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. The Sinnoh Bicycle Shop, Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop, is located here. Prominent features of the city include tall buildings and the Herb Shop. Team Galactic constructed their Eterna building here, adding a dark and sinister atmosphere in the city. The Underground Man's House is also here, where the Explorer Kit can be obtained. The kit gives access to the Underground.
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.
The Eterna Condominiums are the home to Sinnoh's Name Rater. Another person in the building will trade a Chatot for a Buizel, and yet another will give away TM67 (Recycle).
Eterna City's Gym Leader is Gardenia; she specializes in grass-type Pokémon. Defeating Gardenia yields the Forest Badge, TM86 Grass Knot, and the ability to use Cut outside of battle.
