Achievement: Catch Spiritomb
When:
Hallowed Tower
How:
A lot of people are frustrated because they can't catch Spiritomb.
Well, remember that crumbling tower thing south of Solaceon Town?
If you go west from Hearthome City, go through the little building, and go south as soon as you can, there will be one of those "Black Belt" trainer guys.
However, he isn't a trainer. Talk to him to get the Hallowed Key.
Now, talk to 32 people underground. (Not those Hiker guys that trade stuff for Spheres-they don't count.)
An easy way to do this is to get a friend, go underground, talk to him, then go back up, go back down, talk to him.... (It does take a long time, but it's faster than meeting with him every week or so and talking to him once!)
Once you do that, go to that crumbling pillar south of Solaceon Town. Press A on it, and a message will come up saying that you place the Hallowed Key into the tower.
The Hallowed Tower is restored!
Now, press A on it again (you may need to do this at night) and Spiritomb will appear.
You only have 1 chance to catch him!
NOTE: You can also dig up the Hallowed Key underground once you get it from that black belt guy.
I am not sure if you must talk to 32 more people underground again for a second chance, as I caught him the first time I saw him and saw no need to catch him again.
So there you have it- Spiritomb! He's Ghost/Dark like Sableye, so nothing is supereffective against him. Plus, Psychic and Fighting- type moves have no effect! He starts at Lv25 though, so you probably want to level him up a bit before you do a lot of battling with him.
I am not sure if you must beat the Elite Four before you catch him or even get the Hallowed Key.

Easier way to get accessoires

Go to Veilstone city, take the route to the gym but before you get there, there's a staircase, go up there, go in the first house, talk to the lady. She will ask you if you would let her massage one of your pokemon. When she's done, she will find an accessorie. There is another way for easy accessories. Go to Hearthome City, go to amity square, in order to get inside amity square, you got to have any of the following pokemon {Pikachu, Clefairy, Psyduck, Pachirisu, Happiny, Buneary, Drifloon, Jigglypuff, Torchic, Skitty, or Shroomish}. You have to take a certain amount of steps in order to get an accessories. You have to face the pokemon, press A, it will say "look [name of pokemon] is holding something". For some pokemon, it may take 100 steps, for others it takes 200 steps, or a few pokemon it takes 300 steps. The accessories you get will really help you in contests.Hope I helped.
