Tips
- After the Cobble Badge, team up with Lucas or Dawn in a Multi Battle against two Galactic Grunts.
- HM02 (Fly) is on the Galactic Warehouse’s first floor once you have the Cobble Badge and have beaten the Grunts with Lucas or Dawn. The Storage Key, dropped by a Grunt after the Lake Acuity events, only opens the north room.
- Return with Rock Climb for the Full Incense on the ledge east of the Gym.
- The Game Corner sells Coins for slot machines, and the house beside it swaps Coins for prizes; a man there reveals a Pokémon's Hidden Power type.
- A Massage Girl near the Gym pampers one Pokémon per day to raise friendship and sometimes finds an Accessory.
- The Department Store's 3F TM counter and 2F vitamins/X items make this the best shopping stop in DP.
