Master the Pokemon Mansion Maid Knockout Challenge in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl! Learn how to defeat the maids in the exact number of turns and steal Rare Candies from the Rich Boy Liam or Lady Celeste.
Hey there! So, you're looking to tackle the Maid Knockout Challenge in the Pokemon Mansion on Route 212? It's a pretty neat little sidequest that was added in Platinum, and it's a fun way to snag some Rare Candies. In older games, the maids would just block the path, but here, you get to battle them and a special trainer!
Here's the lowdown: You'll face five maids, and each one has a Clefairy. The catch? You have to defeat them within a specific number of turns, and this number changes daily. Don't sweat it too much, though! The first four Clefairys can usually be taken out in a single hit. For the fifth maid, you'll want to use non-damaging moves to stall and hit the exact turn count needed. This is important because if you mess up the turn count, you won't get to face the final trainer.
There's another big rule: you can't switch out your Pokémon during this challenge. This means the same Pokémon you use to battle the maids will be the one you use to try and steal the Rare Candy from the final trainer using the move Thief. So, pick your fighter wisely!
- 1Head to the Pokemon Mansion on Route 212. Look for a hallway on the left side.
- 2You'll find a maid blocking the door. Talk to her to initiate the challenge.
- 3Battle through the five maids, keeping a close eye on the turn count. Remember, the first four can be one-hit KOs, but you'll need to stall with the fifth to meet the daily turn requirement.
- 4If you nail the turn count, you'll get to face a special trainer: Rich Boy Liam or Lady Celeste.
- 5This final trainer has a Blissey, and here's the best part: you can use the move Thief to steal a Rare Candy from them!
- Make sure the Pokémon you use for the challenge knows the move Thief if you want to snag that Rare Candy from the final trainer.
- Consider attaching an Amulet Coin to your Pokémon. You'll get a decent chunk of money from battling the maids and the final trainer, especially with the coin boosting your earnings.
- A reader named Abe pointed out that you can steal a Rare Candy from the Blissey *every time* you fight this trainer, so it's a great spot to stock up!
