Appendix:Diamond and Pearl walkthrough/Section 2: Difference between revisions

When you first reach {{rt|202|Sinnoh}}, [[Professor Rowan]]'s assistant ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will give a demonstration on how to catch Pokémon by catching a wild {{p|Bidoof}}. The assistant then gives you five [[Poké Ball]]s. The Pokémon that Lucas/Dawn has is the [[starter Pokémon]] that neither you nor {{ga|Barry}} choose earlier. Before departing, Lucas/Dawn will mention that it is easier to capture a [[wild Pokémon]] if you lower the Pokémon's {{DL|Stats|Hit Points}} more, and even easier if you inflict a [[status condition]]. Now that you can capture Pokémon, you can also [[trade]] between games through the [[Union Room]].

!{{MS|393|Piplup (Pokémon)}} If the {{Player}} chose {{p|Piplup}}<br>Tutorial:

Now that you can now use Poké Balls, it is recommended that you start catching a few Pokémon, such as {{p|Starly}} or {{p|Shinx}}. You will be facing {{ga|Barry}} soon and his starter Pokémon will be at the point where it will have a move of its own type in its arsenal, so your starter may need the extra backup.

Catching {{p|Bidoof}} and [[Evolution|evolving]] it into a {{p|Bibarel}} (a {{t|Normal}}/{{t|Water}}-type Pokémon) is probably the best [[HM slave]] in the game because it can learn most of the [[HM]]s in the game. {{p|Shinx}} is a good pickup as a solid choice that evolves into {{p|Luxio}} and then {{p|Luxray}}. Shinx helps against {{type|Water}} and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon if you picked {{p|Turtwig}} or {{p|Chimchar}}, and helps {{p|Piplup}} out as well, but Shinx's evolutionary line focuses on {{DL|Stats|Attack}} instead of {{DL|Stats|Special Attack}}, so [[Special move|Special-based moves]] such as {{m|Discharge}} that it learns quite late and {{m|Thunderbolt}} will not deal much damage. Shinx and its evolutions can learn some [[Physical move|Physical-based]] {{type|Electric}} moves such as {{m|Spark}} and {{m|Thunder Fang}}, as well as two {{type|Dark}} moves, {{m|Bite}} and {{m|Crunch}}. These moves don't come early, though. {{p|Kricketot}} is hard to use even when it evolves into {{p|Kricketune}}. {{p|Starly}} is one of the best {{type|Flying}} Pokémon in the game, especially when it evolves into {{p|Staravia}} and then {{p|Staraptor}}, getting {{m|Close Combat}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}, plus being able to learn {{m|Fly}} and having very high {{DL|Stats|Attack}}.

The building west of the [[Pokémon Center]] is the {{si|Trainers' School}}. Here, you meet Barry and give him the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Parcel}}, which contains two [[Town Map]]s. Barry gives you one of them then leaves for [[Oreburgh City]]. There are two [[Pokémon Trainer]]s that can be fought here, in the northeast corner of the school. After you beat them, you will receive a {{TM|10|Hidden Power}}.

The {{DL|Pokétch|Pokétch Company}} makes a new appliance called the Pokémon Watch, or [[Pokétch]] for short. After you receive the [[Town Map]], the owner of the company, who is in the center of town, will approach you. He tells you to bring him three [[List of key items in Generation IV#Coupons 1, 2, and 3|Coupons]] from the {{tc|clown}}s around the city, and he will give you a Pokétch. The clowns ask simple yes/no-questions about Pokémon (and the answer is always "Yes"). When you get the question correct, you receive the Coupon. After you get all three Coupons, return to the man to receive the Pokétch. You can get the three Coupons in any order because you can talk to the clowns in any order you like.

Inside the building west of Jubilife City that leads to {{rt|218|Sinnoh}}, you can receive the {{DL|Fishing|Old Rod}} from a {{tc|Fisherman}}, who also offers to teach you [[Fishing#Generation IV|how to fish]]. You can't do anything on Route 218 but fish until you get {{m|Surf}}, but you can catch a {{p|Magikarp}} here with your Old Rod. This is a useful Pokémon if you have enough patience, because while Magikarp is the weakest Pokémon ever, it evolves into the brutally powerful {{p|Gyarados}}, which is a great addition to a team and can learn {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Strength}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}}.

Back in Jubilife City, the apartment east of the TV station has a blond-haired girl on the first floor that will give you a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Quick Claw}}.

To avoid wild Pokémon, you can use the {{DL|Repel|Repel}} found on the north bank of the pond. In the future, you will be able to buy Repels from [[Poké Mart]]s.

{{Itemlist|HM Fighting|Obtained by hiker from the entrance.|D=yes|P=yes|display={{HM|06|Rock Smash}}}}

If you explore around town, you can find a woman in a condominium west of the [[Poké Mart]] who will trade you an {{p|Abra}} for a {{p|Machop}}. If you wanted an Abra but were unable to catch one on {{rt|203|Sinnoh}}, you can find a Machop on {{rt|207|Sinnoh}} (directly north of Oreburgh City) to trade. You can also find different types of [[Poké Ball]]s from different people around town. One of these, a {{DL|Poké Ball|Heal Ball}}, can be obtained in the same building as the woman who wants a Machop by showing the man on the second floor a {{p|Zubat}}.

{{itemlist|Pal Pad|Obtained from [[Teala]] in the basement of the [[Pokémon Center]].|D=yes|P=yes}}

The only important building in Oreburgh City is the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]]. When you retrieve a [[Fossil]] from [[the Underground]] later on, you can talk to the man at the counter in the building to revive the Fossil and retrieve whichever Pokémon is associated with that Fossil. Each version determines what kind of Fossil is commonly found, aside from the [[Old Amber]].

===Oreburgh Pokémon Centre===

Though all [[Pokémon Centre]]s have a [[Pokémon Center#Wireless Club 2|Wi-Fi Club]] in their basements, Oreburgh's is the first one you can access. An attendant named [[Teala]] will give you a [[Pal Pad]] and explain how it works the first time you enter. You can now battle and [[trade]] with other players using their [[Friend Code]]. Additionally, a {{tc|Psychic}} on the ground floor will ask you which kind of Trainer you want to be, presenting you with four options to choose from. This becomes your [[Trainer class]] while you are in a [[Union Room]], and is otherwise assigned randomly.
