Spiritomb has a notoriously difficult encounter condition, especially in DPPt. You need to get the Odd Keystone from a Black Belt west of Hearthome City, talk to 32 different real human people in the Underground, then interact with the Hallowed Tower on Route 209. Only then will a Spiritomb appear to battle and catch.

It’s easier in BDSP because you need to talk to 32 differently named NPCs instead of other players, but it still sounds like a total chore.

Well, my good friend Nate really wanted a Spiritomb when he was a kid, so he hatched a scheme.

He would get to Route 209 on his Platinum cartridge.

On his Diamond cartridge, he would play through up until he could go into the Underground—that is, reach Eterna City.

Have his Platinum trainer and Diamond trainer interact in the Underground.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 thirty-one more times. Yeah. Really.

He got to Eterna City once in Diamond before giving up because he realized how unbearable completing this would be. What he didn’t realize at the time was that he gave his future friend from college a leg up in Nuzlockes.

My current philosophy for “cheating” in Nuzlockes is essentially, if I could accomplish or acquire something for certain of I just invested enough time, I get to hack it in. Rare candies, PKHex for instant friendship and trade evolutions, TMs from the Game Corner without any gambling, etc. I just need to be at the point in the game where I could accomplish the thing with enough time before I can hack it in.

My first two Nuzlockes of Platinum were on my authentic cartridge, so there was no cheating involved. I dismissed the idea of getting Spiritomb out of hand. In the hardcore-but-with-3-items run that I abandoned in favor of a proper hardcore run, Spiritomb was nowhere in my mind. Besides, I was still getting the hang of using hacks and I was using them fairly stingily.

But this time, my attitude with hacks is much more liberal. PKHex has been my friend this run (again, only changing things I could if I put in enough time). So I was scrolling through the hack list to find anything time-saving when I found one that would bypass the 32-person requirement. And it occurred to me, “Wait. Nate’s strategy to get Spiritomb would have worked if he had put enough time into it.” I activated the hack and, well…

Dude, this bastard is mean. It has above average stats and strong coverage moves. This typing in Gen IV has 3 immunities, 1 resistance, and 0 weaknesses. And you can catch it as soon as Solaceon town. That is fucking wild. DJ Bad Deeds has been a staple on my team for the entire run since I caught him. I know what I’m doing next run too.
