Pichu, Pikachu, or Raichu With Volt Tackle

Go to the trophy garden in the Pokemon mansion and catch two pikachus; make sure one of them has a light ball when you catch them. Then go to Solaceon town and give the pikachus to the day care lady. Talk to the man outside the day care center and he will give you an egg. When the egg cracks open a pichu with volt tackle comes out. Note: If you want a female pichu give the light ball to the male and if you want a male give it to the female.

National Pokedex

First, you must complete the Sinnoh Pokedex (spot each of the 210 regional Pokemon). After that, talk to Professor Rowan in his lab and he'll give you the National Pokedex.

Quick-Farming Pokemon

Go to the mansion and save your game. Talk to Mr. Backlot and he'll tell you what type of Pokemon is in the garden that day. Go capture it -OR- if it is not what you were looking for, turn the power off, restart the game and talk to him again. Repeat until you find what you are looking for. You won't have to wait a whole day until you capture one!

Catch of the Day

After beating the Elite Four and Stark Mt., go to the mansion south of Hearthrome. The owner of the mansion, in the office, will refer to Pokemon in his garden. After a scuffle with the butler, you can go into the garden and catch the Pokemon he referred to. Use a Quick Ball for an easy catch. You can do this every day for a new Pokemon!

Finding Shiny Pokemon

If you put both an international Pokemon and one of your own in the daycare, your chances of finding a shiny are lowered from 1/8932 to 1/2000. This may sound high but you'll definitely notice a difference.

Secret Area

Just outside the Wayward Cave, look under the bridge to find a secret entrance. The areas is full of Pokemon and contains three pokeballs.

Capturing Legendary Pokemon without Master Balls or AR

Remember to save before battle. Use a Pokemon that knows Paralysis. Use a Quick Ball, then keep spamming Paralysis until the Legendary pokemon is affected. After this, use weak attacks until its life is reduced. Use Great Balls to capture the weakened pokemon.

Catching Roaming Legendaries

Use a Repel (or Super or Max Repel) in the marked location of a roaming Legendary Pokemon to clear out extraneous Pokemon. This makes finding the Legendary Pokemon much easier since it will be the only one that will attack.

Unlimited Rival Battles

After defeating the Elite Four, head to the Fight Area. Go to the Survival Area and speak to Buck. Complete the Stark Mt. mission and make your way back to the Survival Area. There is a house that was locked that once said "Exclusive Members Only;" your rival is there. Go there on weekends and your rival will challenge you to a battle. The more you challenge the Elite Four, the stronger he will become.

Adding Manaphe to Your Pokedex

In the Pokemon Mansion, go to Mister Backlot's room and look at the book on the table. You'll see a picture of Manaphy. After looking at it, it will be added as "Seen" in your Pokedex.

Catching Regigas

Before attempting to catch Regigas, you must first obtain Regirock, Regice and Registeel (from previous Pokemon titles -- Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby, Leafgreen, or Firered).

If you have those, head to Snowpoint City and walk directly north from the gym. At the temple there will be a woman blocking the entrance. Candice will tell the lady that it's ok for you to go in provided you have the three Regi- Pokemon. Enter the temple and go to the bottom floor to find Regigas.

Trainer Card Stars

You can win stars for your Trainer Card by completing the following tasks:

• • Beat the Elite Four

  • Collect all of the Battle Frontier Colored Plates

  • Capture 50 flags in the Underground

  • Win a Master Rank Super Contest

  • Capture all 493 Pokemon (excluding event-only Pokemon)

Each star will change the color of your Trainer Card as follows:

• • Blue - Earn One Star

  • Bronze - Earn Two Stars

  • Gold - Earn Four Stars

  • Silver - Earn Three Stars

  • Black - Earn Five Stars

Dialga and Palkia

To catch the legendary Pokemon dialga and palkia, you must first beat the Elite Four and acquire the National Pokedex. Head to Mt. Coronet and scale it to the top where Team Galactic was. One of the two legendary Pokemon will be there. Catch it or beat it then leave and return and the other should be there.

Before taking them on, you'll need specific orbs. To get these, make your way to Mt. Coronet through Hearthome City as if going to Sky Pillar. After progressing through about 3 caves, a new entrance will be available and inside are the orbs required to battle Palkia and Dialga.

Griseous Orb

After you beat you game, go back to sendoff spring. Cynthia will have left so you can enter the cave she was blocking. Enter Turnback cave just like in Diamond / Pearl. At the end you find an item and the entrance to the Distortion world. Go through it to find the Griseous orb. It's like the Adamant orb for Giratina. If you give it to Giratina, it can stay in its origin form outside the Distortion World. If you didn't catch Giratina in the Distortion World, you can catch it in Turnback cave.

Daily Battles

There is a new person to battle every day in the Pokemon Center in Hearthome City. These challengers are located next to the counter; take them on for easy Exp.

Every Pokemon Center you come across in your journey will feature a similar character to battle.

Musical Badges

As you collect badges, they are placed on display inside the case when you go to your Trainer Card. If you tap your badges on the touch screen, they will make a specific musical tone.

Snow Day

Enter Snow Point City on January 12 to see snow fall. This is the birthday of Game Freak Director Junichi Masuda.

Mow the Lawn

You can use Pokemon with the Cut ability to cut the tall grass you encounter in your quest. Just use the ability when you are near a patch of tall grass.

Birthday Message

To see a special birthday message, play the game on the birthday you entered (you can fiddle with your DS clock settings to switch the date if you are impatient) after beating the Elite Four. When you talk to Dawn or Lucas, they will make a reference to your birthday.
