Pal Park Pokémon Diamond and Pearl · Caves & landmark
Pal Park is a Pokémon preserve at the east end of Route 221 in south-west Sinnoh, opened after you obtain the National Pokédex. It lets you migrate Pokémon from the Game Boy Advance games: six per day are released into the park and must be recaptured in a timed Catching Show with Park Balls.

- Score highly in the Catching Show (fast catches with varied types) to earn rarer Berries from the Park Ranger.
- Pal Park is the only DP source of species such as the legendary birds, the Regi trio and Tropius.
- Only six Pokémon can be migrated per save file every 24 hours, and they can never return to the GBA game.
- Show score = catching points + time points + type points; your rival Barry holds the default high score of 2000.
- The park has Field, Forest, Pond, Mountain and Sea areas.
