Discover Amity Square in Pokémon Platinum! Learn which Pokémon you can bring, find valuable TMs, the Spooky Plate, Amulet Coin, and how to get contest items by walking with your Pokémon.
Hey there! So, you've made it to Hearthome City and are probably wondering about that little park in the north part of town – Amity Square. It's a pretty unique spot in Pokémon Platinum. Unlike most places, you won't be battling wild Pokémon or trainers here. Instead, it's a chill area where you can actually walk around with one of your Pokémon out of its ball!
Now, not every Pokémon can join you for a stroll. You'll need to pick from a specific list. In the Sinnoh region, you can bring out Pokémon like Pikachu, Psyduck, Pachirisu, Buneary, Drifloon, Clefairy, Happiny, and the starter Pokémon from Sinnoh (Turtwig, Grotle, Torterra, Chimchar, Monferno, Infernape, Piplup, Prinplup, Empoleon). If you've managed to get the National Pokédex, a few more friends become available: Skitty, Torchic, Shroomish, and Jigglypuff.
So, what's the point of Amity Square? Well, there are a couple of cool reasons. First off, you can snag some useful items just lying around. Keep an eye out for TM43 (Secret Power) and TM45 (Attract). You can also find the Spooky Plate here, which is great for Ghost-type Pokémon or if you want to change Arceus's type. But the real prize? The Amulet Coin is hidden somewhere in the buildings in the northeast part of the park. Don't miss that!
The second, and maybe more interesting, purpose is how you get contest items. It's a bit of a mini-game! First, you'll need to walk at least 200 steps with your Pokémon out in the square. Using the Pedometer accessory can help keep track. Once you've hit that step count, chat with your Pokémon. It might just give you a random contest item, ranging from common to pretty rare ones. Some contest items are exclusive to this method, so it's definitely worth doing!
Plus, you have a good chance of finding berries while you're exploring. Different Pokémon can yield different items, so it's fun to experiment. Here’s a breakdown of what some Pokémon might give you:
| Pokemon | Common Items | Uncommon items | Rare Items |
| Happiny | Pink Scale | Big Leaf | Black Stone |
| Buneary | Shed Horn Shed Claw Snaggy Pebble Black Fluff Pink Fluff Yellow Feather Pamtre Berry Cornn Berry Nomel Berry Magost Berry | Jagged Boulder Green Scale | |

It's interesting to note that many of the Pokémon that can give you items are ones you can only get after obtaining the National Pokédex. They often share item pools with their Sinnoh-region counterparts.
