Where to Find the Odd Keystone: First things first, you need the Odd Keystone. Head to Route 208, and make your way towards the gatehouse that leads to Hearthome City. Look for a Black Belt NPC chilling in the bottom-right corner of the route, right near a Honey Tree. Chat with him, and he'll give you the Odd Keystone. Easy peasy!

Where to Find the Hallowed Tower: With the Odd Keystone in hand, your next stop is Route 209. This route is just east of Hearthome City. As you travel through it, keep an eye out for a rather peculiar-looking structure – that's the Hallowed Tower. Once you find it, you'll get a prompt to place the Odd Keystone inside. Go ahead and do that!

How to Encounter Spiritomb: Now for the trickiest part. After placing the Odd Keystone, you need to head into the Grand Underground. Your mission here is to talk to at least 32 *unique* NPCs. Make sure they have actual names; the nameless ones don't count towards your total. Once you've chatted with all 32, head back to the Hallowed Tower on Route 209. Touching it will trigger a wild Spiritomb encounter, giving you the chance to battle and catch it!
- The wild Spiritomb you'll face is Level 25. It knows moves like Hex and Payback, and can boost its Special Attack with Nasty Plot. It also has Spite to drain your PP.
- Spiritomb has a really interesting typing, meaning most attacks will only do neutral damage. Normal-type moves won't affect it at all, and Poison-type moves will only do half damage.
- Be careful not to use Fairy-type moves against it, as those are super-effective and could lead to you accidentally knocking it out before you can catch it!
- A chance to catch the rare Spiritomb!
