Arceus, the enigmatic Pokémon that holds the key to the story

Arceus, the Alpha Pokémon, is said to have shaped all there is in this world.During your adventure, you will explore and survey the Hisui region and become more involved with the leaders of the Diamond and Pearl Clans—eventually finding yourself drawn into the mysteries surrounding Arceus.It seems that the secrets surrounding Arceus may be uncovered atop Mount Coronet, which towers above the Hisui region.

The Space-Time Rift That Has Appeared in the Sky above Mount Coronet
Above Mount Coronet’s peak, cracks have appeared in the sky, staining it an unnatural and foreboding hue. The people of the Hisui region call this phenomenon a “space-time rift,” and they fear it, not knowing what it truly portends. Yet it seems that the root cause behind its appearance might have something to do with a certain Pokémon...

The Mysterious Temple That Stands atop the Mountain’s Peak
There is a magnificent temple atop Mount Coronet. Built in ancient times, it is filled with beautiful statues of Pokémon that have been blessed with special protection—including the noble Pokémon. Only those who can conquer the difficult path leading up the towering heights of the mountain may reach this temple. You’ll have to train and grow strong with your Pokémon if you hope to see it for yourself.

The Evolutions of the three first partner Pokémon

Rowlet, Cyndaquil, and Oshawott are the three Pokémon you can choose from when selecting your first partner Pokémon. And as your partner grows stronger during your adventures together, it will eventually evolve. Rowlet evolves into Dartrix, Cyndaquil into Quilava, and Oshawott into Dewott. When Pokémon evolve, their appearance changes—and their stats improve, too, making these Pokémon even more reliable and heartening partners to have at your side!

Dartrix

Quilava

Category: Volcano Pokémon

Weight: 41.9 lbs. (19 kg)
