=Acuity Lakefront=
A snowy area that is the entrance to Lake Acuity. This area is found between Route 217 and Snowpoint City.
==Events==
===Lake Acuity Blocked===
Two Galactic Grunts are blocking the entrance to Lake Acuity. You cannot access this lake until you defeat Gym Leader Candice, which is the gym leader of the Snowpoint Pokémon Gym. Come back here when you defeat her.
Click here to go to Snowpoint City.
==Snowpoint City==
Snowpoint City is located at the extreme north of Sinnoh, a quiet city with only a few houses and a gym, surrounded by trees and snows. There is a harbour there, which will take you to the Fight Area when you become the Pokémon League Champion. There is a temple called Snowpoint Temple stood there, where Regigigas lays.
Click here to head to the gym.
==Events==
===Snowpoint Harbor===
There is a harbor here, but the sailor only takes trainers who have been recognized by the Pokémon League. After you defeat the Elite Four and become a Champion, come back here and he will bring you to Fight Area.
===Trading Medicham for Haunter===
There is a girl living at a house at northwest of the city. She wants a Medicham and will trade her Haunter for it. However, be careful, as this Haunter is holding an Everstone, meaning it won't evolve into a Gengar.
==Snowpoint Temple==
Snowpoint Temple is found at the north of the city. If you have not entered the Sinnoh Region Pokémon League's Hall Of Fame, then you cannot enter the Snowpoint Temple; and even then, you need to have the three legendary Regi Trio Pokémon (Regirock, Regice and Registeel) in your party, to activate the event at the bottom most floor.
When you have become the Sinnoh Region Pokémon League's Champion and also obtained the National Pokédex from Professor Rowan and Professor Oak, come back here and the woman will allow you to enter the temple, but make sure you have traded the Regi Trio from earlier versions and put them in your party, to activate the Regigigas event here, as there is a Regigigas at the bottom of the temple, so be ready to catch it.
==Snowpoint Pokémon Gym==
The whole gym is made up of ice. There are big snowballs on the ice and you have to slide down from the top platform to gain force to crush the snowballs. Most trainers use Ice-type Pokémon, some have Water-type and one has a Steelix. Prepare a Fire-type Pokémon such as Rapidash so that you will win many battles.
To solve the puzzle and reach the gym leader, click the link below:
===Gym Leader Candice===
After crushing snowballs and sliding around, you finally meet up with Candice at the end. Candice has four Pokémon - three of them are Ice-type but Medicham is not. Her Medicham knows how to use Ice Punch, so beware. Prepare a Fire-type Pokémon to KO her Ice-type Pokémon. Bring out a strong Flying-type Pokémon to deal with her Medicham.

===Battling Dialga/Palkia===
After Team Galactic have left, Prof. Rowan and his grandkid arrive to Spear Pillar. Prof. Rowan said about Dialga/Palkia, the master of time. Prof. Rowan said that Dialga/Palkia is waiting for you. Save your progress now.
Approach Dialga/Palkia and you will be engaged into a battle.
Dialga/Palkia is the one and only Pokémon you can catch in the game. Once you defeat it, you will not be able to battle with it again. So, you must capture it. You should have the Quick Ball in your inventory. You don't have to battle it to lower its HP to catch it - just throw a Quick Ball because there are high chances for it to be captured at the start of the battle.
If the Quick Ball does not capture it, reboot the game and restart again. Keep throwing Quick Ball and rebooting the game until you capture Dialga/Palkia.
After you captured it, Prof. Rowan will say it is an extraordinary scene he never seen before. Dawn/Lucas also compliments about you. Then, you must leave the place.
Before leaving the place, head to the north of the Spear Pillar and picked up the orb - Adamant Orb for the Diamond version, Lustrous Orb for the Pearl versions. It raises the attack power of Dialga or Palkia.
When you done with Spear Pillar, Route 222 has opened.
