Spiritomb in Pokémon Platinum: locations, stats and moves
Find Spiritomb’s Platinum locations, Generation IV Ghost/Dark typing, base stats, original abilities, evolution requirements and exact Platinum moves.
Original Nintendo DS release; not Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl.
Generation IV identity and base stats
Spiritomb is Sinnoh #108 and National #442. Its Platinum typing is Ghost / Dark. The stats below describe its standard Platinum form on the original Nintendo DS cartridge. Later Fairy typing, stat buffs and Hidden Abilities are excluded.
The existing Platinum sprite shows its standard Platinum form; gender, cloak or alternate forms can have different appearances.

| Stat | Base value |
|---|---|
| HP | 50 |
| Attack | 92 |
| Defense | 108 |
| Sp. Atk | 92 |
| Sp. Def | 108 |
| Speed | 35 |
| Total | 485 |
Where to obtain it in Platinum
Place an Odd Keystone in Route 209’s Hallowed Tower and speak to 32 Underground player contacts. Hiker NPCs do not count. The same partner can be reused by leaving and re-entering the Underground between contacts.
These records are filtered to Platinum. Time, Poké Radar, swarm, GBA insertion, daily and story conditions remain separate. Postgame areas require their story access; no listed area is promised to be open on a fresh save.
Encounter methods · Legendaries, gifts and historical requirements · Sinnoh map and routes
| Location / area | Method | Level | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Route 209 | Stationary interaction | 25 | Item Odd Keystone; Speak to 32 Underground player contacts; Hiker NPCs do not count; Other players, rather than Hiker NPCs |
Evolution family and Generation IV requirements
Spiritomb has no evolution within Platinum’s regional roster. Form changes and evolutions added in later generations do not create a new Platinum evolution.
Original abilities, breeding and training
| Ability | Original slot |
|---|---|
| Pressure | Regular ability slot 1 |
Hidden Abilities did not exist in Generation IV. The table restores original ability slots where a species changed in later games; an ability’s modern behavior must not be assumed to match Platinum.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Gender ratio | 50% female / 50% male |
| Egg group(s) | Amorphous |
| Base hatch cycles | 30 |
| Experience growth | Medium Fast |
| Base capture rate | 100 / 255 (not a percentage chance) |
| EV yield when defeated | Defense +1, Special Defense +1 |
The Solaceon Town Day Care supports breeding before the League. Undiscovered species cannot produce Eggs. Some baby forms require the matching incense on a parent, while trade evolutions still need the trade rather than only a Day Care level.

Platinum TMs are single-use: teaching one consumes that copy. HMs are reusable and require the Move Deleter to be forgotten. Defog is HM05 and Rock Climb is HM08; these are the Generation IV field moves, with their own badge requirements.

Recorded Platinum Egg moves: Destiny Bond, Grudge, Imprison, Pain Split, Shadow Sneak, Smokescreen.
Recorded Platinum tutor compatibility: Icy Wind, Ominous Wind, Snore, Spite, Sucker Punch, Trick, Uproar.
