Platinum Pokétch apps and useful services
Use the Dowsing Machine, Marking Map, Day Care checker and Sinnoh’s supporting services.
Original Nintendo DS release; not Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl.
Collect the Jubilife coupons
Talk to the three clowns and bring their coupons to obtain the Pokétch. New apps arrive through conversations, progress and particular tasks; owning the watch does not unlock every app at once.
Useful collection apps
| App | Purpose |
|---|---|

Services worth revisiting
Use the Pastoria Reminder, Canalave Deleter, Solaceon Day Care, Oreburgh fossil revival, Veilstone shops and massages. Each answers a different problem; the item and species browsers link the relevant requirements.
Check the actual requirement
The apps supply information, not a substitute for badges or story flags. Use the daily event guide when an activity is absent from the current day’s rotation.
These references cover the original Nintendo DS Platinum. Check story progress, time of day and special access requirements beside each entry.
