#25 Alarm Clock

Learn how to obtain the rare Alarm Clock item in Pokémon Platinum, a special event-exclusive item for your Nintendo DS.

Hey there! So, you're looking to snag the Alarm Clock in Pokémon Platinum, huh? Well, this is a bit of a tricky one because you actually can't get it through normal gameplay. It was only available during special Nintendo events. But, if you did manage to get one, it's pretty neat! It lets you set an alarm using your DS's real-time clock, which is super handy if you've got a limited time to play and need a reminder to log off.

This guide section is part of a larger look at Ribbons in Pokémon Platinum. Ribbons are a cool way to show off your Pokémon's achievements, and they've been around since the third generation. You can check out any ribbons your Pokémon have by going to their status screen and pressing the D-pad to the right. You'll see a list of their ribbons and what they mean.

Something important to know is that if you transferred Pokémon from a 3rd generation game (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, LeafGreen) to Platinum, their ribbons will come with them! It's a one-way street, so if you have any Pokémon you really want to show off with all their ribbons, it's a good idea to grab as many as you can in the older games before you transfer them over.

The source text also includes a detailed guide to 3rd generation Ribbons and how to get them. While these aren't directly obtainable in Platinum, they give you a good idea of the kinds of achievements that earned ribbons back then:
