Underground: Difference between revisions

{{Featured}}

The Underground is also where [[secret base]]s are created in the [[Generation IV]] games. The spheres dug up in the mining minigame can be traded to explorers found throughout the caves for objects to furnish secret bases. Secret bases can be created in any part of the wall using a [[Digger Drill]]. These bases can be decorated with ten items each.

If a player visits a secret base of another player, they can get that player's flag. After successfully returning the other player's flag to one's own base, the player's record is updated. The number of flags captured (either from the same "opponent" or several ones) upgrades the player's secret base computer. Each upgrade changes the graphic slightly (the icons resemble the evolution of personal computer technology) and also allows the player to remove additional boulders from their base using the "Store" option of the "Decorate" menu. This allows more room for decorations to be placed. Boulders that have been removed cannot be placed back into the base, although they'll reappear if a new base is created.

A crucial feature of the underground is vendors. These explorers appear to be stationary and only rotate in place. There are three types of vendors in the underground. The first group of vendors are those who accept the player's treasures and give them spheres in return. The second group of vendors are those who accept spheres and give goods in return, and vice versa. The last group of vendors are those who accept spheres and give traps in return, and vice versa. Vendors change their prices on items and which items they sell every day, so one vendor may not have the same item for two days in a row. Vendors allow the player to decorate their secret base and plant traps anywhere in the underground. In the map of the underground at the top of the page, the yellow dots are the trap vendors, the red dots are the treasure vendors, and the blue dots are the goods vendors.

The underground network of tunnels enabled [[Professor Rowan]], [[Pokémon Professor#In the manga|Mr. Berlitz]], the Underground Man and the [[Gym Leader]]s of Sinnoh to reach the [[Spear Pillar]] and assemble without [[Team Galactic]] noticing near the end of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}.
