Mt. Coronet (Japanese: テンガンざん Mt. Tengan) is the highest mountain in the Sinnoh region, part of a long mountain range that divides the region in half. Most of it is a deep cave, though there are several above-ground areas in which it snows constantly.
The cave that winds through the mountain is apparently man-made, as bridges run through it, though the higher one climbs, the more rugged it becomes. As a centerpiece of the region, the cave connects Oreburgh City, Eterna City, Hearthome City, Celestic Town, and Snowpoint City via Routes 207, 208, 211, 216, and 217. To fully navigate the mountain's caves, Surf, Strength, Defog, Rock Smash, Rock Climb, and Waterfall are required.
According to legend, Mt. Coronet is where the Sinnoh region began. Arceus created Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina at Spear Pillar, as well as the Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous Orbs, then fell into an unending sleep on the highest point of the mountain.
Geography
Mt. Coronet stands in the middle of Sinnoh, extending from the northern wilderness to the southern tip of the region, splitting it into two halves. It is truly best defined as a mountain range, with the highest peak shrouded in legend, perhaps being the highest mountain in the entire Pokémon world. Spear Pillar is situated at the highest point, an ancient shrine to Pokémon now only in ruins, with several of its pillars still standing, all pointing skyward. The legend of the creation trio is deeply connected to the mountain, as is the plot of Team Galactic. A stained glass window in the Foreign Building in Hearthome City depicts the mountain with a bright shine, representing Spear Pillar and possibly depicting the creation of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. Its place in Sinnoh has caused variation in the species of Shellos and Gastrodon, which have different coloration depending on the side of Sinnoh they are native to.
Mt. Coronet's southern cavern, which leads between Route 207 and Route 208, features several elevated rock formations as well as several pools of water. It is here where the player will first meet Cyrus in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and meet him for a second time in Pokémon Platinum. Though it is a simple cavern, requiring no HMs to pass through, it features the only way to Spear Pillar, only accessible with Rock Climb and Surf.
The northern cavern is vastly different from the southern one, with no pools of water on the ground floor, and requiring Rock Smash and Strength to navigate between the two halves of Route 211 and toward Route 216. At its northern section, this cavern leads further below the surface, into an area blanketed in a dense fog where a large underground lake is located. This lake is the only place that Feebas is available in Sinnoh, though like in Hoenn, it is found only in specific tiles on any given day (see Finding Feebas). At the north end of this area is a way back up to Mt. Coronet's northernmost cave, leading out toward Route 216, and in Platinum, where the Iceburg Ruins is located.
The upper caverns are increasingly complex areas, though eventually the player will make his or her way outside of the mountain, into its snowy peaks. This outer area features constant hail, much like Routes 216 and 217, as well as many hardy Pokémon adapted to living in this harsh environment. A cave painting of the lake guardians blocks the way to the upper caverns until Team Galactic is defeated in Galactic HQ, which is in Veilstone City.
Spear Pillar
- Main article: Spear Pillar
Spear Pillar is located on the highest peak of Mt. Coronet, the highest point in Sinnoh. It is home to ruins that have been worn down over time, stated by legend to be the place where Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina were created by Arceus. It is here that Cyrus summons both Dialga and Palkia with the Red Chain, though when their proximity to each other causes an imbalance in the structure of reality, Giratina arrives to whisk Cyrus away to prevent further damage.
If an Azure Flute is obtained from a special Nintendo event, a staircase can be opened on the Spear Pillar to the Hall of Origin where Arceus waits. The battle begins as soon as the player steps onto the platform at the end of the staircase.
Iceberg Ruins
- Main article: Iceberg Ruins
In Platinum, the Iceberg Ruins appear near Mt. Coronet's exit onto Route 216. If the event Regigigas is not with the player, a NeverMeltIce will be found in its cavern instead.
Finding Feebas
Feebas is an elusive find in Mt. Coronet, similar to that of Hoenn Route 119. Instead of fishing in any location as customary with most Pokémon, Feebas is located in only four water blocks within the foggy underground lake leading to Route 216. There is no easy method to determine which block contains Feebas, as the only way is to drop a line into each and every water block in the lake. Finding Feebas here, compared to its Hoenn counterpart, is slightly harder as Feebas is not guaranteed to take the bait even if the right water block is found (due to Magikarp and Barboach, or Gyarados and Whiscash). Also, it must be noted that the locations of the four blocks changes every day (unlike Hoenn which is due to the Trendy Phrase). Once hooked, however, Feebas is an easy catch.

In the anime
Despite needing to be ventured through to arrive in Hearthome City in the games, Ash and his friends were not shown taking this route through the mountain's caves. In Nosing 'Round The Mountain!, a boy asks Ash for a battle near the mountain, however, so that his Nosepass will evolve. In many other episodes, the mountain can be seen in the background scenery.
In Steeling Peace of Mind! and Saving the World From Ruins!, Team Galactic fires a beam from Iron Island at the mountain in an attempt to locate Spear Pillar. Ash battles Mars, defeating her and destroying the machine that created the beam, leaving Team Galactic's scan of the mountain only 60% complete.
Mt. Coronet appeared again in Unlocking the Red Chain of Events! and The Battle Finale of Legend!. Saturn discovered the entryway to the Spear Pillar, and was soon joined by Cyrus, Mars, Jupiter and Charon for the trip inside.
In the manga
In Pokémon Adventures, Mt. Coronet is the destination to which all heirs and heiresses of the Berlitz family head to excavate the materials for the family emblem. Naturally, being the only daughter, Platinum was assigned two bodyguards to ensure her safety when she decided the time was right to embark on her journey. After a mix-up where Diamond and Pearl were mistaken for her bodyguards and helped her overcome the trials of their journey (thinking that it was a reality TV show with Platinum as the guide), the trio first reaches this destination in VS. Probopass and Magnezone, but only the west side available through Eterna City. Once there, they unwittingly come across Cyrus, who was initiating the evolutions of his Nosepass and Magneton, and afterwards, determining that they were defiling the "sacred" site, buries Pearl and Platinum in a Rock Slide.
It is also in Mt. Coronet that the final battle of the Diamond & Pearl chapter takes place much later, as with the games.
Trivia
- Mt. Coronet is the only location in Sinnoh where the elusive Pokémon Feebas can be caught. It only appears in four fishing spots in the basement, which change every day.
- Mt. Coronet emits a special magnetic field. As a result, Magneton and Nosepass can only be evolved into Magnezone and Probopass, respectively, by leveling them up here or in the Chargestone Cave.
- The two Pokémon obtainable by evolving in Mt. Coronet each have three magnetic units, according to the Pokédex - Probopass has three mini-noses, and Magnezone is made up of three units. They also both have the abilities Magnet Pull and Sturdy.
- Whenever the player views a map within Mt. Coronet, whether it's the Town Map or the berry and marking maps on the Pokétch, it will only show what route the player entered Mt. Coronet from.
- The only HM moves not required to fully navigate the caves are Cut and Fly.
Name Origin
Mt. Coronet is named after a coronet, a small crown consisting of ornaments fixed on a metal ring, as the mountain itself is the "crown" of Sinnoh. "Mt. Tengan" may come from 天 ten and 冠 kan, meaning "sky" and "crown" respectively, considering the mountain's connection to Arceus.
