Frequently asked questions

What's to 'soft reset' and how do I do it?
To soft reset is to reset your game without turning your DS off and on again. Just press L+R+Start+Select at anytime and your game will reset.

How do I get SHINY Pokémon?
Shinies appear randomly, either in the wild or via eggs. Any Pokémon without set characteristics can be shiny, including starters. The chance to get one is about 1/8192. The chances do not increase if you breed two or more shinies with each other.

What are the orange dots trailing me on the Sinnoh Town Map?
The orange dots indicate your recent movements between areas. There are five dots that mark the places you've moved between.

Where is the 3rd gym leader? She won't go back to her gym!
Fantina isn't the 3rd gym leader. You must proceed from Hearthome and arrive at Veilstone City – the third leader is there. Fantina is the 5th leader – she does not arrive until you learn about Sinnoh's history in the Celestic Town Shrine.
In Pokémon Platinum, you can battle her as soon as you arrive in Hearthome.

Why do I need the National Dex? How do I get it? How do I get to the remaining parts of Battle Zone?
The National Dex is required to capture the remaining legendaries, and see Pokémon that can be collected when Game Boy Advance games are inserted in Slot . It is required to get into further areas of Battle Zone as well. You can get the National Dex after seeing 150 Sinnoh Pokémon (Manaphy, Sinnoh Dex's 151st Pokémon, is not included) by visiting Professor Rowan's lab.
In Pokémon Platinum, you need to see all 210 Pokémon in the new Sinnoh dex, Manaphy's data can be obtained, after beating the Elite Four, from the book on Mr. Backlot's desk. (on Route 212)

How do I get the Poké Radar?
You must have already obtained the National Dex (see above). By visiting Professor Rowan's lab, Professor Oak will visit and give you the Poké Radar.

I can't catch Dialga or Palkia in my game to complete my Sinnoh Dex! Where do I find it?
After you see all 150 Sinnoh Dex Pokémon, the old lady living in a house right atop the Celestic Town Shrine will show you a picture of the Pokémon you need. Either Dialga or Palkia will then be registered into your Sinnoh Dex.
In Pokémon Platinum you can catch both Dialga and Palkia after beating the Elite Four.

How do I get my Pokémon from Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, LeafGreen or Emerald onto Diamond or Pearl? How do I get to Pal Park?
Read the instruction manual yet? You should have the National Dex first. Then, go to Pal Park at Route 221 and learn about it there. To upload a Pokémon from a GBA game into your DS card, connect a GBA cartridge into Slot 2 of your Nintendo DS. On the main menu, you are given the option to download Pokémon from your game. This only works with Pokémon GBA games that have the same language as your DS game. The Pokémon you download into Pal Park will be taken off the Game Boy Advance game and will not be transferable back into your old game.

Remember you can't transfer Pokémon from Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver or Crystal in any way to Diamond, Pearl or Platinum.

Where do I get Eevee?
Bebe, the PC System owner, is sent an Eevee from a friend from Johto after you get the National Dex. Her house is next to Hearthome's Pokémon Center. Eevee can also be found in the mansion backyard at Route 212.
In Pokémon Platinum, you can get Eevee as soon as you arrive in Hearthome.

How do I get Eevee's new evolutions?
To evolve Eevee into Leafeon (grass-type), go to Eterna Forest. You'll see a strange rock near the exit to Eterna City, the Moss Rock. Level up Eevee near the rock and it should evolve into Leafeon immediately. In the case of Glaceon (Ice-type), go to Route 216, and you'll see another similar rock at the north. Again, level up Eevee there, too, to evolve it into Glaceon.

I need to track Mesprit and Cresselia!
The Pokétch's "Marking Map" app is used to track them down. Talk to the Pokétch Company's president to obtain the app.

Where do I get my Friend Code?
Once you have beaten the first Gym Leader in Oreburgh, go down to the basement of the Pokémon Center. Teala, the attendant at the basement, will explain the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection system and give you a Pal Pad. After connecting to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for the first time, your Friend Code will be assigned to you, which you can see if you open the Pal Pad and choose the respective option.

Where do I find the Move Deleter?
The Move Deleter is located in Canalave City (the city with the harbour), in the house below the Pokémon Center.

Where do I find the Move Tutor?
The Move Tutor is located in Pastoria City (where the Great Marsh is), in the house next to the little lake. A Heart Scale is required for the exchange of teaching your Pokémon a move. Some Pokémon can additionally learn attacks such as ThunderPunch and Fire Fang.

Where do I find the Name Rater?
The Name Rater is located in the tall building, next to the Pokémon Mart in Eterna City.

HELP! My Pokémon has a :| smilie in its stat screen!

Legendary Pokémon

Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum

Dialga or Palkia

You should bring Poké Balls before you arrive at Spear Pillar. You will encounter Dialga or Palkia depending on what version of Pokémon you have once Team Galactic's Boss awakens it. Your rival will arrive to heal your Pokémon, but you should have items prior to climbing the mountain. Dialga or Palkia are found at Level 47.

Mesprit, Azelf, Uxie

After battling against Dialga or Palkia, these Pokémon are located at Sinnoh's three lakes. All three are found at Level 50 in the caves of the lake. Mesprit runs away and must be tracked with by the Marking Map app (see the Pokétch Company's president for the app).

Heatran

Once obtaining the National PokéDex, you will be able to access the entire island of "Battle Area", which can be accessed by taking a boat from Snowpoint City. Between Survival Area and Resort Area is Stark Mountain, where Heatran may be found.

As you browse Stark Mountain, you team up with Buck, a trainer owning Claydol. Help him through the mountain's largest crater until you reach the northern exit. There, he'll pick up an item and leave.

Buck will be staying at a house in Survival Area. Speak to him for a moment before he runs off again. Heatran will appear at the northern end of Hard Mountain, waiting for a battle.

Regigigas

There is a temple in Snowpoint City made inaccessible if you don't have a National Dex. Once you do, you can enter it. Bring Regirock, Regice and Registeel with you. Browse down the temples of the floor until you find him. He will only battle if you have the legendary trio with you.

To battle Regigigas, you need Regirock, Regice, & Registeel in your party (which means that you have to transfer them over via Pal Park first). Once you do that, you can enter the Snowpoint Temple and go through a few ice puzzles to reach Regigigas. The first puzzles are easy, and get increasingly harder as you reach Regigigas. It will be at Level 70, but has the trait Slow Start, cutting its Attack & Speed in half for a few turns, so use that to your advantage. If you don't have the other Regis then Regigigas will still be there, but it will be asleep and unfightable.

Giratina

When browsing Route 214 (south of Veilstone City), a bunch of trees in the east direction at the southern end of the route should clear out. You should then be able to access Turnback Cave. After using Rock Climb to get up this mounted lake, get into the cave and browse the numerous exits to get to the room where Giratina lies.

Cresselia

In a house near the port of Canalave City, a sick child needs a Crescent Feather to allow him to get well again. After speaking with the residents in the house, a sailor will volunteer to sail you to Full Moon Island. Cresselia is found there, but it flees upon sight of you, leaving the feather. Deliver that to the sick child. Cresselia flies around the region and can be tracked using the Pokétch's "Marking Map" app.

Pokémon Platinum specific

Dialga and Palkia

You can meet both Dialga and Palkia at Spear Pillar once beating the Elite Four and obtaining the National Dex.

Giratina (Origin forme)

In Diamond/Pearl where you met Dialga/Palkia at Spear Pillar, in Platinum, you instead go into the Distortion World, where after exploring it for a while, you'll run into Giratina (in it's Origin forme), if you don't catch it now it'll be available at it's Diamond/Pearl location inside Turnback Cave. (in it's default forme)

Regice, Registeel, Regirock

If you trade over a movie/Toys R Us Regigigas, three caves open up in Sinnoh.

• Regirock is in a cave located in the middle of Route 228.
• Registeel is in a cave located inside Iron Island.
• Regice is in a cave located in Mt. Coronet, just before the entrance to route 216.

Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres

After getting the National Dex, talk to Professor Oak in Eterna City, he'll tell you that the birds have been spotted in Sinnoh, after which they'll be roaming around and you'll be able to track them on the tracking app.

via Mystery Gift

(only reflecting Pokémon which are currently/have been obtainable in the US/EUR/AUS.)

Darkrai

From August 3rd and September 13th, 2009 the Member's Card is available for download (over Wi-fi) via Mystery Gift. Afterwards go into the previously-locked inn at Canalave City, once inside you'll be transported to Fullmoon Island and be able to catch Darkrai. (You have to have gotten the Lunar Wing from the Cresselia sidequest first)

Ultimate GTS and Pal Park Guide!

What is the Global Trade Station?
The Global Trade Station (GTS for Short) is the building in Jubilife City that becomes available for entrance after you beat the first gym in Oreburgh City.

How Does the GTS Work?
It allows you to connect online to search for pokemon other people have put inside the GTS in search of other pokemon, and allows you to place ONE (1) pokemon in the GTS at a time in search of another pokemon you have seen in the game. If you see a trade you like, simply click on it and after confirming you want to take the trade, it will how you your PC boxes, and will allow you to search through them as well as your party pokemon in search of the pokemon that the person is searching for. This will appear with a group of people popping up on teleporter pads after a search has been conducted. You may click on one of the trainer icons to see what the person is seeking in exchange for the pokemon you searched for, or you may see where they are located around the world.
Example:
Person A Puts a Chimchar inside of the GTS in search of a Piplup. Person B comes along and has a Piplup, while he is looking for a Chimchar, by inputing the species, gender, and level of the Chimchar they are searching for, they come across Person A's Chimchar. Person B will click the trade, and be prompted to their boxes and party. After selecting the Piplup, if it matches the criteria that Person A was looking for in the Piplup (Level, Gender, Species), then it will be highlighted. After selecting Piplup, It will be sent into a pokeball, and go into the light at the end of the tunnel, and a shiny new pokeball will pop out for Player B. Out will pop Player A's Chimchar, which then becomes Player B's pokemon. When Player A next logs into the GTS, they will be greeted with a new pokeball flying down out of the light and onto their screen, and be greeted with the Piplup you sent them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any requirements to the GTS?
First off, to access the GTS, you must first have the gym badge from Oreburgh City, otherwise a guy will stop you from entering. Secondly, in order to search or request a pokemon in the GTS, you must have at least SEEN the pokemon, and it is registered in your pokedex.

Why is someone offering a Level 100 ____ for a simple pokemon like Bidoof?
There are many reasons it may be.
A.) This person may be from say Japan, and just wants an English/German/etc. named pokemon.
B.) The pokemon may be hacked, and they just want to add more trainer numbers to their game, or want to get rid of it.

Why is someone requesting a Level 100 _____ for a simple pokemon like Bidoof?
Again, The same applies in this scenario, many reasons.
A.) Language again can make an impact, some Japanese/English players are very desperate to get another languaged pokemon.
B.) The person may have seen the pokemon in a temporary trade with a friend, or traded away the pokemon to another person for a different pokemon, or can simply just want another one of them.
C.) Check what the pokemon is holding, it may be a Bidoof that is holding something like a Master Ball, which most people would trade a level 100 for.

Why can't I search for ____?
In order to search for ANY pokemon in the GTS, you must have seen them before and they must be registered as seen in your Pokedex.

Does Wi-Fi Trading/Battling Allow You to Search for Them?
Yes and No. Battling Online will NOT add pokemon to your pokedex as seen. Trading however, can. If someone temporarily trades you a pokemon, for instance, you help someone evolve their Electabuzz into an Electivite, you would obtain the pokedex data for both Electabuzz and Electivire and gain the ability to search for either.



What is Pal Park?
Pal Park is an area located on Route 221, which is south of Sandgem Town. It becomes available after you obtain the national dex from Professor Oak. In order to obtain the National Dex, you must have SEEN all 150 pokemon that are in the Sinnoh Dex. (151 if you have seen Manaphy). This is actually quite possible to do as long as you battle every trainer in the game. The 2 most missed pokemon in the sinnoh pokedex are Wormadam and Drifloon. A Wormadam is held by a Beauty on Route 214. Drifloon, is however harder to find, unless you like to fight. In the 5th gym, with ghosts, you will have the option to skip the starting trainers, however, one of them holds the ONLY Drifloon you will see in the game, except the ONE wild one that appears during friday mornings and days at the WindWorks. Keep in mind, about 20 or more pokemon will not appear in the game until you reach Victory Road, and about 5 will not appear until you defeat the Elite 4 and the Champion. When you have seen 150/151 pokemon in the Sinnoh Dex, head back to Professor Rowan's lab in Sandgem Town. You will be greeted by Professor Oak, who, after a little time, will upgrade your pokemon to national mode, and you will be given the Pokemon Radar, which allows you to encounter National Pokemon in most grassy areas. He will also invite you to the Pal Park.

I have the National Dex, What Now?
Ok, now that you have the National Dex, you may access Pal Park. It is accessed through the same town you are in, Sandgem Town. First off, head south to that beach that you probably saw when you first started, but never knew where it went. Follow that route on top of a pokemon that knows Surf, and you will reach land shortly after. After walking on the land (and battling trainers, like when you had to Surf), you will arrive at a building. Enter, and Professor Oak will welcome you to Pal Park before promptly leaving to go to Eterna City. Welcome to Pal Park! As you can tell by talking to the people inside, everyone is a big fan of you and can't wait to see a "Catching Show" from you.

I'm in Pal Park, What Now?
After arriving in Pal Park and talking to Professor Oak, walk up to the counter and talk to the employee there. He immediately recognizes you as the League Champion, and asks you to participate in a "Catching Show" in which you transfer pokemon from FireRed/LeafGreen/Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald by inserting them in the GBA slot and selecting Migrate from ____ at the D/P opening menu. (This can only be done if you save AFTER you talk to the employee.) There is also a girl in Pal Park in the Southeast part of the building that will give you the final two Poketch applications, the Kitchen Timer and Color Changer, if you show her a Snorlax and Kecleon, respectively, and in order.

I've Selected the 6 Pokemon to Migrate, but how do I?
Ok, first off, after saving, restart the game, there will be a new option on your opening menu, which states Migrate from ____ (Whatever GBA game is inserted in your DS). Click it, press yes if you wish to migrate, it will explain that you can NEVER bring the pokemon back to your GBA game, press Yes again if you are ok with it. After that, you will be brought to your GBA boxes, simply select the 6 pokemon you wish to migrate and it will bring up a confirmation screen. Press yes and yes again to save both the GBA and the DS games.

I've Migrated, Now What?
When you log back into Diamond or Pearl, talk to the employee, he will ask you if you want to do a Catching Show, say yes and he will present you with 6 Park Balls. These Park Balls have a 100% catch rate of pokemon inside of Pal Park, so there is absolutely no chance of you losing pokemon you transfer over. When you get inside, Pal Park is split into 5 areas. The Area In The South, The plains, is where pokemon that wouldn't fit into the other areas would come here, such as Rayquaza. The Northwestern corner of the area is the forest area, the most
common pokemon you will find here after transferring are things from the forest in the GBA games, such as Caterpie, Pikachu, Shroomish. In the Northeastern part of the park is the lake, in which requires a pokemon that knows surf in order to encounter wild pokemon on. Pokemon such as Marills that wouldn't be in the sea, but would be in water will be located at. The Middle Part, Otherwise known as the mountain region, is there pokemon like Geodude, Aaron, and Groudon would call their home. The final area of Pal Park is in the Southeastern part of the park. This is the sea, and it too requires you to have a pokemon with surf in your party. Pokemon such as Kyogre would be located here. After catching all 6 pokemon, you will leave the park and you will get a berry as a reward if you catch them all within a certain amount of time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Can't I Transfer My _____?
Check their movesets. Pokemon that contain an HM from EITHER Game, (Flash is an HM in the GBA games, but not in D/P) will be unable to migrate, the normal problems people have are with Fly and Surf.

What if I Don't Catch All 6 Pokemon?
If you do not catch all 6 pokemon for some reason, such as you do not have enough time or power on your DS, and it gets turned off, simply return to Pal Park and retry to catch them. Any pokemon you catch, even if you retire are returned to Pal Park until you manage to catch all 6 in one run.

Are There Any Restraints on How Many You Can Migrate?
Yes. You can ONLY Migrate 6 Pokemon every 24 hours. Not day, in other words, if you transfer at 10 P.M., you will not be able to transfer again in 2 hours, when the day changes. The game will require you to wait until 10 P.M. the next day.

What if we Change the DS Clock?
DO NOT DO THIS!!! Changing the DS' Internal Clock will Automatically force you to wait ANOTHER 24 hours, as D/P was somehow implemented to fight against Time Skips.

What Will Transfer with my Pokemon?
Any Item that is attached to your pokemon will be still held by your pokemon when you find them in your PC box. All IV and EV values are the same, as well as movesets. The OT Will stay as the GBA trainer, and you WILL get boosted experience for them, however, you will be unable to nickname these new pokemon :(

Will I Lose My Pokemon If I Don't Catch Them All?
No. You will just have to restart as if you never caught one in Pal Park. However, they are quite easy to find and catch in Pal Park, though some pokemon (like Legendaries) are rarer to find then others.

A guide to chaining

What this guide is for: I figure I may as well, this will help out anyone who is willing to battle many Pokemon in hopes of finding a shiny. This is also helpful if you're EV training something.

WARNING: The following will usually require a lot of patience and time, you will not just expect a shiny patch to come up just because you want it to. If you are impatient I'd hold off trying to do this. Remember this will just give people new to chaining a general idea on how to go about doing so.

FAQ​

What is Chaining?
Chaining is using the Pokeradar to encounter the same Pokemon many times, this is usually done because it increases the chance of finding an Alternate Color (or shiny) Pokemon.

What is an Alternate Color Pokemon? I thought they were called Shiny Pokemon?
They are both, Game Freak calls them Alternate Color Pokemon, as you can see when you're looking through the words you can choose when people want to interview you, I first noticed this in Ruby. So either term is correct. (Personally I prefer Shiny.)

How long does it take to find a Shiny Pokemon?
It depends, some times it can take 20 minutes, half an hour, an hour, or even longer depending on the Pokemon. Without the Pokeradar, it could take months, years, or otherwise. The normal rate of finding a shiny is about 1/8192... (thanks Shurikenway)
this just in I was chaining Chansey, and it appears the normal rate to find a Shiny will still be in effect, I walked into a patch and a Shiny Chansey just came up out of no where O_O. I must say either further analysis is needed or something. in that case, this is the first Pokemon game where I have encountered more than one shiny in the normal wild chances.

What are some good Pokemon to practice this on?
Swarming Pokemon, They have a good appearance rate and are easy to find and don't break while chaining as often.
Common Pokemon, Such as Bidoof, Starly, ect.

Where can I chain?
Anywhere in the grass, chaining doesn't work in caves, water, surfing, fishing, or any other method, finding shinies in other places than the grass with the Pokeradar is just luck.

Are Shiny Pokemon special in any way?
No, they are just really rare and many will do ANYTHING to get a shiny. I've heard in the past (Gold Silver and Crystal) they were more powerful, I can't exactly prove or disprove that, because I heard only the Gyarados that was predetermined to be shiny was more powerful because it had preset values.

Should I even bother doing this?
That's up to you.

Tools​

Required: Pokeradar (make sure you register this to the Y button), Lots of Repels, (I prefer Super Repels, they cost 500 and I don't see the point in wasting a few dollars more for 50 more steps.) A Pokemon that is on a high level and can KO about 40 Pokemon. (make sure the level is around/above what you're trying to KO) Lots of your favorite type of ball, I myself prefer Quick/Master balls (I used a Master Ball once, it was on a shiny Beldum, it's recommended you use Master Balls on Pokemon that can flee or can kill themselves.)

Useful: a Synchronizer, this will increase the chance of fighting a Pokemon with that same nature, good if you want a good natured Shiny. A Pokemon that can induce status conditions, this can be helpful to catch your Pokemon. 1 or 2 empty slots in your Party, so you can check it's nature and such. Pokemon with abilities such as "Cute Charm, Magnet Pull, Static." are more likely to effect the patches you're going into, Magnet pull is good for Steel types, Static for electric types, and Cute Charm for certain genders. If your opposing Pokemon has Roar, try using Sound Proof Pokemon to fight them so they can't get away. Poketch Application 20, so you know how many Pokemon you've chained.

Method​

Starting Out The best Method in my opinion would be to A.)Save in the patch of grass you desire to hunt in. B.)Throw on a Repel then save in the grass.

Now, make sure your Pokeradar is registered to the Y button for easy access, you'll be using it a lot. Press Y, enter a Patch. Find the Pokemon you want, if not soft reset then press Y again. (that's how I do it.)

Make sure you find a patch, and the next patch should be at least 3 grass bushes away from the next patch that is shaking just like the one you stepped in the first time...

Things to take note of while chaining
Remember where the patches shook, you want to be able to go as many steps as needed to reset the radar without messing up your chain. Find a safe row and walk around till the radar says you have (1-10) steps before it's fully charged, then walk around in a few patches and head usually toward the middle, and reset. You'll be doing this often, and if you miss which patches shook where... take caution because your chain will likely break.

Keep throwing on repels when they wear off, if not you will likley encounter a wild Pokemon like normal and your chain, once again, will be gone.

Examples:
Lets say I'm on route 201... (I play as the girl because I don't like the looks of the male in this game...)

Ok, lets say I am chaining Starly, now where I am standing I have just defeated Starly and the pokeradar goes off and the patches shake once more.


Lets say those 4 Patches shake, (I know it's impractical, but this is just to give you a general Idea.) The patches that shake most like the one you first stepped in are your best bet, and they should be at least 3 bushes away as you can see in the image, they are, and those would all be what I consider safe spots... if you think those shook like the first patch you entered, go for it and you should see the same Pokemon.


NEVER STEP ON THE PATCHES THAT ARE MARKED IN AN X, these will usually break the chain and will make your hard work go away...
Red Circles/Black Circles are generally safe to step in.
This picture shows in grey the patches I feel you should be cautious of, if these shake I usually like to avoid them since they tend to break the chain, just keep a good heads up and you'll be fine. The only reason I say to be cautious is because I've had chains quite often break, most of the time stepping on those patches will be OK.

So you've chained 40, what do you do now?​

You have 3 options.
A. Walk around and reset the radar, wait till you find a shiny patch, go into patch, encounter Pokemon, catch, save, continue on with you life.
B. Walk around reset the radar, wait till you find a shiny patch, go into the patch, encounter the Pokemon, catch, go to find more patches and wait for another shiny to show up, save, continue with your life.
C. Keep encountering Pokemon until a Shiny Patch comes up.

Different Types of Patches, which patches are which? and what to look out for.​

Normal Patch: These rustle, don't turn yellow at all, and usually contain common Pokemon, the further the patch is, the more likely it could be a rare Pokemon.

Quickly Shaking Patch:These appear yellow in color and are patches rustling wildly, these usually contain Pokeradar only Pokemon, and are usually harder to keep track of when chaining, be cautious.

Shiny Patches: I've seen different patches many times, some say they glow blue or change color, I personally have only seen patches that sparkle twice, they are much different from other patches and are usually an easy to notice event. These are the patches you want to be looking for.

What causes Chains to break?​

It's kind of complex sometimes, like I'll go into a shiny patch, catch the Pokemon and the chain ends... I don't always know what causes it, but usually chains break if you go into a bad patch or if you go out of range...

Other General Notes​

It's easier to chain when there isn't a weather condition going on, such as rain, snow, sandstorm, ect.

When using a Synchronizer (if it's lower than the level you're in.) make sure you turn towards the patch that is shiny before entering, I lost a shiny patch when I turned next to one and a Buizel showed up.

Real time will not effect the patches that shook, if you want to take a break, make sure you do it in battle, or make a diagram so you know which patches shook where before you left, it's good to plug in your DS and leave it in sleep mode just in case.

If you're chaining and you wish to continue further with the same Pokemon, try to bring PP restoring items, Leppa berries are a blessing when it comes to this.

In case you didn't know already you can keep track of how many Pokemon you've chained by looking at Poketch application 20.

Look at the radar before you step into a patch, as you're stepping into it, you can know before hand if your chain is going to break or not, if the screen fades black, that means it will keep going, if the Pokemon you're chaining (the icon) disappears from the top of the watch screen, then your chain has broke.

When you're out chaining certain types, certain abilities can help, use Static for Electric Pokemon, Magnet Pull for steel types... and check other things on Ability guides, those are the only 2 I know of.

NEVER​

NEVER Bring a Pokemon that knows Teleport as a Synchronizer... unlike in Red and Blue when you could answer Yes or No to the "Do you want to warp to the last Pokemon center..." you just go... >.< I lost a shiny because of this and no one should have to have that happen to them...

NEVER Bring a Pokemon with Sweet Scent

NEVER Bring a Pokemon that is too low in level, because you could accidentally turn in a patch and encounter a Pokemon you don't want to encounter... be careful about your Party line up...

NEVER Bring a Pokemon that could use a move like Roar or Whirlwind... obvious as to why... you could slip up like that it's not hard to...

Even though I find it highly unlikely... avoid use of Destiny Bond.

NEVER Use a rare candy on a Pokemon, this will cause the radar to reset for some reason, I don't know... but when you use the rare candy, you wont see where the patches shake because it goes straight back to the bag when you are done using it.

Good General Tips to ensure good long chains​

Good Moves to have at your disposal
False Swipe (good for catching your Shiny Pokemon.)

Spore (makes it really easier to catch the Shiny Pokemon.)

moves with High PP

Take advantage of types when chaining when possible, if you're chaining steel Pokemon bring a fire type with fire attacks... well you know weakness and such, so I shouldn't have to go too in depth...

Bring a high level Pokemon, this will help ensure the chain doesn't break.

If you're chaining Pokemon with moves like Roar, you can bring a Pokemon with Sound Proof (I find Mime Jr. good for this, since he has Encore and Sound Proof.)

If you're chaining Pokemon with Explosion, bring a Pokemon with the Damp ability, that makes it impossible to use Explosion.

Careful while having Eggs in your party, when they hatch the radar could reset on you once you've found your shiny patch, that's the only thing I can think of as why not to carry them around while chaining. Hatching eggs resets the radar, so... carry them if you must, but it's risky.

If I missed anything feel free to tell me, and if you have any questions, you may ask. I will try to answer them the best I can.

Where to find every item in D/P!!

Riley Vace's Item Guide for Diamond and Pearl!!

Okay. So I saw the Q&A thread that's stickied and thought how much easier it would be to be able to
see where an item is in a big list, rather than asking a question and having answered. I mean, I had
to trawl through 7 odd pages reading each post carefully, just to find where one item was. I know it
just requires effort on your part, but this is for convenience, so I'm listing how and where you get
every item in Diamond and Pearl.

So, I have tried to make this as quick and efficient as posible. By keeping the lists as concise and
to as much as a minimum as possible, it allows you to search and find the item you're looking for easier!!
Please note, this thread assumes you know what the item you're searching for does, I have only listed
where and how to obtain them.
Thanks, and hopefully you'll find this useful.
Riley~

How To Use
Know what item you are looking for.
Hit CTRL+F.
Type in the name of your item (Make sure it's spelled properly!).
Press enter, and you should be at your item!! Yay!
If not, then keep pressing enter until you are at your item's name in BOLD.
When searching for Berries, don't type the word "Berry" after it's name,
the search won't work otehrwise, as only the Berry's name is listed..

Underground Guide

Hello everyone, welcome to my Underground guide. This guide will explain the basics of the underground, the possible items that can be found underground, the sections of the underground, the Spiritomb guide and more.

THE BASICS
THE MENU

-TRAPS: This is where your traps and Digger Drill are stored. The Digger Drill is needed to create a Secret Base (it can only be used once, but you can get more) and must be used while facing a wall. Traps must be set while facing an empty spot of ground.
-SPHERES: These serve as currency in the Underground. From this menu, you can bury spheres in the ground. A buried sphere grows larger over time, and you can bury multiple spheres of the same color in the same spot to immediately form a single, large sphere.
-GOODS: These are decorations for your Secret Base. The items here are what you are carrying in your bag, and some can be given to other players as gifts. In order to use them as decorations, they must first be sent to your Underground PC.
-TREASURES: Treasure found while digging will be stored here. You can send these items to your bag, so they can be used when you return to the surface.
-[YOUR NAME]: View your records for the Underground.
-GO UP: Return to the surface and end your session in the Underground.
-CLOSE: Close the menu.

REGIONS:
The Underground has 6 seperate regions. Where you use the Explorer Kit determines whereabouts you will end up:
-MASSIVE REGION:
Eterna City
Hearthome City
Iron Island
Pastoria City
Pokemon League (North or South side)
Snowpoint City
Solaceon Town
Veilstone City

-SOUTHWEST REGION:
Oreburgh City
Twinleaf Town
Pal Park
Valley Windworks

-SOUTHEAST REGION:
Sunnyshore City

-CENTER REGION:
Celestic Town

-NORTHWEST REGION:
Fullmoon Island

-NORTHEAST REGION:
Fight Area
Survival Area
Resort Area

Some of these regions are not available until you have beaten the Elite Four and the champion (The Nortwest region and the Northeast Region). If you are looking for a particular item, but have no success in one region, try another region to look for that item as the likelyhood of that item appearing may be higher in another region.

HIKERS:
While you are underground, you may find Hikers around. These are there to trade items with you, they are looking for your spheres! There are three types of underground hikers, Goods Traders, Trap Traders and Treasure Buyers.

Goods Traders:
Goods Traders will trade Goods to decorate your Secret Base in exchange for
your spheres. Also, you can trade your extra Goods for spheres.

#1. Dig at Veilstone City. Head up 2, left 2, then up all the way.
#2. Dig at Pastoria City. Head up all the way.
#3. Dig at Snowpoint City. Head down all the way.
#4. Dig at Eterna City. Head right 1, then down all the way.
#5. Dig at Resort Area. Head right all the way, up all the way, then left 2.
#6. Dig at Twinleaf Town. Head down 1, then right 1.
#7. Dig at Sunnyshore City. Head down all the way, right all the way, down 2, then left 2.
#8. Dig at Fullmoon Island. Head up all the way, right all the way, then up 1.

Trap Traders:
Trap Traders will trade Digger Drills and Traps in exchange for your spheres.
Also, you can trade your extra traps for spheres.

#1. Dig at Sunnyshore City. Head down all the way, right all the way, down all
the way, then left 9.
#2. Dig at Fullmoon Island. Head up all the way, right all the way, up 2, then
right 8.
#3. Dig at Celestic Town. Head right all the way, up 1, then right all the way.

#7. Dig at Solaceon Town. Head left 1.
#8. Dig at Eterna City. Head right 2, up 3, then right 2.

Treasure Buyers:
Treasure Buyers will give you relatively large spheres in exchange for
Treasures you have dug up while Underground. Their prices vary, so you may want
to check out each of the four hikers to see which is offering the best price.
You CANNOT buy treasures from them, unfortunately.

The Treasure Buyers are conveniently located in each of the four corners of
the map. So here are some possible places to dig:

#1. Dig at Fullmoon Island.
#2. Dig at the Resort Area.
#3. Dig at Twinleaf Town.
#4. Dig at Sunnyshore City.


Spiritomb
As you may know, a rare pokemon exists called Spiritomb. The only way to catch a Spiritomb is to use the underground with a friend via DS wireless activity. here is a step by step guide as to how to catch Spiritomb.

You will need:
#A patient friend with a copy of Diamond or Pearl
#An Odd Keystone
#Access to the Hallowed Tower

Odd Keystones can be found whilst digging underground. There is a Black Belt at route 208 who will give you an Odd Keystone. Route 208 conviently leads without choice to route 209 where you will see the Hallowed Tower sitting, waiting for you to place your Odd Keystone inside it.

Now you have the Odd Keystone. Place it inside the hallowed tower, and you are ready to go. Go underground and wait for your friend to appear. Speak to him, now go back up and repeat this proceedure 32 times. You can keep track of this by checking your frinds status and looking at the bit that says "number of people met". When it has reached 32, return to the surface and press the A button on the Hallowed Tower. Oh my, a wild Spiritomb appeared! Be sure to have a few Ultra/Quick balls handy, as it can be hard to catch. You may even want to save in front of the tower before you encounter it. It apppears at level 25, so have a level 20-30 pokemon handy. May I congratulate on catching Spiritomb!

The Items

Treasures are items that you find while digging that can be used when you
return to the surface. Keep in mind they must be moved from your Underground
Bag to your regular bag first! Simply go to the list of treasures in your menu,
select an item, and it should give you an option to send it to your regular
bag.

There are many items you can find Underground. First, there are fossils. You
can bring a Pokemon Fossil to the Oreburgh Museum to resurrect that Pokemon,
creating a live new member of your team. Unlike previous Pokemon games, you can
obtain an unlimited number of any particular fossil.

♪_ The Guide to Cloning.




What you will need.
• Access to the Global Trade Center [1< badge]
• A wireless router
Please Note: I wrote this guide for the cloning using a router, and wouldn't know about using a Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector.
• A DS and Pokémon Diamond/Pearl game pack with at least 2 pokémon.

Step #1
If you don't have access to the Global Trade Center [GTS], you are going to need your 1st badge to enter. Once inside, go to the PC and access BEBE's PC.
TIP: I use the "Move Pokémon" option, as you do not have to exit the BOX, you can simply shift pokémon in your hand.
Withdraw at least 2 pokémon, no more is needed. Then you need to head to the women over the desk and enter the GTS.


Step #2
Go to Summary, and select the Pokémon of which you wish to clone. For conditions, I suggest using Azelf; Lv. 9 and under; Either gender. Pause before you continue and position yourself infront of your router. On your router you should have a light that flashes when you connect to it.
TIP: I suggest you do not operate any other wireless devices ie. a laptop. This may confuse you resulting in you not being able to access the glitch.
On my router, it is labled "WLAN", but I am aware it is named things such as "Connection" or "Connected".
TIP: To test what light you need to watch, simply connect to your router with a device, or if you was watching it previously, you should have seen it flash as you logged onto the GTS.


Step #3
This is the most important stage of the cloning process. Once you are sure of the light you need to watch, press "yes" to confirming. Now, instead of counting, watch the light carefully. It may flicker once or twice during this process, but you should ignore it. After around 11 seconds, [the counting method is innacurate but it's a good reference] you should notice the light to blink rapidly. On my router [belkin54g] I have to wait for it to flicker 4 times then IMMEDIATLEY turn it off. If you are using the same router as me, you should turn it off after the 4 flickers.
TIP: If you find it hard to turn it off so rapidly, try after 3 blinks.

Step #4
Turn your DS back on. Once you pass the "PRESS START" screen, you MUST have a blue screen come up stating that the save file is corrupted. If this screen does not appear, then I'm afraid you have not succeeded in cloning.TIP: If this is your first time cloning and you fail missurably, my advice is to try, and try again :)
Once you pass the screen you should be back where you last saved [at the GTS desk, or walking out of the GTS]. From there, you re-enter and click on summary.
Please Note: If you happen to have had someone trade you a Pokémon, yet the "Currupt File" screen still appeared, you may have entered another glitch. You will not get a cloned pokémon back, but you will get the offered pokémon back AND the pokémon you "wanted" back. Amazing, I know :) [And it REALLY does work, I'm living proof and so it my Lv 100 Bidoof, which is why I recomend an improbable [Actually impossible except with hacking] Lv 9> Azelf]
You should come up with the offering screen, which you press A on, then "Take back". Once the pokémon returns, you should check the "Summary" option, so you can check if it has cloned without going back to a PC.

Regards, Zungie

The following list contains information about how to get all the Pokémon in Diamond and Pearl. Some require a special method (especified in italics) or need some additional information (in parentheses). For a llist of Pokémon that appear with the Pokémon, in Swarms, by GBA-Insertion, in the Mansion or in the Safari game, check the posts at the bottom of the list.

Notes:
*"Mansion Pokémon" refers to the Pokémon that appear after the old man in the Pokémon Mansion tells his story. Pokémon that are always there will simply have "Trophy Garden"
*"Safari Pokémon" refers to the Pokémon that appear randomly each day through the binoculars in the Safari Zone. Pokémon that are always there will simply have "Pastoria Great Marsh".

What is Mystery Gift? A Guide

What is Mystery Gift?

Mystery Gift is a feature designed to allow players to obtain Event 'Gifts'.

Players are able to:

-Download gifts from Events.

-Download gifts over Nintendo WiFi Connection.

-Download gifts from other players who have obtained events via one of the above methods. (DS-DS)

I tried downloading a gift over WiFi, but didn't receive one!

Currently, no events have been released over Nintendo WiFi Connection. Hopefully, some will be released in future, but for the moment, just wait.

How do I get Mystery Gift?

Go to Jubelife City, and enter the Television Center. There should be a man on the second floor who wants your comment, or something similar. Tell him:

"EVERYONE" "HAPPY"
"WIFI" "CONNECTION"

or

「みんな」「ハッピー」
「Wi-Fi」「つうしん」

Mystery gift will be enabled after you save, and will be available from the startup menu (Resume Game, WiFi Settings, etc).

Well, that's all I have to say. Any questions will be answered, and added to the original post =)

PokeRus FAQ

Apparently, there isn't a PokeRus FAQ in the sticky. Thus, MegaMushroom07 is here to field all of your viral questions.

What is PokeRus?

Pokemon Virus, or 'PokeRus' for short is an infection which all 300 or and something monsters can obtain, providing that they are not immune to it.

Immune? What do you mean?

If a Pokemon with active PokeRus has been out of a box for more than 24 hours, the PokeRus will not be transmitted to other Pokemon. However, it will still keep the effects of PokeRus.

If a Pokemon is immune to PokeRus, it will have a small :| face next to its picture.

What does PokeRus actually do? Is it a bad thing?

The Pokemon virus is not a negative infection; It is quite the opposite. PokeRus doubles the number of Effort Values (Explained in my previous FAQ) obtained in battles. This is quite essential to EV training Pokemon.

How do I know if my Pokemon has the virus?


If one of your Pokemon has the virus, it will have either a purple 'PokeRus' next to its name in the 'Summary' section, or a face near its picture.

If a Pokemon is has developed, and is 'suffering' from active PokeRus, a trip to the nurse will briefly inform you of its condition.

How do I get PokeRus?

Obtaining PokeRus is a matter of chance; Wander around in the grass, fighting Pokemon until you get it, or obtain it via a trade. Then, you may pass it on to your remaining Pokemon.

How do I transmit PokeRus?

If a Pokemon has active PokeRus, as opposed to cured, place it in your first party slot. Then, fight random battles. The Pokemon opposite the active Pokemon will recieve a 1/3 chance of obtaining it per battle.

Well, folks, I think that is all.

MM07

Ball Seal FAQ

On request...


Ball Seals you say? What are they, and what are they for?

Ball Seals are a new addition to the Pokemon formula. They have little or no gameplay value; However, they do provide a nice effect in battle, and an ounce of propaganda.
Ball seals allow you to change the Pokemon Release Effect produced by a Ball in battle. The normal, uncustomised is highly undistinctive, unless you are using a special device such as the Cherish Ball. You may add lightning bolts, bubbles, flames, and much more to your capsules.

Where do I find them?

You first need to obtain the Seal Pack in the house west of the Unown Ruins in Solaceon Town. Then Ball Seals can be purchased cheaply at the Sunyshore Market. Talk to the topmost person to 'Seal the Deal'. You may also show Unown to the boy in Solaceon to receive 10 free letter seals corresponding to the Unown's letter form.

I have them, but how to I apply?

Firstly, log on to a PC, and select your own PC. Choose 'Ball Capsules'. Then, pick which seal you want, place them, and 'Set' the ball on your desired Pokemon.

I can't deposit my custom Pokemon!

Go back to the PC, and remove the set seal. Then, you will be able to deposit your Pokemon into boxes. This issue is highly inconvenient.

How to evolve Pokémon that need to be traded to someone without actually trading it.

I've seen a lot of threads being wasted into tradebacks, for evolving certain Pokémon (Machoke to Machamp, Electabuzz w/Electrizer into Electivire...), so for those who need to trade, you don't need to make a thread or ask someone's help. The GTS can be used for this.

For those who don't know how to do this, here are the steps:

1) Enter the GTS, and Deposit the Pokémon you want to evolve via trade (if it needs an item, give it the item as well). I recommend you ask for an Impossible Pokémon (I always ask for a lv.9 or lower Lugia).

2) Search for ANY Pokémon, and when you find one, you have to do a FULL trade. (Get their Pokémon and you get theirs).

3) After you have received that Pokémon, go back to the 3-option screen, and take back your Pokémon.


If you followed these steps correctly, when you get your Pokémon back, it'll now evolve as if you would've made a tradeback. Enjoy and Be Happy!

Diamond/Pearl FAQ / Item Location Guide [READ BEFORE POSTING]

PokéBall Guide - Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum (DS)

The PokéBall Guide - Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum

The making of this guide has been approved by classicrockfan, Moderator of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum (DS). This thread is simply created to answer questions about the various effects of the different PokéBalls - old and new to the DPP generation. PokéBalls are listed in alphabetical order. To identify how powerful a Ball is, the effectiveness of the ball is compared to the effectiveness of a regular PokéBall. For example if you were to see a Ball with x3 for a catch rate, it means it is three times as powerful as the standard PokéBall.


Name: Cherish Ball
Catch Rate: x1
Cost: --
Location: --
Description: The ball is unobtainable inside the game. It is only found at events, where the Cherish Ball holds another Pokémon inside of it. For example, the ALAMOS Darkrai is in a Cherish Ball. You cannot have a Cherish Ball in your bag without the use of an external device.


Name: Dive Ball
Catch Rate: x1 or x3.5
Cost: --
Location: Solaceon Town
Description: If you throw a Dive Ball at a Pokémon that is underwater, the Dive Ball will be 3.5 times as strong as a standard PokéBall. Otherwise, the ball will be x1.


Name: Dusk Ball
Catch Rate: x1 or x4
Cost: $1000
Location: Oreburgh City, Solaceon Town, some PokéMarts
Description: If you attempt to capture the defending Pokémon when it is nighttime or in a dark area(such as caves), the ball will be 4 times as strong as a standard PokéBall. Otherwise it will be 1 time as strong.


Name: Great Ball
Catch Rate: x1.5
Cost: $600
Location: PokéMart (after 3 badges are obtained), Route 210, Eterna Forest, Pokémon Mansion, Great Marsh, use the Dowsing Machine (Pokétch App)
Description: Always 1.5 times as strong as a standard PokéBall.


Name: Heal Ball
Catch Rate: x1
Cost: $300
Location: Oreburgh City, Solaceon Town, some PokéMarts
Description: Right after a Pokémon is caught, the Pokémon is restored to full strength and the status condition is healed. It is as strong as the standard PokéBall.


Name: Luxury Ball
Catch Rate: x1
Cost: $1000
Location: Solaceon Town, some PokéMarts
Description: After the Pokémon is caught, the friendship of the caught Pokémon is raised.


Name: Master Ball
Catch Rate: ∞
Cost: --
Location: Galactic Headquarters, Jubilife TV Station(Lottery)
Description: Catches a Pokémon without fail, 100% of the time.


Name: Nest Ball
Catch Rate: x1-3
Cost: $1000
Location: Solaceon Town, some PokéMarts
Description: To determine the catch rate of this PokéBall, you take the following formula: (40 - Opponent's Level) / 10. The lower the number, the stronger this ball is. Catch rate of this ball has nothing to do with your own Pokémon's level.


Name: Net Ball
Catch Rate: x1 or x3
Cost: $1000
Location: PokéMarts, Solaceon Town, Route 222
Description: If the defending Pokémon is a bug or a water type, the catch rate of this ball is x3. If the defending Pokémon is dual typed, and one of the types is Water/Bug, the catch rate is also x3. Otherwise, the catch rate of this ball is x1.


Name: Park Ball
Catch Rate: ∞
Cost: --
Location: Pal Park (cannot be stored in bag)
Description: This ball is only obtainable through Pal Park, in which you are given six wild Pokémon to find and six Park Balls. If you do not capture all the Pokémon, the Park Balls will not come in your bag. Park Ball captures Pokémon without fail, just like the Master Ball. Sprite of this PokéBall is parallel to that of the Safari Ball.


Name: PokéBall
Catch Rate: x1
Cost: $200
Location: PokéMart, Route 203, Route 205, Route 207, Route 208, Great Marsh, using Dowsing Machine (Pokétch App)
Description: Standard PokéBall. x1 effectiveness no matter what.


Name: Premier Ball
Catch Rate: x1
Cost: --
Location: PokéMart
Description: If you purchase at least 10 PokéBalls at once from a PokéMart, you will receive a Premier Ball. Note that if you buy 20 PokéBalls in one purchase, you will only receive one Premier Ball. However if you buy 20 PokéBalls in two different purchases(10 each), you will receive two PokéBalls. Reason being that the game only judges upon if the number purchased at once is 10 or greater. This PokéBall is basically the same as the standard PokéBall, only with a cooler new look.


Name: Quick Ball
Catch Rate: x1-4
Cost: $1000
Location: Some PokéMarts, Solaceon Town
Description: During the first 4 turns of the battle, the capture rate is x4. When the number of turns reaches 5, the capture rate decreases to x3. When the number of turns reaches 10, the capture rate decreases to x2. When the number of turns reaches 15 or more, the capture rate decreases to x1. Ball is best used at the beginning of a battle.


Name: Repeat Ball
Catch Rate: x1 or x3
