HeartGold & SoulSilver Sinjoh Ruins

Lead an Arceus into the Ruins of Alph and a buried Sinnoh shrine opens. There it forges one newborn Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina for you to keep, with Cynthia watching the ritual.

One-of-a-kind. You only get a single shot per cartridge — knock it out or run, and it is gone for the run. Save before engaging.

ITEMS

Reached only through the Arceus event, the Sinjoh Ruins hand over all three creation orbs at once: the Adamant Orb, the Lustrous Orb, and the Griseous Orb, each boosting its matching dragon.

Sinjoh Ruins Guide

  • Walk into the Ruins of Alph with an event Arceus following you and it teleports you north to the Sinjoh Ruins, an area that did not exist in Gold, Silver, or Crystal. At the Mystri Stage, Cynthia lets you pick one circle for Arceus to make a Level 1 Dialga holding the Adamant Orb, Palkia with the Lustrous Orb, or Giratina with the Griseous Orb. Bring a second Arceus later to get the dragons you passed on. This is the only way to get the Griseous Orb in HGSS.
