Route 212

There are two parts to Route 212. The southern part has a constant downpour, and the northern has the Pokémon Mansion.

Northern Part

Pokémon Mansion

The Pokémon Mansion

The mansion owned by Mr. Backlot. It is also the home of the famous Trophy Garden, which is located to the rear. It has many rooms, with the most important of them being Mr. Backlot's office, which is where a Pokémon statue guarded by a policeman is located. However, the guard is on break from 2 A.M. until 6 A.M., leaving you free to touch the statue. Manaphy's data can be recorded (as a seen Pokémon) from the book lying on Mr. Backlot's desk. Other rooms in the mansion have beds, which you can used to rest yourself along with your Pokémon. You may fight the maids in the 5-Maid Knockout Exact-Turn Attack Challenge, in which five maids must be beaten in a certain number of turns (no more, no less). The prize for winning the challenge is a duel with either Lady Celeste or Rich Boy Liam.

The western and eastern exits of the mansion are blocked by the maids. Neither of these doorways are functional, and only serve as decoration.


The interior of the mansion


Trophy Garden

There are many Pokémon that can be found here without any interaction with the Trophy Garden's owner, Mr. Backlot. All of these Pokémon are in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and many can be found in other areas. After you have gotten the National Pokédex upgrade, however, Pokémon that do not otherwise appear in Sinnoh will be placed in the Trophy Garden by Backlot's butler to cover up for his fibs, with a different one there daily. The last two Pokémon placed in the garden at any given time will remain available until more Pokémon are placed in the garden.



Southern Part

One of the three move tutors in this location, offering to tutor moves in exchange for shards. The route is also full of narrow paths suspended in the air. To get across them, you'll have to ride a Bicycle over the narrow path. As the route approaches Pastoria City, you may get stuck in the marshy areas.
