The procedure is as follows. The player must take the Odd Keystone to the broken-down tower on {{rt|209|Sinnoh}} and place it there. After this, the player must go underground and talk to 32 other players, and after having returned to the surface, Spiritomb will appear the next time they inspect the Hallowed Tower.
The '''Odd Keystone''' (Japanese: '''かなめいし''' ''Keystone'') is a type of [[item]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Odd Keystones act like containers, capable of trapping and binding {{p|Spiritomb}} inside themselves. All Spiritomb use them as a base.


Though the technical requirement is to talk to 32 people, the player needs only to talk to one person 32 times, either leaving the Underground after each time or entering and exiting their Secret Base using the "close door and decorate" function, for it to count separately for both players.

In the Generation V games, the Odd Keystone can be sold to the ore maniac inside the Icirrus City Pokémon Center for $3000.

Effect

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, an Odd Keystone can be placed in the Hallowed Tower, which is located on Route 209 in the Sinnoh region. This item has no use in other regions.

If the player talks to 32 or more other players in the Sinnoh Underground after placing the Odd Keystone, a wild Spiritomb will be encountered the next time the player inspects the Hallowed Tower. While in theory it is necessary to talk to 32 different players, in practice another player can be counted twice as long as the player themselves leaves the Underground or enters their Secret Base using the "close door and decorate" function between the interactions; this potentially allows a player to encounter Spiritomb by interacting with the same player 32 times.

Once placed in Hallowed Tower, the player can check the Odd Keystone to track their progress. The message gradually changes as the player interacts with more players in the Underground.
