Appendix:Diamond and Pearl walkthrough/Section 16

Before proceeding......

Make sure that you are fully prepared! A tough and long journey is up ahead.

Routes 216-217 are very long(longer than Route 212). The weather condition will be very bad. On Route 216, Acuity Lakefront and Snowpoint City, the weather will be snowy. The situation on Route 217 will be even worse -- there is a blizzard!

When a battle is triggered in the above-mentioned places, the weather condition will immediately switch from snowing/blizzard condition to hailing for unknown reasons. The hail will damage all Pokemon except Template:Type2 Pokemon.

Make sure that you have done the following things before going on:

• Buy a lot of healing items.
  • Buy at least 20 for each necessary healing items. (excluding different versions of Potions because these are expensive)
    • Buying 25 to 30 for each is recommended.
  • To save money, don't buy Super Potions. Also, buy as few Potions and Hyper Potions as possible.
    • Buy the cheaper Drinks such as bottles of Fresh Water, Soda Pop, Moomoo Milk and cans of Lemonade instead of different versions of Potions, which are more expensive (especially Super Potions).
      • You can buy bottles of Fresh Water, Soda Pop and cans of Lemonade on 5/F in Veilstone Department Store.
      • You can buy bottles of Moomoo Milk in Cafe Cabin on Route 210, near Route 215 entrance.
• Heal your Pokemon.
• Bring Pokemon with the following HM moves.
  • Surf
  • Strength
  • Defog
  • Rock Smash
• Train your Pokemon until they are at above Level 35.
  • Having your Pokemon at around Level 40 is recommended.
  • If your Pokemon are at or below Level 35, don't even dare to proceed!
    • Iron Island is a good training place.
