[[File:Sinnoh Route 229 Pt.png|thumb|300px|Route 229]]

This should be a simple straightforward route. In the high grass area there is a man that is not easy to see due to the trees that will give you two nuggets if you talk with him twice. Also one of the trainers is also hidden and will require some observation to find because of the trees. You will need {{m|Cut}} for finding two of the items. In the southern most area where two of the trainers are, there are two paths. Going west will take you to {{rt|230|Sinnoh}}, while going east takes you to [[Resort Area]]. Let's go to Resort Area first.

[[File:Resort Area Pt.png|thumb|200px|Resort Area]]

There isn't much to do here aside from a few different things and notably this is the only place in the game besides [[Twinleaf Town]] not to have a Poké Mart or similar establishment so you can't buy items here.

Located in the large building in the northeastern part of town. This is a very hard building to get into as you must have 10 different kinds of Ribbons on your current party just to be permitted entry and accepted as a member so you need to focus on winning different kinds of Contests just to have a chance of being permitted entry.  

Much like with the massage therapist in [[Veilstone City]] their spa treatment to which you may be able to use once a day can also be used to increase a Pokémon's happiness factor. One difference is that it can also be used on Pokémon eggs, enabling the Pokémon that hatches from that egg to already possess that increased happiness factor. Also you can purchase rare Ribbons not found elsewhere at very high prices.

Located in the southeastern area of town. Once you arrive the previous owner will turn over the house to you and help you get a table. You can purchase other furniture with the booklet found on the table at high prices, allowing you to decorate similar to the Secret Base found in the Underground. One major difference is visited by other characters like the [[Sinnoh]] [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Professor Rowan]], {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}, {{ga|Barry}}, and the [[Johanna|your character's mother]]. See [[Villa furniture|this list]] for more details.

For the last numbered route in the game this is pretty much an easy route to go through since all you have to do is {{m|Surf}} to the other side to reach the [[Fight Area]]. As long as you have both a {{t|Grass}} and {{type|Electric}} type with you then you should have no problems. You will need {{m|Rock Smash}} for the small island found on this route to reach all the items (2 of them are hidden) found on it. Now lets go after the remaining legendary Pokémon, so we'll go to [[Snowpoint Temple]] first.

You will need {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} for this mission if you want a chance of facing and catching {{p|Regigigas}}. Your only options is to migrate them from {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} through [[Pal Park]] or with the aid of a Regigigas received from a special {{pkmn2|event}}, keep it in your party to [[Appendix:Platinum walkthrough/Catching the Legendary golems|collect]] all three.

When you approach the temple the guard states that you are not qualified to enter, but [[Candice]] appears and vouches for you which allows you to enter.

Rock Smash can help here although you do not actually need it. After following the path take the stairs to B3F.

===BF3===

[[File:Snowpoint Temple B4F DPPt.png|thumb|left|150px|Snowpoint Temple (B4F)]]

The sliding on the ice is a bit tricky. Your main objective is to first slide on the ice until you got to the part where there is no ice. Next slide ←, ↑, →, then ↑ to reach the stairs. You can now go to B4F.

[[File:Snowpoint Temple B5F DPPt.png|thumb|150px|Snowpoint Temple (B5F)]]

While this new sliding puzzle looks difficult, it can be easy with the right steps. From the tile next to the first rock nearest your entry point travel ↓ to reach the unfrozen tile southwest of Regigigas. Now very carefully travel in this order ↓, →, ↑, ←, ↓, →, ↑ to reach Regigigas. If you have the three Regis in your party then Regigigas will awaken and face you when you interact with it. Save before that happens.

With Regigigas at the measly level of 1, just Paralyze and {{m|False Swipe}} it and then catch it. Hopefully it won't be too much trouble. Now return to [[Mt. Coronet]]'s south area and return to [[Spear Pillar]] for the final part of the game.

Before going to Mt. Coronet and the Spear Pillar, return to [[Celestic Town]] and talk to Cynthia's grandmother as it is crucial. If you got the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Lustrous Orb}} at Mt. Coronet earlier after beating the [[Sunyshore Gym]] then Cynthia's grandmother will explain their connection to {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Now they will appear when you return to Spear Pillar.

 

The way this works is that you'll see a blue jewel which is another dimension where Dialga is, interact with it to challenge Dialga. After this leave Spear Pillar for Mt. Coronet and quickly return where this time a purple colored jewel will appear for Palkia which can be done the same way.

When you face them, be careful as they are at Lv. 70, the same as {{p|Heatran}}. Make sure your team is at least Lv. 63 or higher. Quickly paralyze them and then weaken them with moves that cause normal damage and then work on catching them. While they may have {{m|Earth Power}} to counter {{type|Steel}}s that could withstand their other moves, certain Steel-types like {{p|Forretress}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Skarmory}} are better suited as their other types help prevent them from taking super effective damage. With {{DL|Poké Ball|Ultra Ball}}s or {{DL|Poké Ball|Dusk Ball}}s it shouldn't be too hard to catch them.

When now that pretty much covers everything in the game and all that you can do at this point is challenge the [[Elite Four]], [[Battleground]], and [[Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Frontier]]. Also once you've collected all the Pokémon in the game and traded in the ones you can't get in the game, go to the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] on [[Valor Lakefront]] and meet the Game Freak director to get your Diploma for completing your Pokédex.
