Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres

Talk to Professor Rowan, and unlock the National Pokedex. Go to Pal Park, and talk to Professor Oak. Go to Eterna City, and find Professor Oak. He will mention that these birds have been sighted. Marking Map App is needed. All three will be level 60.

Azelf and Uxie

After the encounter in Distortion World, go to Lake Valor and Acutity. Go inside the caverns. Ultra Balls are needed. Each are at level 50.

Cressilia

After defeating the Elite Four and getting the National Pokedex, go to Canalave City. Go inside the sailor’s house, and a boy will be in a bed. He will tell you about Darkness, and his mother will say he needs an item. Go outside to the dock. Talk to the sailor, and catch a ride to Fullmoon Isle. Cressilia will flee and leave behind the item. Catch Cressilia the same way as Mesprit. Cressilia is at level 50.

Croagunk

Use the following trick to tell if Croagunk are in the Safari Zone. If you do not want to waste 100 PokeDollars, poke your head through the Croagunk Picture in Pastoria City. If a Croagunk is in the Safari Zone that day, when you poke your head inside a Croagunk will walk from the trees into the Safari Zone entrance.

Dialga and Palkia

Defeat the Elite Four, and unlock the National Pokedex. Go to Mt. Coronet through Hearthome City, as if you were traveling to Sky Pillar. Go through about three caves, until you find a new entrance. Enter it to find orbs needed to battle Palkia and Dialga. Go to the top of Mt. Coronet to where Team Galactic was previously encountered at Spear Pillar. One of the two legendary Pokemon, Dialga or Palkia, will be there. Catch it, then leave and return to encounter the other one. Ultra Balls are recommended.

Giratina

Meet at Distortion World or Turnback Cave. Giratina is at level 47. A Masterball is recommended.

Heatran

Unlock the Battle Zone, then go to Stark Mountain. Go through the maze, and fight Team Galactic. Return to the Survival Area. Enter the Battleground, and fight the Gym Leaders. Return and enter the same cavern where Team Galactic was found, and Heatran will be there. Heatran is at level 50.

Magikarp

Go to the Resort Area. Talk to the swimmer in the pool by the Ribbon Syndicate. He will say something about a strange happening when you use the Super Rod in the water above the Pokemon Center. If you use it, there may be a wild level 60 or higher Magikarp. It is like a normal wild Pokemon.

Mesprit

After the encounter in Distortion World, go to Lake Verity, and talk to Mesprit inside the center cavern. Mesprit will flee. The Marking Map App will be needed to track Mesprit. Mesprit is at level 50.

Breeding

When you submit two Pokemon to the Pokemon Daycare in Solaceon Town, talk to the bald man directly outside immediately afterwards to see if your Pokemon are compatible. If they are not compatible, he will say something similar to “They prefer to play with other Pokemon”. However, if he says anything else like “The two don’t really seem to like each other that much” or “They are getting along great”, it indicates your Pokemon will breed and have an egg. If you use two that are the same kind of Pokemon, for example, one female Eevee and one male Eevee, they will produce eggs quickly. After you have found out their compatibility, get on your bike, and go south to Hearthome City. As soon as you leave Route 209 and enter that gateway room to Hearthome City, you should have an egg waiting for you. Go back and talk to the bald man outside of the Daycare to get your egg. If you have the Daycare Check-up Poketech app, you will see an egg appear between your two Pokemon as soon as you enter the gateway, most of the time. This works quickly almost every time. If you want to have all forms of Eevee, this is ideal.

Griseous Orb

Successfully complete the game, and return to Sendoff Spring. Cynthia will be gone, and you can enter the cave she was previously blocking. Enter Turnback Cave, and go to the end to find an item and the entrance to the Distortion World. Go through the entrance to find the Griseous Orb. Give it to Giratina, and it can stay in its original form outside Distortion World. Note: You can now catch Giratina in Turnback Cave.

Heart Scales

Go to Solaceon City. Go inside the house next to the Pokemon Center. The man sitting in the chair will ask you for a Pokemon selected randomly from Pokemon you have obtained in you Pokedex. He will give you a special kind of Pokeball and a Heart Scale if you show him the Pokemon before the next day.

Easy Pokemon in mansion

Go to the mansion, and save the game. Talk to Mr. Backlot to find out what type of Pokemon is in the garden that day. If you need it, capture it. If it is not a Pokemon you need, turn off the power, restart the game, and talk to him again. Repeat this until you get all the desired Pokemon. Pokemon that can be found in the garden are Igglybuff, Cleffa, Clefairy, Ditto, Pichu, Meowth, Happiny, Chansey, Bonsly, Mime Jr., Eevee, Azurill, Marill, Plusle, Minun, and Castform.

Secret box wallpapers

Easy Poketch APPs

Egg Moves
