To fully complete the Dex, you need to have the national Pokedex finished as well. This is not possible until you have found the 151 pokemon in the Sinnoh Dex. This also leaves around 343 pokemon to be found still.

When searching for pokemon, they don’t all have to be caught. You merely need to see them in a battle or in the wild to add them to your dex.

Once you have found all the pokemon in the Sinnoh Dex, the National Dex should unlock. You need to talk to Professor Rowan in his lab at the Sandgem Tower for him to upgrade your dex to the national dex. 

The Battle Tower is an epic place to test out and practice Pokemon Battles. All Pokemon levels are made equal, and the battles come in two kinds. You have a single battle, three pokemon vs. another three, or double battles are four vs. four.

Legendary pokemon are forbidden from joining these battles as they are too strong. In the tower, you will face multiple NPCs. To challenge someone, you need to speak to the woman at the center counter of the hall.

You then choose between a single or double battle, and you move on to the battle. You will have seven opponents line up to face you and you need to beat them all. As you win, you build a winning streak. Once you reach 49 wins, you get placed in the master class.
