FAQS
Q. What are those head looking things on my marking map?
A. Those are legendary pokemon. DO NOT fly near it because it will flee off somewhere else after you do. Walk to it. Then Once you see that your square representing you is on top of the head, run the the grass and a legendary should show up.

Q. How do I catch legendaries?
A. With masterballs and ultra balls. They should do the trick.

Q. How come some legendaries flee before I can even catch it?
A. Yes, some of them will flee. So make sure you use a pokeball first or a move that will make it stay.

Dialga or Palkia

You should bring Ultra and Master Balls before you arrive at Spear Pillar. You will encounter Dialga or Palkia depending on what version of Pokémon you have once Team Galactic’s Boss awakens it. Your rival will arrive to heal your Pokémon, but you should have items prior to climbing the mountain. Dialga or Palkia are found at Level 47.


Mesprit, Azelf, Uxie

After battling against Dialga or Palkia, these Pokémon are located at Sinnoh’s three lakes. All three are found at Level 50 in the caves of the lake. Mesprit runs away and must be tracked with by the Marking Map app (see the Pokétch Company’s president for the app).
The Pokémon below require the possession of the National Dex.

Heatran

Once obtaining the National PokéDex, you will be able to access the entire island of “Battle Area”, which can be accessed by taking a boat from Snowpoint City. Between Survival Area and Resort Area is Stark Mountain, where Heatran may be found.

As you browse Stark Mountain, you team up with Buck, a trainer owning Claydol. Help him through the mountain’s largest crater until you reach the northern exit. There, he’ll pick up an item and leave.

Buck will be staying at a house in Survival Area. Speak to him for a moment before he runs off again. Heatran will appear at the northern end of Hard Mountain, waiting for a battle.


Regigigas

There is a temple in Snowpoint City made inaccessible if you don’t have a National Dex. Once you do, you can enter it. Bring Regirock, Regice and Registeel with you. Browse down the temples of the floor until you find him. He will only battle if you have the legendary trio with you.

To battle Regigigas, you need Regirock, Regice, & Registeel in your party (which means that you have to transfer them over via Pal Park first). Once you do that, you can enter the Snowpoint Temple and go through a few ice puzzles to reach Regigigas. The first puzzles are easy, and get increasingly harder as you reach Regigigas. It will be at Level 70, but has the trait Slow Start, cutting its Attack & Speed in half for a few turns, so use that to your advantage. If you don't have the other Regis then Regigigas will still be there, but it will be asleep and unfightable.


Giratina
When browsing Route 214 (south of Veilstone City), a bunch of trees in the east direction at the southern end of the route should clear out. You should then be able to access Turnback Cave. After using Rock Climb to get up this mounted lake, get into the cave and browse the numerous exits to get to the room where Giratina lies.


Cresselia

In a house near the port of Canalave City, a sick child needs a Crescent Feather to allow him to get well again. After speaking with the residents in the house, a sailor will volunteer to sail you to Full Moon Island. Cresselia is found there, but it flees upon sight of you, leaving the feather. Deliver that to the sick child. Cresselia flies around the region and can be tracked using the Pokétch’s “Marking Map” app.

overall a very good guide that should help most new people out. i would also suggest bringing quick/dusk/timer balls though just in case but overall a good guide.

Excellent, Phanphy. One thing: you can only enter the Snowpoint Temple if you have the regis (that excludes Regigigas), not straight after you recieve the National Dex. But this is a great idea, Phanphy. Another successful guide!

no you can enter once you have the national dex you just have to have the regi's to wake up regigas.

I can't find it and do you need the natoial pokedex?

You need the Nat Dex to enter, and the 3 Regis in your party to awaken Regigigas.

Yes, but if you looked at Pokedream, you would see that they put in the walkthrough "you need the regis to enter" and bear in mind I have never defeated the Elite 4. So don't blame me.

that walkthrough is wrong then.

i've entered without the three regi's many times.

You can enter the Temple at any time, but you cannot awaken Regigigas without the three Regis. Unless you going after or battling random Sneasels in the Temple, it would be pointless to go in there without the Regis.

http://pokedream.com/games/diamondpearl/sidequest.php - I have evidence, you don't. And I haven't got that far, don't blame me.

we have better evidence, personal experience. i've entered the temple before and gotten to regigas when i forgot the regi's and when i got to him he was just a statue with a saying on him.

and if you haven't gotten that far then you shouldn't be arguing this

I believe a website, not you. Anyways, I'm not letting this argument get too far, but Phanphy, you have done well making this :wink:

whatever, why does everyone else say you can enter without the regi's?

once you have actually gotten that far try it for yourself.

No, you need the National Dex.

@jabpoké - That website is wrong. I've done it myself. Most people who make guides don't actually have the game and get the info from Nintendo somehow. IDK how Psypokes and Serebii and such do it...
