How to Access Ribbon Syndicate

Defeat Cynthia and Go to Battle Zone

The Ribbon Syndicate is located in the Resort Area of the Battle Zone. You need to defeat Cynthia and become the Champion to get to this island.

The fastest way to get to the Resort Area from the Fight Area is by surfing through Route 230. Go east until reaching Route 229 then head immediately south to reach the Resort Area.

How to Get to the Battle Zone

Acquire 10 Ribbons

The Ribbon Syndicate is the big building with the purple roof on the east side of the Resort Area. To access the Ribbon Syndicate, a Pokemon in your party needs to have at least 10 Ribbons so you can enter the building. The fastest way to get Ribbons would be by winning Master Rank shows in Super Contests in Hearthome City.

Use Spa to Boost Friendship

Like the Massage Girl in Veilstone City, you can use the Spa once per day to boost friendship between you and your Pokemon. Unlike the Massage Girl, the Spa can also boost the friendship between you and an Egg, so that the Pokemon hatches with increased friendship.

The Spa is located on the second floor of the Ribbon Syndicate.
