Eterna City

Eterna City (Japanese: ハクタイシティ Hakutai City) is a city in the region of Sinnoh; it is an older city, showing the signs of history.

There is a rather large statue of Dialga or Palkia (depending on the version played; Diamond yields Dialga; Pearl, Palkia) on the east side of town. The statue was once the main center of festivals in the town, although signs of the town's culture and rituals have started to slip away. Of late, both Team Galactic and Cynthia become interested in the statue. After the National Dex has been obtained and the player has visited the Pal Park, Professor Oak appears in the southernmost house in the city.

A woman in the Pokémon Center will give you Pokétch app #6, the Friendship Checker. Beside the Pokémon Center is the Underground Man's House, where the Explorer Kit can be obtained. The kit gives access to the Underground.

In Pokémon Platinum, after the player deals with the Galactic Grunts in the city, Cynthia will appear and give him/her an egg which will hatch into a Togepi.
