Jubilife TV
Jubilife TV (Japanese: テレビコトブキ TV Kotobuki) is a television station headquartered in Jubilife City, Sinnoh. Its broadcasts reach residents across the region, spreading information far and wide. The building itself is not accessible until after the player has obtained the Coal Badge and defeated the Galactic Grunts to the north of the city; until this point a clown will block the entrance.
The headquarters is also home to a daily lottery, where, depending on how much the drawn number matches the Trainer ID number of Pokémon owned by the drawing Trainer, he or she may win a new backdrop for Super Contests (an Ultra Ball in Platinum), a PP Up, an Exp. Share, a Max Revive, or even, if the numbers match exactly, a Master Ball.
On the second floor, Trainers can dress up their Pokémon using their Accessories. On the third floor, players can see various records set by those they have mixed records with. Additionally, a man on the third floor allows the player to activate Mystery Gift.
Trainers
A Trainer appears in the lobby and can be fought once a day in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions. The Trainer that appears depends on the current day.
