Pastoria City: Difference between revisions

The Great Marsh is an area located right to the north of Pastoria City. It is the main attraction of Pastoria City that gets many visitors and Trainers coming from around the area. The Great Marsh contains some {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that cannot be found elsewhere in Sinnoh. It is filled with [[marsh tile|marshy areas]], which are inhabited by wild Pokémon. Much like other Pokémon preserves in [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]], the Great Marsh features a Safari Game in which Trainers pay {{PDollar}}500 for 30 {{ball|Safari}}s and a limited amount of steps (500) to catch as many Pokémon as they can. When a [[wild Pokémon]] appears, no Pokémon may be sent out to battle it: catching Pokémon here, as in all [[Safari Zone]]s, requires sheer luck. There are four options in the battle screen: Throw a {{ball|Safari}}, throw Bait, throw Mud, and [[escape|run away]]. Throwing Bait makes a Pokémon less likely to run, but makes it harder to catch; while throwing Mud does the reverse, making it easier to catch but more likely to run. Each day, a special type of Pokémon which can only be found on one day, will change, therefore, to get a new set, players must wait a day. These Pokémon will appear randomly in one of the six areas, some may not appear for a while, while others appear several days in a row or in multiple areas on the same day. Some may not appear until after getting the National Pokédex. The only way to tell which changing Pokémon is available in the areas for the day is to use the lookout upstairs from the entrance.

The Move Reminder allows {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to relearn any [[move]] that they were able to learn at an earlier [[level]] than the one they are currently at, or ones from that level. Certain Pokémon have moves that may only be obtained in this fashion. The Move Reminder resides in a house northeast of the Poké Mart and will teach a Pokémon a move it could have previously learned but has not, in exchange for a Heart Scale. These may be obtained from [[The Underground]], from the man in the [[Pokémon News Press]], or from wild {{p|Luvdisc}} after the [[National Pokédex]] is acquired.

The Pastoria Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Pastoria City. It is based on {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Crasher Wake]]. The Pastoria Gym is a large indoor swimming pool comprised of three levels and numerous floating platforms. Switches on the floor of the pool raise and lower the water level. To get to the Gym Leader, the switches must be hit in a certain order so that a path will be formed with the floating platforms. For defeating [[Crasher Wake]], Trainers receive the {{Badge|Fen}}, {{TM|55|Brine}}, and the ability to use {{m|Defog}} in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and {{m|Surf}} in {{v|Platinum}} outside of battle.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the population of Pastoria City is 47, which also happens to be the same number as [[Sunyshore City]].
