Turnback Cave

Pokemon Diamond Walkthrough and Guide

Turnback Cave

This area is accessible via the Spring Path (east of Route 214). At the Sendoff Spring, climb up the northeast wall and go around to the top to reach the cave entrance. The Pokemon in the cave consist of Bronzors, Bronzongs, Golbats and Haunters. The encounter rate for Haunters is pretty high, so this cave is a good place to catch one.

Use Defog as soon as you enter to restore visibility. The rooms in this dungeon seems to be randomly generated. So I can't tell you exactly where you need to go. But your guide here will be the "pillar rooms". (A room with a single pillar in it.) There are 3 of such rooms in this dungeon. and you need to access all of them to get to the legendary Pokemon.

When you get to the room in which the pillar states "3 12", then chances are, one of the exits in that room will lead to Giratina. Once you spot the Pokemon, save your game and talk to it.

| Legendary Pokemon Giratina                                     |
----------------------------------------------------------------
| I really suggest that you send out Dialga here. Since it can   |
| handle all the attacks Giratina throws your way. The only move |
| you need to watch out for when using Dialga is Earth Power,    |
| because Dialga is weak against Ground attacks. Giratana is     |
| weak against Dragon-type moves, so Dialga's "Roar of Time"     |
| will work very well.                                           |
|                                                                |
| The said move will often leave your target with a tiny chunk   |
| of HP. Once that happens, start throwing Dusk or Ultra Balls   |
| at Giratina. This legendary Pokemon is really difficult to     |
| catch, so it will take a lot of attempts on your part.         |
|                                                                |
| I'm not really sure about this, but it seems that a Pokemon    |
| with a "Hasty" nature (like Machoke) makes capturing Giratina  |
| a lot easier.                                                  |

No worry's! If you kill a legendary pokémon, no matter what one, it will respawn after you defeated the Elite Four again. The champion doesn't have to be defeated, so don't rage all out if you couldn't defeat her. (THIS DOESN'T WORK IF YOU ALLREADY CAUGHT THE LEGENDARY YOU WANT TO RESPAWN)

(Oh, and don't look around for those right rooms, i caught Giratina with some randomizing so thats what you've got to do.)

Put on some epic adventuring music, grab a handful of max repels, and get an Rock Smash/Rock Climb HM slave. I'm using my lv. 90 Heatran to catch it

Water and Dragon moves work well against Giratina, just be careful you dont overdo it and accidentally kill it :3 Plus any pokemon with the Ability "Levitate" works well against its Ground move...only thing to watch for is its Shadow Force move. Killed my level 61 Palkia in one hit..:c Had to resort to my level 100 Empoloeon, who worked surprisingly well against Giratina. Thanks for these tips though, guys!! Really helped me so much @.@

Ermm guys... I know the pattern. First, read the inscription on the very first room when you enter Turnback cave. Then go to the top door. If there is no pillar, go back and read the inscription again. Reading the inscription resets the rooms. Then go to the right door. There should be a pillar. If not, go back and repeat the steps again, but only go the top door and the right door. Pillars appear there only. Once you find the pillar, if you went in from the top, go in a clockwise direction, meaning since you went from the top, go to the right door, click on the pillar. Then go on the bottom door, click the pillar, and go the right pillar, and you see Giratina. If you went through the right door in the first place, go in anti-clockwise direction, meaning since you went from the right, go down, then right, then up and see Giratina.
