In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, they can be found by digging in the [[Sinnoh]] [[The Underground|Underground]], and one can be found with the {{DL|Pokétch|Dowsing Machine}} in [[Twinleaf Town]]. A {{OBP|Black Belt|Trainer class}} just west of [[Hearthome City]] hands one to the player, indicating not to ask questions about it, before describing the procedure to summon {{p|Spiritomb}}.

In the [[Generation V]] games, the Odd Keystone can be sold to the {{DL|Item maniac|ore maniac}} inside the [[Icirrus City]] [[Pokémon Center]] for {{PDollar}}3000.


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.
===Effect===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, an Odd Keystone can be placed in the [[Hallowed Tower]], which is located on {{rt|209|Sinnoh}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. This item has no use in other regions.


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.
If the player talks to 32 or more other players in the [[The Underground|Sinnoh Underground]] after placing the Odd Keystone, a wild {{p|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 every now and then to get an idea of their progress towards unlocking Spiritomb. Progress is indicated by gradually changing responses from checking the Keystone; the responses change as the player talks to more people Underground.
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.


In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|4=2}}, it can be obtained from one specific antique shop variant in [[Join Avenue]]. To obtain in any other game, the Odd Keystone must be [[trade]]d from within said game's respective [[generation]].

N/A $1050

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.
