Platinum Route 209

Lost Tower stands over Route 209, the long haul from Hearthome down to Solaceon. Slot an Odd Keystone into its Hallowed Tower and the forbidden Spiritomb finally turns up.

Route 209 is in Sinnoh, with Lost Tower to the north and Hearthome City to the west. In the story it comes after Amity Square and continues north to Solaceon Town.

Pokemon Encounters

Chansey is the lottery ticket at 5 percent, a mountain of HP and a pile of experience if you can hold it still. Snubbull and Roselia hold the common grass. The Hallowed Tower gives up Spiritomb, a level 25 reward you earn by meeting enough people underground.
