How to Get the Manaphy Egg in Pokémon Ranger

Last Updated: June 29, 2021

You have all the Pokémon in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl except for one. This Pokémon is Manaphy, and it can only be obtained by owning Pokémon Ranger. If you press just the right buttons and use a cheat code, you can have your own Manaphy Egg as well.

Steps

1
Put your game Pokémon Ranger into your DS system and turn it on.
2
Complete the Continue Missions in Pokémon Ranger. Afterwards, you should have a new feature on the title screen; Ranger Net.

Question

I'm playing on a secondhand copy of the game. Can I definitely obtain an egg?

Community Answer

It's hard to say. Because this method was so secretive, there's a solid chance that the previous owner never did this. That being said, you can only do it once per cartridge, even if you delete the save file, so there's no guarantee. If you have a 3DS with homebrew software, you can use a program called Checkpoint to completely wipe the save off of a cartridge, but it is not sure it'll work.

Warnings

Do not turn off Pokémon Ranger in the middle of sending the egg. Doing so may result in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum not receiving the Egg, and Pokémon Ranger losing the ability to send and/or view the egg.
