Snowpoint City Pokémon Diamond and Pearl · Town
Snowpoint City is a small, permanently snowbound city at Sinnoh's northern tip, reached through Acuity Lakefront. Candice's Ice-type Gym, the seventh in DP, is the main draw during the story. After the Hall of Fame its harbor sends ships to the Battle Zone, and with the National Pokédex the Snowpoint Temple to the north opens up, holding the sleeping Regigigas.

Tips
- Fire, Fighting, Rock and Steel moves are strong against Candice's Ice team; the Gym floor is a slippery rink with snowballs to break.
- Return after the Hall of Fame to sail to the Fight Area, and with the National Pokédex to explore Snowpoint Temple.
- Regigigas only wakes if Regirock, Regice and Registeel are all in your party.
- In-game trade in the northwesternmost house: a Medicham for a Haunter nicknamed Gaspar that holds an Everstone.
- An old man in the northeast house teaches one new trendy phrase per day.
- Bicycles can't be ridden in the city; the Icicle Badge enables Rock Climb outside battle.
