Route 212

The south part of this route is rainy. There will be rainstorms and thunderstorms on some days. Near the eastern end of the route is a house. There is a woman who used to work in Hoenn's Weather Institute who will trade TMs for weather-changing moves for shards. The route is also full of narrow paths suspended in the air. To get across them, you must ride a Bicycle over the narrow path. Near Pastoria City, you may get stuck in the bog, just like the marshy areas in Great Marsh. The north part of this route features Sinnoh's Pokémon Mansion. You can catch a Pichu or a Pikachu there.

There are many trainers in this route, so if you can't defeat Pastoria Gym, this is a decent training place. Even if you have defeated the Gym, go through this route to toughen up your Pokemon, because the upcoming Gym battle will be a lot tougher.

Keep going west until you must turn. Then turn north until you reach the guardhouse. Stop by Pokemon Mansion if you want.

Trainer Tips

Pokemon Mansion

The Pokémon Mansion is the home of the famous Trophy Garden, which is located to the rear. That is the place for catching Pichu or Pikachu.

It has many rooms, with the most important of them being Mr. Backlot's office. That room is also home to an expensive Pokémon statue, which is guarded by a policeman. It can, however, be touched when the guard has break (from 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM). A butler and many maids are employed in the Mansion. The western and eastern exits of the mansion are blocked by the maids.

Trophy Garden

You can catch a Pichu or even a Pikachu. This isn't a good training place, however.
