Floaroma Town

Floaroma Town

Once you reach Floaroma Town, you still need to head north on Route 205 to reach the site of your second Gym Match. However, first you will need to defeat Team Galactic at the Valley Windworks first. Floaroma Town is also the first area in the game where you are able to pick and grow berries. Pick the berries in the front of the Flower Shop. If you go into the house next to the Flower shop on the left and talk to the little girl inside and agree with her statement, she will give you TM88 (Pluck)

Free Berries Available

This flower shop is the only important building in Floaroma Town. Enter the Flower Shop and talk to the lady on the far left, to obtain the Sprayduck. Also talk to the lady on the right, to get one random berry each day. The Lady at the counter will trade an Accessory for a couple of berries, with the amount of berries from small to large depending on the accessory purchased.

Path to Floaroma Meadow

Head to the exit of the town. Before going on to Route 205, you'll see a sign and a path between the flowers. The path leads to the northwest corner of the town, which is the entrance of Floaroma Meadow. 2 Galactic Grunts are blocking the entrance, so move on to Route 205 for now.

Route 205 (Part 1)

Walk east, and the bridge towards Eterna Forest will be blocked by another 2 Galactic Grunts. Also, a crying girl can be found. The girl would talk about her father being taken as hostage by Team Galactic. Head east to Valley Windworks to rescue her father from the Galactic Grunts.

Valley Windworks
Ecological, Wind-Driven Energy

Here, a special Pokémon Drifloon, can be found only on Fridays. But it won't appear until after Team Galactic is defeated in the Valley Windworks building (If Team Galactic is defeated on a Friday Drifloon will not appear).

In the entrance to the Valley Windworks, a Galactic Grunt will be blocking the door. Defeat him, and he will lock the door. What to do?

The grunt said that the grunts blocking the Floaroma Meadow have the other key, so head back to Floaroma Town. But before that, you can catch 3 new Pokemon: Shellos, Buizel and Pachirisu. The first 2 are both Template:Type2, while the last one is Template:Type2.

Back to Floaroma Town

Head back to the northwest corner of Floaroma Town. The grunts are gone. Head inside.

Floaroma Meadow (Southern part)

You'll see two Galactic Grunts hassling a man for honey. Talk to them to fight them. You are going to fight them back-to-back.

After defeating them, the man will give you a Works Key and some Honey. Follow the path between the flowers. You will find a golden tree(a bark) and a house. The honey can be slathered on a golden tree, to attract Pokémon, and after around 6 hours a Pokémon will appear. The trees are scattered throughout Sinnoh and after 24 hours have passed they will disappear from the tree.

You can talk to the man on the field anytime you wish to purchase addition Honey from him for $100 each. When you are ready, head to Valley Windworks again.

Back to Valley Windworks

With the Works Key from Floaroma Meadow, you can open the door. There will be a few grunts inside, including the Team Galactic Commander Mars, one of the 3 commanders of Team Galactic. The only difficulty to deal with is that Mars has a Purugly, that has a high (Physical) Attack stat. Due to its weak defenses, a Monferno, or Machop should be able to defeat it by using some Template:Type2 moves like Mach Punch or Karate Chop. Also using Bibarel or Staravia can help.



After the battle Mars is furious over her loss, but knows that it makes no difference as they collected enough data already, you will talk to the scientist a little bit about how Team Galactic were using the windworks for something, just as his daughter arrives and reunites with him. Afterwards return to Route 205 and the Galactic Grunts should be gone.

Route 205 (Part 2)

Head north across the bridge towards Eterna Forest. Climb up the hill while facing enemy trainers to reach a cabin that you can use to heal your team if necessary. Since you can't use Cut outside of battle yet, your only choice is to head into Eterna Forest to reach the other side of Route 205.

Eterna Forest

Right at the beginning of Eterna Forest, a woman named Cheryl will join you and ask you to go through the forest with her, because she is afraid of Team Galactic.



During your travels through the Eterna Forest, you will mostly have to deal with trainers that if lined up correctly will challenge you to a double battle. At the end of Eterna Forest, the Old Chateau can be found. It can only be accessed by using the move Cut. After the National Dex is obtained, a Rotom can be found inside a room on the top floor, located in the TV.

Note that the wild battles will be double battles as well. To catch one Pokémon, you must knock out the other, otherwise it is "impossible to aim". You can come back after Cheryl is escorted, and then wild battles are single. It is also possible to train here and even help with level up your weaker Pokémon due to the fact that your Pokémon are completely healed after a battle whenever someone travels with you. But remember that once Cheryl leaves you, this will no longer work.

The forest is also home to the Moss Rock that can evolve Eevee into Leafeon.
