What is the earliest I can get a Reaper Cloth in Platinum?

Question

I ideally want to evolve my Dusclops before Candice, because I want to use its Shadow Punch to bypass Froslass' evasion shenanigans but I'd prefer to have the higher defense and attack, so what is the earliest way to get a Reaper Cloth (that isn't luck-based like a lottery ticket or requires interacting with another game like trading)?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you can't get reaper cloth before Candice. According to this, the soonest you can get the cloth as at Acruity Lakefront which can only be accessed after being able to use rock climb outside of battle

In Platinum, the entrance is elevated, requiring the player to defeat Candice in order to be able to use Rock Climb.
