| 1 | Route 129 – Dive spot underwater (hidden) | No |
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Lustrous Orb is hidden in an underwater trench on Route 129. So you’ll need Dive to get it.
The Lustrous Orb is Palkia’s Legendary item, which is an item tied to a particular Legendary Pokémon. If Palkia holds the Lustrous Orb, it boosts the power of Dragon and Water-type attacks by 20%.
Location
The Lustrous Orb is a hidden item that won’t be visible in the overworld. Since you can’t use the Dowsing Machine underwater, you’ll need to tap the A button in the general location of where the item is supposed to be until you get it.
Before leaving to get the Lustrous Orb, make sure you’ve first:
- Obtained the seventh Gym Badge from Liza and Tate
- Have a Pokémon with HM03 Surf
- Have a Pokémon with HM07 Dive
If you’re all set, start by flying over to Route 129.
Step 1: Surf going south onto the water, then use Dive to go underwater in the nearby diving spot (pictured below).
Step 2: Once you’re underwater, go east, then start moving upwards toward the patch of seaweed by the north wall.
Step 3: Interact with the Lustrous Orb hidden in the top-right corner up ahead. The orb will not be visible, but it will be located on a tile behind the square block of seaweed.
Uses
The Lustrous Orb is definitely a good option for Palkia since it significantly boosts already powerful moves like Hydro Pump, Draco Meteor, and Spacial Rend.
Life Orb is also a great alternative for Palkia if you want more damage at the cost of a bit of HP.
