National Dex/Completing the Shinou Dex
Luckily, in this game, all you have to do to complete the Shinou
Dex is SEE all the Pokemon in the Dex, as opposed to catching them
like in previous games. And once you see all the Pokemon, you unlock
the National Dex. There are 151 Pokemon in the Shinou Dex, but not all
the new Pokemon are included in it.
National Dex:
Complete the Shinou Dex (see all 150 Shinou Pokemon, Manaphy
(#151) is not included)
Unlock Pal Park
Pal Park will be on route 221 when you get the National Dex.
Upgrade Trainer Card
Your trainer card when you begin the game is colored red. When

To get the The Azure Flute you must beat the battle tower 5 times in one day. This allows you to catch a legend dary pokemon if you use it next to were you catch Dialga or Palkia.

Didn't manage to catch either Dialga or Palkia on your first attempt? After obtaining the national dex you can return to the place you originally met them and retry! This only works, however, if you failed to catch them the first time round.

I have Arceus and it was not easy to get it. If you have one master ball and you want more, let a male pokemon hold it and put it in the daycare with a female of that species. To hatch an egg, you have to take 4000 steps. I recommend using the bike.
