What to Do After Finishing the Game? 

Once you have registered in the Hall of Fame and the ending cutscene is over, you find yourself back at your mom’s house. She tells you how to continue your adventure! 

Head to Snowpoint City and board the boat there to reach the Battle Zone.

 

 

The Battle Zone

 

You arrive in the Battle Zone, where your friend/rival is already waiting. They say there is a treasure deep inside the volcano of the Battle Zone! To gain access to Route 225, your Sinnoh Pokédex must be complete.

In the Battle Zone you will find the Battle Park, where Trainers can train. 

 

Battle Park 

 

On your first visit, you will receive a Point Card. The Battle Park lets Trainers face off through two main facilities:

  • the Exchange Service Corner
  • the Battle Tower

 

The Exchange Service Corner is located in the castle-like building, where you can trade Battle Points (BP) for items.

  

The Battle Tower is at the back of the Battle Park. It has two types of rooms for two different kinds of battles: Single Battle rooms and Double Battle rooms. Both are also available in an Expert Class version, where opponents have high levels and you rank up every 7 consecutive victories! In the Battle Tower, if your Pokémon’s level is above 50, it will be brought down to 50. If it is below 50, it stays the same. You cannot have several Pokémon hold the same item at once.

 

Once inside, pick up:

  • a Razor Fang

When you are outside, pass between the two entrances of the Exchange Service Corner to reach the Battle Tower. 

Go back to Sandgem Town, where Dawn/Lucas will tell you that the elder of Celestic Town wants to show you something. She will show you an ancient book telling the story of Palkia (or Dialga, depending on your version, if you have Shining Pearl). 

 

 

For what comes next, you will need to have completed the Sinnoh Pokédex, filled out in full! Once that is done, go back to see Professor Rowan to get the National Pokédex and gain access to Route 225 and other paths in the Battle Zone.  It will also give you access to Ramanas Park and, as a result, to many Legendary Pokémon.

 

Once your National Pokédex is also complete, head to a house on the Valor Lakefront, where an NPC will give you the Shiny Charm, a useful item for hunting Shiny Pokémon! 

And that’s it! Your adventure is over… for now! To be continued…
