Team Galactic being the lovely people they are, the water has disappeared fromthe lake due to what I assume was the explosion we saw earlier. Lots of poorMagikarp flopping everywhere. Though there are more things in the lake thanMagikarp. WHERE ARE THE REST, HMMMM...? There's a hidden HP Up near the hugepile of Magikarp to the left, by the way.

Go down the stairs and battle the female Galactic grunt, then go south andascend the stairs again and battle the male grunt here. Travel further tothe right and battle another male Galactic grunt, then enter the cave after.

Inside is the last of the three Galactic admins, Saturn. Battle him~

STRATEGYo-----------------------------------------------------------------------------oSaturn's hair always looks like a hat of some sort. I have no idea why but itdoes. It only looks like hair in the offical art to me... I am interested toknow why his Pokemon are female, too. Don't they normally match the trainer'sgender..?

Golbat. lolbat. Just kill it as always, it's nothing special. It has moves likeSupersonic and Air Cutter at its arsenal. So frail, so weak. Bah.

Bronzor is annoying as always. Smack it with a Fire attack if you have one,otherwise try to hit it with your strongest attacks. It rarely goes down withone hit unless it is type effective but it has little offense. Be warned thatit may have Hypnosis though.

Toxicroak, unlike Purugly and Skuntank, can actually be quite frail. Smack itwith a Psychic attack and watch it die a painful death. Alternatively, hit itwith a Ground or Flying attack to do good damage too. Or just overpower it.o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Saturn will leave afterwards. Now we need to go join Rowan and Dawn/Lucas atLake Verity - fly to Twinleaf, and head into Lake Verity to the west. Healat your house if you need to.

Rowan greets you when you enter, as well as the familiar Galactic music. Dawnis at the top (or Lucas) and we need to go join her. To do so we need to fighta few easy double battles; just work your way through the two presented. Thesecond double battle is not forced since you can fight the trainers seperatelybut you have to battle the first as a double; it's unavoidable. I must sayMurkrow seem to be quite common in Platinum now; compared to D/P where Cyruswas practically the only trainer to own one apart from some people in the LostTower or something. I miss my Murkrow and Misdreavus ;-;

When you reach the other side of the lake, talk to Mars. She'll say some stuffnobody cares about, then begin a battle. It isn't a battle with Dawn, though.

STRATEGYo-----------------------------------------------------------------------------oGolbat is identical to Saturn's. Deal with it in the same method, yadayada.

Bronzor is also identical to Saturn's. KILL IT WITH FIRE!

Purugly is still quite durable but now that you have fully evolved Pokemonyourself for the most part it should be easy. One or two Fighting attacks willcause it go down, otherwise try using strong attacks. It shouldn't do _too_much damage to your Pokemon anymore. At least it won't 2HKO them with Scratchlike it used to be able to back in the Valley Windworks all that time ago.It is very likely to use Fake Out on the first turn, but it's fair play afterit uses that. It is kinda fast, though.

You even get the same money as a reward. Wow.o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

After some really looong speech about the legendaries in the lakes, Galacticwill leave from Verity. We now need to check up on your rival at Lake Acuitywhich is far away; it's time to head for Snowpoint City and the seventh badgefar in the north. Fly to Celestic Town. By the way, you should have seenabout 146 Pokemon up to this point if you've been following this walkthrough.

Yay, fog. You can also catch Feebas in here but it is so hard to obtain it maynot be worth bothering, as cool as Milotic is. Get it from a trade perhaps.

We won't be in here long so you don't really need Defog. Break the rock rightin front of you and collect the Ultra Ball in the gap. I do wish my Psychicswere not missing three times in a row here >_>

Take the top path up, and when a staircase to go down to the right slightlypresents itself, take it. Get the obstacles out of the way and collect theSoft Sand at the end of the passage. Go back the way you came, up the stepsand this time continue heading north. Go down a staircase to the right nearthe end of the northern path and move the boulder out of the way so you cancollect a Revive. Keep going around, break the rocks, collect the Full Restore.

Go back around and down the raised rock, then break the smashable rock rightbelow the staircase and follow the passage right to a Max Elixir. Get on thewater with Surf and go around to the bottom, surfing around the large rockslab and land on the tiny island on the other side, picking up the Light Clayon it, meaning a Pokemon equipped with it can boost the durability of Reflectand Light Screen to eight turns instead of the usual five. There's nothingelse to collect in this room, so get off the water at the north again, goleft, up and right to the next floor up.

On this floor, enter the cave-inside-the-cave here. This is where Regice willbe, and you can pick up the NeverMeltIce inside for the time being. You canalso find a hidden Nugget in here if you use your dowsing machine app abouttwo squares above the NeverMeltIce.

Exit this room, then press A on the rock next to the entrance to the left toget a Yellow Shard. That is all, so exit the cave to the left.

Lovely atmosphere, calming musicand the slowest walking you will ever see in the history of Pokemon. Bah. I dolike these routes though. Very nice.

To begin with, ascend the stairs, ignore the bridge and continue to the endof the snow and in the tile right at the end to the left is a PP Up; press Awhile facing that tile to collect it. Then go across the bridge to the northside of the canyon and collect the Full Heal at the end of this snow. Crossthe bridge south and battle the Skier here. Note that the snow routes haveeternal hail weather, so all of your non-Ice types will lose 1/16 of their HPfor each turn they're in battle. This also applies to opponent Pokemon as well.

Keep going and collect the Revive, cross the bridge, descend the stairs andfight the Skier here. Then go to the right so we're going under the bridgeswe just crossed and fight the Skier you come across to add Ambipom AND theelusive Porygon2 to your PokeDex. You may also want to note that being in Hailcauses Blizzard to get 100% accuarcy, which is soemething that could come inuseful for Empoleon users because we cannot even get Ice Beam until we obtainRock Climb and get the Icicle Badge in Snowpoint City.

After the battle with the Porygon2, head back to the left and this time keepgoing left until you reach a cabin. If you haven't noticed already, there aresome pretty neat Ice-types you can get here, including Snorunt at night. Ifyou still have a Dawn Stone left over and you catch a female Snorunt, you canevolve it into a Froslass right off the bat.

On the way to the cabin, you'll need to battle another Skier. Enter the cabin,enter the bed and press A to heal your Pokemon. This place is the "PokemonCenter" of this route. Come back to it anytime you need healing.

Exit the cabin and make your way through the large grass patch to the left.Battle the Skier/Ace Trainer in the grass (I don't know what type these aredamnit D:) to add the lovely Mr. Mime to your PokeDex, as well as the creepyDusclops. Go back to the cabin now if you need to heal again, then go pastthe Ace Trainer and keep going north and you should reach Route 217.

Apparently Route 216 didn't have enough snow, so enjoy the deepest snow everas well as a lovely snowstorm! You can find exclusively Ice-types in the grasshere to the north-east, including Swinub. If you have a Heart Scale on youand you get a Piloswine, head back to the Move Tutor in Pastoria and teachPiloswine Ancientpower and watch it evolve upon levelling.

When you head up the route, Maylene will appear and talk to you for a bit.After she leaves, go north and battle the unavoidable Ace Trainer by here.He has an Electabuzz, which is pretty likely to start Thunder Waving yourPokemon. It's pretty fast, so be wary. He also has Magmar, but that isn'ta lot of trouble really. Go back to the cabin if you need to heal Paralysis.Going over to the left side of the route near the entrance should allow you tofind a hidden Revival Herb if you use the Dowsing App (thank you to a readerfor finding this!)

Afterwards, continue north. Hug the right wall, and go to collect theitem and end up being attacked by a Ninja Boy. Bah. Pick up the Ultra Ballthen battle the Skier to the right. Keep heading north, travelling through theincredibly thick snow and hugging the right wall of trees until you come to aRare Candy; pick it up. Battle the skier a little further up and keep goingnorth until you reach a house. Enter and talk to the creepy woman inside toreceive a Spell Tag, then exit and go to the left. The grass is here if youwish to catch Pokemon, and also the infamous ice rock. If you level up Eeveeanywhere on this route, it will promptly evolve into a Glaceon.

Follow the tree path around, battle the female Skier you come across to addGlaceon and Piloswine to your PokeDex, then keep heading south from there toa cabin. Pick up the HM08 Rock Climb outside it (YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS)and the TM07 Hail out the front, the enter the cabin. Talk to the hiker insideto get an Icicle Plate, then leave.

Keep going down then to the right to pickup an Iron then keep heading south-west near the entrance to the route andyou should find a Blue Shard in the snow. Also if from here you head left andthen up, you will find a small alcove blocked by trees. Press A while facingthe top left square and you will get a Nugget. You might also want to battlethe skier by here. Then hug the trees to the right around following the paththat goes in a sideways U shape and you should end up near the cabin where yougot the Icicle Plate again.

This time keep heading north, past the Skier to enter a thinner part of theroute where you can battle a Blackbelt. Keep following the path up, battlinganother Ace Trainer on the way and crossing through a large patch of grassand you should end up at Acuity Lakefront.

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

Anyway, head down and pick up the Ultra Ballon the floor to the right (there's a lot of these...) The boat becomes usefullater on. For now, head up the stairs here. The gym is right in the centerof the city, but we don't want to go there just yet. Go south-east to reachthe Pokemon Center so you can heal and bring out any new battlers you may havecaught on your travels through the snow routes. Maylene is also in the PokemonCenter but she doesn't give you anything ;-;

Exit the center when you're done. The deep snow part to the direct right of the Pokemon Gym has a hidden Rare Candy over on the far right which you canlocate with the Dowsing app. The southwest contains the PokeMart. The houseto the north-west has a trade with a Medicham for a Haunter. But unfortunatelythe silly girl has attached an Everstone to the Haunter, so you're not gettinga free Gengar that way. Pity =/

At the top of the city is Snowpoint Temple, which at present we cannot actuallyenter, but we'll be able to much later on. Finally, the top right house has thesecond move tutor of the game. Enter the gym when you're ready.

This is probably the most confusing gym puzzle in the game. It is relativelyunchanged from D/P, but it is still confusing. To begin, go up to the verytop of the snow patch you're on and slide to the right to land on the smallsnow circle. Next, slide up to break four snowballs and land on another snowthingy. Slide up to the Skier and battle him, on a unique field thingy (youdon't see this sort of shiny ice anywhere else in the game) then slide backdown onto the snow patch and slide to the right and down to the Ace Trainerto battle her as well.

Next, slide to the left to end up in front of snowballs that you aren't gettingto break yet, then slide down to return to near the start. Go left to land onanother snow patch, then slide to the left to get onto another ice patch.

Next, go up to battle an Ace Trainer, then slide left and up to another snowpatch. Then up and right to reach another one and slide down from there toreach get another snow patch. Slide to the right to break a snowball andend up on some stairs. Slide to the right then down to battle another Ace Trainer, then slide left onto the stairs, right into the wall and down ontoa snow patch.

Next, slide to the left to break another snowball and end up on the stairs.Go left and up to get another snow patch, then slide right to break a secondsnowball. Go right and down onto the same snowpatch, go left twice into theopposite wall, then this time go down, left, down, left, up to end up in frontof the Ace Trainer you battled already. From there, slide left, up and this time slide to the right down the slope to break five snowballs.

Slide right into the wall, up into the wall, left into the Ace Trainer, downinto another ice trainer, left onto stairs, right and down onto a snow part,left and left into a wall, down left down left onto more snow then slidedown again and then right onto the starting snow.

[We can actually access Candice now, but I'm going to guide you to the othertrainers for the experience first.]

From there, go to the very top of the safe snow and then slide to the left,

From there, slide to the right to break another snowball, up, left,down, left, down, right onto the safe snow. Then go on the top line of snow,slide to the right onto the snow patch, then slide up onto the snow patchon the other side of the gym and slide left to battle the last trainer in thegym.

Finally, slide down onto the other side of the gym, right onto the safe snow, then position your character in the center of the three squares of snow on thetop row and keep sliding up until you reach Candice. Save and challenge.


[ GYM LEADER CANDICE ]o-----------------------------------------o|- Battle for the Icicle Badge! - ||-----------------------------------------|| :: Sneasel Female Lv. 40 EXP: 1131|| :: Piloswine Female Lv. 40 EXP: 1371|| :: Abomasnow Female Lv. 42 EXP: 1926|| :: Froslass Female Lv. 44 EXP: 1762| - @Sitrus Berryo-----------------------------------------oReward: $5280, Icicle Badge, TM72 Avalanche

STRATEGYo-----------------------------------------------------------------------------oDue to the influx of Ice-types Platinum has had, Candice now sports a fullyice team rather than the team she had before with Medicham and something elsethat wasn't Ice-typed.

Sneasel is fast and frail as always. Smack it with a strong attack and watchit die. I don't recommend trying to use something like a Gardevoir against itbecause Faint Attack will do a _lot_ of damage. Candice does have Hyper Potionsthat she will use on Pokemon in red health as well. AND IT IS POSSIBLE FORHER TO SWITCH! She swapped from Sneasel to Abomasnow when I was trying to usewater attacks, for example.

Piloswine is the same as every other one you've faced. While it does have someattack power, it is not too strong overall, but that's probably why it got anevolution this generation. It probably has Avalanche, which has a large 180base power when it attacks last due to STAB and the power being doubled sowatch out for that. A Fire, Water or Fighting move will probably shut it downthough.

Her sending Abomasnow into the battle will automatically start a Hail in thearena because of Snow Warning, so be prepared for your health to be chippedaway. Abomasnow, despite appearances, is actually not all that durable havingno base stats above 100. A fire attack will completely mutilate it, and Flyingand Fighting attacks, as well as Rock, Bug etcetera will also be very good.Ice/Grass is probably one of the worst typings in the game... Be warned thatAbomasnow does have Focus Blast to try and deal with Steel-types, but it israther inaccurate.

Froslass, now being in the Sinnoh Dex, is now Candice's "main" Pokemon insteadof Abomasnow. Froslass is a new evolution of Snorunt and is quite fast with a110 base speed, but it sacrifices some defenses for this new stat arrangement.It is Ice/Ghost type but other Ghost types probably won't work too well againstit because it sports the Shadow Ball move. Using a Fire Pokemon is probably thebest bet, or a Dark Pokemon. Houndoom is perfect for this. Alternatively youcan try a Rock move. Don't bother with Fighting because it will not affect it.Froslass also has Double Team to raise its evasion, so FINISH IT QUICKLY!o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Just one more badge to get now. But we have a loooooooong chain of events togo through before we can get to Sunyshore City. Exit the gym, heal up and headout for Acuity Lakefront.

Acuity Lakefront-----------------Items: Reaper Cloth

Backtrack to where we saw the rival on the Rock Climb ledge before. Make sureone of your Pokemon know the Rock Climb move, and climb up the ledge, nowthat we can use Rock Climb. Pick up the Reaper Cloth over to the right, thenenter the lake.

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

First, head for Route 213. Use Rock Climb to get up onto the highly raisedplatform and collect the TM05 Roar. Also if you use the Dowsing App, you canfind a HP Up hidden near here. Descend the platform and go around to theplatform where the beach resort is. Surf on the water here over to a smallbeach and use Rock Climb to climb up. Rock Climb to the left first and talk tothe Rich Boy in here to get the Coin Toss app for your Poketch. (Thanks toMBKilla for the HP Up thing.)

Next, exit the house and Rock Climb down and pick up the Protein by here.Rock Climb back up, TO THE LEFT, TAKE IT BACK NOW YA'LL ONE HOP THIS TIME-

Ahem, climb back up from where you got the Protein, then climb down to the right, rock climb upwards north twice and collect the Sun Stone hidden in thepiece of wall you can press A on here. Go back to the house where you got theCoin Toss app and Rock Climb up to reach the main part of the resort.

Bike over to the top left near the house with the Game Freak employee and godown the well hidden Rock Climb path two squares from the right of the house.Go down the next one, Rock Climb back up the hard to see path to the right,go across, back down, Rock Climb to the right and pick up the Iron and theTM85 Dream Eater waiting here.

Lake Valour is still as dry as ever. However, the water level in Lake Verityhas risen enough to Surf. Travel to the bottom left corner of the lake and gothrough the grass, picking up the TM38 Fire Blast located here.

Next, fly to Solaceon Town. Go up into Route 210 North, and descend down theRock Climb path to the right near the pacing Ace Trainer duo and the trainer onthe highest part of the route. Rock Climb up the other side and battle the forced battle with the Dragon Tamer by here.

Just to the north-east of the Dragon Tamer is Grandma Wilma's house. If youtalk to her with a happy Dragon-type Pokemon in your party she can teach itthe move Draco Meteor. This could be helpful if you trained an Altaria...

Collect the Zinc just south of the house, then go over to where the DragonTamer was and find the staircase near the Rock Climb part. Go down there,press A one step from the end of the path and find a hidden Shiny Stone!

Afterwards, fly to Hearthome City. When you get there, go to Route 208 and travel to just before the entrance to Mt. Coronet. Go around the bridges anddescend the stairs and Rock Climb up here to battle a Hiker. Break the rockup here, get in the space it was in and press A while facing the left wallto get a Star Piece.

Next, fly to Jubilife City. Go into the Poketch building (the one with theflags with the top left) and talk to the president next to the counter (theone wearing purple with brown hair) three different times to receive threedifferent Poketch apps.

Next, fly to Celestic Town. Go into Route 211, break the rocks on the raisedplatform and climb up. Collect the Psychic TM up here. Afterwards, descend byRock Climbing, enter Mt. Coronet and go to Route 216. On the way, before yougo up the stairs from the basement in the foggy area, bring out the DowsingApp just before you go up the stairs to get a hidden Rare Candy. Continuetravelling for Route 216.

In the snowy route, head left through the canyon. Keep going until you seea Rock Climb path on the canyon's right hand wall. Go up it. Head to the right,battle the Blackbelt then the two Skiers. Continue to the right, pick up theMental Herb, keep going to the right and pick up the HP Up by the north wall.Fight the Skier then grab the item down south - a Max Potion. Then go and getthe Ice Beam TM on the far right!

Next, fly to Veilstone. Go around to near the gym and Rock Climb up here andget the Full Incense to allow you to breed Munchlax.

Fly to Oreburgh City and descend to B1F of the gate. Surf across the wateragain and this time move the boulder out of the way with Strength. Pick up theEarth Plate then go north, break the rock, move the boulder and collect TM01,Focus Punch. Exit the gate.

Fly back to Veilstone. Heal up, then go to the top right of Veilstone. Talkto the grunt here to get him to leave, and Looker will appear and come talk toyou again. He'll tell you to go to the warehouse; do so. It's the place we gotFly before, in the top left of the city. ===============================================================================[064] GALACTIC WAREHOUSE [MW064]===============================================================================Items: Dusk Stone, Zinc, TM49 Snatch, Dubious Disc, TM36 Sludge Bomb, GalacticKey, TM21 FrustrationTrainers' Pokemon: Golbat L41, Houndour L38, Murkrow L40, Glameow L41,Glameow L37, Croagunk L39, Murkrow L38, Stunky L41, Murkrow L39, Stunky L39,Kirlia L40, Kadabra L40

Looker will come in with you and unlock the door for you. He'll rush in ahead.Grab the Dusk Stone by here (which is utterly useless because both Murkrow andMisdreavus are not in the game unless you trade...) and then descend the stairsto the bottom floor.

The headquarters have some pretty cool music and a shadowy atmosphere of sorts.Head to the right and battle the forced grunt. Sally forth, grab the Zinc in the alcove when you come across it, then continue heading to the right. Battleanother grunt (prepare for a lot of these) and ascend the stairs at the end.

The grunt here won't battle you. Silly fool doesn't even have a Pokemon. Go upthe stairs and prepare for warp hell. Battle the female grunt here then takethe right teleporter and grab the Snatch TM in here. Reverse and this time usethe left teleporter.

Take the other teleporter in this room then go up the stairs. Battle the grunthere and then go up the stairs again. I find myself wondering why Mars is theonly Galactic member to have a Purugly when so many Glameow are capable ofevolving. Hm.

On the upper floor, battle the grunt over to the left and continue around thecorridor. Battle the dashing grunt on the lower part, then continue to reach...a locked door. We'll come back here in a minute.

Go back downstairs and this time take the teleporter. Go downstairs and battlethe scientist and grab the Dubious Disc, meaning you can get Porygon-Z now!Descend the stairs by here.

Grab the Sludge Bomb TM and the Galactic Key on the floor. Now, go back to theupper floor, go up another floor, take the teleporter, go up again and aroundthe corridor to the locked door. Open it with the key and take the TM21 insidethat contains Frustration.

Descend downstairs again and go back to where you found the key. Open the doorhere, go left, down, upstairs and exit the hideout into the main city.

Now, go to the building we saw the Galactic grunt and Looker outside before.Go in via the middle door, open the door here with the key and go upstairs.

Battle the two galactic grunts over to the right either seperately or togetherthen continue down the corridor. Enter the boxed area, battle the scientistwith a Porygon2 then jump on the teleporter.

You get to see a little event with Cyrus talking to the galactic members, withyou and Looker hiding in the corner. They'll all mysteriously leave withoutseeing you afterwards and Looker will too.

Go back to the previous room, go out of the box and take the bottom teleporter.Go across the corridor to another teleporter, and pick up a Max Revive. Returnto the original room and this time take the upper teleporter. Grab the GreenShard in here, then go back to the conference room.

This time go across the room and take the teleporter. Go in the right bed andpress A to find a Poke Doll. Seems one of the Galactic members was sleepingwith this...? Press A again to get an option to heal your Pokemon. I wouldn'tfeel safe sleeping in the enemy base personally, but there we go.

Use the bottom left teleporter now and go up the stairs. Welcome to the topfloor. You might notice Cyrus is on the other side of these locked doors. Saveif you wish, and open the door. Once you go in a bit, he will notice you. Somedialogue, and then a battle will commence. With the best music in the game!Well, one of the best anyway. Battle~


[ GALACTIC BOSS CYRUS ]o-----------------------------------------o|- Save the legendary trio! - ||-----------------------------------------|| :: Sneasel Male Lv. 44 EXP: 1243|| :: Crobat Male Lv. 44 EXP: 1923|| :: Honchkrow Male Lv. 46 EXP: 1842| - @ Sitrus Berryo-----------------------------------------oReward: $8280

STRATEGYo-----------------------------------------------------------------------------oSneasel is the same as always. It has Screech to lower your defenses and avery powerful Ice Punch as well. It should go down fairly easily, especiallyif you have an Empoleon. It has Slash and Ice Punch in its arsenal, neitherof which are particuarly effective aginst Steel-types.

Crobat is an incredibly fast Pokemon. It has Bite to ward off Psychics andGhosts, and it is probably capable of confusing your Pokemon as well. It isfairly frail luckily and will die to one or two Psychic/Electric/Rock attacksbut be careful with it despite that.

Honchkrow has a sexy hat. You can't beat that. Game over for you. In reality,Honchkrow has somewhat weak defenses, but very strong attacking power. I sentout Staraptor against it personally for a bit of a Flying battle, but the bestPokemon to sent out against it would probably be a Rock type. It has Drill Peckas its main attacking move and with 120 base power it can do quite a fair bit.It's safe to assume it has a Dark-type attack as well, so do not attempt to usea Ghost/Psychic Pokemon against it or it will _not_ end well. Cyrus also hasone Full Restore to use, completely healing a Pokemon's HP as well as thestatus. Luckily he only has one of these. Honchkrow will go down in fair time.You know, I thought Weavile was Cyrus' main Pokemon, but I guess not? We'll seesoon enough anyway.o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

After the battle Cyrus will surprisingly give you a Master Ball! He'll leaveafterwards. Go in the direction he left and take the teleporter (the one thatis behind the desk is just into the conference room. There's nothing of worthin there.

I have heard one report that there is in actuality a hidden RAZOR CLAW in here!This will allow you to get Weavile much earlier if you're training a Sneasel

This is the creepy part of the hideout. Pick up the Full Restore next to theyellow boxes then keep going on into the room where the trio are being kept.Saturn is in here; talk to him to challenge him one final time. Pluto is alsoin the room with Saturn, but he doesn't battle you like always.


[ GALACTIC ADMIN SATURN ]o------------------------------------------o|- One final hit for the legends! - ||------------------------------------------|| :: Golbat Female Lv. 42 EXP: 1539 || :: Bronzor Gndrlss Lv. 42 EXP: 648 || :: Toxicroak Female Lv. 44 EXP: 1705 | - @Sitrus Berryo------------------------------------------oReward: $3520

STRATEGYo-----------------------------------------------------------------------------oSaturn is practically the same as last time, just a little higher levelled.You can use identical tactics to last time and come out of this battle smellinglike a rose. It is really very easy. Two die to Psychic, the other to fire.o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Afterwards you'll be able to push the button, releasing the trio. Saturn willleave and we must now follow suit. Exit the creepy part of the hideout, thenfrom the yellow teleporter go down into the newly accessible area with the green teleporter for a free ride down to the exit. Exit the building and flyto Orebrugh City.

When you get there, heal your Pokemon, then go into Mt. Coronet from the Route207 entrance.

This time go north on the platform and go down the stairs, then go south andfollow the path to get the Rock Slide TM. Then go north, picking up the MaxRevive on the way, but try and be careful not to slip down the ledges.

When you approach the broken down door, Looker will appear again and aftersome dialogue will just stay there. Weird. He will also give you a new item,the Black Flute which will decrease the chance of Wild Pokemon appearing. Theflute never breaks, either, so it will come in useful a lot.

Enter the formed entrance from the wood being broken, and go up the stairs inhere.

We can't explore this fully yet, but battle the Galactic grunt up the top thenuse Rock Climb to get down. Travel across this part by going right, go up thestairs, go left, up again, right and check the rock for a Green Shard.

Go back to where you first Rock Climbed and climb down the well hidden path that goes down northwards. Go down to the bottommost part and start breakingthe rocks so that you can get through. Also, break the rock right at the topof this rocky passage and check the revealed rock for a Heal Powder (use theDowsing App if you have trouble finding it.) Go down the short stairs and breakone of the rocks and check the revealed rock for a Stardust.

There is a Rare Candy by the spinning grunt, too, probably hidden. I can'tactually remember where said grunt is at the moment, but it should be aroundthere.

Next, use the Rock Climbable platform to go up (the lower passage is blockedby a Galactic grunt for the time being.) Go up the stairs then down, break the rock, take its position and check the wall to get a Green Shard. Then goup, around battling the grunts until you reach the Rock Climbable part youfirst went down. Use it and exit this cavern.

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

STRATEGYo-----------------------------------------------------------------------------oTwo Bronzor come out to start the battle. If you want the rival to be usefulyou may actually want to kill the Munchlax because it does nearly nothing apartfrom adding itself to your PokeDex if you didn't see the one back in the cafeon Route 210. TAKE CARE OF THE BRONZOR FAST, or they WILL start confusing andsleeping your Pokemon. Fire is the best method as always.

The Golbat aren't much of a problem in comparison though they are armed withpowerful attacks such as Sludge Bomb. They'll die to Psychic, Ice, Electricetcetera as per usual.o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

After the battle, the rival will heal your Pokemon and leave. Time for a fancycutscene! Cyrus will use the Red Chain and cause both Dialga and Palkia to appear atop Spear Pillar, causing an earthquake as they appear.

However, the legendary trio come to save the day! Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf makea special cut-scene appearance and begin to fly over Mt. Coronet with theirrespective colours, calming Dialga and Palkia down and preventing the worldfrom being harmed.

Then all of a sudden it gets dark and black puddles appear in the floor. A creepy red Pokemon comes out of the ground - Giratina! Spilling shadow, itgets ready to strike Cyrus, and swoops towards him! The screen blacks outand when it comes back, a mysterious portal is left behind.

Cynthia will come now and talk to you, noting the distortion in the ground.You'll see Uxie and Azelf go in and Mesprit will come out of its light and show you to come inside. Say yes to Cynthia, and you two will follow suit.And thus, we enter the Distortion World.

Now if this isn't just the most funky thing. Lovely colours, serene music forthe most part, and a very weird atmosphere. Except plenty of physic defiancehere, for we shall be walking in all directions. There are no Wild Pokemon herebut there is one battle, and Giratina is waiting for you right at the end ofthe Torn World - but be warned, it isn't as short as you may be thinking. Itcan easily last about half an hour at the very least. It is basically completeplatforming in a Pokemon game. I reckon it's been done very well.

Giratina will fly across the 'sky', shocking both the player and Cynthia.Cynthia will leave after a bit. Follow her to where she goes (you can actuallyjump over the gap here) and go in the center to find out it is actually an elevator. It'll go down and now you can jump across the floating platforms.

Once you reach proper land and go forward a bit, Mesprit will appear, and gooff. It wants you to follow it - walk to the left, push left and watch as youdefy physics for the first time! The controls are the same otherwise; walk tothe other side where the depression is, and press down to return to the normaldirection. The isometric feel is pretty cool though.

Cynthia will leave after a bit. Follow her to where she goes (you can actuallyjump over the gap here) and go in the center to find out it is actually an elevator. It'll go down and now you can jump across the floating platforms.

Once you reach proper land and go forward a bit, Mesprit will appear, and gooff. It wants you to follow it - walk to the left, push left and watch as youdefy physics for the first time! The controls are the same otherwise; walk tothe other side where the depression is, and press down to return to the normaldirection. The isometric feel is pretty cool though.

Follow the path here and jump across more platforms to get to an elevator andstand in the depression in the center to go down. Jump to the square ahead.This is an elevator with four choices of direction. Step on the top one to getsent forward, then on this new platform go to the left depression and pressleft to get onto a sideways platform that Cynthia is waiting on.

Talk to her and she'll move, letting you through. Go to the other side andjump off the sideways part then send the elevator to the right. Send the newone to the right again, then send the next one south. Send this one to theleft, then jump north to the next platform and stand on the top one to getsent down slightly.

Now, go to the right with this platform, and you will arrive on an elevator.Stand in the center to go down. Then stand on the depression on the bottomside and platforms will appear; jump on them and keep going and Cyrus willappear! He will talk to you a little bit, then leave. Keep going south untilyou come to a crossroads, then head to the right and directly up. Standing ona depression with the platform already there causes it to disappear, so manypaths are in reality unaccessible. The top right one does not already havea platform so you will be able to cross. Do so, and on the new platform goforward slightly and then go down on the shorter path, standing on the hole tomake a platform appear.

Cross this one to the other side, then on this T shaped one jump off the baseto another elevator and stand in the middle to make it go down. Jump onto theobvious floating platforms to more land with weird plants, then go down and tryto jump off the ledge to have Uxie to appear. It will move up to the boulder and then disappear again.

Jump off the ledge, activate Strength and move the boulder into the hole.Then jump off the bottom end onto an elevator and step into the depression to make it go down. Jump off the ledge on the left side to the main platformand get to the boulder on the north side. Push it into the hole that Uxie ishovering next to. Pushing it into the wrong one means you will have to cyclearound again to get the boulder. So, make sure to PUSH IT INTO THE HOLE UXIEIS NEXT TO, and it should stick. Uxie will be happy and fly away. Go over tothe far left and follow the thin path in a right angle to find Cynthia again.Talk to her, but she won't move this time. Go back to the elevator and take itback up again.

Now, jump off the left, go around to the boulder and push it down the hole,but not before Mesprit makes an appearance and dances for joy. It'll guide youto where to put the boulder and as I said, it is to push it down the hole. Do so, then take the path around to another elevator and take it up.

Jump off to the left, follow the path up north (some of the obstacles willvanish when you get near them, allowing you access) and Giratina will make anappearance again as you keep going. Remember that you can go behind some ofthe plants, even if it looks like you might not be able to until you actuallydo it. Eventually, you'll reach another elevator. Take it up again.

Jump off to the left, then go down to make a platform appear and cross it tothe other side. Go over to the right to make another one appear, cross it,then on this T shaped one jump off the base and activate the elevator to godown. You'll see Cyrus walking; but he leaves soon afterwards. Surf across thewater, begin to walk forward and Giratina will appear again. Keep going forwardto find that a sideways platform has presented itself.

Go onto it, cross it to the top then cross onto the platform on the ceiling -you're now completely upside-down! Go around and Surf on the water, then descend the sideways waterfall. It's quite long but you get a nice view of theDistortion World as you go (Torn World was such a better name...) Once you'reable to Surf again, go north and left onto dry land. Azelf will appear now,

Azelf will appear now,directing you with the last boulder.

Follow its wishes and push the boulder down this gap. Go around the platformand jump off the end to end up on the original elevator we were on. Jump overthe first ledge and activating it (be careful you don't jump over the otherledge as well, or you'll have to do all of that again!) Descend the elevator,then go over to the west and push the boulder into the westernmost hole thatMesprit is hovering by. Mesprit will be happy and fly away.

Next, head over to the east. Push this boulder into the westernmost one too -namely, the one Azelf is hovering by and the one the boulder starts right nextto. Once you push it down, Azelf will also disappear. Go back to where Cynthiais now and talk to her.

A new elevator will reveal itself. Now is a very good time to save your game.Do so, then get on the elevator and descend. You'll be able to see Cyrus froma distance - Cynthia will notice him and jump off. This is your last chance tosave before a battle now, so do so if you haven't already.

Then, jump off the elevator. Walk forward behind Cynthia, then Cyrus will pushher out of the way, blocking her access forward. Okay, I lied, THIS is your last chance to save before the battle now.

When you're ready, talk to Cyrus. Your Pokemon should be fully healed fromwhen your rival healed them, luckily. Talk to Cyrus to begin the final battlewith him in the game. This is also the last time we get to hear the music.

Houndoom is frail. However, it does have Will-O-Wisp to burn your Pokemon,so be careful if you choose to send slow Physical attackers against it becauseburn will half the attack power of a Pokemon.

Gyarados is as annoying as always. Annoyingly hard to take down if you don'thave an Electric or Rock attack to use. Hopefully you have an Electric attack

Gyarados is as annoying as always. Annoyingly hard to take down if you don'thave an Electric or Rock attack to use. Hopefully you have an Electric attackto use, but if you don't then whack it with your strongest attacks possible.It gives a massive amount of EXP when you finish it off, which is nice. Gyarados is equipped with Waterfall, which makes use of its high attack statand Water-typing. That will be its main offense. Cyrus also has a Full Restorewhich he will use on any particuarly weakened Pokemon, Gyarados included.

Crobat is pretty much the same as last time. Fast and loves to status. It hasToxic to badly poison your Pokemon as well, so be wary. Luckily it is quitefrail and will die quite easy to its weaknesses as per usual. It also has theincredibly annoying Confuse Ray. It isn't really tough, just VERY annoying.

Honchkrow will fall to similar attacks as it did last time. Be warned that ithas HEAT WAVE! Apparently he went to see the Move Tutor at some point. Eitherway it means it will easily kill any Steel-types you have apart from Empoleonwho negates the Fire weakness with its Water-typing. I'll also take this chanceto mention that Cyrus has two Full Restores rather than one. Honchkrow is alsocapable of using Night Slash and is quite fast, so don't expect any non-Abraline psychics to outspeed it before immiment death, or near to. Well, I wouldsay that, but my L46 Gardevoir outsped it... Come to think of it, it is slowerthan Murkrow. Murkrow has 97 base and Honchkrow only has 79 I think. Bah.

Weavile, like Sneasel before it, will go down to a fairly strong attack. Ithas a huge weakness against Fighting-type moves and it also has little it cando to pierce Steel. Weavile has Fake Out as well, meaning it will very likelyjust flinch your Pokemon on the first turn it comes out. Its arsenal consistsof Night Slash and Ice Punch, both of which are very strong moves off its129 base attack. Luckily it doesn't seem to have Brick Break. Houndoom willalso do quite well against it for the most part, but be warned Weavile is VERYfast. Not Electrode fast, but faster than Alakazam, Sceptile and such. Weavilehas also been upgraded to Cyrus' main Pokemon now. I thought it would be...o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Cyrus will leave after you defeat him and Cynthia will heal your Pokemon. Nowwe face another challenge - Cynthia will take you forward and tell you to goforward. Do so, and the screen will zoom in again. Giratina will fly below;take another step and a bunch of platforms will appear. On the second one,Giratina will fly under you quickly. Jumping on the third one causes the screento get much darker and Giratina will come up right next to you. Save now,and engage it in a fight.

STRATEGYo-----------------------------------------------------------------------------oGiratina enters the battle by flying down rather than coming from a Pokeball,as per what should happen. It has no platform either; they were pretty good atmaking sense with this. Giratina also has some of the best battle music in thewhole of the Pokemon series if you ask me, tied with like Pokemon Stadium 1'sMewtwo battle, the Emerald Frontier Brain music, the RSE Elite Four and such.Regi music was also really good too - they even have a remix of that in PokemonPlatinum! But it's event only, so bleh.

Anyway, Giratina in Origin Forme has reduced defenses than it did as the normalforme we're used to (Another Forme) but it has increased offenses in return.

But it's event only, so bleh.

Anyway, Giratina in Origin Forme has reduced defenses than it did as the normalforme we're used to (Another Forme) but it has increased offenses in return.Giratina sports the move Shadow Force causing it to disappear for a turn andyou cannot throw a Pokeball at it during the turn it disappears - or you willget the message: "It's no good! It's impossible to aim at a Pokémon that's notin sight!" Try it yourself and see. It works fine for Dig and Fly though. Hm...

Giratina has weaknesses to Ghost, Ice and Dark attacks. No attacks will cause awhole lot of damage to it but you need to work at chipping away its health.Empoleon is decent for this because it resists all of Giratina's moves and itcan cause a fair bit of damage with Ice Beam. At least it resists Shadow Forceand Ancientpower for sure. If you're lucky enough you may even get to freezeit like I did! /brag

The best balls to use for this are Dusk Balls. The Master Ball isn't really worth using on Giratina unless you're capable of importing more Master Ballslater via Pal Park, because Giratina is one of the only three legends you haveto capture before the National Dex. Uxie and Azelf are the other two. Mespritdoes need to be seen but not captured since it runs around Sinnoh.

Dusk Balls are most certainly your best bet. Normal-types also resist two ofGiratina's moves (Ominous Wind and Shadow Force) so they will be quite usefulstallers. Get Giratina to as low health as possible, status it if possible andstart throwing the Dusk Balls. Giratina has a very low capture rate (3) so itwill take a fair bit of effort. Giratina also has Dragon Claw which affectseverything and will deal a fair bit of damage. Only use the Master Ball if youabsolutely _have_ to.o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Once you finally catch it, a portal will appear in place of it. Cyrus will makeone more appearance, announcing his intentions to stay in the Torn World. Wewon't be hearing from him again after this. Cynthia blocks your way back,so the only way to go is out through the portal... Inspect it and click yes.===============================================================================[069] DISCOVER THE PSYCHIC TRIO [MW069]===============================================================================Sendoff Spring---------------Items: N/ATrainers' Pokemon: N/A

You will appear outside Turnback Cave, Giratina's old lair in Diamond and Pearl- so you are in the Sendoff Spring. Cynthia prevents you going through thoughand will continue to do so until we get the National Dex. Use Rock Climb andget up the wall and start making your way through the grass to get back to Route 214. You might find some nice Pokemon on your way. Alternatively, youcan just fly back to Sandgem Town now since there are no items in the spring.
