Can you still trade and fight online on Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/HG/SS in 2021?

Aug. 9, 2021



Morning everyone!

Some friends and I restarted playing Pokémon Platinum, Diamond, Pearl, HeartGold and SoulSilver recently.

Since most of us are distant from everyone else, we would like to trade and fight online.

Connection works, the game says that we are connected, but in the end we don’t manage to fight.

Thanks in advance!

You should be able to, as there are DNS servers for Gen 4 that allow online trading/battling. Remember if you are using a Giratina with Griseous Orb, Shaymin-Sky Form, or a Rotom form, you cannot connect to a Diamond or Pearl game, because those forms don’t exist in DP.

Gen 4 Wifi connection is already super bad, I would recommend plugging your DS into a computer and setting up a WPA router on your computer

You can also try setting it up with a phone hotspot. The problem for you is the same as the problem for people who can’t get the Mystery Gifts. The Gen 4 internet is just badddddddd.
