Trophy Garden in Diamond and Pearl

The Trophy Garden is Mr. Backlot's private garden behind the Pokémon Mansion on Route 212, between Hearthome and Pastoria. It is one of the few places in Sinnoh with Pikachu and Pichu, and after you get the National Pokédex, Backlot boasts about a different rare Pokémon each day that then appears in the grass.
