Platinum Darkrai Event

July 30, 2009
The official Pokemon Platinum website has revealed that the Member Card item will be made available to those with the Platinum Version. Starting August 3rd, trainers can connect to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection through Mystery Gift and download the Member Card into their Platinum Version. The Member Card will allow you to enter the Harbor Inn at Canalave City and sail to Newmoon Island, where you'll be able to find and catch Darkrai. This is the only way to catch Darkrai within the game. It isn't specified, but this may be available only to North American versions of the Platinum Version. Below are the steps you need to take to get to Newmoon Island and Darkrai.

1.If you haven't done so, activate the Mystery Gift feature on your game by talking to the TV Producer on the third floor of the Jubilife TV building. He'll ask you two questions, and you must answer with the following in the exact order. First, answer "Everyone Happy". Second, answer "Wi-Fi Connection". Once you save the game and view the opening menu, you'll see MYSTERY GIFT has been added.

2.To download the Member Card, just select MYSTERY GIFT, then select RECEIVE GIFT, and then select GET VIA NINTENDO WFC. Choose YES to receive the Member Card.

3.Go to any Poke Mart and talk to the delivery man in front of the counter to add the Member Card to your Key Items.

4.However, this alone won't get you to Newmoon Island. First, you'll need to have defeated the Elite Four and received the National Pokedex from Professor Rowan.

5.Save Sailor Eldritch's sick son in Canalave City by sailing to Fullmoon Island and bringing back the Lunar Wing item Cresselia leaves behind after fleeing.

6.Once Eldritch's son is saved, he'll be happy to take you to Newmoon Island from the Harbor Inn.

7.Find and catch Darkrai
