The National Dex is a direct upgrade to the Pokedex that records information on all the known Pokemon and not just Pokemon found in that specific region. Obtaining the National Pokedex requires you to see all 150 Pokemon native to the sinnoh region, you do NOT have to catch all of them, you just have to "see" or encounter them.

  2. Go to Sandgem Town.
