Lost Tower Platinum · Area

The Lost Tower is a five-floor memorial tower on Route 209, between Hearthome City and Solaceon Town, where people come to remember their departed Pokémon. A thick fog fills the upper floors, and at the top two old women ask you to clear it with Defog. Fantina is said to be a regular visitor. It is optional, but the trainers are easy and the tower rewards you with TM27 Return and two useful held items.
