Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Snowpoint City



'''Snowpoint City is the northernmost city in Sinnoh and home to the seventh gym leader, Candice. Just like its name, it's covered in snow. It has a harbor where a Sailor will take you to some interesting places later on in the game. To its north is the Snowpoint Temple which has a special surprise.'''

Trendy phase
The trendy phase can be gotten once a day from a man in the northeastern most house. The phrase will only add phrases to the easy chat system and won't change any in game mechanics unlike the gen 3 games.

Trading for Haunter
In the northwestern most there is a woman who will trade you a Haunter for a Medicham. This trade isn't worth it since you can obtain a Gastly in the wild and training it to evolve it into a Haunter.

Snowpoint Temple
At the bottom of the Snowpoint Temple is the legendary Regigigas. You won't be able to access the temple until you have the National Dex. Furthermore you can't awaken Regigigas unless you have Regirock, Registeel and Regice whom you can only be obtained in Pal Park which will be opened after you obtain the National Dex. How to catch these 4 Pokémon will be gone over in depth in the page Obtaining the 4 Regis

Icicle badge
Before entering the gym, remember to heal your Pokémon as they are probably beat up from the journey to this gym. It is recommended to bring Fire, Fighting, Electric, Flying, and Grass type Pokémon here.
