**Prerequisites or “things to do before entering the Void”**
- Use Explorer Kit, talk to Roark, come back up and save.
- Enter Contest Hall, talk to your Mom.

- A Pokémon with Fly is recommended but not mandatory
Watch the video of the route you’re doing completely, read the requirements, and stay until

**Does it work in Platinum ?**
No. Diamond and Pearl only.
**Guides for Arceus/Shaymin/Darkrai/Cresselia:**
Darkrai/Shaymin/Cresselia: [Link]
Arceus from Hall of Origin (and Jubilife) if you ***haven’t caught Dialga/Palkia yet***:
[Link]
Arceus from Mystery Zone if you caught them: [Link]
Arceus from Hall of Origin (English only): [Link]
**Will my Arceus trigger the Sinjoh Ruins event in HGSS ?**
Only the one from Hall of Origin will.
**Can I catch more than one Darkrai/Shaymin/Arceus ?**
You can only catch one Darkrai/Shaymin per save file, but you can catch as many Arceus as
you like.
To catch a second Arceus in Hall of Origin, you need to run from one in another map first.
Arceus from other maps can be caught one after another with no problem.
The infinite Arceus route is made to catch many Arceus with little steps in between.
**What is a fully used Explorer Kit?**
See next question
**Why is my game freezing at 222 W ?**
You forgot to use the Explorer's Kit for the first time. Use it to trigger the Roark cutscene, go
back up and save. Watch this for a better explanation : [Link]
**My game freezes at 260 E on the 5 minute Darkrai/Shaymin route.**
You already did the wrong warp setup. If the last route you used was a
Darkrai/Shaymin/Cresselia route, use fast wrong warp instead:
<[Link]
If the last route you used was infinite Arceus, talk to the lady in the GTS and try again.
To get out of the Void, reset the game and use Fly, or walk west until you reach Turnback
Cave and use Escape Rope, or walk south until you reach a route and use Teleport.
**My game freezes after a message from my rival in the infinite Arceus route**
You will need to exit the void by flying/ escape roping, then enter the library in Canalave City
to activate some cutscenes. After that, you can do a fast wrong warp to continue the route.
**My game freezes when I use RETIRE on the infinite Arceus route.**
You already caught Dialga/Palkia, so you can’t use this route. Now you’re stuck with the
RETIRE menu, meaning you can’t save or use items anymore. To fix this, you’d need a Gen
3 game, a DS or DS lite and the National Dex.
Save in the GTS
Get a bike in Jubilife City
Tweak into Poketch Co.

If you get moved left, you have a ledge
If you don't, reset the game until you get one.
It's a 1/64 chance.

If you did:

W repeatedly until you're half a tile left of the first NPC from the right.
Walk down until you are inside the map
Graphic reload, and stand 1 tile right of the door, go down.
You have now done nothing! But you know that
You have the correct data to get a ledge.
Go to the pal park area, enter. This requires national dex.
You get pushed down. Then go:

Voila, you're inside!
You can either enter pal park right now, and remove the menu by using RETIRE there or
leaving, or you can now leave this map, go save in a pokémoncenter, and come back later to
remove the menu.
**My game freezes at 188 S on the fast Arceus route.**
You still have Wrong Warp setup. The fast Arceus route goes through a Pokémon Center
top floor, and that makes the game freeze if you have wrong warp setup. To deactivate it,
just enter the GTS building in Jubilife, talk to the lady in blue at the counter and save.
**When I go to the top floor of a Pokémon Center, I get moved into the void and can’t
trade.**
You still have Wrong Warp setup. To deactivate it, just enter the GTS building in Jubilife, talk
to the lady in blue at the counter and save. You can now trade again in the Pokémon Center,
it won’t move you into the void anymore.
**What does “full speed south” mean ?**
Don't stop. Running or fast gear on the bike.
**Can I trade Darkrai/Shaymin/Arceus to other games ?**
You can trade them between Gen 4 games no problem, and transfer them up to Gen 5.
Shaymin won’t give the Gracidea flower, only the one from the Platinum event will. Arceus
caught in Hall of Origin can activate the Sinjoh Ruins Event in Heartgold/Soulsilver.
To transfer them to Pokémon Bank:
Shaymin: Can’t transfer to Pokémon Bank at all.
Darkrai: Caught in Diamond, leveled up to 50 and not knowing Pursuit.
Arceus: Caught in Diamond, not caught in the Hall of Origin, leveled up to 100 in Diamond
and only knowing Judgement and legal moves.
**Can you catch Regigigas with the void glitch ?**
You can get to its cave earlier (you can get just about everywhere with the Void), but you still
need the three Regis in your party to fight it. The game checks if you have them when you
talk to Regigigas and if you don't, it will not start the battle.
The three Regis aren't catchable in D/P, only in Platinum, so you can't get them via the Void.
**What about Heatran ?**
You can't get Heatran early because you need to have the National Dex to trigger its sprite
to appear.
**And Giratina ?**
You can get Giratina early with this route : video link
