How to Get Platinum Outfits Mystery Gift

Candice's Abomasnow Knows Blizzard

Candice's strongest Pokemon Abomasnow is depicted attacking with Blizzard in the trailer. Originally, Candice's Abomasnow's signature move was Avalanche, which was the TM given by Candice for defeating her. This could possibly indicate the TM reward for defeating Candice is now Blizzard.

Faithful Recreation of Last 2 Gyms

Snowpoint City Gym

Sunyshore City Gym

Other than the Abomasnow using Blizzard, the Snowpoint and Sunyshore Gyms look to be faithful recreations of the originals in terms of the gyms' layouts and mazes—Snowpoint with its icy floor and large perishable snowballs, and Sunyshore with its rotating gears.

Returning Team Galactic Characters

The 3 Galactic Commanders—Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn—finally make their debut in BDSP marketing, along with their respective signature Pokemon. Another look at the battle with Galactic Boss Cyrus is shown, this time with his Weavile.

The Commanders' lead Pokemon have different moves

Snarl

Toxic

Commander Jupiter's Skuntank is depicted using the move Snarl, which was a move that first appeared in Generation 5 (after the original Diamond & Pearl's and Platinum's releases). Similarly, Commander Jupiter's Toxicroak is shown using Toxic, which wasn't in its original learnset either.

Lake Guardians Unveiled

Sinnoh Lake Guardians
Azelf	Uxie	Mesprit

The trailer also offers the first look at Sinnoh's legendary Lake Guardians, Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit.
