'''Dual-slot mode''' (Japanese: '''ダブルスロット''' ''Double-Slot''), often called the '''Dongle method''', is one of the many ways that players of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} can obtain Pokémon that are outside of the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]], especially Pokémon that are exclusive to other regions, by using the [[GBA]] games of the series as {{wp|dongle}}s for the DS games.

The majority of Pokémon that can be obtained in this way are in some way [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] to one of the [[Generation III]] games. With one of the five Game Boy Advance games inserted into the GBA slot of a [[Nintendo DS]] while playing either Diamond or Pearl, players will be able to find Pokémon not otherwise available in [[Generation IV]] in certain areas of [[Sinnoh]], but only after they have unlocked the ability to use [[Pal Park]] as well. One does not need to have the game in their GBA slot the whole time; one just needs to have it in at the main screen, at which time one can simply take the cartridge out, as long as one doesn't turn the power off before catching the Pokémon. | The majority of Pokémon that can be obtained in this way are in some way [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] to one of the [[Generation III]] games.
