( s1. INTRODUCTION | ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ) `~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Hello! This is the second FAQ that I am publishing to CheatCC (and to any other sites whom have received my permission to use this FAQ). I have been super enthusiastic about the new Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl games that were released in Japan recently since the day they came out. I have been working dilligently on trying to acquire as much information as possible about the two games, and now, I have decided that it is time to work on writing a good Walkthrough for the two games. Now that the games are released in English, I will be going through and trying to localize all of the names and stuff to keep them current with the English version, instead of the Japanese version. I may miss a few things here and there, so if you see a funny name that doesn't sound familiar, it means I just missed it while going through and changing things. THIS IS NOT A SPOILER-FREE WALKTHROUGH! In fact, this Walkthrough will have as many spoilers as possible! You will not find any pictures (for obvious reasons) or stats on the Pokemon in this guide. For pictures of the new Pokemon, you can check out: http://pokemon.marriland.com/diamond_pearl/new_pictures/ Also, since making a text-based Pokedex out of my existing Pokedex just isn't time-sensible, you can view my D/P Pokedex on my site, at the following page: http://pokemon.marriland.com/diamond_pearl/pokedex/ And since I'm already going link crazy, a video walkthrough - for those of you that like seeing stuff in action - is being worked on, as are tutorials on how to catch certain Pokemon or do certain things. Check 'em out here: http://pokemon.marriland.com/diamond_pearl/videos/ Lastly, a stylized Walkthrough, written by me and improved from this one, can be found here: http://www.mycheats.com/view/superguide/17032/pokemon_diamond_pearl_/ With that being said, please do enjoy the Walkthrough I have written. I hope it helps you out through the game, or, if you do not own the game and merely wish to take a peek at what the game is all about! Also, please do keep in mind that this guide was written for Pokemon Diamond. The only real differences that you will find in this guide if you're playing Pokemon Pearl is that the wild Pokemon in some areas may be different, and you will catch Palkia instead of Dialga. I will eventually make the guide fully compatible with Pearl and point out all of the differences, but for now just bear with me. ,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. ( s2. VERSION HISTORY | :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ) `~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Version 2.50 (5/12/07 - 654KB) - I added completely accurate attacks for each and every Pokemon for each Gym Leader, Commander, and other big battles of importance. Now you will be able to see exactly what each big foe has in their arsenal! - I FIXED MY E-MAIL, PRAISES BE! I'm really sorry about my e-mail being down for, like, almost 2 weeks. There was some wacky setting in my site's configuration that I didn't have a clue about, but I finally figured it out, woohoo! If you tried to send a message and got some freaky 550 relay not permitted message, you can now send your message to me and I should be able to receive it without any problems. - Just because my e-mail is fixed doesn't mean I'll be able to respond to the 80 - 100 e-mails I'm getting a day, though... heh heh... - In fact, I updated my Contact Info section to help explain things better. - Fixed a ton of typoes, clarified some things, and axed more Japanese names. - Added a list of all of the items you can buy with your BP in the Battle Park section (section 6.3.2.). - Updated the TM list so it is now complete. - Changed the name of Northeast Island to Battle Zone, since I guess that's what it's called now. - Fixed some info about getting to Giratina (it's still kinda vague), and also added more info about the Resort Area. - I'm starting to run out of things to update. I guess next up would be coverage on Route 224, and then I get to PLAY SOME MINIGAMES! D: Version 2.00 (5/4/07 - 630KB) - I'm pretty sure I have nailed 99% of the Japanese names now. - Added a section on Regigigas and Rotom. - Did a lot of reorganizing, merging the Post-Game and Optional Areas into one whole section, and then added a section showing you where to find specific Pokemon, just because a lot of you don't know how to press CTRL + F to find things (or because I didn't list them, heh heh). - Revamped the Pastoria Great Marsh section a bit. - Tons of typoes and corrections fixed throughout the Walkthrough. - Added Poketch Apps #6, #17, #18, and #19. Also listed #21 - #25. - ACCURATE ENCOUNTER TABLES ARE NOW UP! These should be 100% accurate, and completely compatible with both Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl. - Apparently my e-mail was down for a few days while I was working on getting a second server. If you sent anything and weren't able to get it through, you have my apologies. I am working on resolving this problem as quickly as possible, so if you are still getting error messages, just try again in a day or two, or contact me using my contact form, which can be found in the Contact Info section (section 11.). - I have gotten so many e-mails (especially while the dp@ e-mail address was working) since the release of Diamond and Pearl that it's insane! I apologize if I haven't been able to respond to your e-mail, but I'm literally getting 50 - 80 a day. I'm glad that you all like my Walkthrough so much, though, and I try to answer whatever questions I can! Just know that I'm pretty darn busy now... Version 1.80 (4/24/07 - 543KB) - 90 to 95% of all names should now be current with the English version of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. This Walkthrough is now officially for the English version! - I probably missed a few, though. No need to point them out; just work with them for now. - I'll go through and make corrections to the guide as I play through the game. - Ported the Walkthrough to a really spiffy HTML version, over at http://www.mycheats.com/view/superguide/17032/pokemon_diamond_pearl_/ complete with screenshots and stuff that can't be in a simple text file. But this text version will still be updated because it's portable. - Added the effects to some of the items. - Removed the Translation Guide section because it was no longer necessary. That's why the filesize dropped by 10KB. - Version 2.00 will be when this guide is 100% complete for the English version. Version 1.30 (3/19/07 - 553KB) - Replaced ALL of the Pokemon names with their confirmed English names. - Updated some other names, such as Team Galaxy to Team Galactic, the Poke Watch to the Poketch, and probably another here and there. - Corrected Heatran's attack list. It has Scary Face, not Mean Look. - Made a lot of miscellaneous updates to various sections while I went through the list. - Fixed various typoes. - Added some new questions to the Frequently Asked Questions section. - Finally added a list of where you can find every single Pokemon for your Sinnoh Dex! This can be found in section 8.6.! Right now, it just shows the locations of the Pokemon for Trainers, but I might later extend it to show where you can actually catch the Pokemon. - Also added a English / Japanese name conversion section so you can see both the English and Japanese names for each Pokemon to help avoid some confusion while you adjust to the English names. - Changed nearly all of the wild Pokemon encounter tables so they show an accurate percentage of encounter instead of just an estimated rarity. It only shows the frequency for encountering Pokemon in the daytime for now, although future updates should have the other two times as well, in addition to Surfing encounters and the encounter rates for all three of the Rods. Version 1.00 (1/16/07 - 528KB) - Yes, after over two months, I finally have an update - one that I deem "completes" the Walkthrough. - The entire Northeast Island section has been added and covered (sections 6.3.1. to 6.3.11.). - Updated sections 7.4. (Pokemon Mansion & Proud Garden) and 7.6. (Safari Zone) to include a little information about there being more Pokemon that you can catch after obtaining the National Dex. (I still need to add how to get Rotomu to the Forest Manor section, I know.) - Added some info on the Pokemon Super Contests. - Updated the lists of locations and items to reflect the new additions. - Made a whole ton of assorted other updates over the past two months that I can't really remember them all. - DIAMOND AND PEARL WILL BE RELEASED IN THE USA ON APRIL 22nd, 2007!! - Changed some of the names to reflect the revealed English names. Professor Nanakamado to Professor Rowan, Futaba Town to Twinleaf Town, and Perap to Chatot. - Fixed several typoes (calling Rock Climb "Rock Slide" NUMEROUS times throughout the walkthrough ... shame on me!) - Probably other stuff I'm forgetting that you'll just have to hunt down! Version 0.95 (11/8/06 - 460KB) - Did some reorganizing of the different sections, now dedicating section 6. to Post-Game, section 7. to Optional Areas, section 8. to Useful Lists, and the sections afterward have just been post-incremented by 2 to reflect the new additions. - Added many of the Post-Game events, covering sections 6.1. to 6.5. and all subsections, except for 6.3. Still have a lot of Post-Game stuff to write about, though... - Most likely going to merge Post-Game and Optional Areas into one section later on, since several of the Optional Areas are much, much more interesting after completing the game and unlocking the National Dex, however they aren't exactly Post-Game because you can access them early on. Hmm, decisions, decisions... - Added the Useful Lists section which has an easy to read listing of all of the Held Items, Key Items, TMs/HMs, Poketch Applications, and important places and people. Hopefully this will help answer everyone's questions before they are asked, plus it saves you the time of having to wade through the Walkthrough to find what you are looking for. - Fixed a few typoes here and there. - I feel so sad only adding .05 to the version number after adding almost 100KB of content. Ugh. I'm going to mark this as "complete" and make it version 1.00 in the next update, where I cover the northeast island. Version 0.90 (10/30/06 - 370KB) - Covered sections 5.9.1. (Route 223) through 5.9.3. (The Pokemon League). Doesn't seem like a lot, but it really was. - Also added section 5.9.0. to list all of the optional areas you can revisit now that you can use Waterfall. - Added Route 210 to the list of locations that you can visit after you can use Rock Climb (see section 5.8.0.). - The Walkthrough now covers from the beginning of the game to the end! Not going to mark it as complete just yet, though. I'm going to add all of the Post-Game events first. - Renamed section 2. to "Version History & Future Updates" so I can put all of the updates I have planned for this Walkthrough in here as well. - Added two more credits to section 9. - Oops, I realized I forgot to update the version number in the last update, ha ha ha, silly me, I knew that would happen eventually. Version 0.80 (10/25/06 - 331KB) - Covered sections 5.8.1. (Mio City) through 5.8.14. (Nagisa Gym). This took close to forever due to all of the events that happen in this part of the game. - Added Cave of Doubt (Secret Area) to the Optional Areas (section 6.8.). - Added a ASCII-rendition of the World Map to the Translation Guide (in section 4.). - Fixed numerous things throughout the Walkthrough based on information that was either sent in via e-mail or checked on my Pearl version's playthrough. - Did some slight graphical updates on the Walkthrough, changing the section headers and such to a new look. - Added another site to the list of sites able to use this Walkthrough. - Ran out of time to add more questions to the Frequently Asked Questions section of this guide. Oh well, I'll try do that in the next update. - Added two new bits to the Credits section. Version 0.70 (10/18/06 - 262KB) - Covered sections 5.7.1. (Tengan Mountain) through 5.7.6. (Kissaki Gym). - Renamed "Royal Relic" to "Tengan Mountain" to help avoid confusion and remain more consistant in the recognized names for things. - Added Route 211 (West) to section 5.2. as 5.2.13., and reordered Hakutai Gym as 5.2.14. - Added a bit about the Ruin Maniac's Grotto in Route 214 (section 5.5.4.). Version 0.60 (10/17/06 - 238KB) - Covered sections 5.6.1. (Route 218) through 5.6.3. (Mio Gym). - Added Steel Island to the Optional Areas (section 6.7.). - Finally designed an AWESOME logo for the Walkthrough in ASCII! Woohoo! - Fixed, like, one or two typoes. Version 0.50 (10/16/06 - 216KB) - Covered sections 5.5.1. (Nomose City) through 5.5.9. (Yosuga Gym). Also covered all of the optional things you can do after you can use Surf in section 5.6.0. - Added Tatara Ironworks to the Optional Areas (section 6.6.). - Added the location of some items, as well as Pokemon to catch to older sections that I missed before. - Fixed the location of the Move Relearner. - Fixed a lot of typoes. I am ALWAYS getting Kotobuki and Kurogane City mixed up. Argh! - Also added ASCII for the Japanese "Yes" and "No" to the Translation section. - Decided to up the version number a whole .2 points instead of .1 due to the fact that I've gotta be at least half way through, plus a lot of extra areas are covered. 0.40 just didn't seem to do it justice. Version 0.30 (10/15/06 - 166KB) - Covered sections 5.4.1. (Tobari City) through 5.4.5. (Nomose Gym). - Replaced section 5.A. with 5.4., since that is where you're supposed to go (as I thought). The Pokemon Mansion and Proud Garden sections have been moved to the Optional Areas (section 6.4.). - Added the Zui Ruins, Pokemon Mansion and Proud Garden, and the Safari Zone to the Optional Areas. - Included where to get the Raising Checker Poketch Application in the Zui Town section, as a note. (You get it after hatching 5 Eggs.) - Fixed a few more typoes. - Added another Frequently Asked Question. Version 0.20 (10/11/06 - 147KB) - Covered sections 5.3.10. (Lost Tower) through 5.3.15. (Tobari Gym). - I can't believe it took me two days just to get from one town to another. I guess it makes sense seeing as I'm a total information geek and have to explore every single area before I progress to the next one. I mean, my play time was at 27:00+ when I got my third badge, ugh! Enough ranting! - Fixed Hyouta's gender... Sorry, but he looked like a girl. Now he's just one of many feminine men in Pokemon... with a hardhat! - Updated a few things earlier in the FAQ. Also changed 5.3.10. from Zui Town to the Lost Tower and changed Zui Town to 5.3.11., because you can go to the Tower that early and you might as well pick up HM04 while you are in the area rather than forget later. - Added another question to the Frequently Asked Questions. Version 0.13 (10/9/06 - 111KB) - Covered sections 5.3.1 (Hakutai City) through 5.3.9 (Route 209). - Added the Optional Areas section along with the optional areas "Forest Manor" and "Cave of Doubt", both of which seem to be optional at this point. - Fixed a few minor errors throughout the guide. (I mean, come on, it said that Version 0.10 was made in 10/4/05, haha! My bad!) - Added a link to the pictures and Pokedex, since a lot of people want to see that stuff anyway. - Added some commonly asked questions to the Frequently Asked Questions section. - Allowed two new sites usage of using this FAQ. Version 0.10 (10/7/06) - Initial release of the Walkthrough. Setting version # at 0.10 since I am, by my estimations, roughly 10% through writing the Walkthrough part. - Only the Walkthrough is available for the time being. Other sections will follow in later releases. - Covered sections 5.1.1 (Twinleaf Town) through 5.2.13 (Hakutai City Gym). ,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.

( s5. WALKTHROUGH | :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ) `~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.0.0. Getting Started |________________________________________________) At the beginning of a new game, you will be greeted by Professor Rowan. He will then let you ask him questions about the game controls, but since it is all in Japanese, you will probably just want to select the third option down. If you do find yourself in one of the first two options, keep in mind that whenever it shows the red DS symbol inside of the text on-screen, you will need to (or, often times, simply have the option to) use the touch screen to make a selection. He will then explain to you about Pokemon, and will instruct you to open a Poke Ball. A Poke Ball will appear on the touch screen. Simply touch the center of it, and a Munchlax will pop out. After putting the Munchlax away, you will be able to choose whether to play as a Male or Female character. Just highlight the one you want to play as and press A. It makes no significant impact on the gameplay and is merely personal preference (to my knowledge). (For the sake of this Walkthrough, I am going to assume that you are playing as a Male character.) You will then be prompted to enter a name, which can be up to 7 letters, numbers, or symbols. After entering your name, your "rival" will be shown on screen and you will be prompted to give him a name as well. Same rules apply, except there are different default names for him. For the sake of this walkthough, I am going to refer to him as Rival. Yeah, pretty original nickname for him, huh? You will then be shrunk into the game, and your journey will begin. _____________________________________________________________________________ / | s5.1. Coal Badge | / `-'------------------'------------------------------------------------------` ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.1.1. Twinleaf Town |__________________________________________________) There will be a news article on TV about a Red Gyarados in some mountain. But the news article will then end, and you will have control over your character. Notice the Wii in your room. Game Freak and Nintendo are such teases! Proceed to head down the stairs where you will be greeted by your Mother. She will instruct you to go and see Rival. On your way out, she'll say something else. Leave the house and make your way to the northeastern-most house and Rival will pop out of the door. He'll start to run off, but must have forgotten something as he heads back inside. Go in after him, heading up to the second floor, and he'll leave. Go north, up to Route 201, and you'll find Rival. He'll talk about the Red Gyarados on TV and will follow you. Take him over to the west (you can't go east yet), in to the forest. If you want to save before picking your starter Pokemon (for trying to get a certain gender, positive stats, shiny, etc), do so before entering the forest. Inside of the forest, by the lake, you will see Professor Rowan and Dawn. After some dialogue between them, they'll notice the two of you, and will then leave. However, the Professor forgot his suitcase, as you and Rival quickly discover. As you approach it, though, you are attacked by some wild Pokemon! Now is the time that you'll be able to choose your Starting Pokemon, so choose wisely! .----------------------------. | TURTWIG (Turtle) GRASS | '--.-------------------------`._________________________________ | Turtwig, the Turtle Pokemon, is a pretty solid choice. It | | has great Defense and Attack, although it is pretty slow. | | Fortunately, it will be able to take hits throughout the | | game, which is a good thing. It learns Razor Leaf pretty | | early on, too, giving it a nice offensive attack. Later | | on, Turtwig will eventually evolve into Grotle, followed | | by Torterra, which is Grass / Ground and capable of | | unleashing Earthquake. | .----------------------------.__________________________________| | CHIMCHAR (Monkey) FIRE | '--.-------------------------`._________________________________ | Chimchar, the Monkey Pokemon, is all about doing damage. | | It learns a wide variety of various Physical-based attacks | | and it has the Attack stat to use them fairly well. | | Although it may have difficulty with the first Gym, it | | will prove to be a strong fighter during the rest of your | | journey. When Chimchar evolves into Monferno at Level 14, | | it will become part Fighting-type as well and will start | | learning Fighting-type moves to utilize its second type. | | Its final form, Infernape, is also part Fighting-type, and | | is also quite fast to boot. | .----------------------------.__________________________________| | PIPLUP (Penguin) WATER | '--.-------------------------`._________________________________ | Piplup, the Penguin Pokemon, is, unfortunately, not that | | great early on in the game. It doesn't learn any strong | | moves until Bubblebeam, which is Level 24 at it's second | | stage. However, its forms have good Special Attack, and | | its final Evolution, Empoleon, is part Metal-type, making | | it resistant to most any attacks. | |____________________________________________________________| You will have to fight against a Level 2 Starly. Just keep using your Pokemon's first attack and you will win. Rival will take the Pokemon that you are weak to. Afterward, Dawn will return and take back the suitcase. Leave the forest, and then you and Rival will run into Dawn and the Professor again. He will notice that the two Pokemon that are missing, but will then leave and Dawn will follow, telling you to come to the lab in Sandgem Town. You will then be taken back home, and your Mother will tell you to go to Sandgem Town, followed by giving you the Running Shoes. Now you can hold in B while moving to run, woohoo! ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.1.2.

Do so, and make your way east bound until you get to Sandgem Town. I would also recommend fighting 2 or 3 battles to get up to Level 6. If your HP gets below 10, you should return back to your house and speak with your Mother to heal your Pokemon. ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.1.3. Sandgem Town |___________________________________________________) Upon arriving in Sandgem Town, Dawn will be waiting for you there, and she will lead you to the Professor's Lab. Rival will then walk out just then and will run off. Dawn will take you inside. Inside, after a bit of talking, the Professor will decide to give you the Pokemon you chose. You can then give it a nickname, if you desire. Eventually, he will ask you if you want to travel throughout Sinnoh and catalog information on the different Pokemon in it. Say yes, and you will receive the Pokedex. After some more dialogue, Dawn will receive the remaining starter Pokemon. Leave the building, and then Dawn will take you around the town, showing you the different features (such as the Pokemon Center and Poke Mart). She'll then head north, up to Route 202, and won't let you pass. Return back to your house and speak with your Mother. She'll heal your Pokemon, and will then give you the Note. Lots more dialgoue here, followed by Rival's mother walking in, eventually giving you another key item (Parcel). She will tell you to go to Jubilife City to give it to Rival. ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.1.4.

After she catches a Bidoof, she will give you 5 Poke Balls. I would recommend buying five more, though, just in case, as well as 3 or so Potions (for when it gets rough). Whenever you're done catching some Pokemon, continue past where Dawn was and you'll have to start fighting Trainers along your path. The first one will only have a Level 5 Starly and is pretty easy. Battle your way through the other two Trainers, and you will eventually reach Jubilife City. ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.1.5. Jubilife City |__________________________________________________) When you arrive, Dawn will tell you how many Pokemon you've caught and will tell you to visit the Trainer School. She says that Rival is there. Then, she leaves. The Trainer School is the house right to the left of the Pokemon Center. Enter, and then talk to Rival. You'll give him the Parcel and inside it will be 2 Town Maps. He decides to give you the second one. He then sets his sights for Oreburgh City to go to the Gym there. He'll say some other stuff, and then leave. While you're in the Pokemon School, you can fight the two Trainers on the blue carpet if you want some EXP. __________ .' TRAINERS `.___________________,----. | School Boy ($ 120 ) `-.--------------.-----------.---`----< | Abra | PSY | L 6 | M | .-'--------------'-----------`.__,----.' | School Girl ($ 120 ) `-.--------------.-----------.---`----< | Abra | PSY | L 6 | M | `--------------'-----------'-----'---' The Abras both know only Hidden Power and shouldn't be too difficult for any of your Pokemon at Level 8 or above. You can talk to the boy after battling both of the two to receive TM10 (Hidden Power). As you try and go past the School, a man in a suit will approach you and will tell you that he'll give you a Poketch (short for Poke Watch) if you can bring him three coupons. He'll also tell you that there are three campaign clowns in town, and each of them has a coupon. The clowns are wearing a yellow outfit, with a yellow hat that has two little white balls on the top of it. Each jester will ask you a trivia question. They can be found in the following locations: - Behind the Pokemon Center - Outside of the Poketch Company (west side of town) - In front of the TV Station (north side of town) Answer yes to any of their questions and you'll receive one of three Poketch Coupons. Once you have all 3 coupons, return to the man (he will be standing by the Pokemon Center) and he will give you the Poketch. The Poketch has some pretty handy features that are covered in the Poketch section of this guide. You can get the Old Rod right now if you head west past the Poketch Company and talk to the Fisherman in the building. Answer Yes and he'll give you the Old Rod, which you can use to catch things like... Magikarp. To fish, just use the Old Rod near a body of water and wait until a "!" appears over your head. When the "!" appears, press the A button, and you'll start the battle. You can try it out by exiting the building onto Route 218, although there really isn't anything else there other than a dock ... for now. Anyway, if you want to get in a little extra training, go north of Jubilife City to Route 204. Otherwise, now that you have the Poketch, head east to Route 203. ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.1.6.

If you started with Chimchar, I strongly recommend catching one and training it so it learns Absorb. It will come in handy later, trust me. There's also three Trainers to battle to help you get money and EXP, so help yourself. If you go inside of the cave to the back, you can pick up a Antidote, and can also fight Geodudes and Zubats. ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.1.7.

He will use a L7 Starly and then a L9 of the Pokemon that he started with. The Starly should be pretty easy, although the starter can be a bit more challenging. If you picked Piplup, you're probably not going to be having a fun time against the Turtwig he will use since it likes to use Withdraw a lot. A Starly of your own at Level 9 or higher (for Wing Attack) is a good way to counter that. After beating him, he will run off toward Oreburgh City to try and challenge the Gym Leader there. Now, there's quite a few Trainers to fight along the way. They're all pretty easy, though, but will give some good EXP for your Pokemon, so I would recommend fighting all that you can, running back to the Pokemon Center in case you get weak. Make your way through the Trainers and you'll find a cave entrance. If you don't have any Water- or Grass-type attacks in your Pokemon move pool, you should definitely go back and heal before you enter. I'd recommend doing that anyway, just to be on the safe side.

It's a real pain to catch, so if you intend on catching it, make sure that you lower its HP to the red zone, and be prepared to throw 10+ Poke Balls at it. In the second area of the mine, take a left when the path branches and jump down the ledge. Pick up the Escape Rope, and then fight with the Worker there if you want to. Keep going and then talk to the guy with the hardhat on. He'll use Rock Smash on an adjacent rock, and then introduce himself as Roark, the Gym Leader. He'll then invite you to come to the Gym to challenge him. Woohoo. Pick up the Potion, and then fight against the Worker (optional). When you're all done down here, find your way back to the entrance, heal up at the Pokemon Center, and get ready for your first Gym Battle! ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.1.11.

The Trainers in here all use Rock- type Pokemon, which is pleasant if you started with Piplup or Turtwig. However, if Chimchar is your Starting Pokemon, then you might have a bit of difficulty. Definitely make sure that you train your Chimchar to Level 14 or higher so it will evolve into Monferno and learn Mach Punch. If you have a Level 13+ Budew, you will stand a much nicer chance, because its Mega Drain will do a ton of damage to everything in here. Definitely use one (catch one if you don't already have it) if you ran into any difficulties in the Mine (or cannot handle the Trainers in the Gym). After getting past the two Youngsters, you'll get to go head-to-head against the Gym Leader that you met in the Mine, Roark. _______________ |.~~~~~~~~~~~~~.\________________,-----., || BOSS BATTLE `~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| $1680 |\ |\ Leader Roark '._____.'| `*\==============v===========v=====v===/#| |*| Geodude | RCK / GRD | L12 | M |#| |*|--------------^MOVES:-----^-----^---|#| |*| [ Rock Throw ] [ Stealth Rock ] |#| |*| [ ] [ ] |#| |*|____________________________________|#| >*>=============v===========v=====v==<#< |*| Onix | RCK / GRD | L12 | M |#| |*|--------------^MOVES:-----^-----^---|#| |*| [ Stealth Rock ] [ Rock Throw ] |#| |*| [ Screech ] [ ] |#| |*|____________________________________|#| >*>=============v===========v=====v==<#< |*| Cranidos | RCK | L14 | M |#| |*|--------------^MOVES:-----^-----^---|#| |*| [ Headbutt ] [ Pursuit ] |#| |*| [ Leer ] [ ] |#| |*/____________________________________\#| `'======================================'` __________________________________ |Marriland's Pokemon at this point:| |_____.---------------------.______| | - Prinplup Lv16 | | - Shinx Lv13 | | - Onix Lv 9 | | - Budew Lv 5 | | - Zubat Lv 4 | | - Bidoof Lv 3 | '---------------------' Roark starts off by using two Pokemon that you should be somewhat familiar in fighting by now: Geodude and Onix. The Geodude knows Stealth Rock, which, after it's been used, will damage any Pokemon that you switch in. Against Geodude, use Bubble (not Metal Claw, if you have it), Razor Leaf, Mach Punch, or Mega Drain. If you have none of those attacks at your disposal, use your strongest Special-based attacks, because Geodude has a lot weaker Special Defense than it does Defense. Onix comes out next, although fortunately its stats make it fairly tame. Just give it the same treatment you gave Geodude and you'll be fine, although avoid using Mach Punch or any other Physical-based attack here unless you use something like Leer first, because Onix has ridiculously high Defense (Razor Leaf will still cut it, though). Lastly, Roark brings out his Cranidos, which is like a Rock dinosaur thingy. Be careful, because this thing has INSANELY high attack (at least 40) and is capable of doing a lot of damage with its Headbutt attack. Take it out with Mega Drain, Razor Leaf, Metal Claw (or Bubble, if your Piplup hasn't evolved yet), or Mach Punch. Those attacks will do the most damage to it. After your victory, he will give you the Coal Badge, which will allow you to use Rock Smash (remember that?) outside of battle, and TM76, which contains Stealth Rock. Stealth Rock isn't really too good of a move to teach your Pokemon in-game, so I wouldn't advice teaching it to any of your Pokemon for now. Heal up at the Pokemon Center, save your game, and then head back to the Oreburgh Gate. Rival will bump into you and tell you that the next Gym in in Eterna City. The path to Eterna City from Route 207 requires a Bicycle, so it's impossible to take that Route, but you can take the path from Jubilife City to get there instead. So, looks like it's time to go back to Jubilife City! DETOUR ALERT: You can take a quick detour to Route 207 to the north of Oreburgh City to find two Poke Balls and catch a Machop. (See section 5.2.1.) On your way through the Oreburgh Gate, you can take the north path and use Rock Smash to find a basement area with two items (TM70, which contains Flash, and Stardust, which you can sell for cash). You can do more here later on, so keep that in mind. _____________________________________________________________________________ / | s5.2.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with Double Battling, you basically just get to select which Pokemon you're attacking now, and there are two Pokemon on each side of the field. Fortunately, Dawn's Pokemon is way stronger than either of the Team Galactic Grunts, plus you still have your Pokemon, so these two should be a piece of cake. After the battle, they'll run off. After some more dialogue, the two will leave, but you'll then be approached by another man who tells you that the TV Station is now open and will give you a Fashion Case. You can collect little accessories that you can use to dress up your Pokemon with inside of the TV Station. Before leaving, you might as well check out the TV Station. Inside, on the first floor, you can fight against random Trainers in the karaoke corner. These Trainers have fairly high level Pokemon in comparison to what you've been fighting against, so be careful.

Definitely focus your attacks on only one Pokemon at a time to make the fight easier in the long run. After winning, you'll get a TON of money. You can find the Dress Up Room on the 2nd Floor. It's in the room in the wall (by the stairs). Before entering, though, talk to the man in the hall to receive a Mask of your Starting Pokemon for your Accessories. Now you can go into the room, and just talk to the guy guarding the door, and then you'll get to choose a Pokemon to dress up. Choose one, and then dress it up! After dressing it up, you will need to give it a title, and then it will be displayedo n the wall. On the 3rd Floor, you can find a whole ton of Records and stuff. The 4th Floor has absolutely nothing of interest, so don't even bother. Whenever you're done dressing up your Pokemon and whatnot, head back to where you encountered the Team Galactic dudes and head northbound back to Route 204 (North). ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.2.3.

There's not a whole ton to do in this town right now, but there are some items you can pick up. For starters, go inside of the red house that's directly north of the entrance to town and talk to the girl inside. Answer yes to her question, and she will give you TM88 (Pluck). Inside of the Flower Shop, talk to the lady on the left to receive the Sprayduck, which you can use to water Berries to make them produce more when you pick them. If you talk to the lady on the right, she will give you a random berry once per day. Lastly, talking to the blonde-haired lady will let you purchase accessories for your Pokemon for Dress Up by exchanging Berries.

Approach them, and they'll both start a fight with you, one after the other. After beating them, they'll run off, and the old man will give you the Works Key that they dropped. Hmm, I wonder what that could be used for? He also gives you some Honey. You can either use Honey outside of battle - in a place where you can encounter wild Pokemon - to start a fight against a wild Pokemon immediately, similarly to using the Sweet Scent attack outside of battle. Or, you can slather the Honey on the golden trees that you'll see all over the place, and then come back in between six and nine hours to (hopefully) find the tree shaking. The tree will then have a random Pokemon from this list, with some Pokemon being rarer than others: - Wurmple (common) - Silcoon (Diamond-only) - Cascoon (Pearl-only) - Combee (uncommon) - Burmy (uncommon) - Cherubi (uncommon) - Aipom (rare) - Heracross (rare) - Munchlax (very rare) If you wait longer than 24 hours, the Honey on the tree will lose its potency, and whatever Pokemon would have been on it will be gone. Also, saving your game and restarting it has no effect on the Pokemon that is on the Honey tree, but it can affect the wild Pokemon's level and gender if you reset, so that is useful if you're looking for, say, a female Combee. Now that you have the Works Key, return to the Valley Windworks and open the door. ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.2.8.

Yep, every encounter in this forest will be a Double Battle. She uses a Level 15 Chansey that knows Egg Bomb and Softboiled. Egg Bomb does a surprisingly high amount of damage, actually. Anyway, how wild Double Battles work is you can only catch throw a Poke Ball when there is one Pokemon left. Chansey can unfortunately make this a bit of a burden, because it will often times Egg Bomb the wrong Pokemon and use Softboiled even if it doesn't really need to. One interesting point is that you will be fully healed after every single battle while Cheryl is with you, which makes Training here pretty cool, actually. And, Chansey doesn't seem to leech any of the EXP you get from fights. This place is actually somewhat of a maze, so I'll help with directions. Start by going east, then north, battling the Bug Catcher and Lass. Keep going along the path, until you find two Psychics. They both have Abras with Hidden Power, but they're pretty easy. Then, keep going south until you see two Bug Catchers. If you want the EXP, fight 'em the go north at the next branch; otherwise, go north and take the first right. Then, go north through the Psychics if you want to fight them, or west if you would rather not. Either way, make your way to the northeastern area of the forest, then go north. Now head west, a bit more north (some Honey is west, though), then east and Cheryl will thank you for taking her out of the forest and leave.

You can also pick up a Potion in the muddy area south of the exit of the bridge. ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.2.12. Eterna City |___________________________________________________) ,-------._________________ | ITEMS | Explorer Kit | `-------| Super Potion | | HM01 (Cut) | '-----------------' Ah, finally, the city of your second Gym Battle. Before you rush to the Gym, you might want to take some time to check the town out, because there's a bit to do here. You can change your Pokemon's Nickname by talking to the old man inside of the tall building next to the Poke Mart (southern side of town). Also, inside of the same building, you can trade a Buizel (which you can catch just outside of the city) for a Chatot. You can also pick up the Explorer Kit by talking to the old man in the building to the right of the Pokemon Center. You can use this to dig into Sinnoh Underground, which is a large mini-game where you can dig for items to help build your Secret Base, play games with other people over a local DS connection, and dig for buried artifacts like fossils. Two items of interest that you can pick up in the Underground right now are the Skull Fossil (Diamond) and the Shield Fossil (Pearl). You can take these fossils to the Museum in Oreburgh City to turn them into Cranidos and Shieldon respectively. If you explore the northern area of town, a gothic-looking chick will stop you and notice your Pokedex. She'll recognize you working for Professor Rowan, introduce herself as Cynthia, and will talk about how she's been investigating Pokemon mythology. She'll eventually give you HM01 (Cut), and then leave. You can't use this yet, though; you have to beat the Eterna City Gym Leader first. Further along that path, you'll find a shop that sells those Energy/Herb items that decrease the happiness of your Pokemon. They're cheaper than the normal healing items, but they come at the price of lowering your Pokemon's happiness. Chances are, you won't really care about this, unless you're trying to raise a Pokemon like Budew, so you can buy some of these items as a cheap alternative to regular items. Buying a few Revival Herbs is not a bad idea, especially since Revives are hard to get at this point in the game. If you keep going, you'll eventually stumble upon a Route with some Trainers, a cave and an item, which is covered in section 5.2.13. ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.2.13.

Ponyta is particularly helpful if you're having difficulties in Eterna Gym. You can Rock Smash the rock by the Hiker to find another Trainer with a pretty strong Hoothoot. But south of her is TM12 (Taunt). There's also nothing to find inside of the cave for now except for a Revive hidden in the rock near the door (examine the rock to find it). You'll need Strength (much later in the game) in order to proceed any further. ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.2.14.

The second one can be found by making your way down the left-most corridor, at the dead-end. The third is hiding behind the three small trees near the entrance to the room. And lastly, the final Trainer, is in the very northeastern-most corner, which is accessable by taking the first right from the entrance all the way to the end. After defeating all four of them, Gardenia will appear in the northern area of the room.

You should be able to take it out with little difficulty. Turtwig knows Reflect, which will half the effectiveness of your Physical- based attacks for 5 turns. Plus, it has pretty high Defense. Her Roserade is quite tricky to beat, though, because it's both strong and at a high level. I had my Onix use Screech against it until it was Knocked Out with Magical Leaf (and the Reflect wore off). Roserade likes to start out by Paralyzing things with Stun Spore, so watch out and administer Parlyz Heals or Cheri Berries as required. After beating her, you will receive the Forest Badge, which lets you use Cut outside of battle, and makes it so traded Pokemon up to Level 30 will obey you. She'll also give you another present, TM86 (Grass Knot). Woohoo! _____________________________________________________________________________ / | s5.3.

You can also use Cut on the bush in the northeast part of the lot to access a path that will take you to TM46, Thief. After getting that, enter the black building. You'll need to fight the two Grunts guarding the stairs (Double Battle). On the second floor, there will be lots of Galactic Goons on computers. The first and third one from the left will fight you if you talk to them. Go up to the third floor, fight the Grunt and the Scientist.

Don't be afraid to switch out Pokemon if you are having difficulty hitting with your attacks. After beating her, she'll run off, and the man will be thankful to you for getting his Pokemon back and will invite you to come to the Bicycle Shop. Leave the building and go to the Bicycle Shop. Talk to the guy that you just saved and he'll give you the Bicycle. To use the Bicycle, you have to be outside or in a cave. You can press B to change gears for different speeds and such.

Share. This is a very helpful item for raising new Pokemon, because you can even train weaker Pokemon without fear of them getting Knocked Out or without having to switch your Active Pokemon every fight. There are a ton of Trainers down Cycling Road, which you must use a Bicycle to ride down. They use a variety of types, so just kind of use whatever works well on them. You'll get a good amount of money, as well as EXP, for beating all of them, so I would definitely do so. Eventually, you'll reach the bottom of Cycling Road. You can talk to the blonde-hair girl in the station to receive a Flag for your Accessory Case (can be used for Dress Up).

It's completely optional, though, so just head south if you don't mind missing out on a chance to catch some new Pokemon. In the area, you can find several Pokemon that you haven't seen before (or, at the very least, haven't encountered in the wild). Bronzor is a pretty hard-to- find Pokemon in this Route, but makes a great tank. Ponyta is also a really good Fire-type Pokemon, and if you started with either Piplup or Turtwig, you will probably feel lacking in the Fire department (no joke there). You can also pick up the Poison Barb to help boost the power of your Pokemon's Poison- type attacks. Near the back of Route 206, you'll find a cave. The cave is called the Wayward Cave, and unless you're feeling like exploring a frustrating dungeon maze without too great of a reward, I'd advise staying away from it. If you are really feeling up to it, please see Section 6.8. about the Wayward Cave. On the bright side, you can stop inside to have a better chance of finding a Bronzor, in case you were looking for one. Whenever you're done in Route 207, just return to the exit of Cycling Road, take a few steps south, and you're already in Route 207. ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.3.4.

Regardless of which hand you pick, she'll give you the Vs. Seeker, which is almost exactly like the Vs. Seeker from FireRed and LeafGreen. It's a really nice item to use to fight Trainers again and again to get lots of money and EXP. She'll also give you the Dowsing Machine app for your Pokektch similar to the Item Finder in previous games. To use it, change the Poketch until you see crosshairs, then touch the screen. If there are any hidden items nearby, they will show up as a dot on your Poketch. Just keep moving around until the dot is in the middle of the crosshairs, then take one step away and press A on the previous spot (as if there were an item there; remember, pressing A while you are still ON the spot won't do you any good), and you'll get it. You can pick up a Revive in this way by doing that right after you get the Dowsing Machine. There are now some optional areas you can go to at this point. You don't have to visit any of them, but you might want to check them out. ,---------------. | JUBILIFE CITY | `--.------------'------------------------------------------------------. | You can return to the Poketch Company Building and talk to the | | President (on the first floor, by the receptionist) to receive | | the Memo Pad Poketch Application. | |___________________________________________________________________| ,---------------. | OREBURGH GATE | `--.------------'------------------------------------------------------. | In the basement of the cave (requires Rock Smash), there's a ramp | | that you can use your Bike to get across.

As you approach the stairs, a man with blue hair will walk towards you, and will then talk to you about Sinnoh and Mt. Coronet. He'll then leave. There really isn't anything much left to do here for the time being, although after you get Surf later on in the game, you'll want to come back and explore the areas blocked off by water.

Coronet, Route 208, there are some more Trainers for you to fight, and three of their Pokemon should be entirely new sights to see (Combee, Mime Jr., and Bonsly), so you will probably want to fight the said Trainers to add them to your Pokedex. You can pick up an X Speed by taking the first bridge north, after fighting the Black Belt. You can also pick up a Poke Ball if you have a Pokemon with Rock Smash on you after crossing the second bridge to the east. After crossing the bridges, you'll reach some tall grass with some more Trainers in it. You can catch Psyducks and Bibarels, which are the evolution of Bidoofs, here. You can also talk to the Black Belt in the southeast corner of the tall grass to receive the Odd Keystone. There's also a house in the area, by a patch of berries. Inside of the house, you can talk to the Berry Master (the old man) to receive a random Berry once per day. If you talk to the little girl and answer yes to the question she asks, she'll give you a new Poketch Application, the Berry Searcher. The Berry Searcher will show you a mini map of Sinnoh and will point out any berry patches with berries in them. The lady in the house will also sell you different kinds of mulch that apparently helps with growing berries. Not quite sure exactly how yet, though. After you're done here, make your way through the building to the east and enter Hearthome City. ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.3.7. Hearthome City |_________________________________________________) As you enter town, you'll stop a Buneary from feeling the town and its Trainer will chase after it. She'll thank you for stopping it, introduce herself as Keira, one of the Contest Judges, and put the Buneary back in its Poke Ball, inviting you to come to the Contest Hall so she can thank you. Hearthome City is a pretty large city. It's all about Pokemon Contests, and all of the inhabitants are crazy over them. Some of them have even traveled from Hoenn to participate in the Contests! Inside of the Pokemon Fan Club, which is located directly to the east of the Poke Mart (it has a red roof), are some Pokemon fanatics. Talk to the President (the guy in the suit) and you'll receive the Poffin Case, which allows you to make Poffins (Bread made from berries; think Poke Blocks from R/S/E). You can find the Poffin House in the house adjacent to the Poke Mart. This is where you go to make Poffins. Unfortunately, I do not have any information on the minigame, so you're on your own there for the time being. Enter the building next to the Pokemon Fan Club and go up the elevator. Talk to the girl up there, and she will give you the Shell Bell, a very useful Held Item which restores your Pokemon's HP whenever it damages a Pokemon. Very helpful. Another noteworthy mention is Bebe, the Bill/Lanette of Diamond and Pearl. You can find her in the house to the right of the Pokemon Center. She doesn't really give you anything after talking to her, but when accessing the PC, the Pokemon Box system will now show up as "Bebe's PC". Talk to the person with purple hair standing outside of the Contest Hall. She will introduce herself as the Hearthome City Gym Leader, Fantina. However, she'll just leave, and won't even return to the Gym for now. Enter the Contest Hall, and you'll see your Mother and Keira. Keira will give you the Glitter Powder Accessory, and your Mother will give you a Tuxedo (or a Dress if you are playing as the female character). Keira will then leave toward the waiting room, and then your Mother will leave out the entrance. You can try out a whole ton of fun Contest stuff if you want to at this point. There's a lot more you can do with contests, so check out the Contest section! As you try to leave Hearthome City, Rival will appear and will challange you to a battle. __________ .'

Fortunately, you should have a pretty fair team of Pokemon yourself now, so you should be able to handle whatever he throws at you. After beating him, he'll tell you about the next Gym, which is in Veilstone City, and will then run off. On your way out of town (to the east), talk to the Hiker guy, and if you have room in your Party, he will give you an Egg. Eggs hatch into a Level 1 Pokemon after a certain number of steps. This one in particular will hatch into a Happiny Egg after 10,496 steps, so you might want to carry it with you if you have room for it. You can evolve your Happiny into a Chansey if you use an Oval Stone on it while it's happy. Before leaving east, you might want to check out Amity Square to the north to pick up some useful items. ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.3.8. Amity Square |___________________________________________________) In the Amity Square, you get to spend some quality time with one of the cute Pokemon in your party. You will need to have one of several "cutesy" Pokemon in your party in order to get in. A list of all of the Pokemon you can bring into Amity Square are: - Pikachu - Clefairy - Psyduck - Pachirisu - Happiny - Buneary - Drifloon - Jigglypuff (after National Dex) - Torchic (after National Dex) - Skitty (after National Dex) - Shroomish (after National Dex) The receptionist will hold onto all of your other Pokemon and let that Pokemon follow you around. You can talk to your Pokemon by facing it and pressing A, as you would anything else, and there's a chance that it will give you an Accessory for your Accessory Case. There are also a few helpful items scattered around the area. You can find TM45 (Attract) in the northern part of the field, and you can find TM43 (Secret Power) in the southern part. In the northeastern corner, there will be two stone buildings that you can enter. The one on the left has an Amulet Coin hidden inside, and you can find a Spooky Plate outside of the building on the right. ____________________________________________________________________________ (_| s5.3.9.
