Trophy Garden

The Trophy Garden (Japanese: じまんのうらにわ Pride Backyard) is an area located on Route 212 where many rare Pokémon can be caught. It is located behind the Pokémon Mansion.

There are many Pokémon that can be found here without any interaction with the Trophy Garden's owner, Mr. Backlot. All of these Pokémon are in the Sinnoh Dex, and many can be found in other areas. After the player has defeated the Elite Four and gotten the National Dex upgrade, however, Pokémon that do not otherwise appear in Sinnoh will be placed in the Trophy Garden by Backlot's butler to cover up for his fibs, with a different one there daily. On any given day, the "planted" Pokémon that was in the Trophy Garden the previous time Mr. Backlot was last spoken with will also still be there, allowing a two-day window to catch each of these Pokémon.

In the anime, Dawn captures her Swinub here in Hungry for the Good Life!.

Trivia

• The player can eventually make a desired Pokémon in the above list appear by saving before talking to Mr. Backlot and resetting until the Pokémon is put in. Note that this method does not work for Pokémon swarms.
  • Another common trick is to put a level 18 Pokémon in the first slot of the party and use a Repel, though this returns only Pikachu and the daily Pokémon, like Chansey. This method may be used to obtain rare held items, such as a Lucky Egg, Light Ball, Oval Stone, or a Moon Stone. However, it only works in Diamond and Pearl, as Platinum has higher levels for most Pokémon, and thus the wild Pokémon would be above the threshold.
