Spear Pillar Platinum · Area
Spear Pillar is the ancient ruin at the summit of Mt. Coronet, where Platinum's story reaches its climax. Cyrus uses the Red Chain to summon Dialga and Palkia, but Giratina appears as a shadow, warps the pillars and drags him into the Distortion World, and Cynthia leads you after him. After the Hall of Fame, the elder in Celestic Town shares what the Orbs do: bring the Adamant Orb or Lustrous Orb here to challenge Dialga or Palkia at level 70.

Tips
- Two Galactic Grunts team up against you at the entrance, so bring at least two Pokémon.
- Barry joins you for a double battle against Commander Mars (Purugly 46) and Commander Jupiter (Skuntank 46), then fully heals your team.
- Once the pillars distort, Cynthia waits while you get ready, so heal and reorganize before you follow Cyrus.
- After the Hall of Fame, talk to the elder in Celestic Town's north house to unlock the Dialga and Palkia encounters.
- The Adamant Orb and Lustrous Orb are item balls on Mt. Coronet 4F; carry or hold one when you climb to Spear Pillar.
- Dialga and Palkia are both level 70; if you knock one out, it comes back after your next Hall of Fame entry.
