There is a rather large statue of an ancient Pokémon (in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond]], it is named as {{p|Dialga}}; in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pearl]], {{p|Palkia}}; and in {{v2|Platinum}}, it is a combination of both) on the east side of town. The statue was once the main center of festivals in the town, although signs of the town's culture and rituals have started to slip away. Of late, both [[Team Galactic]] and [[Cynthia]] become interested in the statue. After the [[National Pokédex]] has been obtained and the {{player}} has visited [[Pal Park]], [[Professor Oak]] appears in the southernmost house in the city.

A woman in the Pokémon Center will give the player [[Pokétch]] app #6, the {{DL|Pokétch|Friendship Checker}}. Beside the Pokémon Center is the [[Underground Man]]'s House, where the [[Explorer Kit]] can be obtained. The kit gives access to [[the Underground]].

Located in the northeast of the city, this is one of the two [[Team Galactic]] headquarters. In {{game|Platinum}}, the building looks vastly different from its appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. To reach the building, the move {{m|Cut}} must be used on a small tree blocking the entrance.

The [[Herb Shop]] is located to the east of the Team Galactic Eterna Building, and sells effective yet inexpensive herbs. A lady runs it.

This Pokémon statue is up a little hill to the east of Eterna City. In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, the statue has a plate (dependent on the game), while in {{game|Platinum}} the plate has been torn off the statue. It was once the centerpiece of many festivals.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Eterna City has 51 residents, not counting Team Galactic, with the majority of the population in buildings on the main street.

===Pokémon Platinum===

In {{game|Platinum}}, Eterna City has 50 residents, not counting Team Galactic, with the majority of the population in buildings on the main street.

On certain days, the player can challenge a Trainer who appears in the Pokémon Center. Depending on the game progress, these Trainers will have teams with higher leveled Pokémon upon rematch.

In ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'', [[Johanna]] announced an upcoming [[Pokémon Contest]] in Eterna City. While heading out to see it, [[Chloe]] met Dawn, who revealed that she was going to participate in said Contest. In [[JN075|the next episode]], Ash and [[Goh]] joined them, but the Contest ended up occuring off-screen after the episode had ended.

===={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}====

Eterna City first appeared in ''[[PS346|Ring Around the Roserade I]]'', where {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} arrived there while on their journey [[Mt. Coronet]]. While training for Platinum's [[Eterna Gym]] challenge, the trio's [[starter Pokémon]] evolved, and they met [[Cynthia]], who had come to the city to search for the missing [[Rad Rickshaw]]. While Platinum challenged [[Gardenia]] at the Gym and eventually managed to earn herself the {{badge|Forest}}, Cynthia found Rad Rickshaw found being held captive by [[Team Galactic]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] and saved him using her {{p|Spiritomb}}. Afterwards, Rad Rickshaw mistook Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum being the ones who had saved him and gave each of them a [[Bicycle]] as a gift.

In ''[[PS389|Cautious Clefairy]]'', Pearl returned to the city to deliver a package to Rad Rickshaw. In return, Rickshaw helped with Pearl's errand by revealing the reason why Team Galactic held him hostage: his ancestors had been the ones who built the statue in the city. In this [[canon]], the statue is neither {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} but a combination of the two statues (similar to how it appears in the games). Rickshaw also built a tandem bike, using the parts he ordered, in order to help Pearl and himself get to [[Lake Valor]] before Team Galactic, as they were planning to blow up one of Sinnoh's three lakes.

===={{chap|Platinum}}====

In ''[[PS430|Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost)]]'', Diamond and Pearl followed {{TP|Diamond|Rotom}} from the [[Old Chateau]] to the city, eventually befriending it. At the end of the round, {{p|Giratina}} created a portal inside the city and attacked it, destroying the statue. As [[Reg|Diamond's Regigigas]] started fighting against Giratina, [[Charon]], on his quest to capture all the [[Legendary Pokémon]] of Sinnoh, sent his newly-{{pkmn2|caught}} {{p|Heatran}} out to fight Regigigas. When Giratina eventually re-entered the portal, Charon chose to abandon the fight, which wasn't even going in his favor anymore, and pursued Giratina into the [[Distortion World]], followed by [[Saturn]], [[Mars]], and [[Jupiter]], who had been observing the events and decided to try finding [[Cyrus]] from the other world, where he had disappeared into the at the end of the previous chapter.

* In {{game|Platinum}}, there is a man in Eterna that states there was another Plate, other than {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}'s plate, but he has never seen it. It may be for {{p|Giratina}}.
