Platinum Lost Tower

Grief hangs over the Lost Tower on Route 209. Trainers climb its floors to lay departed Pokemon to rest, and the fog thickens the higher they go. The hush weighs on every step.

Lost Tower is in Sinnoh, with Route 209 to the south. In the story it comes after Solaceon Ruins and before Route 210.

LOST TOWER MAP

The Lost Tower rises five floors, an easy ascent in Diamond and Pearl but a mistier one here. Platinum hangs fog over the upper levels, so Defog is what clears the path to the top.

Pokemon Encounters

Ghost-types own this tower. Gastly clouds the air at up to 65 percent by day and thins after dark, when Duskull takes its place at 20 percent. A lone Golbat at 1 percent is the only non-Ghost in the building.
