What is Ramanas Park?

Ramanas Park is a post-game area where you can catch certain Legendary Pokémon from previous generations. It replaces Pal Park in the original Diamond and Pearl games. You can access Ramanas Park after entering the Hall of Fame in the Pokémon League and obtaining the National Pokédex.

Where to Find Ramanas Park

Like the old Pal Park, you can reach Ramanas Park by traveling along Route 221, accessible by heading south from Sandgem Town and cutting through Routes 219 and 220. The Hidden Move Surf is required. However, you cannot enter the actual park until you’re the Champion and have the National Dex.

What to do in Ramanas Park

(1 of 2) The bottom vendor in the gatehouse lets you exchange Mysterious Shards for various Slates.

Within the park, there are various enigmatic rooms, where you can insert Slates purchased from the bottom vendor inside the Ramanas Park gatehouse. These slates require Mysterious Shards, which can be randomly obtained when digging in the Grand Underground.

By placing the correct slate in the pedestal inside the room, you can make Legendary Pokémon appear, then fight and catch them.
