  • Get the Odd Keystone from the hidden trainer on Route 208. He is hiding southeast of the honey tree behind the trees.
  • Go to Route 209 and insert the Odd Keystone into the crumbled Hallowed Tower just beyond the bridges.
  • Travel the Grand Underground and speak to 32 different named NPCs. Hikers do not count towards this total.
  • Return to the Hallowed Tower and Spiritomb will appear.

Once you encounter Spiritomb, you can either capture it or knock it out. Regardless of which option you select, you can encounter Spiritomb again by speaking to the 32 named NPCs in the Grand Underground.

If you are having trouble finding the 32 named NPCs, we recommend using this interactive map to find them. You should also keep track of which NPCs you have talked to. Speaking to the hollow tower will give you a different text depending on how many NPCs you have spoken to.
