Eterna City Pokémon Diamond and Pearl · Town
Eterna City is an old, history-rich town in northern-central Sinnoh, east of Eterna Forest, famous for its ancient statue of Dialga (Diamond) or Palkia (Pearl). It hosts Gardenia's Grass-type Gym, and Team Galactic runs a building here where they hold the Cycle Shop owner's Clefairy; clearing it out earns you a free Bicycle.

- Visit the Underground Man next to the Pokémon Center for the Explorer Kit and a long chain of Underground rewards.
- Come back with Surf for a hidden PP Up in the far north-east corner, and check behind the statue for the hidden Draco Plate.
- The Herb Shop sells cheap but bitter herbal medicines that lower friendship.
- The Eterna Condominiums have the Name Rater and an in-game trade of Chatot for Buizel.
- A man in the house south of the statue recites old inscriptions about Dialga and Palkia.
