Version discipline
Rows merge only when Diamond and Pearl are identical, and each row carries D/P game markers. Version-exclusive species, mascot encounters, swarms, Radar slots, and GBA insertion slots keep their own labeled rows.
Route Plan
Collect the Good Rod at the west end; clear every trainer and bridge branch; place the Odd Keystone in the ruined tower; enter Lost Tower; climb all five floors; receive Cleanse Tag and HM04 Strength; continue to Solaceon.
- Spiritomb requires an Odd Keystone in Hallowed Tower and 32 qualifying Underground player interactions; vendor NPCs do not count. The same other player can count again after resetting the interaction by leaving and re-entering the Underground.
- Strength is received now but cannot be used in the field until Byron's Mine Badge.

Trainers
Field order follows the map's object-event order. Full teams include explicit held items and moves when trdata defines them; cash rewards use the in-engine final-party-slot level and trainer-class multiplier formula.

Puzzles, Warps, And Switches
- Lost Tower becomes foggier on upper floors, lowering accuracy. Defog is not yet available, so use reliable moves or return later for a cleaner sweep.
- Hallowed Tower has milestone messages at interaction counts; use them to audit progress before expecting Spiritomb.
Boss Strategy And Partners
No Gym Leader, rival branch, Galactic boss, Elite Four member, Champion, story partner, or major postgame battle is assigned here.
Completion Checklist
- Complete the currently reachable part of this route plan: Collect the Good Rod at the west end; clear every trainer and bridge branch; place the Odd Keystone in the ruined tower; enter Lost Tower; climb all five floors; receive Cleanse Tag and HM04 Strength; continue to Solaceon.
- Review all 45 encounter rows across the per-area tables, including game markers, method band, time-of-day rates, levels, and each conditional requirement; mark conditional rows for their stated revisit.
- Defeat or deliberately skip every currently reachable trainer row; leave HM-, story-, or National-Dex-gated rows checked only after their access requirement is met.
- Collect currently reachable visible/scripted items and berry trees, use the Dowsing Machine for reachable hidden rows, and retain every explicitly gated row for the named cleanup visit.
- Resolve every currently available puzzle note, boss branch, and partner scene before opening the next section.
Sources And Validation
pret/pokediamondat commit038cccaed5de8f013875bc5d734f912d1de08e0f:map_header.c, D/P encounter archives,trdata.json, zone events, script archives, item tables, and trainer graphics.- Encounter slots were decoded from exact 424-byte D/P members and cross-checked against Gen IV slot behavior; the 0x6C pair is day, morning uses base slots, and 0x74 is night.
- Coordinates remain visible as QA anchors, while each hidden row also provides a plain-English map-region instruction.
- Generation-wide systems that are not tied to a normal map archive—Honey Trees, Great Marsh daily rolls, Trophy Garden, fossils, Pal Park, and event items—are explicitly curated in their dedicated system pages.
