Scout rentals, trade after wins, and beat Thorton at battles 21 and 49. Every table on this page is joined to the named Platinum map, encounter, trainer, item, and script data; Diamond/Pearl rows are not substituted.
Source maps
Battle Factory.
Platinum discipline
Morning, day, night, daily, Radar, swarm, dual-slot, static, gift, and event rows remain distinct when their requirements differ.
Route Plan
Select three rentals from the offered six, learn opposing sets through battle, trade one rental after each win when it improves coverage, and prepare for Thorton's randomized rentals.
- Thorton has no fixed static team in source data. His side is generated from the facility rental pool, so the guide intentionally does not invent a party.
