[[File:Eterna Forest Pt.png|thumb|370px|Eterna Forest]]

Eterna Forest has a reputation for being a mysterious place, from the abandoned Old Chateau to the strange Moss Rock. Eterna Forest is a long and complex structure of trees that make it a natural maze, of where a lot of people get lost. Eterna Forest is home to many Bug- and Grass-type Pokémon, and is currently the only known place in the Pokémon world to find and catch Buneary.

There are several paths that can be taken to get to each entrance, however the most direct route from southern part of forest to the northern part of the forest can be taken by traveling east from the entry, through the tall grass, directly north to a small gap in the tree that travels east to the south eastern segment. If, however, the western road is taken, the route would lead to an Antidote, and the Moss Rock further north.
 
The next section of the forest is larger than the first, as by traveling south, through the large patch of tall grass, the road lead to four sections of trees that are placed in a two by two pattern that allows the path to travel through the tree, in a similar "+" shape. There are several items scattered around the area, as well a few Trainers that are eager for a battle. By traveling north east, the road will soon lead to a large gap, where the road travels north to the north eastern segment.
 
The third segment turns east where a large square with a dense layer of trees hang in the middle. Simply traveling north through another patch of tall grass will clear the section. To the north is Old Chateau where Cut is need to clear the trees, and to the east is the eastern entry to the forest which has access to eastern Route 205, and Eterna City after that.
 
====[[Cheryl]]====
When the player first enters the forest, Cheryl will be waiting, and ask the player if he or she will accompany her through the forest, fearing Team Galactic's possible interference. After this, all battles in Eterna Forest can be Double Battles (Except for the first Lass and Bug Catcher, which MUST be fought in a Double Battle), including encounters with wild Pokémon. Her company is very useful - after every battle, Cheryl will completely heal the player's party. However, during battles with wild Pokémon a little problem appears: the player can throw a Poké Ball only when there is one Pokémon left, and thus Chansey's Egg Bomb may accidentally knock out the Pokémon the player wants to catch. However if used correctly she can help you raise the levels in your party and is an effective means of raising your weak Pokémon. Once you use the exit in the northern side she'll leave for good. She gives the player a [[Held_item#Soothe_Bell|Soothe Bell]] as a parting gift.

==Route 205 (Part 2)==
In [[Mt. Coronet]], you'll find [[Cyrus]] ranting about perfecting the world before leaving. Collect all the items you can, and simply walk to the other side of this small section of Mt. Coronet, then out of the exit to {{rt|208|Sinnoh}}. You won't be able to do anything important here until much later in the game.
[[image:Route 205 2.png|thumb|270px|The last section of Route 205]]
When you come out of Eterna Forest, all you need to do is walk across the bridge. The Trainers won't battle you unless you talk to them, so just go straight ahead to Eterna City.

Later on after defeating the Eterna Gym and acquired the ability to use {{m|Cut}} outside of battle you can cut the small trees that separate the northern and southern parts of Route 25 and in the small part between them you can find more items.
There are many Trainers to battle on {{rt|208|Sinnoh}}, however, two of them cannot be fought until much later in the game, when you have the necessary HMs. Go across the first section of the bridge, make a quick detour north to grab a Great Ball, then continue east down the stairs, and through the tall grass, and you will be at the entrance of [[Hearthome City]].

Also on this Route is the [[Berry Master#Generation IV|Berry Master's house]]. Each day, he will give you a fresh [[Berry]]. You may also get the Berry Searcher Pokétch app that shows where there are Berries ready to pick. His wife sells [[Mulch]], which affects the growth of Berries.

Once in [[Eterna City]], you will see that Team Galactic has set up another Headquarters. As usual, you must stop them from their evil work.  As you can see, the headquarters is blocked by some small trees, so you cannot access it yet.  You must first go to the Gym, and battle the Gym Leader, Gardenia. Before that head towards the statue and [[Barry]] will join you and as you walk up to the statue you'll see [[Cyrus]] there who will once again make a reference to [[Creation trio|Sinnoh's legends]].  
On arriving at [[Hearthome City]], a lost {{p|Buneary}} will run into you, shortly followed by [[Keira|its Trainer]], who will thank you for catching her Buneary, and suggest that you visit the {{pkmn|Super Contest}} Hall (the large building near the [[Hearthome Gym]]). Once you get there, you'll find her talking to your [[Johanna|mom]]. They will both talk to you about Super Contests and leave. Go to the front desk and talk to the woman dressed in purple. She will reveal herself as [[Fantina]], this city's [[Gym Leader]], and return to the Gym where you will be able to challenge her.


After Barry and Cyrus leave first look carefully around the back of the statue for a hidden [[Plate#Draco Plate|Draco Plate]]. Then as you head back the way you came you'll meet [[Cynthia]] who after mentioning the Sinnoh myths and how it is related to the statue that is in Eterna City, she'll give you a copy of {{HM|01|Cut}}. Also talk to the lady in the [[Pokémon Center]] for an upgrade to your [[Pokétch]] called Friendship Checker which can allow you to use your Pokétch to examine how the specific Pokémon you pick on the app cares about you and makes it easier for using Happiness Evolution or for strengthening the move {{m|Return}}.
After that, you can take a look around the city. Next to the [[Pokémon Center]] is [[Bebe]]'s house, where [[Sinnoh]]'s administrator of the [[Pokémon Storage System|PC box system]] lives. If you talk to her and have a spare slot in your party, she'll hand over an {{p|Eevee}}. If you're into [[Pokémon breeding]], consider saving your game before you receive the Eevee, since there is only a 12.5% chance it will be a female and otherwise, you'll have to wait until you have the National Dex to find a {{p|Ditto}} or another Eevee.


If you need some extra training you can go east to {{rt|211|Sinnoh}}'s west area. See [[Appendix:Platinum walkthrough/Section 14#Route 211|this section]] for more information.

Here are some other places you can check out in Eterna City.
East of the [[Poké Mart]] is the [[Pokémon Fan Club]]. Go inside and talk to the man with the hat inside. After listening to his rambles, he will give you the [[Poffin Case]], which is essential for making [[Poffin]]s. Poffins can be made in the building west of the Poké Mart, known as the [[Poffin House]]. Near the [[Poffin House]] is [[Mr. Goods]]. Although he claims he can't remember who he is or his real name, he has dedicated himself to seeking rarities. He gives [[goods]] to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s once they have met certain requirements. These items can be placed in the Trainer's [[Secret Base]] located in the [[Underground]].


=== Underground Man ===
Next to the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] is the Pokémon Hotel. If you go to the second floor and talk to the woman with the {{p|Clefairy}}, she will give you a [[Shell Bell]], which heals the user by 1/8 of its max HP when it inflicts damage.
Right next to the Pokémon Center is the house of the Underground Man that will give you the Explorer Kit. You can use this daily to travel to the Underground to collect items by digging in the walls, as well as collect other items designed to be used in a game against other players in the Underground. Here is a list of items found by digging in the walls.

While in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} you could only get one of the new fossils in that version, the Skull Fossil in Diamond or the Armor Fossil in Pearl, for Platinum you could one find one of these fossils here just like before. One major difference is that it has to do with the last digit on your Trainer Card (which is accessed in the menu) for this game. If the last digit is odd then you'll be able to obtain the Skull Fossil (for getting {{p|Cranidos}}), but if it is even then you'll get the Armor Fossil (for getting {{p|Shieldon}}) which you can take to the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]] at [[Oreburgh City]] to be revived. The fossils from Generation I and III can only be obtained after getting the [[National Pokédex]].
At the northwest and northeast of the city are the entrances to [[Amity Square]], where you can find some [[Accessory|Accessories]], an [[Amulet Coin]], {{TM|43|Secret Power}}, and {{TM|45|Attract}}, but you'll need to make a trip from each entrance to get all the items. Keep in mind that you'll need a "cute" Pokémon to enter - your first partner Pokémon in any of its evolutionary forms will work. Additionally, each hut contains three teleporters that can warp you to a different hut. To access them, enter the hut but stop on the tile just inside the entrance. Take a step forward, right, or left to access the hidden teleporters. It is the only way to access the area where you can obtain the [[Spooky Plate]]. A chubby man in overalls goes around Amity Square every day. To reach him, players must go through the east gate and use the teleporters. When found, he will give the player five [[Berry|Berries]] or one [[Accessory]].
 
=== [[Eterna Condominiums]] ===
 
{{main|Eterna Condominiums}}
In this building, Sinnoh's [[Name Rater]] can be found, as well as a person named Norton who will trade a {{p|Chatot}} for a {{p|Buizel}}, and yet another who will give away {{TM|67|Recycle}}.

=== [[Herb Shop]] ===
 
{{main|Herb Shop}}
The [[Herb Shop]] is a shop that sells effective, yet inexpensive herbs. A lady runs it. You can buy many things such as full revives.
 
The prices of the herbs, in the herb shop, are:

=== [[Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop]] ===
 
{{main|Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop}}
This Bicycle Shop is a store where [[Bicycle]]s are sold. However, you can not purchase a bike from the store. Once you rescue the owner of the store from the Galactic Eterna Building, he will give you one as a gift for rescuing him. You can talk to him for him to read the manual for the bike to you.
 
=== Oak's House ===
 
After you completed the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Dex]] and get the National Pokédex, you can go to Oak's house, or the house where he is staying for a while. When you talk to him, he will tell you that {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} are roaming [[Sinnoh]]. After that, the trio will appear around Sinnoh, but rarely.


===[[Eterna Gym|Eterna City Gym]]===
==Hearthome Gym==
Once inside the Gym, you must battle three Trainers, until you can battle Gardenia. While this puzzle is similar to that in Diamond and Pearl the main difference is that is that there is a giant Floral clock within the gym that changes directions each time you beat a gym trainer that will take you to where the next one is as well as two fountains in case you need to leave the gym to heal so you could return to where the two leaves from the clock had stopped and be able to continue on.
[[File:Hearthome Gym Pt.png|thumb|right|275px|Hearthome City Gym]]
Once you're done exploring the town, head to the [[Hearthome Gym]], located in the northeast corner of the city. The Gym leader, [[Fantina]], uses {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, which are weak to {{t|Dark}}- and {{t|Ghost}}-type moves. Ghost-types are also immune to {{t|Normal}}- and {{t|Fighting}}-type moves, but Normal-type Pokémon are immune to Ghost-type moves in return. The gym's structure is two darkened rooms each with a maze of {{p|Duskull}} lamps. Although you're given a flashlight at the entrance, it's still easy to see everything on the screen. The goal of the puzzle is to find a blue tile, note down the shape on it, then go to the door that has the same pattern. If you pick the wrong door, you'll find yourself back at the beginning (note that if you leave the gym and reenter, the symbol on the blue tile is randomized, so it probably won't be the same). After the second maze, you'll find Fantina - challenge her to a battle to earn the {{badge|Relic}}.

First she will send out her Turtwig, which will use moves like Sunny Day and Reflect to help set up the rest of her Pokémon, but Sunny Day also powers up fire type moves, which you can use to your advantage. She will then send out her Cherrim. If Turtwig had a Chance to set up Sunny Day, it will be twice as powerful because of it's Flower Gift ability. It will also be in it's [[Form differences#Cherrim|Sunshine Form]]. After that she will send out her highest levelled Pokémon, Roserade. Roserade has a lot of powerful moves, and it also has Stun Spore, a move that can [[Paralysis|Paralyse]] you, cutting down your speed by a quarter, and you will be unable to attack 25% of the time.
Typically of Ghost-types, Fantina's Pokémon are all pain to deal with, particularly her {{p|Mismagius}}. If you chose {{p|Turtwig}} as your first partner Pokémon or have added a {{p|Shinx}} to your team, their jaws should be able to {{m|Bite}} through Fantina's team with little problem. Her {{p|Duskull}} has high defense stats and may take a few hits to take down. It has {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} to [[burn]] and halve the Attack stat of an affected Pokémon, making it lose 1/8 of its HP each turn. Apply [[Burn Heal]]s right away. It also has {{m|Pursuit}} and {{m|Shadow Sneak}}, Pursuit doing more damage if you try to [[Recall|switch out]] and Shadow Sneak [[Priority|always going first]], like {{m|Quick Attack}}. {{m|Future Sight}} will do damage to any Pokémon, regardless of type, after two turns. Do not forget Future Sight, as it could take you out just as you think you're winning and have low HP. Contrary to her Duskull, her {{p|Haunter}} has very high Special Attack and Speed, but has no Special based attacks, and has quite low defenses. It has {{m|Shadow Claw}}, a Ghost-type attack with a high critical hit ratio, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}, which will strike before you for 80 power, but only works if you are attacking that turn. Like Duskull, Haunter's role is annoyance, and it will disrupt you with {{m|Confuse Ray}} before going in for {{m|Hypnosis}} to set you up for Fantina's Mismagius. Mismagius comes packing the powerful move {{m|Shadow Ball}}, a Ghost-type attack that synergises with Mismagius' high Sp. Atk. Not good! It also has {{m|Psybeam}} and {{m|Magical Leaf}} backing it up, with Confuse Ray to disrupt as well. {{p|Staravia}} would do well here as it is immune to Shadow Ball and its typing halves the damage from Magical Leaf.
Once you beat her you will get the {{Badge|Forest}}, {{TM|86|Grass Knot}}, and the ability to use {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Now, you may enter the Galactic Headquarters but first let's make a pitstop to the Old Chateau.


==Old Chateau==
Once Fantina is defeated, she gives you the Relic Badge and {{tm|65|Shadow Claw}}. You can also use {{m|Defog}} outside of battle, which will come in handy later on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}.
[[File:Old Chateau1.png|thumb|right|200px|Inside the Old Chateau]]
 
{| class="expandable" align="center" style="background: #{{platinum color}}; {{roundy}}; border: 5px solid #{{platinum color light}};"
==Route 209==
Having earned your Relic Badge, you've now done everything there is to do in Hearthome. It's time to move east to {{rt|209|Sinnoh}}, however before leaving, consider purchasing [[Great Ball]]s from the [[Poké Mart]] - they have a 50% higher catch rate than regular Poké Balls. Make sure your team is fully healed, because as you enter the Gate that separates Hearthome City from Route 209, you'll encounter {{ga|Barry}}, who will challenge you to another battle.

This time around he'll have two new Pokémon that represent the types of the [[first partner Pokémon]] that he didn't pick at the beginning of the game. Additionally, both his first partner Pokémon and his {{p|Starly}} have evolved into their second forms. He shouldn't be that tough if you have a well leveled team, since your selection of Pokémon is much greater than it was last time.

Now that you have Cut, you can head to the Old Chateau which is located in the northern part of the Eterna Forest. You will find Gardenia around the entrance who, when you talk to her, appears too scared to go in due to the ghosts before leaving. While the inside is a bit of the maze, you can explore it to find some items. The thing that needs to be done is to use the stairs to head to the second floor and use the door to the back to reach a room with multiple doors.
From the entrance, go east, then north to travel directly to [[Solaceon Town]], collecting any items that are of interest to you. On this route, there is the Broken Tower, which becomes the [[Hallowed Tower]] when an [[Odd Keystone]] (available from a Black Belt on {{rt|208|Sinnoh}}, hidden in [[Twinleaf Town]], or mineable in the [[Underground]]) is placed in it. After speaking to 32 people in the Underground, a [[level]] 25 {{p|Spiritomb}} will appear to battle you. You will pass the [[Lost Tower]] near the end of the route, but you will need to get {{hm|05|Defog}} first for dealing with the [[fog]] on the higher floors. Fortunately, HM05 is available not far from here, so pass it by for now. Follow the path north to reach [[Solaceon Town]].
 
[[File:Old Chateau 2F.png|thumb|left|600px]]
 
From here use the first door to your left to reach a room with a TV. During the Nighttime hours, 8:00 PM to 3:59 AM, a Pokémon named {{p|Rotom}} can be found here which is hidden in the TV. Unlike Diamond and Pearl where you could find it post-National Dex, here you can find right now due to it being part of the expanded Sinnoh Dex. Since there is no trainer that uses Rotom, you will need to face it here at some point for it to be count as seen and be able to complete your Sinnoh Dex to get the National Pokédex. It is at Lv. 20 and it is not that tough and unless if you want till wait to later to get some better Poké Balls to catch it then you'll need to buy some [[Poké Ball#Nest Ball|Nest Balls]] at the Eterna City [[Poké Mart]] to stand a chance of catching it once it has been weakened enough. Just remember to save before facing it as you only get one chance.

Mt. Coronet (south)

Mt. Coronet

In Mt. Coronet, you'll find Cyrus ranting about perfecting the world before leaving. Collect all the items you can, and simply walk to the other side of this small section of Mt. Coronet, then out of the exit to Route 208. You won't be able to do anything important here until much later in the game.

Route 208

Route 208

There are many Trainers to battle on Route 208, however, two of them cannot be fought until much later in the game, when you have the necessary HMs. Go across the first section of the bridge, make a quick detour north to grab a Great Ball, then continue east down the stairs, and through the tall grass, and you will be at the entrance of Hearthome City.

Also on this Route is the Berry Master's house. Each day, he will give you a fresh Berry. You may also get the Berry Searcher Pokétch app that shows where there are Berries ready to pick. His wife sells Mulch, which affects the growth of Berries.

Hearthome City

Hearthome City

On arriving at Hearthome City, a lost Buneary will run into you, shortly followed by its Trainer, who will thank you for catching her Buneary, and suggest that you visit the Super Contest Hall (the large building near the Hearthome Gym). Once you get there, you'll find her talking to your mom. They will both talk to you about Super Contests and leave. Go to the front desk and talk to the woman dressed in purple. She will reveal herself as Fantina, this city's Gym Leader, and return to the Gym where you will be able to challenge her.

After that, you can take a look around the city. Next to the Pokémon Center is Bebe's house, where Sinnoh's administrator of the PC box system lives. If you talk to her and have a spare slot in your party, she'll hand over an Eevee. If you're into Pokémon breeding, consider saving your game before you receive the Eevee, since there is only a 12.5% chance it will be a female and otherwise, you'll have to wait until you have the National Dex to find a Ditto or another Eevee.

A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.

East of the Poké Mart is the Pokémon Fan Club. Go inside and talk to the man with the hat inside. After listening to his rambles, he will give you the Poffin Case, which is essential for making Poffins. Poffins can be made in the building west of the Poké Mart, known as the Poffin House. Near the Poffin House is Mr. Goods. Although he claims he can't remember who he is or his real name, he has dedicated himself to seeking rarities. He gives goods to Trainers once they have met certain requirements. These items can be placed in the Trainer's Secret Base located in the Underground.

Next to the Pokémon Fan Club is the Pokémon Hotel. If you go to the second floor and talk to the woman with the Clefairy, she will give you a Shell Bell, which heals the user by 1/8 of its max HP when it inflicts damage.

Amity Square

Amity Square

At the northwest and northeast of the city are the entrances to Amity Square, where you can find some Accessories, an Amulet Coin, TM43 (Secret Power), and TM45 (Attract), but you'll need to make a trip from each entrance to get all the items. Keep in mind that you'll need a "cute" Pokémon to enter - your first partner Pokémon in any of its evolutionary forms will work. Additionally, each hut contains three teleporters that can warp you to a different hut. To access them, enter the hut but stop on the tile just inside the entrance. Take a step forward, right, or left to access the hidden teleporters. It is the only way to access the area where you can obtain the Spooky Plate. A chubby man in overalls goes around Amity Square every day. To reach him, players must go through the east gate and use the teleporters. When found, he will give the player five Berries or one Accessory.

Hearthome Gym

Hearthome City Gym

Once you're done exploring the town, head to the Hearthome Gym, located in the northeast corner of the city. The Gym leader, Fantina, uses Ghost-type Pokémon, which are weak to Dark- and Ghost-type moves. Ghost-types are also immune to Normal- and Fighting-type moves, but Normal-type Pokémon are immune to Ghost-type moves in return. The gym's structure is two darkened rooms each with a maze of Duskull lamps. Although you're given a flashlight at the entrance, it's still easy to see everything on the screen. The goal of the puzzle is to find a blue tile, note down the shape on it, then go to the door that has the same pattern. If you pick the wrong door, you'll find yourself back at the beginning (note that if you leave the gym and reenter, the symbol on the blue tile is randomized, so it probably won't be the same). After the second maze, you'll find Fantina - challenge her to a battle to earn the Relic Badge.

Hearthome Gym
The Relic Badge


Typically of Ghost-types, Fantina's Pokémon are all pain to deal with, particularly her Mismagius. If you chose Turtwig as your first partner Pokémon or have added a Shinx to your team, their jaws should be able to Bite through Fantina's team with little problem. Her Duskull has high defense stats and may take a few hits to take down. It has Will-O-Wisp to burn and halve the Attack stat of an affected Pokémon, making it lose 1/8 of its HP each turn. Apply Burn Heals right away. It also has Pursuit and Shadow Sneak, Pursuit doing more damage if you try to switch out and Shadow Sneak always going first, like Quick Attack. Future Sight will do damage to any Pokémon, regardless of type, after two turns. Do not forget Future Sight, as it could take you out just as you think you're winning and have low HP. Contrary to her Duskull, her Haunter has very high Special Attack and Speed, but has no Special based attacks, and has quite low defenses. It has Shadow Claw, a Ghost-type attack with a high critical hit ratio, and Sucker Punch, which will strike before you for 80 power, but only works if you are attacking that turn. Like Duskull, Haunter's role is annoyance, and it will disrupt you with Confuse Ray before going in for Hypnosis to set you up for Fantina's Mismagius. Mismagius comes packing the powerful move Shadow Ball, a Ghost-type attack that synergises with Mismagius' high Sp. Atk. Not good! It also has Psybeam and Magical Leaf backing it up, with Confuse Ray to disrupt as well. Staravia would do well here as it is immune to Shadow Ball and its typing halves the damage from Magical Leaf.

Once Fantina is defeated, she gives you the Relic Badge and TM65 (Shadow Claw). You can also use Defog outside of battle, which will come in handy later on Route 210.

Route 209

Having earned your Relic Badge, you've now done everything there is to do in Hearthome. It's time to move east to Route 209, however before leaving, consider purchasing Great Balls from the Poké Mart - they have a 50% higher catch rate than regular Poké Balls. Make sure your team is fully healed, because as you enter the Gate that separates Hearthome City from Route 209, you'll encounter Barry, who will challenge you to another battle.

Turtwig (Pokémon) If the player chose Turtwig: Chimchar (Pokémon) If the player chose Chimchar: Piplup (Pokémon) If the player chose Piplup:






This time around he'll have two new Pokémon that represent the types of the first partner Pokémon that he didn't pick at the beginning of the game. Additionally, both his first partner Pokémon and his Starly have evolved into their second forms. He shouldn't be that tough if you have a well leveled team, since your selection of Pokémon is much greater than it was last time.

Route 209

From the entrance, go east, then north to travel directly to Solaceon Town, collecting any items that are of interest to you. On this route, there is the Broken Tower, which becomes the Hallowed Tower when an Odd Keystone (available from a Black Belt on Route 208, hidden in Twinleaf Town, or mineable in the Underground) is placed in it. After speaking to 32 people in the Underground, a level 25 Spiritomb will appear to battle you. You will pass the Lost Tower near the end of the route, but you will need to get HM05 (Defog) first for dealing with the fog on the higher floors. Fortunately, HM05 is available not far from here, so pass it by for now. Follow the path north to reach Solaceon Town.
