Pokemon Platinum Guide : Roark the Rock !


Hi Everyone,

Pokemon Platinum is an old game but still hasn't got rotten
So, I will be Giving a small BUT useful walk through/guide for the game 


This is the picture of the cover

And so , Start the game and this game's prof. will be professor rowan. I recommend a fire starter or to be more clear CHIMCHAAR as a starter which evolves into a monferno at some level 15 or 16 or whatever which learns mach punch. The reason why i'm telling you this is because most of the people say it'll be a hard time in the first gym which is rock/ground type. And I don't think that you all are lazy to train your chimchaar to level 16.. then it evolves into a monferno and learns mach punch. Use mach punch on gym leader roark's onix and it will faint the first time you use it. And then u get a badge :)

So I Guess i'm skipping the beginning so i'll start it now: 
You will see the usual thing in Pokemon games: Professor comes up, 
explains about Pokemon, you choose your gender, name, and then your 
rival’s name. Now you’re ready to go.

Once the news is over, your rival will start talking to you. Go 
downstairs and your Mom will talk to you too before you leave. Go to 
the top-left house in the town, when you go to the front door your 
rival will bump into you, but will go back inside. Follow him in and go 
upstairs. He’ll then go outside to Route 201, follow him.
Professor Rowan will come to you both and will offer you a Pokemon: 
Turtwig, Chimchar and Piplup.

Turtwig:
Grass Type
HP: 55
ATK: 68
DEF: 64
SP. ATK: 45
SP. DEF: 55
SPD: 31
EVO: Grotle at Lv18
          Torterra at Lv32
Overall: Turtwig has the best Attack and Defense points compared to the 
others, and once he goes to Torterra, he’s part Ground type too. Now 
this is what I choose in Diamond and it’s been working out, the sad 
thing is that he is hopelessly slow. Grotle also learns Bite at Lv21 so 
you can have something for the third Gym. Turtwig is able to learn Dark 
moves along with Grass and Earthquake when he evolves at Torterra, but 
he has some common weaknesses like Fire and Bug. But he is also immune 
to Electric types. I say Turtwig is a good choice for people that have 
been playing for a while. 

Chimchar:
Fire Type
HP: 44
ATK: 58
DEF: 44
SP. ATK: 58
SP. DEF: 44
SPD: 61
EVO: Monferno at Lv14
          Infernape at Lv36
Overall: Speed is the trump card for Chimchar. He has a pretty good 
Attack and Special Attack but the Defense and Special Defense are 
pretty poor so you’re going to need some tough moves to give Chimchar. 
When he gets to Monferno, he will be part Fighting type giving you an 
advantage for the first gym. Infernape is an alright Pokemon, you got 
your ups and downs. He can give quite a beat down on some of the other 
types but has also acquired a weakness of Flying and Psychic type moves 
from what you’ll see from your rival. This guy is pretty good for 
veteran players or those who want a challenge because he has some 
disadvantages in most gyms.

Piplup:
Water Type
HP: 53
ATK: 51
DEF: 53
SP. ATK: 61
SP. DEF: 56
SPD: 40
EVO: Prinplup at Lv16
          Empoleon at Lv36

Overall: Piplup’s Special Attack and Special Defense are better by a 
little and the other stats are average. He also has a bigger array of 
moves to learn also. Once he’s Empoleon you will be part Steel type 
giving you quite the advantage. Empoleon has only 3 weaknesses, 11 
resistances and is immune to Poison-type attacks, and one of the 
resistances is the legendary Dragon types. You’ll also start learning 
Flying type moves periodically, which will take care of your weakness 
to Fighting. This is a choice for beginners or those who want an easy 
win.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Professor Rowan will take his leave and you and your rival will test 
out your Pokemon. They are Lv5 and whatever Pokemon you choose, he will 
choose the weakness of it.

--Boss 1---Rival-------------------------------------------------------
If you choose Turtwig: 
* Lv5 Chimchar: Fire
o Scratch, Leer
If you choose Chimchar:
* Lv5 Piplup: Water: 
o Pound, Growl
If you choose Piplup:
* Lv5 Turtwig: Grass 
o Tackle, Withdraw.


After the battle you will be home, fully healed. Talk to your Mom and 
she will give you the Running Shoes that will make you faster when you 
hold down the B-button. Go to Route 201 and you will see your rival 
again telling you to go to Lake Verity. Go left then up to the entrance. 
At the lake you will see Cyrus who will talk to you and your rival 
before leaving. You will then hear a cry a little later on. Now head 
for Sandgem Town which is on the right of Route 201.

You’ll see Rowan’s assistant when you arrive in Sandgem and will take 
you to the lab to see Professor Rowan. He will give you a Pokedex then 
leave and he will give you TM27-Return.

Then the assistant will show you the two places you’ll be using on the 
journey: the Pokemon Center and the Pokemart. Then the assistant will 
go to Route 202, but you need to go to Twinleaf to get the Journal key 
item from your Mom and your rival’s mom will come to give you a package 
you need to give to your rival. Once you’ve gotten the items, head to 
Route 202 which is north of Sandgem.

--Route 202 Wild Pokemon-----------------------------------------------
* Shinx-Tall Grass-30%-Electric
* Bidoof-Tall Grass-40%-Normal
* Starly-Tall Grass-20%-Normal/Flying
* Kricketot-Tall Grass-10%-Bug



The assistant will give a “How-To” on catching Pokemon and will give 
you 5 pokeballs. Now head north to Jubilife City.
You will see the assistant and point you through the city, you will 
also see the Detective here, and you will see him plenty of times. The 
assistant will then take you to the Trainer’s school, go inside and see 
that your rival is there to, give him the package and you will get a 
Town Map. Now leave and talk to the Poketch Company President. Then 
find the three clowns in the city. One is close to the Pokemart, 
another is outside the Poketch Company building, and the last is at the 
TV Station. When you find them all, go to the President and he will 
give you a Poketch. Now go to Route 203 which is right of Jubilife.


--Route 203 Wild Pokemon-----------------------------------------------
* Starly-Tall Grass-35%-Normal/Flying
* Shinx-Tall Grass-25%-Electric
* Kricketot-Tall Grass-10%-Bug
* Bidoof-Tall Grass-15%-Normal
* Abra-Tall Grass-15%-Psychic



Your rival will meet up with you once you go in the Route and will 
challenge you to a match.

If you choose Turtwig:
* Lv7 Starly-Normal/Flying
o Growl, Quick Attack
* Lv9 Chimchar-Fire
o Scratch, Leer
If you choose Chimchar:
* Lv7 Starly-Normal/Flying
o Growl, Quick Attack
* Lv9 Piplup-Water
o Pound, Growl
If you choose Piplup:
* Lv7 Starly-Normal/Flying
o Growl, Quick Attack
* Lv9 Turtwig-Grass
o Tackle, Withdraw

Suggested Lv: 8
Advice: You should be stronger right now and have caught some new 
Pokemon for your team. Your rival now has a Starly in his arsenal and 
he only knows Quick Attack for Attacking you. Just keep hitting his 
team and do the same as your last battle, this won’t be too difficult



Once that is over with go to the Oreburgh Gate that’s at the top-right 
of the 203.

--Oreburgh Gate Wild Pokemon-------------------------------------------
* Zubat-Cave-50%-Poison/Flying
* Psyduck-Cave-35%-Water
* Geodude-Cave-15%-Rock/Ground
There will be a man at the entrance that will give you the HM06 that 
will help you break cracked rocks around the world but you’ll need the 
first badge for that. Now just go straight ahead till you’re at 
Oreburgh.

Once you’re out of the cave, you will be taken to the gym by a resident 
of the city only to find your rival, telling you the gym is closed and 
Roark is in the mine. The mine is in the southern part of Oreburgh.

------------------------

--Oreburgh Mine 1st Floor & Basement Wild Pokemon-----------------------
* Geodude-Cave-65%-Rock/Ground
* Zubat-Cave-25%-Poison/Flying
* Onix-Cave-10%-Rock/Ground
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Roark is in the deeper part of the Mine, you’ll now it’s him by the red 
helmet he has on. Once you find him, talk to him, and then he’ll go to 
the Gym. Now leave the mines and go back to the Gym



There are two trainers in the Gym, you can fight them before Roark or 
you can go around them and only battle Roark.

(--Boss 3---Oreburgh Gym Leader Roark---------------------------------)
* Lv12 Geodude-Rock/Ground
o Rock Throw, Stealth Rock
* Lv12 Onix-Rock/Ground
o Screech, Rock Throw, Stealth Rock
* Lv 14 Cranidos-Rock
o Headbutt, Leer, Pursuit

Suggested Lv: 13
Advice: Turtwig and Piplup can sweep through this Gym easily, Chimchar 
will have some trouble with it though, you can catch a Psyduck from the 
Gate or a Machop from Route 207, North of Oreburgh to help. This will 
be dramatically easy if you’ve been training hard enough and you 
exploit the weaknesses.



Once you win, Roark will give you the Coal Badge and TM76-Stealth Rock. 
Now head back to Jubilife.
Now Part 1 : Pokemon platinum guide till oreburgh city gym is over.
See you guys next time ! Happy Gaming !
