Mount Coronet

Mount Coronet (Japanese: テンガン Mount Tengan), formatted as Mt. Coronet prior to , is the highest mountain in the Sinnoh region, part of a long mountain range that divides the region in half. Most of it is a deep cave, though there are several above-ground areas in which it snows constantly.
The cave that winds through the mountain is apparently man-made, as bridges run through it; though the higher one climbs, the more rugged it becomes. As a centerpiece of the region, the cave connects Oreburgh City, Eterna City, Hearthome City, Celestic Town, and Snowpoint City via Routes , , , , and . To fully navigate the mountain's caves, , , , , , and are required.
According to legend, Mount Coronet is where the Sinnoh region began. created , , and at the Spear Pillar, as well as the Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous Orbs, then fell into an unending sleep on the highest point of the mountain.
Mount Coronet has a special magnetic field that causes and to evolve into and , respectively, when leveled up here. This can still occur at the Spear Pillar and Hall of Origin.
In the Hisui region, the area of the mountain is known as the Coronet Highlands.

===Geography===
Mount Coronet stands in the center of Sinnoh, extending from the northern wilderness to the southern tip of the region, splitting it into two halves. It is best defined as a mountain range, with the highest peak shrouded in legend. It is presently the highest known mountain in the entire Pokémon world. Situated atop the peak is the Spear Pillar, the ruins of an ancient temple formerly known as the Temple of Sinnoh, with several of its pillars still standing, all pointing skyward. The legend of the Pokémon of Myth is deeply connected to the mountain, as is the plot of Team Galactic. A stained glass window in the in Hearthome City depicts the mountain with a bright shine, representing the Spear Pillar and possibly depicting the creation of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. Its place in Sinnoh has caused variation in the species of and , which have different coloration depending on the side of Sinnoh they are native to.
The southern portion of Mount Coronet's 1F leads between and and features several elevated rock formations as well as several pools of water. It is here where the will first meet Cyrus in , and meet him for the third time in . It is a simple cavern that requires no HMs to pass through. However, to ascend the mountain, the player must use and here and navigate the increasingly complex 2F and 3F. A mural of the lake guardians, similar to the one in Celestic Town, blocks the way to 3F until Team Galactic is defeated in Team Galactic HQ in Veilstone City. Eventually the player will make their way outside of the snowy mountain. This outer area features constant snowfall, much like Routes 216 and 217, as well as many hardy Pokémon adapted to living in this harsh environment. The way to Spear Pillar goes through 4F, back outside, into 4F, and finally up 5F and 6F. The outer area's only side portal leads to a huge tunnel-like maze, which exits out towards the northern portion of 1F. This exit is blocked by a until Cyrus is defeated. It is also blocked from the north by a movable boulder, whose positioning prevents from being used to clear a path through.
The northern portion of 1F is vastly different from the southern cavern, with no pools of water on the ground floor, and requiring and Strength to navigate between the two halves of and toward . In Platinum, until the player defeats Mars at Lake Verity, two Team Galactic Grunts block the way north. After the Grunts leave, this cavern leads further to B1F, an area blanketed in a dense fog where a large underground lake is located. This lake is the only place that is available in Sinnoh, though like in Hoenn, it is found only in specific tiles on any given day (see ). At the north end of this area is a way back up to Mount Coronet's northernmost cave, upper 1F, leading out toward Route 216, and in Platinum, where the is located.
====Spear Pillar====
The Spear Pillar, once known as the Temple of Sinnoh, is located on the highest peak of Mount Coronet, the highest point in Sinnoh. It's home to the ruins of the ancient Temple of Sinnoh, stated by legend to be the place where , , and were created by Arceus. It is here that Cyrus summons both Dialga and Palkia with the Red Chain, though when their proximity to each other causes an imbalance in the structure of reality, Giratina arrives to whisk Cyrus away to prevent further damage.
If an Azure Flute is obtained from a special Nintendo event/there is save data for all 27 completed Pokémon Legends: Arceus missions, a staircase can be opened on the Spear Pillar to the Hall of Origin where waits. The battle begins as soon as the player steps onto the platform at the end of the staircase.
====Iceberg Ruins====
In Platinum, the Iceberg Ruins appear near Mount Coronet's exit onto Route 216. If the event Regigigas is not with the player, a NeverMeltIce will be found in its cavern instead.
====Finding Feebas====
 are elusive in Mount Coronet, similar to in Hoenn. Instead of being found in any fishing location as would be customary with most Pokémon, Feebas are located in only four random water tiles in B1F (the foggy floor with the lake leading to ). Of the total 528 fishable tiles, one Feebas tile is located within each 132 tiles (counted left-to-right then top-to-bottom). Adding to the difficulty, other Pokémon besides Feebas will still appear in the Feebas tiles as well. In Generation IV, there is no known easy method to determine which tiles contain Feebas: the only way is to fish repeatedly in each and every water tile in B1F, doing so enough times to be reasonably confident that no Feebas are in that tile (or else risk missing a Feebas tile). If the player reels in one Pokémon in every tile, there is a 1 in 16 (approximately 6%) chance they will pass over all four Feebas tiles without reeling in a single Feebas. By record mixing, all players' four tiles will change to the same four tiles as player one. Any Rod can find Feebas. Once hooked, Feebas is fairly easy to catch, with a catch rate of 255, and they can be fished from the same tile many times. The locations of the four tiles change every day. In Generation VIII, the RNG can be exploited by an external tool to locate Feebas tiles based on the daily Loto Ticket number.

They first arrived at Mount Coronet in Passing by Probopass and Maneuvering around Magnezone, although the path they took couldn't take them to the summit, where they were headed. Cyrus, who was also inside the cave the three Pokédex holders were passing through, considered them disturbing the mountain and sent his and to attack them, with the two Pokémon evolving into and , respectively, thanks to the mountain's influence, before using on the three s.
