===Data Card Shop===
Data Cards can be purchased from the central reception desk located directly in front of the Pokéathlon entrance.
===Basement===
In the basement, there are four rooms where information about the player's Pokémon can be seen, most of which can only be accessed by doing certain achievements in the Pokéathlon.
====Solidarity Room====
In this room, the player can see their point records in every course, and which Pokémon team was used to obtain each record. There are also old wall paintings and scrolls that tell the history of the Pokéathlon.
Having a score of at least 420 in any course will display a Collective trophy (in the form of a crown) next to that course's medal. A score of 450 or higher will display two Collective trophies.
====Trust Room====
Unlocked by earning all five course medals (it doesn't have to be with the same team).
In this room, the player can see all the medals obtained for each individual Pokémon species. A species who has all five medals is considered to be a Medalist Pokémon.
A Trust trophy is obtained by getting a certain number of Pokémon species to Medalist status. The player gets such a trophy upon reaching 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, and 200 different Medalist Pokémon, for a total of ten trophies.
Other displayables in this room will be shown by completing the following tasks:
* Dash 5,000 times (golden Running Shoes)
* Join the Pokéathlon 50 times (golden track suit)
* Switch 200 times (red flag)
====Potential Room====
Unlocked by having at least one Medalist Pokémon.
In this room, the player can see a top five list of scores in each event (including "default" ones not set by the player), and the Pokémon used to obtain the event. Any default ones are seen as achieved by the three Johto first partner Pokémon. Scores obtained while playing in Link mode can also be viewed here, though they are kept separately from the single-player scores and cannot be used to unlock the Friendship room, the Trainer Star, or Potential trophies. The player can also see how many times they have played each event in single-player or link mode.
The table below gives viewers the default first place records one needs to beat, as well as the mastery record that unlocks a Potential trophy for that event. In addition, getting the first place record on every event here will increase the level of the . Note that the first place records must be beaten, not merely tied, in contrast to the mastery records.
Event 	1st Record 	Mastery Record
Hurdle Dash 	100.0 net seconds	80.0 net seconds
Pennant Capture	35 flags 	50 flags
Circle Push 	40 points 	60 points
Block Smash 	80 pieces 	130 pieces
Disc Catch 	40 points 	70 points
Lamp Jump 	350 points 	500 points
Relay Run 	12 laps 	16 laps
Ring Drop 	70 points 	100 points
Snow Throw 	30 hits 	55 hits
Goal Roll 	3 points 	9 points
Other displayables in this room will be shown by completing the following tasks:
* Win first on the Pokéathlon 100 times (golden Pokégear)
* Win first place on every Pokéathlon event 50 times (model Poké Ball with the engraving, "Stay on Top")
====Friendship Room====
Unlocked by beating all the preset first records seen in the Potential Room.
This room simply has a golden statue of the player, as well as statues of the last Pokémon team the player won the Pokéathlon with.
If the player checks their statue, they'll see their global Pokéathlon Score, as well as their global Pokéathlon Trophy count.
The global Pokéathlon score is calculated as the sum of the player's best final score in each of the five courses, the player's highest score for each of the ten individual events (after conversion to Athlete Points), and the total number of medals displayed in the box in the Trust room (so each Medalist species will add five to this total).
As the global Pokéathlon score increases past certain milestones, the player is awarded Friendship trophies. The tenth Friendship trophy is obtained at 4,500 points.

For his final challenge, Gold entered the Power Course with Aibo, Polibo, and Exbo. His opponents this time were three of the Elite Four; Bruno, Koga, and Will. They managed to easily win the first two rounds, but Gold ended up the victor in Block Smash by utilizing High Tension mode, winning him the entire Power Course.
After Gold told everyone the real reason why he had come to compete, a attacked the Pokéathlon Dome. Gold managed to defeat it and realized that the Dragonite actually belonged to Lance, which meant that they were attacked before they could get to the Dome. Annoyed that Lance wasn't coming after all, Gold took Dragonite for safe-keeping and headed off to Ecruteak City.
In All About Arceus II, Lance revealed that he had chosen the Pokéathlon Dome as the meeting place in order to show Arceus how hard humans and Pokémon can work together.
==Trivia==
*The in-game map gives the impression that the Pokéathlon Dome is completely inland, despite the fact that both the overworld and the official map of Johto released for HeartGold and SoulSilver show that it is surrounded by water on three sides.
