[CRSA] #488 Cresselia
==============================================================================

TYPE: Psychic 
LEVEL FOUND: 50
HM MOVES REQUIRED: HM02 Fly makes it much easier to do this.
ABILITY: Levitate
CATCH RATE: 3
SIGNATURE MOVE: Lunar Dance
BASE STAT TOTAL: 600
BASE STATS: 120 HP / 70 ATK / 120 DEF / 75 SATK / 130 SDEF / 85 SPD

OTHER NOTES:
- One of the five Platinum runners.
- Master Ball is highly recommended for Cresselia.
- Cresselia's stats and nature are set when she disappears from Fullmoon Island.

MOVES WHEN CAUGHT
-------------------
NAME           TYPE     CATEGORY   POWER    EXTRA EFFECTS
Mist           Ice      Other      ---      Protects the user from stat downs.
Aurora Beam    Ice      Special    65       10% chance of lowering ATK.
Future Sight   Psychic  Special    80       Strikes two turns after use.
Slash          Normal   Physical   70       High crtical-hit ratio.

Now here's a real defensive Pokemon. Cresselia sports extremely good defense
stats, having a max of 444 HP, 372 Defense and 394 Special Defense with their
respective natures. 

As for getting Cresselia, after getting the National Dex you must get to 
Canalave City. Once there, head into the house that is directly next to the 
city's port. There should be a boy in a bed, muttering about "Dark". Quite
obviously a problem with Darkrai. You must talk to this boy.

Talk to the mother too then head outside and talk to the sailor, who is also
the father of this child. He will ask you to go to Fullmoon Island to get the
Lunar Wing - agree to and you'll be taken to Fullmoon Island.

Follow the island around and enter the clearing. You will see a crescent-like
Pokemon there - this is Cresselia. Talk to it, and you'll be shown a picture
which is added to your Pokedex - then the Cresselia will fly away, leaving
a Lunar Wing for you to pick up. Take the Lunar Wing and heal the child in the
house, then start hunting for Cresselia in the same way that I suggested you
hunt for Mesprit. I personally like alternating between Route 205 and Valley
Windworks.

[DLGA] #483 DIALGA
==============================================================================
SINNOH DEX NUMBER: #149
LOCATION: Spear Pillar
TYPE: Steel / Dragon
LEVEL FOUND: 70
HM MOVES REQUIRED: HM03 Surf, HM08 Rock Climb, HM04 Strength
ABILITY: Pressure
CATCH RATE: 30
SIGNATURE MOVE: Roar of Time
BASE STAT TOTAL: 680
BASE STATS: 100 HP / 120 ATK / 120 DEF / 150 SATK / 100 SDEF / 90 SPD

OTHER NOTES:
- Dialga is an UBER, which means it cannot be used in the standard metagame.

MOVES WHEN CAUGHT
-------------------
NAME           TYPE     CATEGORY   POWER    EXTRA EFFECTS
Roar of Time   Dragon   Special    140      Requires a recharge turn after use.
Heal Block     Psychic  Other      ---      Prevents HP Recovery moves.
Earth Power    Ground   Special    90       10% of lowering opponent's SDEF.
Slash          Normal   Physical   70       High critical hit ratio.

Dialga, alongside with Palkia have had their catching methods completely edited
from DP. In Platinum, both appear on Spear Pillar after a number of conditions
are filled. I don't know if all of these are needed but to be safe, fulfil all
of these conditions.

1: Receive the National Dex from Rowan by seeing all 210 Sinnoh Dex Pokemon.
2: Find the Adamant and Lustrous Orb within Mt. Coronet. The orbs are in a cave
to the right after you go up the first Rock Climb path in the snowy part of 
Mt. Coronet. You will need Waterfall to get them.
3: Go to Celestic Town and press A on the Uxie/Mesprit/Azelf drawings in the
Celestic Town Ruins. Cynthia should come and talk to you. Just say yes to
everything she asks until she goes away.
4: Head to the top of Mt. Coronet, for the Spear Pillar.

[I know that you must do 1, 3 and 4 for certain. I don't know about #2 yet. You
may also need the Sinnoh trio (Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf) but I do not know about
this for sure either.]

Once you have done all of these, head for Spear Pillar. Near where Dialga and
Palkia were in D/P should be a blue portal. Save, talk to this blue portal and
say yes to be pulled into a battle with Dialga.

SIGNATURE MOVE: Spacial Rend
BASE STAT TOTAL: 680
BASE STATS: 90 HP / 120 ATK / 100 DEF / 150 SATK / 120 SDEF / 100 SPEED

OTHER NOTES:
- Palkia is an UBER, which means it cannot be used in the standard metagame.

MOVES WHEN CAUGHT
-------------------
NAME           TYPE     CATEGORY   POWER    EXTRA EFFECTS

Slash          Normal   Physical   70       High critical hit ratio.

Palkia is obtained exactly the same way as Dialga, so see Dialga for details.
All you must do is after you catch or kill Dialga, exit Spear Pillar (by going
back into Mt. Coronet) and go back onto Spear Pillar and you should find a
pink/purple portal containing Palkia.

[HTRN] #485 HEATRAN
==============================================================================
LOCATION: Stark Mountain
TYPE: Fire / Steel
LEVEL FOUND: 50
HM MOVES REQUIRED: HM06 Rock Smash, HM04 Strength, [HM08 Rock Climb-Optional]
ABILITY: Flash Fire
CATCH RATE: 3
SIGNATURE MOVE: Magma Storm
BASE STAT TOTAL: 600
BASE STATS: 91 HP / 90 ATK / 106 DEF / 130 SATK / 106 SDEF / 77 SPD

OTHER NOTES:
- One of four legendaries with a Fire-type.

MOVES WHEN CAUGHT
-------------------
NAME           TYPE     CATEGORY   POWER    EXTRA EFFECTS
Metal Sound    Steel    Other      ---      Lowers opponent's SDef by 2 levels.
Crunch         Dark     Physical   80       20% of lowering opponent's defence.
Scary Face     Normal   Other      ---      Lowers opponent's SPD by 2 levels.
Lava Plume     Fire     Special    80       30% of inducing burn on opponent.

Heatran is basically the same as D/P, so I'll just keep the DP guide with a few
minor edits...

Heatran itself doesn't have too bad stats. Unfortunately, its type combination
Fire/Steel lets it down, as combining two Ground-weak types is a VERY BAD idea
as then you're 4x weak to Earthquake, one of, if not the most common move in
the metagame. This means you'll have to play Heatran carefully if you're going
to even hope to use it.

Getting Heatran itself can be a bit on the long side. You must head to Stark
Mountain, and complete the partnership with Buck, who will help you with a 
Level 63 Claydol. However, once he removes the volcanic rock in the mountain,
the volcano's activity will start going crazy. Head to the Survival Area that
is in the Northwest, and talk to Buck who is outside a house. He will go inside
the house - go in, marvel and talk to him again to get him to go put the Magma
Stone back. Heatran will now be there.

Head through the mountain again, this time on your own which means you can use
Rock Climb to get through the place a lot easier. Once you reach the room the
volcanic rock was in, you'll find one lovely Heatran waiting for you in the
circle of stones that surrounded the rock.

Walk up, save and engage battle. Just catch it like any other legend. The lower
level in Platinum might make it a bit easier... perhaps.

LOCATION: Snowpoint Temple
TYPE: Normal

BASE STAT TOTAL: 670

BASE STATS: 110 HP / 160 ATK / 110 DEF / 80 SATK / 110 SDEF / 100 SPD

OTHER NOTES:
- One of two legendaries with a Normal-type.
- Needs assistance from Ruby, Sapphire or Emerald OR an event to get.

MOVES WHEN CAUGHT
-------------------
NAME           TYPE     CATEGORY   POWER    EXTRA EFFECTS
Dizzy Punch    Normal   Physical   70       20% of confusing opponent.
Knock Off      Dark     Physical   20       Knocks off an opponent's item. 
Confuse Ray    Ghost    Other      ---      Confuses the opponent.
Foresight      Normal Other      ---      Negates evasion changes.

Regigigas is the King of the Regi trio, and to awaken it you need to have its
subjects - Regirock, Regice and Registeel - in your party when you talk to it.
Otherwise, it will not respond. 

You can get the three Regi from Pal Park; I believe all three are found in the
cliff/mountainous area, though I'm not completely sure about Regice. Anyway,
once you have all three, Fly to Snowpoint City and head north to the Snowpoint
Temple. If you have the National Dex, Candice will allow you into the temple
because of a "word from Cynthia". Walk in, and get ready to solve a couple
ice puzzles.

Alternatively, you can transfer a movie Regigigas and go catch Regirock, Regice
and Registeel in Sinnoh, then use these Regi to get Regigigas. Movie Regigigas
can be rather hard to come by, however.

Snowpoint Temple has Wild Pokemon of about Level 50. Same Wild Pokemon as DP 
pretty much but with the addition of Smoochum and I think Jynx is there too.
Otherwise, the layout is identical to DP. Just work your way to the bottom
floor...

This floor is simply a huge ice puzzle and one large legendary in the center.
Use rocks to your advantage, and you should hopefully reach the center, where
Regigigas and a part of the normal temple await. By normal temple, I mean Wild
Pokemon can still appear by there. That really spoiled the moment for me once,
as I was walking up to Regigigas and a Sneasel decided to call. Yaaaaay.

Press A, engage in battle, blah blah blah. At Level 1, it is very hard... oh
my. Level 1. Something really went wrong here. Slow Start makes Regigigas not
so good, halving both Attack and Speed. Oh well.

Regigigas has two moves that can confuse you now, but really if you want to
weaken it then one False Swipe should do the job. Being Level 1 means you have
very little in stats, no matter what Pokemon you are.

**Note: Regigigas was also distributed as a promotional event of the movie
"Giratina & the Bouquet of the Sky". These Regigigas came at Level 100 in a
Cherish Ball and had the special moves Icy Wind and Rock Slide. However, it
came with no EVs. Due to it coming at Level 100, it cannot get any EVs. Should
you encounter a Regigigas with Icy Wind or Rock Slide that has Effort Values
in any stat that total over 100, it has been hacked. This Regigigas is required
to get Regirock, Registeel and Regice in Platinum.

In a surprise twist, the legendary birds of Kanto are available in Platinum.
Once you get the National Dex, go to Pal Park and talk to Professor Oak to get
him to leave. Then, head to Eterna and go into the house in the bottom left of
the city. Oak should be in there - talk to him. After that, the birds should
appear on your Pokeradar map. Just zone in and capture them like Mesprit &
Cresselia. Master Balls recommended, of course.
