The Red Chain is first mentioned by [[Cogita]], who says it could be used to stop the space-time rift above Mount Coronet. The player travels to each of [[Hisui]]'s three lakes and receives a material required to craft the chain from each of the lake guardians: [[Azelf's Fang]], [[Uxie's Claw]], and [[Mesprit's Plume]]. Bringing these materials to the [[Shrouded Ruins]] will allow the lake guardians to craft the Red Chain for the player. With the chain in hand, the player then climbs to the summit of Mount Coronet. | The Red Chain is first mentioned by [[Cogita]], who says it could be used to stop the space-time rift above Mount Coronet.

===Non-item appearances=== | |||
In the [[Sinnoh]]-based games, [[Mars]], [[Jupiter]], and [[Saturn]] succeed in capturing {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Uxie}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, respectively, at their respective lakes and bringing them to the [[Team Galactic HQ]], where gems are extracted from their bodies to create the Red Chain. | |||
====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl==== | |||

Even though the {{player}} succeeds in freeing the [[lake guardians]], the Red Chain is still completed. At the [[Spear Pillar]], [[Cyrus]] uses the chain to summon and take control of {{p|Dialga}}{{sup/4|D}}{{sup/8|BD}}/{{p|Palkia}}{{sup/4|P}}{{sup/8|SP}}. However, just when the [[Legendary Pokémon]] is about to fulfill Cyrus's wish of a new universe, the lake guardians appear and destroy the Red Chain, preventing the new universe from being created. | |||
====Pokémon Platinum==== | |||
[[File:Red Chain Platinum.png|thumb|250px|Cyrus using the Red Chain in Platinum]] | |||
Due to the player freeing the lake guardians when only one Red Chain was created, Cyrus is forced to create a second one through artificial means. Using these two chains, he summons both Dialga and Palkia to the Spear Pillar in order to recreate the universe. Even though the lake guardians appear to intervene, they cannot maintain the balance against both of the Legendary Pokémon at once. However, enraged by Cyrus's actions, {{p|Giratina}} then appears and drags Cyrus into the [[Distortion World]], presumably destroying the Red Chains in the process. | |||
====Cyrus's PC entries==== | |||
Cyrus's computer details information on the Red Chain: | |||
:<ab>''According to myths, the {{p|Arceus|Pokémon}} created [[Sinnoh]] with its power. However, capturing the [[Pokémon of Myth|Pokémon]] with a [[Poké Ball]] prevents it from using its full power... But with the Red Chain, the Pokémon can be shackled, and its power can be used without restraint...''</ab> | |||
:<ab>''The [[lake guardians|Pokémon of the lakes]] and [[Mount Coronet|Mt. Coronet]] are somehow connected. Capturing the Pokémon of the lakes will free the [[Pokémon of Myth|Pokémon of Mt. Coronet]]. From the Pokémon of the lakes, crystals can be extracted to create a Red Chain. | |||
Using that Red Chain, the {{p|Dialga|mythical}} {{p|Palkia|Pokémon}} can be summoned and shackled to do as we command...'' | |||
</ab> | |||

* The Red Chain's appearance as a dummied-out Key Item indicates that, during development, it may have been intended to have the same purpose as other [[Legendary artifacts]] in [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|III}}: the [[Rainbow Wing]], [[Silver Wing]], [[Red Orb]], and [[Blue Orb]] all have a role in summoning the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} pair of [[game mascot]]s of [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]]'s games, respectively. Whatever the case, it serves no purpose if it is hacked into the [[Bag]]. | * The Red Chain's appearance as a dummied-out Key Item in [[Generation IV]] indicates that, during development, it may have been intended to have the same purpose as other [[Legendary artifacts]] in [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|III}}: the [[Rainbow Wing]], [[Silver Wing]], [[Red Orb]], and [[Blue Orb]] all have a role in summoning the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} pair of [[game mascot]]s of [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]]'s games, respectively.
