Although they are legendary Pokémon, there are 5 Pokémon in Pokémon Platinum that will roam the land of Sinnoh once their event has been activated. The best way to track them down is to go between two routes quickly until they are in the same one as you. Three of them originally are not native to Sinnoh
| Unlike the 2nd and 3rd generation games, the running Pokémon in Platinum are detectable using the Marking Map Application on the Pokétch. With this, you can easily pin down the Pokémon you want and just wait until its in the route you want it to be. Then you can pounce and try your luck at capture |
