Diamond & Pearl Spear Pillar
Cyrus makes his last stand at Spear Pillar, tearing the sky open with the Red Chain to call down his god. You catch it on the spot: Dialga in Diamond, Palkia in Pearl.
Spear Pillar is in Sinnoh, with Mt. Coronet to the south. In the story it comes after Lake Acuity and before Route 222.

TRAINERS
Spear Pillar is the climax. Mars and Jupiter fight you two on two near level 46, then boss Cyrus steps up with a level 48 Weavile. Barry stands beside you for the double battle, but the team beyond is yours alone.
Spear Pillar Guide
You catch Dialga in Diamond or Palkia in Pearl, both at Level 47, after Cyrus uses the Red Chain to summon it atop Mt. Coronet. First clear the run of fights here: two Galactic Grunts in a Double Battle, then Commanders Mars and Jupiter alongside your rival in a Multi Battle, then Cyrus. If you knock the legendary out instead of catching it, it comes back once you enter the Hall of Fame, so a Master Ball is a safe call.
Yes. After the encounter, grab the orb just north of where the legendary stood: the Adamant Orb in Diamond, which powers up Dialga's Steel and Dragon moves, or the Lustrous Orb in Pearl, which boosts Palkia's Water and Dragon moves. There is no Distortion World entrance at Spear Pillar in these versions, since that is a Platinum addition.
