Breeding
Phione	Egg	Repeatable			Breed Manaphy with Ditto. Phione does not evolve into Manaphy.

Secret Key and Rotom Forms

Open Galactic Eterna's appliance room and change Rotom's form.

Route Plan

Carry the Secret Key to the Galactic Eterna Building's ground floor, inspect the hidden wall, enter the appliance room, and choose an appliance to teach the matching signature move.

Items And Services

Retail and Event Completion Matrix

Finish a source-audited save without confusing extinct online services with ordinary access.

Complete the route, trainer, item, hidden-item, Pokédex, Frontier Print, Villa, tutor, and event checklists; mark historical distributions separately from retail-native objectives.

• Nintendo DS Wi-Fi Connection and Wi-Fi Plaza's original online service are discontinued. Local wireless functions remain hardware- and cartridge-dependent; fan replacement services are outside normal walkthrough progression.
