Battle Factory Win Consecutively with Rental Pokémon If you chose Turtwig or Piplup, you should have no problem with Roark. If you chose Chimchar though, you should at least go and catch a Machop on Route 207. Save your best Pokemon for Cranidos, which is Roark's strongest Pokemon. Be aware also that he will use Potions if his Pokemon are low on health, so watch out.

Then he will tell you to press the button on the Poké Ball on the touch screen of your DS. Press it, and a Buneary will come out. Then he will further explain about the Pokémon world. Then, you have to choose a gender - Male or Female. Then, name your character. For reference, I will call my character Lucas.

Talk to the Ace Trainer and once he confirms you have the eight Sinnoh Badges you can then face the Elite Four, but just remember that if you lose after passing through the doorway, you must start over. The danger here is that Mars' Level 17 Purugly is tough to beat unless if your team was well prepared beforehand. If you started with Chimchar, having it evolve into Monferno (at Lv. 14) to learn Mach Punch is useful. Intimidate users, such as Staravia or Luxio, are also helpful. Upon defeat, Mars will gather her grunts and leave the Windworks after another Commander reminds her that they've already collected enough energy from the Windworks for their plans. By now, you should have all 210 Pokémon in your Sinnoh Pokédex sighted and in Sandgem Town you can receive the National Pokédex. If not, you may have missed some. Here is a list of regional Pokémon not owned by a Trainer in Sinnoh. Pokemon Platinum is essentially an updated version of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. The core game is more or less the same, but there have been several changes and additions that make for a somewhat unique experience. So if you've played either Diamond or Pearl, this section will help get you up to speed on the biggest additions.

From here on out, Mt. Coronet is an enormous maze. You may want to use Super Repels in some areas, but the wild Pokémon are high-leveled enough to be good for training against. It would be a good idea to keep the Dowsing Machine app on the Pokétch screen, as there will be a lot of hidden items. Just outside the southern entrance of the town within the small indent to the left of the stairs (hidden)

Other features

There are a few different kinds of encounters you'll find yourself running into during your time in Pokémon, each with its own kinds of challenges. Here, you will both encounter Cyrus again, and Cynthia asks why he is so determined to create a new world. Cyrus refuses to listen. Talk to him, and he will challenge you to a battle. The Dusk Ball is the best Poké Ball variant to use in this fight, just make sure your game is set anywhere between 8:00 p.m. to 3:59 a.m to make use of its 3.5× catch rate modifier. Ultra Balls and Timer Balls can also be useful. It can take 10, 20, or even 30 Poké Balls to catch Giratina, so prepare for a long battle. Since you saved beforehand, you can turn off your game if something goes wrong and get another chance. Unlike Dialga and Palkia, Giratina's catch rate remained 3 (0.4% when using Poké Ball at full health). After Professor Rowan is up to speed on what happened at Lake Valor, he decides to send you to Lake Acuity in the far north where Barry is, believing that Barry may be in danger due to Team Galactic going there. It is time to head to Route 211 which is east of Eterna City or west of Celestic Town.

Just remember that after 10 Hall of Fame records, Barry's team will go up by 10 levels and then by 20 levels after 20 Hall of Fame records. The amount of prize money you receive is also increased by 1000, and finally 2000 when Barry's team is upgraded! Welcome to Pokémon Platinum Walkthrough! This walkthrough will guide you to the rest of your journey! Mesprit roams Sinnoh, moving every time you enter a different town or Route. On the first turn of battle, it will flee. This mission will take either patience or a Master Ball. As long as your lead Pokémon is at or below level 50, Repels can make it easier to find in the grass.
