Appendix:Platinum walkthrough/Section 17: Difference between revisions

From the entrance go to the water area you saw before in the northern area and {{m|Surf}} across it to head for the upper right corner of the room and then use {{m|Rock Climb}} to reach the stairs to reach 2F.

Here it is like a maze so if you want to avoid wild Pokémon battles throughout this and other areas in Mt. Coronet use Repel items. It would be a good idea to primarily focus on using your Dowsing Machine on your Pokétch throughout Mt. Coronet as there will be a lot of hidden items. Anyway as you go through the door on the left takes you outside of Mt. Coronet back to {{rt|207|Sinnoh}} that you can get some items that were previously inaccessible to you. Don't forget to pick up {{TM|80|Rock Slide}} as {{m|Rock Slide}} is a very useful move to have. Once you reach the exit to the 1st area of 2F which is in the north, [[Looker]] will show up and knowing that both [[Cyrus]] and the Galactic Commanders are out of his league, will let you go on ahead knowing only you can stop them, though he will give you the {{DL|Flute|Black Flute}} before you go. Afterwards climb the stairs in the next room and head to the 3F.

When you arrive head to the other stairs on the right to briefly return to 2F to find a hidden {{DL|Valuable item|Star Piece}}. You'll also deal with your first two Galactic grunts who shouldn't be that much of a challenge if you use the right Pokémon. Afterwards follow the path that leads to the outdoor snowy area of Mt. Coronet

===Summit===

You are now in the southern area of the summit. As it is constantly Hailing, the move {{m|Hail}} is always in effect, causing minor damage to non-{{type|Ice}} Pokémon or those without the {{a|Snow Cloak}} or {{a|Magic Guard}} abilities. Anyway make sure to have your Dowsing Machine ready as there are lots of hidden items nearby. There are two entrances to the 4F from here which are found on the east and west sides that are right above the entrance you used to get here. Going to the nearby east entrance first you can use Rock Climb to scale the wall and find a grass area that has some hidden items. The 4F area around here is the lower area of the 4F which has little use at this point aside from collecting hidden items. Back outside in the summit, follow the path from and with help from Strength and Rock Smash you can find some hidden items as you make your way to the upper-west entrance to 4F which is the correct area to go.

Once inside from the west entrance use Rock Climb to ascend to the upper area of 4F and head for the exit to the east that will take you to the upper half of the summit defeating two more Galactic grunts in your way.

===Summit===

From here follow the path and take the stairs down and you will find two more Rock Climb points and another cave entrance that will take you to a special tunnel.

You don't have to explore this part of the cave yet if you don't want to since it is out of your way. You can still battle three Galactic Grunts and find some hidden items if you want to. Also a fourth grunt is guarding the entrance to a secret passage that leads to the Mt. Coronet North Side's 1F which you won't be able to access until after your battle against {{p|Giratina}}.  

This time ascend using the Rock Climb area facing west and follow the path that will lead you to the 5F, collecting more hidden items if you wish.

Not much here and pretty straight forward with only one hidden item and wild Pokémon found here. Take the nearby stairs to 6F.

You can find two more hidden items here as well as two more Galactic Grunts and then take the stairs to 7F.

All you need to do is defeat one last Galactic Grunts and head for the exit where at last you have reached [[Spear Pillar]].

When you first arrive you will have to deal with two Galactic Grunts in a [[Double Battle]], where you will have to use two of your Pokémon to defeat theirs. Afterwards and you'll find that both [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] wish to challenge you. Luckily {{ga|Barry}} shows and this quickly turns into another Double Battle, this time with Barry as your tag battle partner.  

 

Both of the Commanders use {{p|Bronzor}}, {{p|Golbat}}, and their signature Pokémon, {{p|Purugly}} in Mar's case, or {{p|Skuntank}} in Jupiter's place. Quickly take down both Bronzor, before they can use {{m|Reflect}} or {{m|Light Screen}} to halve out the damages caused by your moves, and also making sure to use a {{t|Fighting}} or {{type|Ground}} type with a powerful move for taking out their signature Pokémon, while an {{t|Electric}} or {{type|Rock}} can take out their Golbat. In addition, the assistance that Barry's Pokémon provide can help make it easier based on how the battle progresses.

After the battle, Barry heals your Pokémon before leaving. You'll watch as [[Cyrus]] uses the Red Chain to summon both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} to destroy then recreate the world in his image. {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} then show up and while Cyrus thinks it is pointless for the Lake Guardians since they cannot stand against both Dialga and Palkia's combined power, suddenly the ground opens up and another mysterious Pokémon has appeared. Cyrus finds this amusing and then all of a sudden the mysterious Pokémon makes a move and Cyrus disappears and a mysterious portal is left behind.  

[[Cynthia]] then appears and you'll both watch as the three Lake Guardians enter the portal. Cynthia then reveals that the mysterious Pokémon is Giratina and according to legends lives in a mysterious [[Distortion World]] which is the world the portal is connected to and unless if it is closed then it will spread and endanger the whole world. Once you accept Cynthia's offer, the both of you will head to the Distortion World. Also at this point both Dialga and Palkia are counted as seen in your Pokédex, which should help with completing the listing on the Sinnoh region Pokémon and getting the National Pokédex.
