Tips
- Fantina uses Duskull 24, Haunter 24 and Mismagius 26; her Relic Badge lets you use Defog outside battle and she gives you TM65 Shadow Claw.
- The Gym is pitch-dark: find the blue floor tile in each room, remember its mark, and take the red door with the same mark.
- Bebe, in the house next to the Pokémon Center, gives you an Eevee at Lv20 if you have room in your party.
- The Pokémon Fan Club chairman gives you the Poffin Case, and a woman in the Southeast House 2F gives you a Shell Bell.
- Walk a permitted Pokémon around Amity Square to find TM45 Attract, TM43 Secret Power, the Spooky Plate and an Amulet Coin.
- Visit the Contest Hall, where your Mom shows up and gives you an outfit for Contests.

FAQ
Where is Fantina in Pokémon Platinum?
When you first reach Hearthome she is at the Contest Hall; talk to her there and she heads back to the Gym to wait for you.
How do you solve the Hearthome Gym in Platinum?
In each dark room, find the single blue tile and note its mark, then go through the red door with that mark. A wrong door sends you back to the start.
How do you get Eevee in Pokémon Platinum?
Visit Bebe in the house next to Hearthome's Pokémon Center and she gives you a Lv20 Eevee.
Which Pokémon can go into Amity Square?
Only certain small, cute Pokémon are allowed, and the gate staff list them. The list gets longer once you have the National Pokédex.
