Where To Find the Massage Girl in Pokémon Platinum

The Massage Girl NPC in Pokémon Platinum

You can find the Massage Girl in the southwestern corner of Veilstone City. She’s inside a house directly south of the Veilstone Gym.

Once per day, the Massage Girl will offer to give a free massage to a Pokémon in your party. This earns you a fashion accessory as well as a slight boost to that Pokémon’s Friendship stat.

The Massage Girl’s boyfriend is the Scarf Guy in Pastoria City.

Locating the Massage Girl

You can visit the Massage Girl at any point after first arriving in Veilstone City.

To find her, start by heading south from the Veilstone Pokémon Center.

What Do Massages Do?

Once per day, you can ask the Massage Girl to give a massage to one Pokémon from your party.

Getting massages from the Massage Girl serves two purposes:

  • It slightly raises a Pokémon’s Friendship stat by +3
  • It earns you a free fashion accessory

To get a massage, simply speak to the Massage Girl and select “Yes”.

It doesn’t matter much which Pokémon you choose, but Pokémon with lower Friendship stats have the most to gain from the pampering.

Getting a massage boosts a Pokémon’s Friendship stat by 3 points. This is about the same boost to Friendship that a Pokémon gets when it gains a single level.

Massage Accessories

The Massage Girl will also find a random fashion accessory on your Pokémon during the massage, which she will hand to you afterwards.

Fashion accessories can be used to decorate your Pokémon in Super Contests. And the accessories that the Massage Girl gives you can’t be found anywhere else in the game.

Her accessories are listed below:

  • Pretty Dewdrop
  • Snow Crystal
  • Sparks
  • Shimmering Fire
  • Mystic Fire
  • Determination
  • Peculiar Spoon
  • Puffy Smoke
  • Poison Extract
  • Wealthy Coin
  • Eerie Thing
  • Spring
  • Seashell
  • Humming Note
  • Shiny Powder
  • Glitter Powder

Visiting the Massage Girl is one of the easiest ways to raise a Pokémon’s Friendship until you’re allowed into the Ribbon Syndicate, where massages earn far more Friendship points.
