From the beginning you will need to use Defog to remove the intense fog to make it easier to fight wild Pokémon in here. Here you will find a very large pool of water. Besides needing {{m|Surf}} for it, if you fish in four random squares you will find a {{p|Feebas}} here. Any rod will do, although you might need {{m|False Swipe}} if you wish to catch it without making it faint. It would also be a good idea to fish 2-3 times in each spot before moving again to help with finding Feebas since it is not guaranteed you'll find one right away even if it is the right spot. You can also find some items here with the help of both Strength and Rock Smash. Anyway follow the western area north to find the exit to the other part of the 1F that leads to Route 216.

One new change here in Platinum is the entrance to a new area the [[Iceburg Ruins]]. With a {{pkmn2|event}} {{p|Regigigas}} in your party it will become a shrine to {{p|Regice}}. If not, it is a regular chamber that holds the NeverMeltIce here. Once you have gotten the National Pokédex and have the event Regigigas with you, then you can challenge Regice to battle and have a chance to catch it. Anyway when ready head out through the west exit to reach Route 216.

This area will be difficult to navigate due to both the slow movement and heavy blizzard besides having to deal with Hail conditions in battle. Also there are ninja themed trainers hiding in the snow so look for mounds in the snow to find and face them. Use your Dowsing Machine to find hidden items while you are at it. When you arrive you'll encounter the Gym Leader [[Maylene]] who is traveling to [[Snowpoint City]] not properly dressed as a form of exercise. Out of all the items you can find as you are exploring the route make sure to to go to the first house in the middle of the route to find {{HM|08|Rock Climb}}. You will still need the next badge to use it outside of battle.  

If you enter the house after collecting the HM, the person inside who owned the HM lets you keep it and also gives you the {{DL|Plate|Icicle Plate}}. Right by the house in the northeastern section of the Route is the [[Icy Rock]] where if you level up {{p|Eevee}} around it, it will evolve into a {{p|Glaceon}}.

Follow the path to reach the entrance to Lake Acuity's entrance and you'll see your rival {{ga|Barry}} there. He tells you to climb the peak that leads to Lake Acuity you will need to win the badge at the [[Snowpoint Gym]]. After he leaves head east to Snowpoint City.

[[File:Snowpoint City DP.png|thumb|275px|Snowpoint City]]

Snowpoint City has a few attractions, the main ones of interest to you on your first visit will be the Gym and possibly the [[Move Tutor]].

|

{{itlisth|snow}}

Located in the upper right hand corner house is the move tutor where much like the one on {{rt|212}} you can trade him shards in exchange for learning new moves if that Pokémon you want to teach it to is compatible.

In the upper left hand house is a girl who will trade a {{p|Haunter}} named Gasrap that will hold an {{DL|Evolutionary stone|Everstone}} in exchange for an {{p|Medicham}}.

The secret to the puzzle of the gym is to smash the snowballs on the ground is to slide in from above at a fast enough speed to smash them. Your main goal is that from the entrance, head straight to reach the Gym Leader, but only after you've smashed the snowballs that were in the way. Just slide around the gym and predict which areas you need to slide down to smash those snowballs though of course it will take some time to experiment until all the necessary snowballs are gone. Fortunately if you are lucky you do not have to face all of the Gym Trainers in this Gym if you want.
