Platinum Eterna City
Eterna is an old-fashioned city in the shadow of a Galactic tower, the team's regional base under Commander Jupiter. Gardenia keeps the Grass-type gym. The bike shop here finally gets you rolling.
Eterna City is in Sinnoh, with Route 211 to the east, Route 206 to the south, and Route 205 to the west. In the story it comes after Eterna Forest and before Old Chateau.

Pokemon Encounters
No wild grass grows in town, so the catching happens at the water and through one gift. Cynthia hands over a Togepi egg, and the surf holds Psyduck at 90 percent with the odd Golduck alongside it.

Eterna City Guide
Rotom's five appliance forms (Heat, Wash, Frost, Fan, and Mow) are a Platinum feature with no equivalent in Diamond and Pearl. Rotom's Room is on the ground floor of the Team Galactic Eterna Building, behind a hidden door left of the TV that the Secret Key opens, which you only get from an event. Inside, the oven, fan, refrigerator, washing machine, and lawn mower each swap Rotom's form and grant a signature move. In Generation IV every form keeps Electric and Ghost typing, with a notebook by Charon on the table. Only one Rotom can hold each appliance at a time.
