Unlockable - Gameplay Changes In the world of Pokemon Platinum you can now obtain several new pokemon you couldn't before. In D/P these pokemon were obtained after the player received the National Dex from Rowan. However in Platinum, these post National Dex pokemon can be obtained before the Elite Four! Unlockable: How to unlock: Eevee Talk to Bebe at Hearthome Togepi Cynthia will give you an egg after you clear the Galactic Bulding in Eterna City(the man at Hearthome no longer gives you a Happiny egg) Rotom Go to the TV Screen as you would in D/P(at night ONLY) Send     Print

Secret - Legendary Pokemon Giratina Uxie Azelf Mespirit Dialga Palkia Heatran Regigigas Cresselia Regice Re gisteel Regirock Articuno Moltres Zapdos Darkai Shaymin Arceus Again, some require cheating. But The legendary birds do not. They're actually found in the game. They roam around in the grass like Mespirit and Cresselia. Take full advantage of your tracking map to hunt them down.

Secret - Eterna Gym-Gardenia Unlike D/P, Platinum totally revamped this gym. It looks cooler but there really is no puzzle here. Just beat the trainers to rotate the clock-hands. You'll eventually end up at where Gardenia is. Here are her pokemon. Lv20 Turtwig: Grass Grass Knot, Razor Leaf, Sunny Day, Reflect Lv20 Cherrim: Grass Grass Knot, Leech Seed, Magical Leaf, Safeguard Lv22 Roserade: Grass/Poison Grass Knot, Magical Leaf, Poison Sting, Stun Spore Chimchar or Monferno can sweep this gym. Flying types also do well here. You can use Prinplup and Pluck/Peck, but it isn't recommended. Grotle or Turtwig can resist the attacks, but won't do much in return. Ponyta can also be a good addition if you don't have other fire types. Send     Print

Secret - Hearthome Gym-Fantina Like woah! Fantina is no longer the 5th gym like in D/P. She can be directly battled for another badge right after Gym#2. So this makes her the third gym now. She has few weaker pokemon, obviously because of the gym # drop. They also got rid of that stupid math puzzle. They added a cool new match puzzle. Here are Fantina's pokemon. Lv24 Duskull: Ghost Will-o-Wisp, Pursuit, Shadow Sneak, Future Sight Lv24 Haunter: Ghost/Poison Shadow Claw, Sucker Punch, Hypnosis, Confuse Ray Lv26 Mismagius: Ghost Shadow Ball, Psybeam, Magical Leaf, Confuse Ray You might have the third evolution of you starter by now, or maybe not. Try to get a pokemon that knows a Dark move. Luxio should already know Bite. So that's good training for this electric type. Send     Print

Secret - Veilstone Gym-Maylene Instead of pushing around walls like in D/P, Platinum added a newer puzzle involving punching bags. You need the punch the bags to knock over the tires. When you knock over the one blocking the path to the top, you can battle Maylene. Lv28 Meditite: Psychic/Fighting Drain Punch, Confusion, Rock Tomb, Fake Out Lv29 Machoke: Fighting Karate Chop, Rock Tomb, Strength, Focus Energy Lv32 Lucario: Steel/Fighting Drain Punch, Force Palm, Metal Claw, Bone Rush Lucario is a formidable type. You should have your third starter evolution by now or be close to it. Infernape tears through Lucario and is equal to other fighting types. Beware of Bone Rush though, its super effective. Empoleon can utilize Peck, preferably Pluck to deal some double damage. Watch out for its added Steel type. Torterra can crush Lucario's steel type with Earthquake and can take hits from the fighting type pokemon. Any starter is good here. Send     Print

Secret - Pastoria City-Crasher Wake This gym remained the same from D/P. BORING! Just go through the motions again to get to Wake. He has a cool animation though, but it doesn't make up for the same boring gym. He has some stronger pokemon too. Lv33 Gyarados: Water/Flying Brine, Waterfall, Bite, Twister Lv34 Quagsire: Water/Ground Mud Bomb, Rock Tomb, Water Pulse, Yawn Lv37 Floatzel: Water Brine, Ice Fang, Crunch, Ice Fang The real threat here is Floatzel. With its quick speed and high attack, it can deal some damage. Torterra with be crushed with Ice Fang and Empoleon can only deal damage with its non water/steel moves, Infernape may be a good choice, but fails if it doesn't land 1hko moves. Stick with Luxray or another grass type if you have them. Send     Print

Secret - Canalave City-Byron This gym has also remained the same from D/P. Byron also has a pretty lame animation. The only upside is that the gym has better steel types. So you won't run into all the Steelix and Bronzor like in D/P. Also the random trainer with the Azumarill in D/P has changed. Lv37 Magneton: Electric/Steel Flash Cannon, Tri-Attack, Thunderbolt, Metal Sound Lv38 Steelix: Steel/Ground Flash Cannon, Ice Fang, Earthquake, Sandstorm Lv41 Bastiodon: Rock/Steel Metal Burst, Stone Edge, Iron Defense, Taunt Pretty much all the starters do well here. Infernape with fire and fighting moves. Empoleon boasts its water type attacks and Torterra with Earthquake. Watch out for Bastiodon's Metal Burst. It's just like Counter and Mirror Coat combined. So any attack can backfire if you don't 1hko this pokemon. Send     Print

Secret - Snowpoint Gym-Candice Another same old gym. LAME LAME LAME! Her animation is decent, but not great. At least she has new cooler additions. Hey cool, ice, lol. Yeah bad pun. Lv40 Sneasel: Dark/Ice Slash, Aerial Ace, Faint Attack, Ice Shard Lv40 Piloswine: Ice/Ground Avalanche, Stone Edge, Earthquake, Hail Lv42 Abomasnow: Ice/Grass Avalanche, Wood Hammer, Water Pulse, Focus Blast Lv44 Frosslass: Ice/Ghost Blizzard, Double Team, Shadow Ball, Psychic Empoelon will do only decent here, so let's just take that pokemon out of the equation. Infernape completely crushes this gym. Don't think about using Torterra, you'll have a very hard time without of some rock type moves. Even if you do, Torterra's slow speed will still make it fall. Froslass is a cool addition, so watch out for that. Blizzard gains a 100% accuracy in hail. Send     Print

Secret - Battle Frontier Here is a quick description of the new Battle Frontier area. Check my later guides for more in-depth info. This new area is similar to Emerald's Battle Frontier. You will receive battle points to exchange for prizes. There is also an added move tutor area. You can teach some of your pokemon cool moves if you have the BP for it. If you haven't figured this out already, the new Battle Frontier replaced the old Battle Park. The Battle Tower is still standing and the Battle Factory is still continued from Emerald. There are 5 venues where you can test your skills as a trainer. You can use your pokemon in these different areas. Battle Tower, Battle Factory, Battle Roulette, Battle Caste, and Battle Stage. Each area is unique and like in Emerald, each area has a Frontier Brain. Send     Print

Secret - Pokemon fun facts (About not just this Pokemon game!) *In generation 1, there were only 3 dragon types all in the same family and the same went for ghost-types. Coincedentally, they are the only 2 types that are super effective against themselves. *Generation 3 is the only generation so far with pure steel-types (Not counting Arceus with the steel plate because it's not usually a steel-type). *Even though dragons breathe fire, there is yet to be a combination of fire and dragon Pokemon. *There is yet to be a pure Flying-type (Aside from Arceus because it's not normally a flying-type). *Flying types have been a combination with every other type except for fighting. *Bibarel is the only non-pure Normal-type that's still weak against fighting-types. *There are more water-types than any other Pokemon. *Each pachyderm Pokemon is a ground-type except for Drowzee and Hypno. *If a Ditto was fighting another Ditto and they couldn't switch out and are still in Ditto form, the battle would never end because they'd keep transforming into each other. *In one of the Pokemon Episodes (Specifically Haunter vs. Kadabra), Ash said ghost-types are strong against Psychic Pokemon, however, this wasn't true until generation 2 and at the time Ash said taht ghost-types are strong against Psychic types, they had no effect on psychic-types. *Even though Magnemite and Magneton are steel-types, they couldn't learn any steel attacks until generation 4. *Agatha is supposed to be a ghost-type Pokemon elite 4, even though she mostly uses poison-types. *Some episode guides said that Princess versus Princess was the first Orange Island episode, even though Ash wasn't on the Orange Islands at that time. *In the anime, Snubbull, Marril, Ho-Oh, Togepi, Donphan, Ledyba, Bellossom, Elekid, Hoothoot, Slowking and Lugia are all Johto Pokemon that appeared before the Johto season (Post any of the Johto Pokemon I missed that appeared in the anime before the Johto journeys). *There are no Pokemon songs in SSBB that played the exact same way they did in the Pokemon games they were first heard. *Each Pokemon that ends in the letters 'don' is a ground-type except for Shieldon and Bastiodon. *If there were a GBA version of Pokemon Yellow (Like the one in Firered&Leafgreen) the player would be able to get Raichu unlike Yellow players because they'd be able to go to Four Island and leave Pikachu at the day care with a Ditto and it would have an egg containing PIchu that they'd be able to evolve into a Pikachu and then into a Raichu. *There is yet to be a dark-type Pokemon gym.
