The only way to get Manaphy without cheating or transferring is by trading for one.
to get Manaphy without cheating, you have to have Pokemon Ranger, beat a certain mission, and then somehow transfer the Manaphy egg to Diamond or Pearl.
That is the only way to get a manaphy without cheating. once you get the egg in Pokemon Ranger then trade it to diamond/pearl/platinum and when it hatches then you have got a manaphy.
You can't get a Phinoe without cheating since the event to obtain a Manaphy (Phinoe's parent) has passed. Of course, you could always get a friend with action replay to trade you one, since it is very easy to obtain the Manaphy Egg with an Action Replay.
You can only catch Manaphy by transferring with 1 of the Pokémon Ranger games but if you only want Manaphy for your Sinnoh Dex in Platinum then there's a book in the Pokémon Mansion in Mr. Backlot's room that will add Manaphy to your Sinnoh Dex in Pokémon Platinum.
By Pokemon rangers or cheating
Unfortunately, you cannot catch manaphy in Pokemon platinum without cheating, which, I usually vote against, because it can easily corrupt your file and damage your game. You can always trade with someone who has it.
Well you cant really get Manaphy without cheating or trading but you can find it. Go to Hearthome city and then down and you should be on Route 212. Go down until you see a house. Go in the house and go to the first room on your right. Examine the book and then you have found Manaphy
you needed to get a manaphy when the event was on or by cheating. then breed it with another manaphy or a ditto at a daycare and it will hatch a phione
Evolving PhionePhione doesn't evolve into Manaphy nor into anything else. The only way you can get a Manaphy is by trading from another Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, or transferring one from Pokemon Ranger.
u get it fromthe dude in the mart ):by cheating:)
The only way to get a Manaphy is by trading it from from a copy of Diamond,Pearl,Platinum or use a cheating system, such as Action Replay,or Gameshark. Or you could get it from Pokemon ranger by getting a manaphy egg
I do not Know how to get Manaphy with cheating, but I do know how to get it without cheating. First you will need: A Pokemon that knows Surf, acess to Cinnabar Island, A super Rod, and a MasterBall. Now go to Cinnabar Island and Run directly south of the Gym sign and surf to the rock in front. Next turn left and use the Super Rod alot and Manaphy should appear. It is level 100 so that's why you need a MasterBall.This only works with LeafGreen/FireRed V1.1
