Mission Objectives
| Steps to proceed through Seeking the Remaining Plates | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Return to Cogita at the Ancient Retreat to report your progress regarding the last Plates. |
| 2 |  Gather 3 logs of Wood and return to Cogita. You'll be rewarded with the Pixie Plate. ▶ Where to Find Wood and Craftable Items |
| 3 |  Travel to the Coronet Highlands and meet Volo at the Sacred Plaza. |
| 4 |  Follow Volo to the Temple of Sinnoh and defeat him in battle. Save before approaching Volo as you are about to fight 3 consecutive battles. Volo's team consists of a Spiritomb, a Togekiss, a Roserade, a Hisuian Arcanine, a Lucario, and a Garchomp, all at Lv68. |
| 5 |  Right after winning against Volo, Lv70 Giratina will appear and will immediately engage you in battle. You won't be able to capture Giratina for now so your only choice is to defeat its Altered and Origin Forms. If your team gets wiped out by either forms, the battle will start over from Volo. ▶ How to Beat Giratina and Volo |
| 6 |  After finally defeating Giratina, Volo will give you the Spooky Plate, and you will complete the mission. |
| 7 |  You will receive the Azure Flute which can be used to summon Arceus after collecting all 237 Pokemon in the Pokedex. |

Seeking the Remaining Plates Tips and Strategies
Use Fairy, Ice, or Ground Type Moves
Giratina and Volo's team are weak to Fairy-, Ice-, and Ground-type moves. You can make the battle easier by bringing Pokemon that have access to such moves.
Make sure to also add moves that can heal your Pokemon like Draining Kiss and moves that can lower your opponent's stats.

Avoid Using Pokemon Weak to Dragon, Fighting, or Ground-type Moves
Giratina will use Earth Power and Dragon Sphere quite a few times, making it difficult to keep your Pokemon from fainting if they're weak to these types of moves!
Regardless of weaknesses and resistances, these moves can hurt your chances by lowering your stats and giving Giratina's attack a better chance for a critical.
If you chose Cyndaquil as a starter, you may have difficulties against Giratina's Earth Power. Make sure to have a well-balanced team that will cover each of your Pokemon's weaknesses.
Lower Giratina's Stats
It is recommended that you lower Giratina's stats to improve your chances of winning. Many Fairy Type moves can lower both defensive and offensive stats, making it harder for Giratina to take you down quickly.
You will need to do this as the fight will be prolonged when Giratina's second form enters the battlefield. Giratina (Origin Forme) has higher Attack and Special Attack stats so be wary!
Take Advantage of Cresselia's Moves
Cresselia's move, Lunar Blessing allows the Pokemon to heal itself while also increasing its evasion. Doing this can increase the chances of Giratina missing its attacks, thus preventing your party to get wiped out by its strong moves.
It is possible to defeat Giratina by using Cresselia alone by switching between the defensive move Lunar Blessing and its offensive move Moonblast.
After defeating Giratina's Altered Forme, it will change to its Origin Forme and will be significantly stronger. However, the same steps still apply and continue using Fairy type moves to take the Pokemon down.
Use Moves in Strong Style
It is highly recommended to take down Volo's team one by one with a single strike. Otherwise, he will use a Full Restore to heal his Pokemon and prolong the fight.
In order to do this, make sure that your Pokemon has mastered its strongest moves, then attack the opposing Pokemon using Strong Style!
Bring Lots of Max Revives and Full Restores
 Full Restore
|
 Max Revive
|
This series of battles is undeniably tough and it's likely that some of your Pokemon will faint. Because of this, we recommend bringing plenty of Max Revives and Full Restores to get your Pokemon back in the game again after fainting or losing some of its health.
As you're about to beat Volo, make sure to heal your Pokemon one by one since beating him will start the fight with Giratina right away.
