Pokémon: Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

Route 209 (Encounters & Items)

By
Vincent Lau

What to do at the Hallowed Tower?

The Hallowed Tower is a small, crumbled structure barely resembling a tower, located near the east edge of the route. If you bring an Odd Keystone here, then speak to 32 unique NPCs in the Grand Underground, you can make "Spiritomb" IconSpiritomb appear.
