    After fighting all the trainers, you should have seen all 150 Pokemon, filling your Dex. If you are missing any, go back and fight any trainers you may have skipped.
    • You don't need to have captured all 150 Pokemon. Seeing them is enough.
    • If you are playing platinum, then you must see all 210 Pokemon.

    Trade with a friend or migrate them from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire or Emerald version. You will not be able to fight Regigigas without them. You should also have:
    • A strong Pokémon (Preferably Breloom or Parasect)
    • 40+ Dusk balls

    When you approach the statue, he will awaken and you can fight him. He is strong but has the Slow Start ability, so use your first five moves to lower his attack and speed stats.
    • Make sure you save before fighting. If Regigigas blacks you out, you run out of balls, or you kill him, you can just switch your DS off and on and try again.
    • If you kill him and you haven't saved your game, you must defeat the Champion again so he will respawn.

    Where do I find the EXP share in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl?
    Community Answer
    In Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, the EXP share can be found in the building at the north of the bike road. Professor Rowan's aide will give it to you if you've seen a certain number of Pokemon.
