Unlockables

Pal Park will be on route 221 when you get the National Dex

To get Manfi you must download it from Pokemon Ranger.

Luckily, in this game, all you have to do to complete the Shinou Dex is SEE all the Pokemon in the Dex, as opposed to catching them like in previous games. And once you see all the Pokemon, you unlock the National Dex. There are 151 Pokemon in the Shinou Dex, but not all the new Pokemon are included in it.

Insert the following games to and then go to the location to find the pokemon.

When you have Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen version in your GBA slot, it will unlock two Pokemon that cannot be found elsewhere.

Complete the indicated task to earn stars and change the color of your trainer card.

To get Lucario, go to Mt. Iron and search for a guy named Riley. After you teamed up with him, go search for two Team Galactic Grunts. (afcourse you have to fight with them.) After you beat them, you get an egg from Riley. Hatch it to get a Riolu, then evolve it to a Lucario. (It will only evolve at daylight)

To get the three starter pokémon masks, first talk to the old lady on the first floor of the Veilstone Department Store. She will give you the Turtwig Mask. Then go to Pastoria City. Talk to a girl with blond hair. She will give you the Piplup mask. Finally go to Jubilife City. Go to the Jubilife TV building. Then go to the second floor. Talk to a man with sunglasses. He will give you the Chimchar mask. I hope you like it!

After receiving eevee, think about what evolved form your eevee deserves. There are 7 choices: flareon, jolteon, vaporeon, espeon, umbreon, glaceon or leafeon. Use a fire stone to evolve eevee to flareon, thunder stone for jolteon, water stone for vaporeon, trade at day espeon, trade at night umbreon, train near the icy rock glaceon and train near the mossy rock leafeon.

You cannot catch nor have 'em all. Trading and the pal park are ways to catch and have 'em all.

You must first have regirock, regice and registeel in your party and can be traded from sapphire, ruby or emerald using from pal park. Once the 3 are in your party, go to snowpoint temple. Only those with the national pokedex can be allowed to enter. Inside the snowpoint temple, search for regigigas. It will not appear randomly. Once found, battle and catch it. Remember the 3 regis must be in your party or you cannot battle nor catch it.

Hints, Tips & Tricks

The starters are Naetle, Hikozaru, and Pochama in the Japanese version of the game. Naetle is Grass tpe with the ability Overgrow. Hikozaru is a fire chimp with Blaze. Pochama resembles a penguin with Torrent, just like the Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald starters.

You cannot catch all Pokemon in this game. You must trade them from your Game Boy Advance Pokemon games. In this game, you can get all the fourth generation Pokemon, but only about fifty original Hoenn / Kanto / Johto Pokemon.

While still in Solaceon town, get on the far right side of the path next to the Pokemon Center. Simply ride your bike in the fastest gear up and down until you hit a tree or mountain and repeat. You must have done at least 400 steps each "lap" and get a egg or get one to hatch more quickly than riding elsewhere.

To get free Master Balls, go to Floroma City. Go to the house next to the Pokecenter. Save the game before you talk to a man on a laptop. Talk to him and bring him the Pokemon before 1 a.m. If you bring him the Pokemon he will give you any Pokeball. If you did not get a Master Ball, turn off the game and try again.

At the Jubilife television station, talk to anyone you see. If you find the person enter "EVERYBODY HAPPY". Then for the WiFi people enter "WI-FI CONNECTION". Those will get you Pokemon such as Arceus, Shaymin, and Darakai. Note: You must have a WiFi or DS wireless link cable.

Spend your money on any desired item. Go to the Pokemon League and keep fighting the Elite Four until you lose. You will have gained, then lost a small amount of money but your Pokemon might have leveled up. If not, level up. You can buy a lot of Revives and Potions to use to get to the last of the Elite Four and they might just be level up.

Open your Trainer card menu. Open your badge case and rub the stylus over the badges that you have won from the gym leaders. They will become shiny after a good polishing. Also, each badge makes a different noise, allowing you to play them like an instrument.

Use the calculator on the Poketech. If you get an answer to a problem it will make a sound oise corresponding to the number/Pokemon in the Pokedex, but only if you have seen that Pokemon.

Because the in-game clock is in sync with your Nintendo DS and since certain events only happen every once in a while, there is a simple but not-so-obvious solution -- just adjust your DS clock. For example, the guard in the Pokemon Mansion is guarding the Bronze Statue around the clock, but he takes a break between 2 and 5 a.m. Just adjust your clock to that time and he will be gone. You can also do this to speed up berry production by jumping a few days back and forth.

If you do a bit of exploring and talking to people, you will eventually encounter someone who says that Chatot can learn human words. Once you obtain one (after trading with a girl in an early town) and get it to about level 20, it will learn the move Chatter. As they said, it can indeed learn human words. Once it learns Chatter, go to your Pokemon menu and select "Chatot". It will show Chatter along with summary, switch, and etc. From here, press A and record what you want to say in the DS mic. Not only will Chatot say what you said whenever you use the move Chatter, but it will become its cry. Note: This is not permanent, so you can change its Chatter as often as desired. Also, the speech will be slightly distorted so it will not sound exactly as you said it. The recorded sound lasts for only one day, so you will have to re-record it.

In Amity Square Park in Hearthhome City, walk 200 steps, then talk to your Pokemon. It should be holding an item. Also, if you try to go in without a cute Pokemon, the man at the entrance will tell you which Pokemon are allowed.

Catch a Pokemon that knows the move Trick, then go to a Pokemon such as Bidoof or Starly. The Pokemon that knows the move Trick must have an item. Then, use the move Trick on the Pokemon and you will rarely get an item.

If someone is in your Secret Base and you are about to go back up to the surface, tell them first. If you go back up to the surface when someone else is in your Secret Base, it takes them back to the menu of the game, and they will lose all of the progress they made.

Because the in-game clock is in sync with your Nintendo DS and since certain events only happen every once in a while, there is a simple but not-so-obvious solution -- just adjust your DS clock. For example, the guard in the Pokemon Mansion is guarding the Bronze Statue around the clock, but he takes a break between 2 and 5 a.m. Just adjust your clock to that time and he will be gone. You can also do this to speed up berry production by jumping a few days back and forth.

When you transfer Pokemon from Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, Fire Red, Leaf Green,or Emerald, they can never go back to their original game. Do not transfer every Pokemon in the boxes you see. Make sure you leave at least some Pokemon with high levels and medium levels so you can still catch the strong Pokemon such as like legendaries.

Here are some couple of Pokémon types you can use at the Gym Leaders of Sinnoh:

Roark: Fighting, Water, Grass, Ground. (there is a Machop at route 204)
Gardenia: Fire, Flying, Ice.
Maylene: Psychic, Flying. (I recommend a Noctowl, wich I used)
Wake: Electric, Grass, Dragon (because he has a Gyarados)
Fantina: Anyone will work, only thing you need to do is train a lot
Byron: Grass, Water, Fighting, Fire.
Candice: Fire, Dragon, Ground.
Volkner: No hints for that one.

If you aren't very succesfull at evolving pokémon that need love (Budew, Buneary, Happiny and more.) or if you're too lazy, try this. Catch the pokémon in a luxury ball, than give it a soothe bell. then train it till it evolves.

Pal Park will be on route 221 when you get the National Dex.

Just keep on raising your pokemon to a certain level.

To get weak pokemon up quickly you have 4 options.leave them in the day care and pay 100 + 100 per every level grow or put an exp share on the weak pokemon and put a strong pokemon at the front of your party and battle high level pokemon or put the weak pokemon at the front of the party and switch him out for a stronger pokemon next turn or trade pokemon with a friend and you both say to level those up to a certain level (traded pokemon get boosted exp per battle).

On emerald or ranger catch all three regis and trade them to pearl regigigas will appear on sinnoh.

Go to the Old Chateau between the hours of 10pm and 4am. Walk into any room with a television and look at the screens *(click "a" so your person "looks" at the screen)*. There is a possibility that a strange pokemon jumps out at you. This pokemon looks like a little electric castform.

Rhydon can learn surf seriously a rock/ground can learn surf makes battling easier.

Got to route 202 and possibly you will find a growlithe.

If you are wondering how to get a drifloon and have been looking everywhere, well here is the arwser to your problems, all you have to do is on a friday (and it has to be friday or else it is not there)go to the vally windworks and he will be there. He will be staying like legendry pokemon are! and that my friends is the way to get a drifloon!

Go to varity lakefront after you have court azelf, uxie and mespirt and use super rod, it could takle a few times but it is by far the quickest way, it only took me 20 mins to get him, just make sure it's a super rod or it doesn't work!

The best pokemon to start with is Empoleon in the end it's the best.

While moving pokemon in the box push "Y" to change the color of the hand from yellow to white.

To beat the elite four easily, have your pokemon leveled up to level 60 and up. The best pokemon to use are the following: your starter like Empoleon, Torterra but i used infernape, Palkia in pearl and dialga in diamond by trading with diamond users, any flying type like crobat or gyarados, but i used staraptor, and 3 psychic types so i used uxie, azelf and mespirit. Good luck in your elite four battle and dont forget to heal up with potions!

To collect all starters in its evolved forms, there are many ways to do this. One way is by trading the original starter with a friend. Another is by cloning then trading. This is kinda hard. But it takes patience to complete this task without trading the original ones. After receiving the national pokedex, catch a ditto at route 218 in the grass patch near canalave city using a pokeradar. After catching the ditto, go to solaceon to the day care and give the lady the ditto and the starter. Get out and walk for a while. Later talk to the old man and he will give you an egg. Hatch the egg and level up your starter until it evolves into its final form. Once done, you have 2 starters. All you have to do is to trade starters with a friend. Good luck!

The truth is in pearl, the area of scizor nor scyther is unknown. It can only be found in diamond. Trade with a diamond user who has a scyther and it shall evolve into scizor. If the both of you want scizor, cloning might have helped by using a ditto but takes a long time and patience. Hope I helped.

Unfortunately, its area is unknown so i suggest you to catch drifloon. During friday, go to valley windworks and youll find drifloon standing there. Go and catch it at once. Remember only fridays. If the date on your ds is not friday, adjust it. After catching drifloon, level it up until level 28 then it becomes a drifblim. Daycaring it up to level 28 is not going to work. Or daycare it up into level 27 and then do some training until it levels up and evolves. If you want another drifblim, do the same process. Another way for those with national pokedex is that for you to clone by catching a ditto at the grass patches near canalave. Then daycare driblim and ditto and it will breed the drifloon egg. Get the egg then hatch it. Its drifloon then level up to level 28 for another drifblim.

You can use shiny stones to evolve roselia to roserade and togetic to togekiss.

Fly to solaceon then save. Enter the house near the pokemon center then talk to the guy sitting there near the book. He will be asking for a random pokemon. Bring him the pokemon at once. Once you have the pokemon in the party, do not enter the house yet. Save it first then talk to the guy who is asking for the pokemon. He will give you any free pokeball. If not a masterball, turn off the ds and try again.

An easy catch run-away pokemon like cresselia and mespirit is by using a marking map in your poketch. Spot 'em then chase 'em. Stock up with many potions and ultra balls. Timer balls may help. Make sure your party includes a golbat or any pokemon with mean look. That should be quicker than the run-away pokemon and put it in front of your party. At the the second slot, have a flying type that knows fly. Chase the pokemon at once and will appear at random and remember to use the marking map to help you spot 'em. Once appeared, use mean look at it at once. Your pokemon must be quicker. Reduce its hp until red. Avoid fainting of your pokemon. Use potions to help. If your pokemon faints, have another one that knows mean look and must be quicker. If none, fled the battle and bring your pokemon at the pokemon center and let it be healed. Once done, do the same process until you captured the run-away pokemon.

After receiving the national pokedex, go to sendoff spring then head to turnback cave and find giratina. Its easy to capture by battling it using staraptor. Only Slash attack works against it. So use ultra balls or timer balls.

The best way to get a really powerful gliscor is to: 1 breed gligar and hatch the egg. 2 make it hold a razor fang. 3 at night time make the gligar level 2 and it will evolve. Follow these steps and you will end up with a pokemon that will rip the shit out of everyone elses pokemon.

Breed a growlithe and hatch the egg you will have a level 1 growlithe use a firestone on growlithe and it will evolve into a level 1 arcanine. When you evolve growlithe at level 1 into arcanine, arcanine learns thunder fang, fire fang, and bite. Now thats a pretty good combination.

p.s. fire pokemon rule they are virtually indestructable

Secrets

Put your pokemon in the daycare in Solaceon Town. Go outside onto the dirt road. Go all the way to the right on the dirt road and get on your bike. Go straight up until you hit a dead end. Then go straight down until you hit a dead end. If you have the poketch app daycare checker, now is the time to use it. After you go up and down a few times click on the screen with the poketch app daycare checker. If you have higher level pokemon, you will have to run longer.

Trust me it works! I grew my pokemon from level 40-45 in less than an hour by using this.

Catch a male and female Marril. Breed them with one holding a Sea Incense. They should make an egg sooner or later... Hatch it and it should be a Nosepass (I have no idea what they were thinking....

Around 2-5 am, the guard goes on break and you can go to the statue and get fingerprints on it, since the game time is in sync with the ds time, just change the time in the ds to make it morning.

If you give your Pokémon his Chinese name, he will make a different sound then he used to do.

When you get the Azure Flute to get arceus (get the mystery gift for the flute) the flute will look like the ocarina of time from "legend of zelda and the ocarina of time".

If you have high level pokemon on any gba games...... get them all together migrate them to pokemon pearl catch them and chalenge battle tower using the high lvl pokemon best off using the starter pokemon to gain an advantage.

If you have collected all unowns, go to ruin maniacs tunnel. Go straight in the tunnel and you'll end up in the opening near solaceons tunnel.

In polishing badges, select your trainer card and press the button at the bottom of the gym leaders. Rub the badges each using your stylus until it becomes shiny. If you would notice, touch each badge at once in order starting from the oreburgh's badge to the sunyshore's badge. It would play do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti and do.

In the old chateou in the eterna forest go into the house and go up the stairs to ur left and enter the room in the middle of the hallway while ur still on the top floor. As soon as u enter the new floor, go to the room next to the rooom in front of u to ur right. There u will see a purple picture. if u go near it, there will kust be a purple canvas, but if u go away from it, there will be two red dots like eyes staring at u from the picture...

Glitches

When u walk in the grass below veilstone were there is long grass were a collector guy is if u walk to the end of the grass by the rocky wall thing there is grass but u r not walking in it. Also when u run to the left or right or in the middle the collector guy will look were u r runnning. its really messed up.

For example: in Jublife City and Calacave City, you got to enter this hall-like room where you can get the good rod. If you have an action replay, put the run or walk anywhere code. Walk/run though the trees next to the the room, turn around, and repeat the same thing. There you have Jublife City... Glich style!!! Oh, if you do this with a bike, after you get off of your bike, you'll turn into a glich box!!!
