After the Grunts leave, this cavern leads further to B1F, an area blanketed in a dense fog where a large underground lake is located. In Platinum, until the player defeats Mars at Lake Verity, two Galactic Grunts block the way north. The northern 1F 1 is vastly different from the southern cavern, with no pools of water on the ground floor, and requiring Rock Smash and Strength to navigate between the two halves of Route 211 and toward Route 216. The way to Spear Pillar goes through 4F 1, back outside, into 4F 3, and finally up 5F and 6F. This outer area features constant hail, much like Routes 216 and 217, as well as many hardy Pokémon adapted to living in this harsh environment. Eventually the player will make his or her way outside of the snowy mountain. A cave painting 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, which is in Veilstone City. However, to visit the Spear Pillar, the player must use Surf and Rock Climb here and navigate the increasingly complex 2F and 3F. It is a simple cavern that requires no HMs to pass through. It is here where the player will first meet Cyrus in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and meet him for a second time in Pokémon Platinum. Mount Coronet's southern 1F 1 leads between Route 207 and Route 208 and features several elevated rock formations as well as several pools of water. Its place in Sinnoh has caused variation in the species of Shellos and Gastrodon, which have different coloration depending on the side of Sinnoh they are native to.

A stained glass window in the Foreign Building in Hearthome City depicts the mountain with a bright shine, representing the Spear Pillar and possibly depicting the creation of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. The legend of the creation trio is deeply connected to the mountain, as is the plot of Team Galactic.

The Spear Pillar is situated at the highest point, an ancient shrine to Pokémon now only in ruins, with several of its pillars still standing, all pointing skyward. It is perhaps the highest mountain in the entire Pokémon world. It is truly best defined as a mountain range, with the highest peak shrouded in legend. Mount Coronet stands in the middle of Sinnoh, extending from the northern wilderness to the southern tip of the region, splitting it into two halves.

Mount Coronet has a special magnetic field that causes Magneton and Nosepass to evolve into Magnezone and Probopass, respectively, when leveled up here. Arceus created Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina 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. To fully navigate the mountain's caves, Surf, Strength, Defog, Rock Smash, Rock Climb, and Waterfall are required.Īccording to legend, Mount Coronet is where the Sinnoh region began. As a centerpiece of the region, the cave connects Oreburgh City, Eterna City, Hearthome City, Celestic Town, and Snowpoint City via Routes 207, 208, 211, 216, and 217. 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. Most of it is a deep cave, though there are several above-ground areas in which it snows constantly. Coronet prior to Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, is the highest mountain in the Sinnoh region, formerly known as Hisui, part of a long mountain range that divides the region in half.
