Items (1F)

Item Location Games TinyMushroom On a boulder west of the entrance from Celestic Town (hidden)  Pt  Escape Rope South of the entrance from Celestic Town Elixir On a rock in the middle of the cavern (requires either Strength or Rock Smash) (hidden)  Pt  TM69 (Rock Polish) North of the entrance from Eterna City (requires Strength and Rock Smash) (hidden)  Pt  Revive Near the west entrance on a boulder in the open (hidden)  Pt  Rare Candy Middle of the northern cavern (requires Strength and Rock Smash)  Pt  Red Shard On a boulder near the stairs at the northern end (hidden)  Pt  TM02 (Dragon Claw) Southern end of northern cavern (requires entering via the tunnel from the summit)  Pt  Hyper Potion On a rock directly north of TM02 (hidden)  Pt

Previously you could only go a limited distance regardless of which entrance you used from either side of Route 211. Now with Strength you can fully explore this side of Mt. Coronet. Besides Strength, you'll also need Rock Smash and Defog for traveling through. Since you won't be able to change your team until you reach Snowpoint City make sure that your team is well prepared to handle this. You'll at least need a Fighting, Fire, Electric, and Psychic-type to handle the trainers on Route 216 and Route 217. From the entrance that leads to Route 211's east side head north using Strength to move the boulder and don't forget to smash the rocks to find a Rare Candy. Also don't forget to use your Dowsing Machine on your Pokétch to find some hidden items while exploring this side of Mt. Coronet. Anyway if you follow the path downwards you'll be in B1F.

Items (B1F)

Item Location Games Ultra Ball South-west corner of the room (requires Rock Smash)  Pt  Green Shard On the boulder south of the Stardust (hidden)  Pt  Light Clay On an island in the middle of the foggy lake (requires Surf)  Pt  Max Elixir North-east corner of the foggy lake (requires either Surf or Rock Smash)  Pt  Blue Shard Behind a smashable rock left of the foggy lake (requires Rock Smash) (hidden)  Pt  Soft Sand Near the north-west corner of the foggy lake (requires Strength and Rock Smash)  Pt  Revive North of the foggy lake, north-east of the Soft Sand (requires Strength and HM06 (Rock Smash))  Pt  Full Restore Next to the eastern edge of the foggy lake (requires Rock Smash)  Pt  Star Piece Between two boulders north of the foggy lake (hidden)  Pt  Rare Candy Three steps left of the stairs in the far north-west corner of the room (hidden)  Pt

From the beginning you will need to use Defog to remove the intense fog to make it easier to fight wild Pokémon in here. Here you will find a very large pool of water. Besides needing Surf for it, if you fish in four random squares you will find a Feebas here. Any rod will do, although you might need False Swipe if you wish to catch it without making it faint. It would also be a good idea to fish 2-3 times in each spot before moving again to help with finding Feebas since it is not guaranteed you'll find one right away even if it is the right spot. You can also find some items here with the help of both Strength and Rock Smash. Anyway follow the western area north to find the exit to the other part of the 1F that leads to Route 216.

Items (Final Area)
Item Location Games Yellow Shard Left boulder outside Iceburg Ruins entrance (hidden)  Pt  NeverMeltIce Inside Regice's cave near Route 216 entrance  Pt

One new change here in Platinum is the entrance to a new area the Iceburg Ruins. With a event Regigigas in your party it will become a shrine to Regice. If not, it is a regular chamber that holds the NeverMeltIce here. Once you have gotten the National Pokédex and have the event Regigigas with you, then you can challenge Regice to battle and have a chance to catch it. Anyway when ready head out through the west exit to reach Route 216.

Items

Item Location Games PP Up On the upper ledge south-west of the first bridge (hidden)  Pt  Full Heal At the western end of the middle ledge, west of the middle bridge  Pt  TM13 (Ice Beam) Far right-hand side of the snowy ledge (past Skier Andrea) (Requires Rock Climb)  Pt  Mental Herb In the center of the snowy ledge (Requires Rock Climb)  Pt  HP Up To the right of the Mental Herb (Requires Rock Climb)  Pt  Revive South of the west bridge, west of Ace Trainer Maria  Pt  Max Potion Near Skier Andrea (Requires Rock Climb)  Pt

This is the first area of the game to where you can catch your own Ice-type Pokémon. While Diamond and Pearl only had two you could find in the wild, Platinum has four you could catch right now though you won't find Swinub until the next route. Just remember like walking through the mud, you can't use your bike or Running Shoes in the snow. Also the areas where you walk will determine how fast you can move. Hail will be in effect in all snow areas that will damage all non-Ice type Pokémon, though Magic Guard which Clefairy can use is one of the few options to avoid weather damage.

You won't be able to face all the trainers right away or find all the items until after you come back with Rock Climb following your upcoming Gym match. The lone cabin in this route will have a bed for you to rest so it can serve as a place to fully heal your Pokémon team. Head north to reach Route 217

This area will be difficult to navigate due to both the slow movement and heavy blizzard besides having to deal with Hail conditions in battle. Also there are ninja themed trainers hiding in the snow so look for mounds in the snow to find and face them. Use your Dowsing Machine to find hidden items while you are at it. When you arrive you'll encounter the Gym Leader Maylene who is traveling to Snowpoint City not properly dressed as a form of exercise. Out of all the items you can find as you are exploring the route make sure to to go to the first house in the middle of the route to find HM08 (Rock Climb). You will still need the next badge to use it outside of battle.

If you enter the house after collecting the HM, the person inside who owned the HM lets you keep it and also gives you the Icicle Plate. Right by the house in the northeastern section of the Route is the Icy Rock where if you level up Eevee around it, it will evolve into a Glaceon.
