fight the galactic boss and get a masterball. The bosshas 2 pokes weak to electric and 1 Sneasel which is dark/ice. They are betweenlvl40 and lvl43. Once you beat him, he tells you to go east. You will end upin another room now. There is another battle up ahead but it is easier than theone you just had.
The Galactic Admin has a Kadabra, Bronzor and Toxicroak. They are lvl38 and 40.Once you defeat her, she will move out of the way and you can press the redbutton. This lets three legendary pokemon free.
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 ready fora legendary battle. Bring about 30 Ultra Balls,4 Quick Balls and 6 Timer balls.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 cave, 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 the way.It is the evolved form of Bronzor and is new to the pokedex. In the next room:
North, West, South, Upstairs, North, West over bridge, down stairs, up northstairs,up stairs, cross bridge, down stairs, down stairs, upstairs and in cavedoor.
Next room: Up stairs, up stairsNext room: up stairs, trainer 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 until youreach another cave. Inside, use rock climb, follow the path, down the stairsthen east out of the cave.
Outside again. Through the grass, down the stairs, rock climb west. Down the stairs, 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.
Ok, 2 galactic battles and 1 legendary pokemon coming up. You can't avoid the double battle so you need to try and reach the boss. They will converge on youbut your RIVAL will show up and help. The big boys here are Purugly lvl 45 andSkuntank lvl46. Once you defeat them, you rival heals your pokes for the bossbattle.
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 time isstill going to work this time so as long as you gained some levels, you shouldbe fine. He has some evolved pokemon you haven't seen before so that will helpout 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 never beable 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, anything thatis rock/steel and has iron defense would work really well here. Get Dialga inthe 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 work though
Use 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, now youmove onto your timer balls. If by some miracle you still do not have Dialgaand 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 against it. I would suggest you use a watertype. Palkia does not have have a powerhouse attack like Dialga's Roar of Time.
After the battle, head north to get a special item for your new legendary.
Three legendary pokemon have been unleashed now that you have helped Dialga. 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. Allthe pokes are lvl 50 and Psychic. Use the same tactic as you did on Dialga andit should go pretty smoothly. You can use the dusk ball now and it has a 4x capture rate on pokes in caves. I used Luxray with charge to keep raising myspecial D since they are psychic types. When you try and fight Mesprit, it runsaway and shows up on your poketch marking map. If you do not have this yet, go to Jubilife City and get it from the poketch company. Talk to the president near the front desk to get it. Keep talking to him and you will get two more 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
Mesprit gets it's own section because it is quite a pain in the butt to get. 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 mean lookor 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 that oneI 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 corner of your screen.3) Walk out of the town and when the top left shows the route name, that makes Mesprit 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 you are 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.
We can get here now. Fly to Veilstone City and head south to the hotel on Route214. When you reach Valor Lakefront, the path east is now open. East leads toRoute 222. This is the way to Sunyshore. 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.
Enter the town and you get inspiration to battle the gym leader. If you go tothe 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 shore because you will need to talkto 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 change it 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, 1 waterand 1 normal Ambipom. Rock/Ground wins them all except the water pokemon, alvl47 Octillery.
We finally have all 8 badges and can gain access to the E4. You need waterfalland to get it, head to the northeast section of town and talk to the girl onthe beach again. She will give you HM Waterfall now that you have beat the gym.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 now asyou are going to need to hatch it to get the national dex.
Now is a real good time to visit this place. It is hidden pretty well so to gethere, fly to Floaroma town and head east out of town. At the first bridge youget to, surf west and follow the water. Eventually you will reach this area.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 lower thanyours but that is fine because there really is no reason to rush to get here.This area has a lot of the tiles that move your character along so it really 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 to fighthim. There is also Rock Incense and TM35. There is nothing else to do here sofly back to Sunyshore City.
Once you have waterfall, surf north on the route. There is a trainer here that has a Finneon evolution so you are going to want to fight the swimmer so it isin your dex. Just keep heading north if you want to skip the items. Therearen't many here but there is TM18. You can catch Mantyke along the way. Thethird swimmer on the route has a Mantyke and a Mantine so you should battlehim. At the very end of the route is a big waterfall. Use your new HM here andyou will be taken to Victory Road entrance and a pokemon center.
Lots of trainers, lots of items and lots of time, this cave is very large. The pokes in here are in the lower 50s. There are no new pokes except duringtrainer battles. You should battle as much as possible as you will need thelevels. The pokemon league is right after the cave.
Route:1) Cross bridge, cross bridge, cross bridge, Rock climb, west, up stairs, north trainer battle (Blissey), up stairs, up stairs.
2) Smash the south rock, head south. Use strength. Move northeast boulder down, move north boulder west and last boulder south 2x. Head west, trainer battle (Carnivine and Rampardos).
3) Move west most boulder down once. Run around and smash rock. Move boulder again north 2x. East, follow path. Smash the rock, trainer battle (Clefable and Torterra). Move northern most boulder east, head north, trainer battle, (Staraptor and Hippowdon), down stairs.
4) Cross bridge, rock climb, west, north, follow path, trainer battle (Machamp) down stairs.
5) Down stairs, down stairs, surf east, surf north, waterfall, follow water
path, trainer battle (Gabite), surf again, follow water path, up stairs.
6) West, take first path south, trainer battle (Golem and Empoleon), south, east, rock climb, north, trainer battle (Gible), north, cave exit.
You made it to the pokemon league. That is the very quick way through. You can search around the cave and find all the items and gain XP for the E4.
Dun dun dun! We are here. The final battles to mark you as champion. There is apokemon center here as well as a mart. The game gives you tons of moneyespecially if you fought everyone and reset when you lose. Buy lots of potionsand revives. The best items are Full Restore, Hyper Potion and Revive. I bought30 of each and used just about all of them. My levels were far too low for theE4 but my dragon dancing gyarados did a number on them. I will recap each person so you can be ready for them. Your RIVAL thinks he is better than youso 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.
Aaron is a bug guy so fire/flying works well. They range from lvl 53 to lvl 57.Heracross is 4x weak to flying and the only one that isn't weak to flying is the LVL57 Drapion. It is dark/poison so psychic will not work out either. Use fighting/ground against him if you got it.
Bertha has pokes between lvl55 and lvl59. All her pokes are weak to water saveQuagsire. It will double team and use sandstorm. Water will raise it's HP so donot use a water attack against it. She isn't hard at all if you took Prinplup.
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 but becareful of Lopunny as it knows mirror coat. Mirror coat will hurt special attackers so use physical attacks.
Hopefully, you took my hints and have a Gyarados by now but if not, any dark type will do. All his pokes are psychic so dark hurts them. Bronzong has steelthough so it will not be super effective. Gyarados will die quick against Mr.Mime if he cannot strike first as Mime knows thunderbolt. His pokes are lvl59to lvl60. The champion awaits...
She has a lvl66 garchomp and all her pokes are lvl60 or greater. Spiritomb isprobably new to you and it is like sableye, it has no weakness. Garchomp willfall to ICE (guess who knows ice? Gyarados!). I didn't have much trouble withher, I used Dragon Dance a few times with Gyarados and swept everyone else inone hit. Milotic will take an electric attack as it regenerates HP and has agood 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!
Not quite. There is still plenty of pokemon to play. You can try and fill your dex with captures instead of seen, you still have places you haven't explored and Pal Park will let you bring your pokemon up from older GBA games. Bottom line: 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. The centerhouse has an old woman you can talk to and she will show you a picture ofPalkia or Dialga depending on your version. Once you have the picture, your dexshould be full of seen pokes. If it isn't, you haven't fought all the trainers so you will need to either raise the missing pokes, or go find the trainers youmissed. If you have all 150, go to Sandgem town and talk to the professor. He will give you the National Dex.
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 to thelittle 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 Pal Park.To get to Pal Park, fly to your house and surf South. The route turns east sofollow 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 your old pokes. You haveto stock it before you start up your save file. To stock Pal Park, place yourGBA game in the GBA slot. Any pokemon that you want to transfer will need to bein boxes on your GBA game. Start up diamond and get to the screen where you canpick New Game or your save file. You will have another option there that saysMigrate Pokemon.. You want to pick this option and then use the touch screen toselect the six pokemon you want to migrate. The pokemon will be moved from the GBA game and not cloned.
Now, load up your diamond save and enter Pal Park. You have to catch your oldpokemon again but you get Pal Park balls which never miss. Your old pokes willbe exactly the same as they were on the GBA game. You may have to re-thinktheir movesets now under the new diamond attack scheme. You can take the pokesto 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 very useful.
One thing to note about Pal Park is that you can only transfer pokemon from agame pak once a day. You can transfer pokemon from multiple game paks butstill only once a day per game pak.
Fly to Canalave City and head towards the boat that takes you to Iron Island.Enter the house right next to the boat on the west coast and there will be a woman 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 a new
island. This island is empty besides the legendary pokemon. It is a quick walkto it and it will run away just like Mesprit did. Cresselia is a Psychic typepokemon at lvl50. Use the same strategy you did on Mesprit. You will have touse 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 national dex.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 you keepgoing 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 internet teams.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 you alsoto go east, Route 230.
Route 230 is a surf route so you need a pokemon who has surf. There are someswimmer battles along the way and some grass to catch old pokemon in. You willneed 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 fight them.
Keep heading east and you will reach route 229. When you reach land, go eastand then south.
-----------------------Resort Area
-----------------------
You can now fly here. There isn't much here but grass and a special area thatyou can only enter once your pokemon has enough ribbons. From here, you wantgo head to the northwest part of town to access Route 228.
All battles here will be in a sandstorm. If you want to rush through the routeignoring items and such, stay off the bike slides. Keep heading north and whenyou reach a dead end, head west through the grass. Move north and west again toRoute 226.
There are two ways to go here. You can surf through the water and there is agentleman in a house who will give you a foreign language poketch app. Itdoesn't really help much unless you want your pokedex in a foreign language. Instead of that, head north and use your bike to jump the two ramps. Jump downthe cliff and then head west then north. Then east, up the stairs, use bike tocross, through the grass, east, south then through the grass again. Go up thestairs, 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 going 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 stairs, push boulder, down the stairs, up the stairs, east4) Rock smash, up the stairs, push boulder, up stairs, up stairs, door.5) North and you will get a partner. You know how it works now.6) East, north, down the second set of stairs, north, west, up stairs, trainer battle.7) West, north, east, down stairs, push boulder east, up stairs, door.
8) Your "friend" takes your item. Escape Rope.
When you are heading back for Heatran, you can use the bottom steps if you wishsince you will be able to use rock climb now.
6) East, down the stairs, west, north after trainers, rock smash, rock climb7) East, rock climb down, east, north, rock climb between trainers, door.
Of course, you can go through this area and get the items if you choose. Theiron ball and TM50 is in here. Thesurvival area of the island has a TM but nothing else. You can get there by either heading north from the battle area orkeep heading west and surf from Route 226. Buck is here waiting inside a house.Talk to him and he will return the stone to Stark Mountain.
You need to return to where you last brought him. This time, there will be a lvl70 pokemon there. It is a legendary so you are going to need lots of pokeballs. Dusk balls work good as well as timer balls and ultra balls. It willtake awhile to catch. Heatran is a fire/steel pokemon so use a water attack todo 2x damage to it. It will usually take more balls than Dialga/Palkia. Ihighly recommend Dusk Balls for any pokes inside a cave. They are available atthe pokemon league mart.
You will need to use Pal Park to have access to this lvl70 beast. In order for this Regi to show up, you need to first transfer Regirock, Registeel and Regicefrom Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire to Diamond/Pearl. With these three pokes in your party, head to the temple north of Snowpoint City. You will be blocked at firstbut Cynthia will show up and tell you it is OK to enter. Regigigas is in there and is a normal type.
1) Enter, go down stairs. Calcium is here and another staircase. Go down.2) This next room isn't hard. Follow the path and go down the stairs again.3) Now the ice puzzle. Go down the ice that is between the two rocks. East,
north, west, north, west, south. You should stop now. West, north, east, north, stairs. Walk through the rocks and go down the stairs.4) We can now see Regigigas but first, ice puzzle. Stand by the 3 rocks so that you make a square. Head east onto the ice.5) South, stop, south,east, north, stop, west, south, east, North.
Press A on Regigigas and as long as you have the 3 REGIs in your party, the statue will come alive. Ghost type works really well here. Make sure you have alot of Dusk and Timer balls.
A new path has opened up near Veilstone city. You can get their by flying to Veilstone and heading south. Stick to the east side while heading south and youwill see a new opening. This is the spring path. The spring path leads to theSendoff Spring. Walk around the spring until you get to a cave entrance. You will need to use Rock Climb to enter Turnback Cave.
The cave is very difficult to navigate through and if you return through a doorfrom 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 turnback if you pick a room that does not have a pillar. Also, do not forget that you canalso go south.
When you do encounter Giratina, it will be lvl70 and is a ghost/dragon type. Anormal pokemon works very well here as 2 of the 3 attacking moves Giratina hasdo 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 balls catchit.
Rotom is available in the Old Chateau once you beat the elite four. Return tothe chateau and head upstairs. There is a tv in one of the rooms up there so press A on the tv. You will be attacked by Rotom. Rotom is an electric ghost and is at lvl15 so do not bring your legendary capture team. If you do not encounter Rotom on the tv, try again later until you finally do. Keep trying, it is there. Rotom comes out at night so do not look for him during the day.
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 to waitfor an event. Put this in your FAQ: Go to the Jubilife TV Station and find areporter. 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 3 options: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 mystery giftwill be downloaded from the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (Nintendo WFC). That is another way to get the event Pokemon without cheating."
This enables the mystery gift option on startup but you still need to wait forthe event to happen to get the event pokemon. The following sections only applyif you obtained the event via hacking or mystery gift.
Enter any pokemart to see a man in green standing next to the counter. Talk tohim and he will give you the Members Card. Fly to Canalave city and head northof 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 has Darkraiwaiting. Darkrai is level 40 and you cannot leave the island unless you captureor 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 with theLunar Wing. See the Cresselia section of the guide if you have not taken careof the sick boy.
Enter any pokemart to see a man in green standing next to the counter. Talk tohim and he will give you the Oak's Letter. The letter is a request for you togo to Route 224 so go there now. Fly to the Pokemon League and head south backinto Victory Road. There is a cave that goes east in the first room of the Victory Road cave and it is open now. You need to take that cave. Why goingthrough the cave, you will meet up with Marley and she will ask to follow youthrough the cave. The cave gets foggy here as well. You are definetly going towant to have Defog in here as the cave is long and tedious. The cave's exit isin the northwest corner and you end up outside.
There is grass here and some trainers. Make your way north through the grass.Keep heading north and you will reach a white rock with Oak standing in frontof it. He will ask you to thank someone and put what you want and suddenly, flowers eveywhere. Shaymin will appear and run away so follow it! Run along thenew path for a while and you will eventually reach Flower Paradise. Shaymin isjust ahead.
Shaymin is lvl30 and has a recover move. It isn't hard to catch and I caught itfull health with a great ball. Once you have caught Shaymin, fly away. Shaymincomes attached with a Lum Berry.
Enter any pokemart to see a man in green standing next to the counter. Talk tohim and he will give you the Azure Flute. You need to go to the Spear Pillaragain, to where you faught Dialga/Palkia. When you get to the top, the flutewill play and a staircase will appear. Go up the stairsway and as soon as youreach the top, you fight Arceus. Arceus is lvl80 and changes forms depending onwhich plate you attach to it.
All pokemon are different, even ones of the same type. EVs and IVs help ensure that all pokemon stay different. EVs are effort points and IVs are Individual Values. Every pokemon you catch or hatch, has a predetermined set of IVs. They are random in the wild but can be somewhat controlled while breeding. At lvl 100, the IVs will add however many points they are worth to that particular stat. It is best to show by example so I will.
When you first catch a pokemon, you can calculate it's IVs. The higher thelevel, the more accurate you can calculate. So, if you have a lvl100 Kadabrawith a Sp. Attack IV of 15 and another one with a Sp. Attack IV of 27. Thelatter Kadabra is going to have an Attack stat that is 12 points higher thanthe former Kadabra. IVs for each stat are random and calculated when youencounter the pokemon.
EVs are effort values and they are hidden stats gained from battling. They have an impact on a particular stat and you can gain more of one stat byfighting certain types of pokemon. For example, if you wanted to raise yourattack stat, you would fight a lot of machokes and machops. You can have up to510 EV points but only 255 per stat.
-----------------------E.0.2 - Team Building Help-----------------------
So, you finished the main game, you went online and got totally stomped. Whatdo you do now? How can you get better pokemon? I am going to assume you alreadyhave a semi-diverse team because that is a pretty basic concept. You need to either pick better pokemon or raise your pokemon better.
Each pokemon has a focus area in their stats. For example, the Abra evolutionshave a very high special attack and speed. This does not mean that all abrasare good. If you get a pokemon that has low IVs in it's focus area, then that is a perfect example of a bad pokemon. Kadabra is meant to hit hard and fast soif it cannot do that because of bad IVs, it will die quickly due to lack ofdefense.
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 this iswhat I have come up with. The IVs of the spawn pokemon is somewhere in betweenor the same as the IVs of the parents. To clarify, if you breed 2 Kadabras andone parent Kadabra has a speed IV of 20 and the other has a speed IV of 25, 9
out of 10 times the spawn will have a speed IV of at least 20. About half ofthe time the IVs will be in between the two and about 1/3 of the time, the IVswill be higher than the two.
You can calculate IVs at any level but it has to be a pokemon that has not hadany battles and it should be at about lvl15. The best way to do this is tobreed two pokes, save right before you get the egg, get the egg and hatch it.Use rare candies to level it up to about 15, then check IVs. If you get crap, reset the game and get the egg again. You cannot take the egg and then savebecause the pokemon will be the same if you reset.
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 onlyusing special attacks on our Kadabra. Also, any moves that are the same type asthe pokemon using them, get STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus). Our Kadabra using a psychic move does 1.5x more damage than our kadabra using any other type ofmove. This doesn't mean we should have only psychic moves on our Kadabra thoughbecause you shouldn't need more than one type of the same move on your pokes.
Pick one move of a certain type and use that. IN-GAME you might want the extraPP and that is why you leave multiple types but online battling is a differentball game. Kadabra should have psychic because it is the most powerful psychicmove and not anything else like psybeam or confusion. The rest of it's movesshould 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 you put anew move on a pokemon.
Dusclops with Shadow Ball is ok in R/S/E/FR/LF but Dusclops with Shadow Ball inD/P = not good.
-----------------------Egg Moves
-----------------------
Egg moves are moves that a pokemon can learn through breeding. When the pokemonis hatched, it will be hatched knowing these moves. The male parent has to knowthe 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 should lookinto egg moves when deciding on the pokemon for your team to see if there isone you want before you start breeding.
Natures are very helpful in raising your pokemon. They raise one statistic by1.1x and lower another one by .9x. The nature determines which stats get raisedand 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 do notaffect stats: Hardy, Docile, Bashful, Serious and Quirky. You may want apokemon like this but this is usually not the case. You should once again picka nature that is beneficial to what you are raising. Adamant is a great naturefor a physical pokemon because it does not affect defense or speed and raisesphysical attack. Below is a chart for natures that does not include the ones Imentioned above:
If you are breeding and the mother pokemon has a nature you want then attach aneverstone to it. You then have a 50% chance of getting the same nature as theparent.
Examples of good natured pokemon:Alakazam = ModestDragonite = AdamantCrobat = Jolly
Pick a nature that works for your moveset. Sometimes it is hard to get thenature you want so do not pass up on a high IV pokemon unless the nature isreally bad. For example, I have an all-around 31 IV Alakazam that is Rash. Thatworks fine because it raises what I want and does not affect it's speed. Modestwould have been better but you take what you can get. Do not sacrifice naturefor IVs though. A perfect IV pokemon with a bad nature is usually worse than amediocre IV pokemon with a helpful nature.
-----------------------E.0.5 - Team Member types-----------------------
These are terms you might see online and also you should use them to see howwell your team is balanced. If your team is filled with all pokemon of one typethen you should consider changing it up some.
Special Sweeper - A pokemon that uses Special Attack and Speed to hit hard and fast. The goal of this pokemon is to wipe out the opposing pokemon in one hit. Sometimes a stat raising move is required like Nasty Plot or Calm Mind.
Examples of special sweepers: Alakazam, Porygon-z
Physical Sweeper - Same as a special sweeper but uses the Attack stat. Moves like Dragon Dance and Swords Dance are VERY helpful on physical sweepers.
Examples of physical sweepers: Dragonite, Garchomp, Gyarados, Metagross
Annoyer - A pokemon that inflicts status changes and weather condition
to slowly drain the opponents HP. Moves like Toxic, Confuse Ray and Will-o-Wisp are found on these pokemon.
Examples of annoyer pokemon: Crobat
Tank/Wall - A very sturdy pokemon that is hard to take out. Pokemon that have high defense or special defense fall into this category Amnesia, Cosmic Power and Iron Defense can usually be found on these pokemon. They also usually have a move like Rest so when you lower them enough, they will get HP back.
Examples of tank pokemon: Torkoal, Snorlax, Claydol
Mixed annoyer and tank - I think you know what this is.
Examples of mixed annoyers: Dusknoir, Umbreon
Mixed Sweeper - A pokemon that uses both physical and special attacks to do a lot of damage. It is meant to get the most chances at SE attacks. Mixed sweepers need to be trained carefully.
Examples of possible mixed sweepers: Dragonite, Salamance -----------------------E.0.6 - EV Training-----------------------
Ok so, after 26416418419 eggs, you have finally bred the perfect pokemon. Or,you are satisfied with whatever pokemon you got but now you want to reallymaximize it's abilities. You have decided that this pokemon has to be on yourteam and you know what it's role is. Now it is number crunching time. The firstthing you have to do is to decide what EVs you are going to give this pokemon.To decide correctly, you need to understand how EVs turn into stat gains. Putthe game down now because it is time to put your thinking cap on.
You already know that the most EVs you can have is 510 and each stat can onlytake a maximum of 255 EVs. At level 100, every 4 EVs = 1 stat point. This meansthat if you put 255 EVs into a stat, you are going to gain 63 points in thatarea. The extra 3 get thrown out. So, you shouldn't put 255 you should only put
252 because if two stats have 255 then you gain 126 stat points. However, iftwo stats have 252 EVs and one stat has 6, that is 127 stat points you haveadded to your pokemon. One stat point I know but this game is truly a game ofnumbers and every little bit counts. If you are going to put the time in anywayyou might as well maximize your effort.
This means when you are trying to figure out what EVs to give your pokemon, youshould always make them multiples of 4 when possible to have the least amountthrown out. You also need to consider your pokemon's role in your team. Hereare some EV spreads that are not completely thought out but will definetely getyour pokemon where they need to be to at least win.
You can pretty much follow this formula. Any sweeper is going to get 252 speedand 252 attack (either physical or special). Tanks/Walls should get theDusknoir spread listed above. Mixed sweepers should get EVs that even out theattack / special attack. Remember, you have ~127 points you can mix and matchon your pokemon so the more thought you put into it, the better. More advancedspreads will be talked about in the next section of the guide.
Now, that you have written down all kinds of numbers while plugging them intoyour Windows calculator and have figured out exactly what EVs you want to putwhere, you can start playing the game again. Take your freshly hatched pokemonand start pumping it full of vitamins. Vitamins help to raise your EV points to100. This is a huge time saver so be sure to start with vitamins. Your newpokemon is a physical sweeper and you have decided to go with the Gyaradosspread listed above so buy 10 proteins and 10 carbos. Each vitamin = 10 EVs.Once your EVs in a stat go over 100, you cannot use vitamins anymore. If youfought some battles by accident and have given your new pokemon 4 attack EVs,you can still give 10 proteins and your pokemon will have 104 EVs in attack.
Lets assume you have listened explicitly and have a physical sweeper with 100EVs in both attack and speed. 510-200 = 300 EVs left. You need to battlepokemon to get the rest. Certain pokemon give off specific EVs so you want tofight machops for attack and zubats for speed. Each one of those pokemon aregoing to give 1 EV. The macho brace is a very helpful item to shorten EVtraining. Attach the macho brace to a pokemon to decrease it's speed but doublethe EVs it gets. The speed decrease is removed once you remove the macho brace.You should use the counter app on your poketch to keep track of how manybattles you have had with a pokemon.
Pokerus is a very rare pokemon virus you can get. If a pokemon in your partygets it, it will infect everyone else in the party as well. Pokerus fades awayafter midnight so if you want to keep it around, take an infected pokemon andput it in your PC. Take it out only to infect your party pokemon and then putit back. Pokerus doubles the EVs like the macho brace. They stack together alsoso if you fight a machop with the macho brace and pokerus then you will gain 4EVs in attack. Pokerus is rare and you get it from defeating wild pokemon.
The last scenario is if you switch out pokemon while battling, where do the EVsgo? In general, any pokemon that gets XP from the battle, gets EVs too. For example, if your lead pokemon has Macho Brace and a party pokemon has EXP SHAREand your lead pokemon knocks out a Machop, both pokemon get EVs. The EVs arenot split up either so Machop gives off 1 Att. EV and both pokemon get 1 Att.EV. The only difference is the lead pokemon wearing Macho Brace doubles the 1EV to 2 so it really gets 2 Att. EVs. If you have a team of six pokemon and youput them all into battle against Machop and none of them are wearing EXP SHAREor the Macho Brace, then every pokemon will get 1 Att. EV.
That concludes basic EV training. You will see major stat increases when youlevel up in the areas you've EV trained. You can get the macho brace from a bugguy in Pastoria City. You need to show him the three forms of burmy to get it.See the next section of the FAQ for more info on EV training and where to youcan do it.

Battle items can transform a pokemon from a threat to a powerhouse. The right
items are very important for online battling. This section lists some veryimportant items and tells the reason why you would consider using it, what typeof pokemon benefit from it and where to get it.
=============LEFTOVERS=============
Leftovers is an item that restores 1/16th of your health at the end of everyturn. This item is used on most tanks and annoyers as a means of staying alivelonger. Leftovers helps return health lost to weather and status conditions aswell. You should try and get a few of these items but there is only oneavailable in the game. You can transfer the item from older games though. Youhave a 1% chance of getting leftovers from a pokemon who has the pickup abilityand is level 81 or higher. Leftovers can also be found on wild Munchlax and inthe Victory Road Cave.
This item keeps your pokemon from being knocked out after one hit. This willhelp immensely if you let your opponent get a couple Dragon Dances or a SwordsAttack in and they are sweeping through your team. If you have focus sash on apokemon it is weak too, you can survive the hit and finish them instead. It isquite a surprise for some players when this happens. Another use for this itemis if you put it on a pokemon that has a stat raising attack. So long as yourpokemon is faster than the opponent, you can Calm Mind or Nasty Plot withoutworrying about dying because you will have at least 1 HP left. This item isgood for weaker pokemon that can die in one hit otherwise. You can get the Focus Sash from a man west of the Pal Park. He will ask to see a pokemon of acertain level and by showing him, you have a 33% chance of getting the sash.
Pokemon: Alakazam, Porygon-Z, Ninjask

The Lum berry cures all status problems including confusion. It is good onsweeper pokemon because sometimes an annoyer will come in and try to stall youby using confusion or toxic. The lum berry will cure your problem and give youa free hit on the opposing pokemon. If you know a confuse ray or a statusproblem is forthcoming and you have the lum berry attached, you can Calm Mindor Dragon Dance and take out the opposing pokemon in one hit on the next turn.You can get berries from the Berry master and also from soil.
Pokemon: Gyarados, any pokemon
=============SALAC BERRY=============
The Salac Berry activates when your pokemon's health drops below or equal to25% of your total health. This berry increases your speed in hopes of getting afinal blow in. Some pokemon use this with moves like Endure and Belly Drum.Endure gets you another final move and the Salac Berry lets you go first. TheSalac Berry is not available in D/P and must be transferred in via Pal Park.
Pokemon: Blaziken, Charizard
=============LIFE ORB=============
This item raises your attack by about 1.3x but will take off 10% of your healthif you attack. Moves that do not do damage do not cause you to lose health. Strong pokemon can really benefit from the Life Orb. The point of this item isto do as much damage to as many pokemon as you can before the Life Orb takesyou out. You can get the life orb near Stark Mountain.
Pokemon: Dragonite, Any high attack stat pokemon
=============CHOICE BAND=============
Choice Band increases your attack by 1.5x but only lets you use the same attackover and over. Fast pokemon will be able to hit harder but you will have totake them out if the opponent switches in a pokemon who can take the damage oris not affected. This item is a battle tower prize and costs 48BP.
Pokemon: Flygon, Slaking, Aerodactyl
=============CHOICE SCARF=============
This item raises your speed but will only let you use the first attack youchoose. It helps with slower pokemon because it is completely unexpected. Theonly problem with this item is that after you use your first attack, you haveto keep using it over and over or switch out. You do not want your last pokemonto have this item held. I once got stuck EQ'ing a flying type because I had noone else left. I did take out 2 pokemon before that though so it can help whenspeed is an issue. Slow moving rock types do well with this item. You get thescarf from the Battle Tower and you need 48BP.
Pokemon: Metagross, Dragonite, Heracross, Golem
=============QUICK CLAW=============
The quick claw has a chance of making your pokemon attack first no matter it'sspeed. Some people will not allow you to use the quick claw in a battle so youmay want to find out before hand. You can get the quick claw in Jubilife City.
Pokemon: Any slow moving pokemon you want to sometimes go first.
=============CONCENTRATION BAND=============
All your physical attacks will do 10% more damage than normal. A better itemthan things like the Spell Tag or Twistedspoon which only affect a certaintype of move. Use this if you have nothing else to use on a pokemon and it is aphysical sweeper. You can get it in the Battle Tower.
=============THICK CLUB=============
If you have Marowak on your team, you have to give it this. It doubles it'sattack. It will only work on Cubone or Marowak.
In this section of the guide, I will mention specific moves that you can use tohelp out your team online. These are battle moves that you may not have used inthe story mode that will come in handy during the battles.
=============DRAGON DANCE(DD)=============
A move that raises speed and attack by 1.5 Most of the pokemon that have thisability already have a high attack and decent speed so this move can mean totaldevastation for your team. Here is a good example of when you should use a movelike this. You lose your current pokemon to a Blaziken so you send out GyaradosGyarados cuts Blazikens attack so now you choose Dragon Dance as your firstmove. The opponent is either going to attack you with a rock attack that willnot kill you because of Intimidate or they will switch out Blaziken. Either wayyou get the Dragon Dance in and are going to be faster and stronger thananything sent out.
The next few move are going to be very similar to Dragon Dance and should beused the same way. I will just mention them briefly. You should use these movesover moves like Screech and Growl because if you lower your opponents pokemon,they can just switch it out but all your stat gains will stay until you faintno matter who the opponenet sends out.
Raises your DEF and Sp. DEF by 1.5 A total tank move. You are going to takesome damage doing your power ups so you will need a move like rest to get yourhealth back.
Your pokemon can raise its stats 6 times. You can use moves that double yourstats 3 times. After that, the moves are maxed out and they will not workanymore. The next moves are going to be completely different than the oneslisted above.
=============BATON PASS (BP)=============
This move must be used in conjuction with other moves. If you just use BatonPass, it will not do anything except change your pokemon. If you use Swords
Dance and then use Baton Pass, the swords dance will be passed onto the pokemonyou switch into battle. If you are able to get a couple good stat uppers andthen BP them onto someone else on your team, you could win the entire matchafter that. I have swept a few teams doing this. Imagine BP'ing a doubledattack and a speed boost to a Metagross. It isn't pretty for your opposition.
=============HAZE=============
This move can be important if you let the opponent get in some stat changes andthere looks to be no end in sight. Haze resets all pokemon's stats back tonormal. That is of course if you can get a move in (focus sash).
=============BELLY DRUM=============
Cuts your HP in half but makes your attack stat 400% more than usual. It can behard to find the right time to use this move. Also, it needs to be a semi-fastpokemon otherwise you will die on the next hit. Using this in conjuction witha speed boost can finish your opponent.
=============SUBSTITUTE=============
A nifty little move that makes a doll out of 25% of your HP. The doll takesdamage instead of you. The doll cannot be confused or have any status changeinflicted upon it and it has the same resistance and weakness that you do. Agreat move to use if you sense a Confuse Ray or Toxic coming on. It alsoensures you aren't going to take extra damage. You can only lose 25% of yourhealth. Roar and Whirlwind will take you and your sub away. Substitute can beBP'd to another pokemon in your party.
=============SPIKES=============
This is a ground move that lays spikes around the opponents team. You can lay
spikes up to three times. When the opponent switches pokemon, they will takeground damage from the spikes. If the pokemon is flying or levitating, thespikes will not harm the opponent. This move works well in conjunction withStealth Rock, Roar and Whirlwind.
=============TOXIC SPIKES=============
Toxic spikes are very similar to regular spikes but the 1st set of spikes willinflict regular poison and the 2nd set of spikes will inflict toxic poison.Steel types are immune to toxic spikes and if you send out a poison type, thetoxic spikes are removed.
=============STEALTH ROCK=============
Stealth rock is the rock version of spikes. It can only be used once howeverput it can do a lot of damage depending on the type of pokemon that comes out.Stealth Rock will do 50% damage to a Charizard. It will do little damage tograss type pokemon. This move stacks with spikes and Skarmory can learn this,spikes and Roar. If you get them all down, your opponent start with much lowerhealth as soon as they switch in. It makes 1-HIT KO's easy.
=============RAPID SPIN=============
An attack that does little damage but can save your team. Rapid Spin removesany spikes or rocks around your team. It is especially nice if you let youropponenet place everything while you attack it and then you rapid spin alltheir hard work away. Of course you would want the pokemon you have out to haveRapid Spin because you dont want to be switching into all that. As soon as youropponenet starts placing any spikes or rocks down, switch to your rapid spinner
This section will be for any movesets that I have come up with will be. If youemail me and ask me for a moveset and I respond with an answer, I will put acopy of it in this section of the guide. Movesets are not always pass or fail.You need to use one that benefits the pokemon and your team. Do not be afraidto change things up and try out new things. These movesets are meant to behelpful if you've no idea what to do. Please remember, many of these movesetsI may not have tried myself so if you choose one and it's not working out,change it up and also consider changing your pokemon.
Dragonite has tons of moves to choose from and you can have all differentvariations of it. Dragonite even has a decent SP. ATTACK so you could considerusing it as a special sweeper. I do not condone that though as you should usewhat the pokemon's abilities are. So, I will make a couple movesets withphysical attacks in mind.
Fire and Thunder Fang help with any Ice Beamers that will take outDragonite. Choice Scarf ensures you go first against said Ice Beamers.Pick one of the Dragon Moves for STAB. AA is also on there for STAB.
Dragonite @ Life Orb/Adamant- Dragon Dance- Brick Break/Earthquake- Fire Fang/Thunder Fang- Aerial Ace/Dragon Claw
Dragon Dance here because you no longer have the scarf on. Life orb adds damageand 1 DD is going to add more damage. If you get your DD in, this is one nastydragon. If you pick EQ, then take Thunder Fang and if you pick Brick Break,take Fire Fang.
The Choice Band is going to make you use the same attack over and over so youdo not need a range of Super Effective attacks as you need to attack with thispokemon and then switch it out. This makes Outrage even more effective. Ipicked these moves because if you are stuck using any of them, you have apretty good chance that you will not get "it doesn't affect" the opponent. Theonly attack that will not damage an opponent is Brick Break against Ghost.
Salamence @ Life Orb/Concentration BandAdamant- Fire Fang- Thunder Fang- Dragon Dance/Earthquake- Outrage/Dragon Claw
A more standard one that will cover the most types of pokemon. You can get ridof Dragon Dance if you are going for a poke that does the most Super Effectiveattacks. Life Orb to add more damage to all your attacks. Concentration Banddoes less damage than Life Orb but you keep your HP so you decide.
You use Dragon Dance on the first turn to get your stats raised. The Focus Sash
ensures you stay alive unless confusion or weather affects. After the DD, yousweep as much as you can. I put EQ and BB there because they will do moredamage on pokemon that you do not have an SE attack for. The two fangs are only65 power but EQ is 100 and BB is 75.
These pokemon can be caught from attaching sweet honey to a yellow tree. If youare looking for a specific pokemon, save before you press A on the shakingtree. If you do not get what you want, restart your game and try again. Thisworked for me as I was looking for a female combee. One thing to note though,restarting does NOT change the pokemon you are going to encounter. It willchange it's stats, gender, nature and ability but it will not change a combeeinto a Munchlax. Whichever pokemon you encounter first is the one you aregoing to encounter again and again.
Combee M/F - Only female evolves to Vespiquen (about 85% chance it is male)Cherubi - GrassMunchlax - Only on the tree by the Valley WindworksBurmy - BugHeracross - Bug/FightAipom - Normal
Other pokemon can also be caught by using sweet honey but the above pokemon areONLY available by way of sweet honey. Burmy evolves into either Wormadon orMothim and it depends on the gender.

-----------------------A.0.4 - The Underground-----------------------
The undergound runs underneath most of the map of Sinnoh. You can get to theunderground from anywhere once you have the Explorer Kit. The tasks the old mangives you are easy and pretty self-explanatory so I will not go into muchdetail about them. The main reason you want to go underground is to collectthe items in the walls. When you get underground, touch the touch screen tomake yellow items appear on your map. Go to the yellow items and touch thetouch screen again. You should be able to see glittering spots in the walls.Walk up to the spot and press A to dig into it.
These fossils can be transformed into their respective pokemon at the MiningMuseum in Oreburgh City. The scientist at the counter will do it for you. Mostfossils are rare and take a lot of searching to find. Do not give up! If youget a fossil, save before you give it to the scientist and keep restarting toget a female. Breed it and put the fossil spawn on GTS for another fossil.There is also a ton of items you can get this way like heart scale, plates,evolution stones and many many more.

Now, you have to talk to 32 people in the SinnohUnderground. The catch is, Hikers do not count. You have to be by someone whohas a DS and you can connect to in the underground. The good thing is, you cantalk to the same person 32 times. So, you enter the underground, talk to yourfriend, go up go back down and talk to him again.

###############################################Evolve Pokemon that need to be traded via GTS. Submitted by Tomas T.
"A little tip I found accidently, to do with the pokemon who only evolve whentraded. I have a lot of traded pokemon, but am gradually getting rid of themwhen I get my own ones, either by capturing or breeding. Ideally breeding, Iwant as many as I can at level 1. Problem is, with Steelix, I couldn't do that.But, thanks to my fickleness, and then some experimenting, I found an excellentway to evolve your own pokemon via trades.
Go to Deposit Pokemon and offer up your pokemon for trade, for something thatno one will trade for, ie, a level 100 female Piplup. When that's done, use theSeek Pokemon to find a pokemon, any pokemon, that you can complete the tradewith. Doesn't matter what it is, as long as you have what they want. Once this trade is completed, go to Summary and take back your pokemon. It willthen evolve as if someone else had sent it to you."
