Tips
- Trade a Finneon to the Meister for his Magikarp (Foppa, holding a Lum Berry); this unlocks the foreign-language Pokédex entries feature.
- Rock Climb is needed for most items, including TM53 (Energy Ball) and the Lagging Tail.
- The Meister's trade enables foreign Pokédex entries, though in Diamond and Pearl only some species have them.
