Team Galactic Warehouse trainers and items

Right. You've chased Galactic around the three lakes of Sinnoh and flown to Veilstone City. It's time to deal with this lot properly. Your first objective is to find a way inside the main Team Galactic HQ building - but to do that you'll need a key.

Thankfully, if you talk to the Galactic Grunt out the front of the main Galactic Building they'll drop one - it seems like they've become a little disaffected with the organisation, so maybe they even left it for you on purpose. Either way, pick it up off the ground and then head over to the Galacic Warehouse in the north-west of town. (Also, while you're in town with your new-found ability to use Rock Climb, pick up a Full Incense from on top of a rock in the lower part of town since you're here.)

Once inside the Warehouse, try and interact with the locked doors inside, and they'll open! You'll lose the key in the process, but that's alright. Grab the Dusk Stone that's in this room and then head downstairs to Warehouse B1F.

Team Galactic Warehouse Basement B1F trainers and items

Down here, you want to head east, as this is actually a secret way of accessing the main Team Galactic HQ building!

To the north there's a locked door that can only be accessed from the other side, so for now just keep going east, picking up a Zinc and continuing until you reach some stairs to the main building.

Head up into the main building. This part of it we'll call Galactic HQ Building - Warehouse Access Section.

Team Galactic HQ Building - Warehouse Access Section items and trainers

Inside the main building, beat the fiurst grunt here then take the right warp pad of the two to collect TM49 Scald, then head back and take the left one and keep going until you reach some stairs.

You'll get to a floor with a warp pad on the left, a Grunt in the middle, and stairs on the right.

For now, take the warp pad, and follow the pads until you encounter Scientist Fredrick. Go past him, and you'll end up back down in the warehouse tunnel.

This time you'll be the other side of that locked door, with several items to nab while you're here. One of them is a Galactic Key.

Now, quickly backtrack the way you came until you get to that choice between the warp pad and the stairs. This time take the stairs. Continue round the outside of a large room battling two grunts and collecting an Elixir, then open the locked door with the newly found key to get TM21 Dazzling Gleam.

Now exit out of the Warehouse entrance you first came in from, heal up at the Pokémon Center, and enter the main Galactic Building from either of the left two front doors, and prepare for more battles! The next section details this part of the HQ building, which we're calling Team Galactic HQ Main Entrance Section.

Team Galactic HQ Building - Main Entrance Section items and trainers

Enter the building and go in through the now-unlockable door, up the stairs, and check the server to get a Full Heal.

Then battle two Grunts and go all the way to the right to a warp pad, then a couple more, to get a Max Revive then come back. The warp pad by the sink and kitchen area goes to a dead end with no items. Take the one by Scientist Darrius instead in the "TV Room".

This takes you to a "Nap Room" where you can interact with a bed to rest and heal your Pokémon - worth using!

After the next double battle you'll reach three warp pads. You can ignore the right one as it's another proper dead end with no items. Take the middle one to collect an Elixir, then go down to the bottom-left corner to get a hidden Rare Candy, then come back.

Take the left one to continue onwards to some stairs and another locked door. Open it with your special key again and head inside for a battle with Cyrus! Beware the battle will begin as soon as you step into the room with him.

He says he's "used" Uxie, Azelf, and Mespirit and it's time to dispose of them - take him down! Beware he can use a Super Potion if his Pokémon get low on HP.

After beating him, he'll monologue a bit before giving you a Master Ball! That's very generous of him. After that, collect the hidden Nugget in the top left of the room then take the warp pad on the right, to a creepy corridor and a room with Commander Saturn, and the three lake guardians who sadly appear to be suffering. Battle Commander Saturn!

After defeating him, press the yellow button on the machine to release the Pokémon - they'll teleport away! Head back via the yellow warp panel in the sinister corridor, then go south through the now-open door to a green warp panel, which takes you back to the entrance, where you can leave and heal up.

Your next stop now is Mount Coronet, to the very top of it in fact, where Cyrus plans to do something with the sinister Red Chain he made from whatever he extracted out of the three legendaries. The easiest way is via Oreburgh City and going east onto Route 7, which takes you into the southern part of the mountain. For the final time then: to Mount Coronet!
