Galactic HQ Platinum · Area
Team Galactic HQ is the Galactic Veilstone Building in Veilstone City, the team's research base and Cyrus's headquarters. In Platinum you storm it after Team Galactic captures Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf at the three lakes. You find the Galactic Key inside to open its locked doors, battle Cyrus on 4F, who hands you a Master Ball and leaves for Mt. Coronet, then beat Commander Saturn in the Control Room and press the button that sets the lake Pokémon free.

Tips
- Pick up the Galactic Key from an item ball on B2F; it opens the locked security doors around the building.
- Cyrus battles you on 4F with Sneasel 44, Crobat 44 and Honchkrow 46, and gives you the Master Ball when you win.
- Commander Saturn waits in the Control Room with Golbat 42, Bronzor 42 and Toxicroak 44; a Psychic move hits Toxicroak for four times damage.
- Grab TM49 Snatch and the Dubious Disc on 1F, TM21 Frustration on 3F and TM36 Sludge Bomb on B2F.
- Search for hidden items: a Rare Candy and a Nugget on 3F and a Razor Claw on 4F.
- The building is linked by warp panels, and the green panel always takes you back to the ground floor.
- There are no wild Pokémon here, only Galactic Grunts and Scientists in the Lv37–42 range.
