    ---------1. Intro---------Hello all! This is my first FAQ that Im doing go easy if Im doingsomething wrong. First of all; I love Diamond and Pearl and Imstrongly anticipating Platinum to come to the U.S so I spent most of mydays getting info or so much as a whisper on whats going on and now ithas all come to this. Now as a heads-up; THEIR WILL BE SPOILERS. Manyspoilers and this will only just go up to the battle with the Champion.When I put the wild pokemon Locations, it will be like this. (Pokemon-Where to Find-Chance to See It-Type)

    -----------------2. Legal Stuff-----------------I am not with Nintendo, the Pokemon Company or etc. by any means.Everything in this walkthrough is Copyright 2008 by Peacemaker 14.(Though I do give most of the credit to Psypoke as Ifound most of the information there).

Also you cant copy any part of this, you canprint it out if you like (Hey fool, you want to use up all your paper,

    fine I wont stop you.) Alright then, now that this is all done with,lets begin our adventure in Sinnoh!

  • 8/8/2019 Pokemon Platinum A

    3/39

    ----------------------3. The Game Intro----------------------You will see the usual thing in Pokemon games: Professor comes up,explains about Pokemon, you choose your gender, name, and then yourrivals name. Now youre ready to go.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------4.0 Roarks Gym-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    ------------------------4.1: Twinleaf Town------------------------Once the news is over, your rival will start talking to you. Godownstairs and your Mom will talk to you too before you leave. Go tothe top-left house in the town, when you go to the front door yourrival will bump into you, but will go back inside. Follow him in and goupstairs. Hell then go outside to Route 201, follow him.

    ------------------4.2: Route 201--------------------Route 201 Wild Pokemon-----------------------------------------------* Starly-Tall Grass-50%-Normal/Flying* Bidoof- Tall Grass- 40%- Normal* Kricketot- Tall Grass- 10%- Bug* Growlithe- Fire Red in GBA slot- Fire-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Professor Rowan will come to you both and will offer you a Pokemon:Turtwig, Chimchar and Piplup.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stats --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Turtwig:Grass TypeHP: 55ATK: 68DEF: 64SP. ATK: 45SP. DEF: 55SPD: 31EVO: Grotle at Lv18

    Torterra at Lv32Overall: Turtwig has the best Attack and Defense points compared to theothers, and once he goes to Torterra, hes part Ground type too. Nowthis is what I choose in Diamond and its been working out, the sadthing is that he is hopelessly slow. Grotle also learns Bite at Lv21 soyou can have something for the third Gym. Turtwig is able to learn Darkmoves along with Grass and Earthquake when he evolves at Torterra, buthe has some common weaknesses like Fire and Bug. But he is also immuneto Electric types. I say Turtwig is a good choice for people that havebeen playing for a while.

    Chimchar:

    Fire TypeHP: 44ATK: 58

  • 8/8/2019 Pokemon Platinum A

    4/39

    DEF: 44SP. ATK: 58SP. DEF: 44SPD: 61EVO: Monferno at Lv14

    Infernape at Lv36Overall: Speed is the trump card for Chimchar. He has a pretty good

    Attack and Special Attack but the Defense and Special Defense arepretty poor so youre going to need some tough moves to give Chimchar.When he gets to Monferno, he will be part Fighting type giving you anadvantage for the first gym. Infernape is an alright Pokemon, you gotyour ups and downs. He can give quite a beat down on some of the othertypes but has also acquired a weakness of Flying and Psychic type movesfrom what youll see from your rival. This guy is pretty good forveteran players or those who want a challenge because he has somedisadvantages in most gyms.

    Piplup:Water Type

    HP: 53ATK: 51DEF: 53SP. ATK: 61SP. DEF: 56SPD: 40EVO: Prinplup at Lv16

    Empoleon at Lv36

    Overall: Piplups Special Attack and Special Defense are better by alittle and the other stats are average. He also has a bigger array ofmoves to learn also. Once hes Empoleon you will be part Steel typegiving you quite the advantage. Empoleon has only 3 weaknesses, 11

    resistances and is immune to Poison-type attacks, and one of theresistances is the legendary Dragon types. Youll also start learningFlying type moves periodically, which will take care of your weaknessto Fighting. This is a choice for beginners or those who want an easywin.-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Professor Rowan will take his leave and you and your rival will testout your Pokemon. They are Lv5 and whatever Pokemon you choose, he willchoose the weakness of it.

    --Boss 1---Rival-------------------------------------------------------If you choose Turtwig:* Lv5 Chimchar: Fireo Scratch, LeerIf you choose Chimchar:* Lv5 Piplup: Water:o Pound, GrowlIf you choose Piplup:* Lv5 Turtwig: Grasso Tackle, Withdraw.

    Suggested Level: 5Advice: A very simple battle, keep hitting him and use Stat affecterslike Leer if needed.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    After the battle you will be home, fully healed. Talk to your Mom and

    Route 202 which is north of Sandgem.

    Suggested Lv: 20Advice: Chimchar or any flying type can deal with this place. If youhave their weaknesses you can win easily.(/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////)

    You will gain the Forest Badge and TM86-Grass Knot from Gardenia afteryour win.

    Suggested Lv: 22Advice: Why cant the Commanders have Bug Pokemon so we can sweep themeasily? Ah well, no sense complaining about it. Zubat isnt that muchof a challenge if youve been training with a Rock or Electric type.

    Skuntanks moves can be a little devastating if youre not careful.Bring some Antidotes just in case of Poison Gas. Youre going to need adefender for Night Slash because it has a high critical-hit ratio.-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    After you defeat Jupiter, Team Galactic will flee. The guy you savedwas the Bike Store Owner; go to his store south of the Pokemon center.You will also run into Cynthia and she will offer you a Togepi egg.Once you get the egg, go inside the shop and get the bike. Youll needto go back down to Oreburgh and enter Mt. Coronet there because youcant go far in the entrance in Eterna so go to Cycling Road, South ofEterna.

    ----------------------6.2: Cycling Road----------------------

    Before you go in Cycling Road go talk to the Aide for him to give youan Exp. Share but you need to have seen at least 35 pokemon. You haveto mount your bike before you go in Cycling Road.

    This is only a small faction of Mt. Coronet and trust me when I say thereal Mt. Coronet is longer and bigger. Just keep going right and youllsee Cyrus again, hell talk to you then hell leave. Keep going tillyoure at Route 208.

    ------------------6.6: Route 208------------------

    Nothing that useful except the man close to the tree in the South willgive you an Odd Keystone, which can get you Spiritomb by talking to

    people underground 32 times. So go to the right and youll be inHearthome City.

  • 8/8/2019 Pokemon Platinum A

    13/39

    -------------------------6.7: Hearthome City-------------------------

    Once youre in the city, a Buneary will run into you and its trainerwill come chasing after it. The trainer then asks if you could go tothe Pokemon Contest Center, a large gray building. Once youre inside

    you will see your Mom and will talk about Contests. Once thats over,find the woman in purple shes the next Gym Leader. Once you talked toher you should do a couple things: Go to the house next to the PokemonCenter to meet Bebe, she runs the Box Systems in the PC. She will giveyou an Eevee if you talk to her; make sure to keep a spot in your teamopen. Next, go to the house right of the Pokemart and talk to the OldMan. He will give you a Poffin Case. Now that those are done, lets goto the Gym.

    --------------------------6.8: Hearthome Gym--------------------------

    The gym will be dark, quite dark and the only sources of light is yourflashlight and the Duskull Eyes. What you have to do in this Gym isfind a Blue Tile with a picture on it, then go in the door with thesame picture on the Red Tile. As you move on, the pattern changes andif you pick the wrong door you have to start over.

    (--Boss 7---Hearthome Gym Leader Fantina------------------------------)* Lv24 Duskull: Ghosto Will-o-Wisp, Pursuit, Shadow Sneak, Future Sight* Lv24 Haunter: Ghost/Poisono Shadow Claw, Sucker Punch, Hypnosis, Confuse Ray* Lv26 Mismagius: Ghost

    o Shadow Ball, Psybeam, Magical Leaf, Confuse Ray

    Suggested Lv: 25-26Advice: This is going to be an annoying battle for you. Ghosts donthave much weaknesses and Confuse Ray will make you want to snap your DSin half. (but lets not do that) Get a Normal Type with non-normal andnon-fighting type moves so youre immune. Or if you have Turtwig thatknows Bite, use that like crazy on her Pokemon.(/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////)

    Once you defeat Fantina, you will gain the Relic Badge so you can useSurf outside of battle and TM65-Shadow Claw which is very good inbattle.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------7.0: Maylenes Gym-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    On the way out of Hearthome to the right, youll meet up with yourrival and will have a battle.

    Advice: Okay by now you should have a decent team. Maylene covered allher teams weaknesses and this wont be an easy feat. Okay, Medititecan killed by a basic Dark or Ghost type move or if you caught a Gastlyand did some training, but if you did catch one, be careful ofConfusion because it has 4x Weakness. I urge you to use Flying typescautiously against Meditite and Machoke. Their Rock Tomb can spelldisaster so youll need to work fast. Now for Mr. Wannabe Legendary:Lucario. He will give Fire types a hard time with Bone Rush. A Fightingtype can cause good damage to Lucario so try using that.(/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////)

    You will be given the Cobble Badge and TM60 Drain Punch witch works

    Youll face a couple of Grunts in a Double Battle. After this, SAVE!SAVE DARN YOU! Next you will be roped in a battle between Mars andJupiter and your rival comes right on que to help.

    * Lv46 Skuntank: Poison/Darko Night Slash, Flamethrower, Poison Jab, Smokescreen

    Suggested Lv: 50Advice: Dont be afraid to blast like crazy because youll be healedafter this battle. The rival makes poor decisions in this battle andthe only good thing about this is that he can take some hits too. Thething about this battle is that Mars will hand out Confuse Rays andJupiter will clean up. Both Bronzors need to be hit by Fire becausethey have Levitate and that makes us all mad. The Golbats can be killedby a Psychic, Electric, or Ice move. Purugly can be killed by aFighting type and Skuntank can be killed by a Ground.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Your rival will heal you and run off. Cyrus will summon Dialga andPalkia and that will cause Giratina to arise from the Torn World. Cyruswill disappear into the World and Cynthia will come, so jump in thevortex.

    ----------------------11.5: Torn World----------------------

    Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the place thats more evil than the IRSHeadquarters. This place and Giratinas new form is probably the reason

    you gotten this game. Follow Cynthia through some pretty crazy terrain.Jump the ledge to get to her and walk on a sunken patch to activate anelevator. Then follow her across the floating pieces of land and youllsee Mesprit so go towards him and you will fly onto the wall. When youget to the elevator with the two rocks, stand on the patch in themiddle to activate its movement. Then go to the patch on the nextplatform and the left patch after that, and youll fly onto a wall wereCynthias waiting. Go right as far as you can, then down left intoanother set of moving platforms. Take the top patches to the next twoplatforms and you will meet up with Cyrus. Now the patches can makevisible platforms invisible and vise-versa. Now head down, take a right,then go up and youll make a platform appear. Cross it then take thepath going down to your right. Now cross that and keep going rightuntil you get to a platform with five rocks. Activate it and cross thefloating platforms to the left. Jump the ledge and use Strength on aboulder and push it down to the lower level, now go on the elevator butdont use it yet. Go left and Mesprit will appear, telling you to dropthe boulder into the chasm below and head to the elevator with fiverocks on it and will ascend to the level above you. Head left and youwill be on a platform with disappearing objects so stick to the outsidewhile you make your way through. Go on the elevator with four rocks andyoull be taken back to the magic platforms. Now hop across, go downand turn right to another elevator with four rocks on it, which willtake you to Cyrus. Keep going and head up the wall and keep goingupward. Surf the waterfall and youll end up right of where Uxie and

    Mesprit were. Drop the boulder into the gap Azelf is hovering over. Goleft and take the elevator down. When the elevator stops moving, useStrength on the boulder and drop it close to the hole next to Uxie, and

    do the same for Mesprit and Azelf. Talk to Cynthia at the bottom level,and an elevator will appear to take you to Cyrus. Talk to him andbattle.

    Suggested Lv: 50-51Advice: Dont be afraid to hold back because Cynthia will heal yourteam when this battle is over. A Fighting type can take out Houndoom

    and Weavile easily, while the rest can be killed by an Electric type.Notice that Cyrus has many status afflicting moves which can be quitean annoyance. The biggest problem will be Weavile and his dangerousspeed.-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    After the battle, Cyrus will leave and you will be healed. Continuegoing up to meet Giratina and if you want capture him, I advise you tosave before this.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Giratina

    Origin FormGhost/DragonLv47------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Ominous Wind* Ancient Power* Dragon Claw* Shadow Force

    Advice: Dont use the Master Ball on him, and if you beat him, hellleave forever. Shadow Force makes Giratina invisible for one turn andstrikes at the next so be prepared. Having a Pokemon with a highDefense out would be a good idea for this and having Giratina sleepingor paralyzed can help too.(---------------------------------------------------------------------)

    Cynthia and Cyrus will talk a little, then examine the portal andyoull be sent to the Spring Path near Route 214.

    ---------------------------11.8: Sunnyshore City---------------------------

    The Fire-user from the Elite Four known as Flint will come to yousaying that the Gym leader has lost his spark for battling so talk tohim at the Lighthouse at the lower left corner of the city. Once youtalk to him, go to the Gym at the other side of town and youll seeFlint again. Talk to him and hell move aside from the Gym.

    The layout of the Gym is just like the one in Diamond and Pearls and

    Youll need to cross this Route to get to Victory Road so get somesupplies and get ready to leave. Before you go on the route, talk toJasmine and shell give you the Waterfall HM which youll need to getto Victory Road. So just keep going North.

    ------------------------12.2: Victory Road------------------------

    Before going into Victory Road youre going to need a Pokemon thatknows Rock Climb, Rock Smash, Surf, Waterfall, and Strength. It alsowouldnt be a bad idea to get some training done. Lets start goinginto the cave.

    Follow the Bridges and if it seems like a dead end, use Rock Climb, goleft but dont jump the ledges or youll be forced to start over, climbthe stairs and keep going past the trainer and youll see the path tothe next floor.

    Use Rock Smash and Strength on the boulders in your way. Youll needyour bike to get over some ramps to get a Max Elixir. Now go down fromthe entrance and use Rock Smash on the rocks in the way. Youll see two

    boulders, push the one furthest away and use Rock Smash on the rock inthe way and go right. Youll then see three rocks, push the top one tothe right then go up to the first floor again. Keep going right andyoull be in the basement.

    Once your down, use Surf on the right and then Waterfall, then followthe path to another Waterfall but dont descend it, just keep goingleft, go past the trainer and go to the stairs to the first floor ahead.Now on the path when it turns T-shaped head down and use Rock Climb onthe ledge on the right, the ledge on the left has the Dark Pulse TM.Now once youre up, cross the bridge and you are at the exit. Onceyoure out, use Surf then Waterfall up to the Pokemon League.

    ----------------------------12.3: Pokemon League----------------------------

    Whew, the Pokemon League, finally made it. This place has a PokemonCenter and Mart mixed together. Dont buy heal items yet because youllbe tempted to use them on what happens next. When come to the womanguarding the entrance to the Elite Four, your Rival will come for onelast battle.

    Suggested Lv: 55+Advice: Staraptor with Close Combat will give you a bit of trouble, soshock it into submission with an Electric type. Heracross has 4xweakness to Flying so be quick about your attacks. Snorlax can and willbe trouble with its high Defense and Rest, barrage it with Fightingtype moves. You should be familiar with the last three by now so hitthem where it hurts.-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Once thats over, heal up and start shopping, when you feel your readygo and fight the Elite Four. (It is quite possible to beat the EliteFour with Pokemon at least 50 but youll need plenty of heal items andRevives to get the job done.)

    Advice: Use Rock-Type moves for Yanmega and Vespiquen, Fire for Scizor,and Flying for Heracross. It confuses me how a Poison/Dark Type Drapionmade the cut in this team but it sure is dangerous. Use a strong Groundmove to kill him quickly because you will not like how strong it is.(---------------------------------------------------------------------)

    Advice: Grass is going to be your friend in here but the majority ofPokemon in Berthas team have a move that can destroy Grass types so dothis as quickly as possible. Water and Ice moves can also help withGliscor but be mindful of the elemental Fang moves he has.

    Advice: A Fighting type can take care of Houndoom. A Flying type hasInfernape covered. Water or Ground types can take care of the rest butbe careful of the Sunny Day-Solarbeam combo. If Sunny Day is still out,Solarbeam can be used whenever.(---------------------------------------------------------------------)

    Advice: Dark and Bug type moves are key in this fight, especially sinceDark is unaffected to Psychic. But I wouldnt use a Dark type on Espeonbecause of its Signal Beam move. Bronzong needs to be hit by a Firemove quickly before he uses Earthquake. Gallade has every weaknesscovered so youll need to work fast on this one.(---------------------------------------------------------------------)
