The Underground
———————–

The undergound runs underneath most of the map of Sinnoh. You can get to the
underground from anywhere once you have the Explorer Kit. The tasks the old man
gives you are easy and pretty self-explanatory so I will not go into much
detail about them. The main reason you want to go underground is to collect
the items in the walls. When you get underground, touch the touch screen to
make yellow items appear on your map. Go to the yellow items and touch the
touch screen again. You should be able to see glittering spots in the walls.
Walk up to the spot and press A to dig into it.

FOSSIL……………………POKEMON
Armor…………………….Shieldon(P)
Claw……………………..Anorith
Dome……………………..Kabuto
Helix…………………….Omanyte
Root……………………..Lileep
Skull…………………….Cranidos(D)
Old Amber…………………Aerodactyl

These fossils can be transformed into their respective pokemon at the Mining
Museum in Oreburgh City. The scientist at the counter will do it for you. Most
fossils are rare and take a lot of searching to find. Do not give up! If you
get a fossil, save before you give it to the scientist and keep restarting to
get a female. Breed it and put the fossil spawn on GTS for another fossil.
There is also a ton of items you can get this way like heart scale, plates,
evolution stones and many many more.

Hard To Find Sinnoh Pokes
—————————-

This section is for the harder to find pokemon you want to catch. It does not
include the National Dex pokemon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
DRIFLIM
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Go to the Valley Windworks on Fridays to see this pokemon waiting for you
outside. Press A on it to battle it and this event occurs once every Friday. If
you want this pokemon now and it is not Friday, change the day of your DS clock
to Friday and it will be there waiting when you load up your game.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
GIBLE
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gible is found in the Wayward Cave. There is a secret entrance under the bridge
of Cycling Road and you can enter it by pressing Up while standing under the
bridge. If you press up and dont enter, take a step over and try again. The
entrance is more towards the left side of the bridge. You will have to use
Strength here. You will encounter Gible while walking around the cave and it
turns into Garchomp. It is a dragon/ground type pokemon. The Wayward cave leads
to the Earthquake TM.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
VESPIQUEN
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Catch a female combee from a honey tree and raise it. Males will not evolve
into this pokemon. Female Combee will evolve into Vespiqueen at level 21.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
SPIRITOMB
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spiritomb is a Ghost/Dark pokemon so it has no weakness. It’s stats aren’t
stellar so it wont last that long anyway. It is pretty much the D/P version of
Sableye. In order to catch Spiritomb, you have to take the Odd Keystone to the
rock formation south of the Lost Tower. Put the Odd Keystone in it to make it
be the Hollowed Tower. Now, you have to talk to 32 people in the Sinnoh
Underground. The catch is, Hikers do not count. You have to be by someone who
has a DS and you can connect to in the underground. The good thing is, you can
talk to the same person 32 times. So, you enter the underground, talk to your
friend, go up go back down and talk to him again. Once you have done this 32
times, this pokemon will be waiting for you inside the Hollowed Tower.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
WEAVILE
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Attach the Razor Claw to Sneasel and gain a level at night. It will evolve into
Weavile. Sneasel is available outside Snowpoint City. Weavile has a high attack
and speed but cannot take a hit. It is like Alakazam but physical.

———————–
A.0.6 – Nat’l Dex Pokes
———————–

This section is for the pokemon you may have seen but didn’t catch and now you
want to obtain them. Also, it is for pokemon that you can only get after you
get the National Pokedex. Any of the more obscure or harder to find pokemon
will show up in this section of the guide.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
EEVEE
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fly to Hearthome City and enter the house right next to the pokemon center.
Talk to the girl in the house and she will ask you if you want this pokemon.
Eevee is a very special type of pokemon and you are going to need several if
you want to completely fill your pokedex. You may want to save and keep
restarting to try and get a female if you don’t have a ditto. Eevee can evolve
into seven different pokemon.

Vaporeon – Water stone – WATER
Jolteon – Thunder stone – ELECTRIC
Flareon – Fire stone – FIRE
Umbreon – Happiness during the night time hours – DARK
Espeon – Happiness during the day time hours – PSYCHIC
Leafeon – Gain a level near Moss Rock – GRASS
Glaceon – Gain a level near Ice Rock – ICE

Moss Rock is found in Eterna Forest. Ice Rock is on Route 217 on the right
side. You have to evolve Eevee early so that the new form will learn its moves.
If you are trying to get a certain move from Eevee or if you miss a move you
want, do not forget about the move relearner. He can help recover missed moves
on the new form.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
DUSKNOIR

Dusknoir is a new evolution for the Duskull pokemon. First, you need to evolve
your Duskull into a Dusclops. Duskull is rare and can only be found using the
Pokeradar on Route 224. It is a ghost pokemon with a high defense and special
defense. Evolve Duskull by raising it to level 37. You need an item called the
Reaper Cloth to evolve Duskull into it’s final form, Dusknoir. You can find the
reaper cloth on Route 229 and you need cut to get it. Attach it to a Dusclops
and trade the Dusclops to make it evolve.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
DITTO
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ditto is a very special pokemon because it only knows one move, transform. It
will turn itself into the pokemon it is fighting. It is not recommended for
battle but it is definitely a must have pokemon because it will breed with just
about ANY pokemon. You need ditto to breed genderless pokemon like Beldum,
Manaphy and Rotom. Breed Ditto with Manaphy to get a special pokemon that isn’t
obtainable any other way, Phione. Phione looks like Manaphy but does not have
the stats that Manaphy does. Ditto is a rare pokeradar pokemon that can be
found east of Canalave City on Route 218.

You need Fire Red inserted into the GBA slot of the DS to obtain this pokemon.
With Fire Red inserted, head to the Valley Windworks grass and run around for
wild encounters. Elekids are available in the grass and they are not too hard
to find. However, some Elekids have an item, the Electrizer, attached and they
are the hard ones to find. You need that item to transform Electabuzz into an

water until you reach the landmass island with a lot of grass on it. Use your
pokeradar here to find Togepi in the grass. Raise Togepi’s happiness to get it
to evolve into Togetic. Now you can use the shiny stone on Togetic to make it
evolve into Togekiss. Togekiss does not learn any moves when you evolve it so
do not evolve it until you are ready. You can go to the move relearner and get
some new moves for your Togekiss like Extremespeed and Sky Attack.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can catch Rhydon on Route 227 and Route 228. Rhydon is the evolved form of
