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

Then you are off, having some of your first battles in the game. This is the first route where you can {{pkmn|battle}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. There are three Trainers here, none of which have a Pokémon stronger than [[level]] 5.

The Pokétch building is the northwest corner of the city. If you return after you receive an odd-numbered badge (i.e., the {{badge|Coal}}, {{badge|Cobble}}, {{badge|Relic}}, and {{badge|Icicle}}), you can talk to the owner inside the building to receive a new [[Pokétch#Apps|application (Apps)]] for your Pokétch. Out of those you can receive from him, the {{DL|Pokétch|Marking Map}} is one of the most useful apps because it can be used to track [[Roaming Pokémon]].

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}}.

{{p|Budew}} is a {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon and the newly-added pre-evolution of Roselia. It evolves into {{p|Roselia}} if leveled up when its [[friendship]] is high, and will evolve again into the new final form {{p|Roserade}} when a [[Shiny Stone]] is used. Roselia evolutionary line has very high {{DL|Stats|Special Attack}} and can learn the whole line of {{m|Absorb}}. Budew starts of with Absorb, picks up {{m|Mega Drain}} and eventually {{m|Giga Drain}} if evolved. Be sure to evolve it because Budew doesn't learn any good moves after picking up Mega Drain, unless it evolves. Try to let Budew evolve at or before Level 19 because that's when Roselia learns {{m|Magical Leaf}}. Afterwards, Roselia can learn {{m|Petal Dance}}. When Roselia evolves into Roserade, it doesn't learn any more moves, but its Special Attack will skyrocket. Roselia's evolutionary line can also learn {{m|SolarBeam}} and {{m|Sludge Bomb}} (a {{type|Poison}} move that has high base power and may poison the opponent), through [[TM]]s, making use of their high Sp. Atk.

Enter the cave on the east and you will find yourself in [[Oreburgh Gate]]. The {{tc|Hiker}} at the entrance stops you and gives you [[HM06]] ({{m|Rock Smash}}), but you can't use it outside battle until you get the {{badge|Coal}}. Then fight the two Trainers inside the cave. There is nothing to do here until except fight the two Trainers and catch a {{p|Geodude}} or {{p|Zubat}} until you have your first badge. Head east to [[Oreburgh City]].

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}}.

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]].
