Platinum discipline

Morning, day, night, daily, Radar, swarm, dual-slot, static, gift, and event rows remain distinct when their requirements differ.

Route Plan

Use the floor-by-floor puzzle record to confirm Cyrus, the three guardian boulders, and Giratina are complete; if Giratina was defeated, reserve the Turnback Cave rematch for post-game.

  • This reference section deliberately repeats the required Distortion World route under the phase name requested for the guide; the story-clear route occurs before Volkner.

Trainers

Route order follows event-object order, then source-script order. Teams show held items and moves only where Platinum explicitly defines them. Rewards use the engine formula: highest party level × 4 × trainer-class multiplier.
