Pokémon of the Week: 10/31

The last Pokémon of the Week is...

Giratina!

Giratina is dragon and ghost Pokémon that lives on the other side of the world. In Diamond and Pearl, you can get Giratina in Turnback Cave. But in Platinum, you get Giratina in the Torn World. The entrance is at Spear Pillar. Giratina has a normal form and an origin form. The origin form is supposedly more powerful. Giratina is the most significant pokemon in Platinum and the "mascot" of the game. Scary Pokemon for Halloween, isn't it?

The Pokémon of the Week is...


Porygon!


Porygon is the world's first artifical Pokémon. It can travel through electronic space. You can upgrade Porygon, too. If you trade Porygon while holding a Up-Grade, it will evolve into Porygon2. If you trade it again as Porygon2 while holding a Dubious Disk, it will evolve to Porygon-Z. The only way to obtain Porygon is getting it in a house in Veilstone City.

The Pokémon of the Week is...

Mamoswine!

Mamoswine is a Ice and Ground type Pokémon. Its two tusks are made out of ice. They were common in the Ice Age. Mamoswine is also in the new Sinnoh Dex. Just like Yanmega, you can evolve Mamoswine by learning Ancientpower. But you need to use a heart scale, because it learns it at level 1. Mamoswine learns moves like Ice Fang, Mud Bomb, Blizzard, and Earthquake.
