How to Catch Mudkip in Pokemon Platinum

The "Pokemon" franchise is built to create an interactive dynamic between players, encouraging a trade system to "catch 'em all." Each game has different Pokemon and to complete your set (and fill the Pokedex) you will need to use other "Pokemon" games. Mudkip is not actually available in "Pokemon Platinum," but by using the Pal Park system you can migrate it from the older Game Boy Advance "Pokemon" games.

Things You'll Need

Nintendo DS or DS Lite
"Pokemon Ruby," "Pokemon Sapphire" or "Pokemon Emerald"

Instructions

- 1
  Obtain Mudkip as your starter Pokemon at the beginning of "Pokemon Ruby," "Pokemon Sapphire" or "Pokemon Emerald." You will also need to capture five other Pokemon to migrate over to "Pokemon Platinum."

  Put your Mudkip and the five other Pokemon in Box 1 on a PC in any Pokemon Center.

  Start "Pokemon Platinum" in Slot 1 of your Nintendo DS. The "Pokemon" game that holds your Mudkip should be inserted in Slot 2.
