Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Mt. Coronet south

'''Mt. Coronet is a long range of mountains that divide the Sinnoh region in half. Most of it is a deep cave, though there are several above-ground areas. The name is a reference to the word corona. This time, Team Galactic has headed up here to accomplish their goal of creating a new world. Of course, you have to stop them.'''

The mountain's peak is the Spear Pillar, where Dialga or Palkia are awakened, and where the Hall of Origin is reached.

Before coming here, make sure your Pokémon are fully healed. Stock up on Moomoo Milks, Lemonades, and Ice Heals as the journey is going to be long and you will encounter another Blizzard which makes it hail and any non ice Pokémon will be hurt by it in battles.

Also you will be fighting and catching the game's box cover Legendary Pokémon, Dialga in Diamond and Palkia in Pearl, so bring a Pokemon that knows a sleep inducing move. In Diamond bring at least 40 Ultra Balls and in Pearl bring 40 Net Balls which can be bought in Hearthome City, Etetna City and Solaceon Town. If you are catching the Legendary Pokémon at night then you can bring 40 Dusk Balls which can bought in Pastoria City and Snowpoint City

Also the wild Pokémon in the upper floors are all above level 40 so make sure your team can beat them or bring Repels(not recommended since you need the xp)

When you are ready fly to Hearthome City and exit to the east and go onto Route 208

Cyrus uses the Red Chain to pry open a portal to another dimension and summons Dialga (Diamond) or Palkia (Pearl) to use their power. Dialga or Palkia then starts using their power and starts to destroy the world. Cyrus then says that this world cant be molded into the world that he wants so he must destroy it to create a new one where he is the ruler/deity of it.

Before you move forward further, double check that you have the right order for your Pokémon as you will face Commanders Mars and Jupiter then Cyrus right after with no break in between

After the cutscenes go forward and Mars a will challenge you to get her revenge and then Jupiter says she will be next. Barry shows up and says to not start the party without him so the battle becomes a Multi Battle with Barry versus the two commanders.

Barry now has a full team of 6 Pokémon. He starts out with Munchlax who knows Screech and Body Slam which is actually a good combo. Barry's starter Pokémon is also fully evolved finally.

Both commanders have Bronzor which can easily be beaten by Fire Type moves or if you want your beginning Pokémon to stay in line with Cyrus' battle then use a Luxray that knows Crunch(one of the best Dark Type moves). They also both have Golbat which you can beat with an Ice Type Pokémon that knows Blizzard, can hit both Golbats in the same attack phase. Their last Pokémon can be a little tricky and it depends on what Pokémon Barry sends out next. If he sends out Staraptor then send out a Ground type that knows Earthquake to kill the Skuntank first. If he sends out any other Pokémon then send out a Fighting Type to take out Purugly first.

Commander battles

After you beat them, Barry will heal your Pokémon and say that its your show now.

Dialga/Palkia starts to create a new galaxy but Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf come and stop it, breaking the Red Chain in the process. Cyrus says be will capture the Lake Guardians again to make a new Red Chain then tries to take his vengeance out on you by battling you.

Galactic Boss Cyrus battle

After you beat Cyrus he questions what your ultimate is and says that he is not giving up and he will come back. Aftet that Lucas/Dawn and Professor Rowan come and Rowan tells you that he doesn't know if Dialga/Palkia is mad or upset but its waiting to challenge you. Lucas/Dawn says that he ran into Barry who said he entrusted you to help the Legendary Pokémon and Lucas now entrusts you as well. Save, heal your Pokémon and get in a battle with Dialga or Palkia.

Legendary Pokémon battle
Don't waste your Master Ball on catching Dialga/Palkia as they have a high catch rate!

Dialga is a level 47 Steel/Dragon type Pokémon that knows Metal Claw, AncientPower, Dragon Claw and Roar of Time. Roar of Time is the Hyper Beam of Dragon type moves as Dialga needs a turn to recharge after it and its very powerful. AncientPower has the chance to increase all of Dialga's stats. Due to Dialga being part Dragon its resistant to elemental types such as Fire, Water, Electric, and Grass and since its also part Steel, its resistant to Ice as well which makes Dialga weak to Fighting, Ground, and Dragon type moves only.

First cause paralysis or sleep, then get its HP low and use False Swipe to get it to 1 HP. Throw Ultra Balls or Dusk Balls if battling at night until you catch Dialga.

Palkia is a level 47 Water/Dragon type Pokémon that knows Water Pulse, AncientPower, Dragon Claw and Spacial Rend. Water Pulse has a chance to confuse your Pokémon. AncientPower has a chance to increase all of Palkia's stats. Spacial Rend has high chance to crit hit you. Palkia is only weak to Dragon type moves since its resistant to Electric, Water, Fire, Grass and Ice.

First cause paralysis or sleep, then get its HP low and use False Swipe to get it to 1 HP. Throw Ultra/Net Balls or Dusk Balls if battling at night until you catch Palkia.

After you catch/defeat Dialga/Palkia go past where it stood to get an item that increases the power of your legendary's moves. You can leave via an Escape Rope or going through 1F 2. If you go through 1F 2 and reach 1F 1 then there is a hidden Hyper Potion on a rock and TM02

Items

 * Adamant Orb(Diamond only) - in the back
 * Lustrous Orb(Pearl only) - in the back

Celestic Town
Go to speak to Cynthia's Grandmother who will tell you a story about the other games Legendary Pokémon. This story will mark it as seen in your Pokédex which is needed for obtaining the National Dex later on.

Team Galactic remnants
Head to Team Galactics HQ in Veilstone City and you will out that Commander Saturn was left in charge of the team's operations. He decides that extremism is never the solution and Cyrus fooled everyone about it. Team Galactic isn't a threat anymore after this.

Catching the Lake Guardians
You can now catch the 3 Lake Guardians at the their respective lakes.

All of them are lvl 50 pure Psychic types so using a Dark, Ghost or Bug type Pokémon will do you wonders in these fights. You can use Dusk Balls for Uzue and Azelf as they are in caves and you can use Ultra Balls for Mesprit as it is out in the open.

Mesprit


Mesprit can be found in the Verity Cavern which is in the middle of Lake Verity. Once you interact with it, it will roam off and be a roaming Pokémon. You can use the Marking Map Pokétch app to find Mesprit but beware that if you fly to its location it will move elsewhere. The best place to catch it is on Route 205 and Valley Windworks as you can enter and exit both of these spots fairly easy.

It's also best to catch Mesprit now as there will be another roaming Pokémon later on in the game.

Uxie


Uxie can be found in Acuity Cavern which is in the middle of Lake Acuity. When you interact with it, you will battle it. Paralyze it or make it go to sleep then get it to red HP then start throwing Dusk Balls to capture it.

Azelf


Azelf can be found in Valor Cavern which is in the middle of Lake Valor. When you interact with it, you will battle it. Paralyze it or make it go to sleep then get it to red HP then start throwing Dusk Balls to capture it.

After you catch Azelf head to the east side of Hotel Grand Lake to see that you can finally go on Route 222 to get to Sunnyshore City.
