Pokémon League Platinum · Town

The Pokémon League is home to Sinnoh's Elite Four and Champion, at the end of Route 223 north of Sunyshore City. You arrive at the South Pokémon Center, cross Victory Road, and come out at the North Pokémon Center in front of the League building, where Barry demands one last battle. Inside, you face Aaron, Bertha, Flint and Lucian in a row, then Champion Cynthia. Route 224 opens up later in the post-game.

Tips
- The Elite Four use Bug (Aaron), Ground (Bertha), Fire (Flint) and Psychic (Lucian) Pokémon; if you lose, you start again from the first member.
- Cynthia's team is Spiritomb 58, Roserade 58, Milotic 58, Togekiss 60, Lucario 60 and Garchomp 62, so bring Ice-type moves for Garchomp.
- Barry's last battle is a Lv47–51 team that includes Snorlax, so heal up before talking to him.
- Both Pokémon Centers sell Heal, Net, Nest, Dusk, Quick, Timer, Repeat and Luxury Balls.
- After you finish the events at Stark Mountain, the Elite Four and Cynthia fight with stronger rematch teams.
- With the Super Rod, fish for Luvdisc 15% alongside Octillery and Gyarados, and look for the hidden Sky Plate.
