Trivia

  • Contrary to popular belief it is possible to obtain TM25 Thunder by finding it in Pokémon Platinum instead of buying it. Using a cheating device that allows you to walk through walls, you must walk south-east in Lake Verity after Team Galactic's Galactic Bomb has struck. Walking south-east will talk you to a grass field with the pokeball near the corner. It is unknown why this pokeball may be here in an un-reachable section of the game but there is the possibility that Lake Verity was originally expanded into a grass field featuring that TM.
