Tips

Super Rod fishing on 4F (rooms 1 and 2) catches Dratini (40%) and occasionally Dragonair (5%).
Feebas hides on four random water tiles of the foggy B1F lake; any rod has about a 50% chance to hook it on the right tile.
Chimecho appears on the upper floors, from 1% in 4F Room 3 up to 10% on 6F.
Absol (5%) and Snover live on the snowy outdoor ledges, while Clefairy only shows up in the morning and at night.
Looker gives you the Black Flute on 2F, and the Adamant Orb and Lustrous Orb sit together atop the waterfall in 4F.
TM02 Dragon Claw and TM69 Rock Polish are in 1F North Room 1, and TM80 Rock Slide is on 2F.

How do you get to Spear Pillar in Platinum?

After Team Galactic captures the lake Pokémon, the cave painting on 2F breaks open and you climb through the upper floors to the summit.

Where can you catch Dratini in Platinum?

Use a Super Rod in the water on Mt. Coronet 4F, where Dratini bites 40% of the time.
