Items

Continue east from Route 220. Fight the male Swimmer, and continue east until you reach land. Head east on the northern section Route 221, stopping at the Level House (see below) to pick up the Pure Incense which allows you to produce a Chingling Egg when breeding Chimecho. When you reach the Pal Park (inaccessible until after you defeat the Elite Four), head back along the southern part of the route, collecting all the items you missed when travelling on the northern part. Now that you're finished here, it's time to Fly back to Jubilife City and head northwest via Route 218 to reach Canalave City.

Level House

The only house located on Route 221 belongs to an old man who will each ask for a Pokémon at a certain random level from 1 to 100 each day. The items he'll give you are the Black Belt, Expert Belt, or Focus Sash. Only one item is given to you out of that particular order when you complete his request, and after he gives you the Focus Sash, the cycle will start over.

For days where the requirement is an extremely high-leveled Pokémon, there isn't much you can do. On some days you might get lucky and be able to use Pokémon from your regular team. For days where low-level Pokémon are needed, the quickest solution is to simply head to an earlier area with an Ultra Ball or two, catch a Pokémon of the appropriate level (if you don't have one in storage already), and bring it to him.

Now that you have Surf, you're able to navigate the rest of Route 218 and reach Canalave City, your next destination. There isn't much to do on this short route except for fighting the Trainers and catch Mr. Mime (this is the only location in Sinnoh where they can be found).

When you enter the guard post separating Route 218 from Canalave City, Professor Rowan's assistant will approach and give you upgrade to your Pokédex. This will allow you to check the differences in appearance between the same Pokémon in their Pokédex entry, such as gender or form differences.

When you first enter Canalave City, be sure to visit the Pokémon Center to heal and prepare your team - when you try to cross the bridge your rival Barry will show up and challenge you to test your skills.

Barry now has a Heracross on his team, but a powerful Flying-type move can easily beat it. Unless you have an especially fast one, avoid using Psychic-type-types as Heracross's Dark-type move Night Slash will counter it. Four members of Barry's team have reached their highest evolutionary form, but they shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as your party is at least at Level 35 and has good type coverage. After the battle, Barry will rant a bit (as usual) before heading off towards the library.

The Move Deleter resides in the house just north of the Poké Mart. He will be able to remove any unwanted moves in your Pokémon's present moveset including HM moves. This is the only way for a Pokémon to forget a HM.

The southernmost house on the west side of town belongs to a Sailor named Eldritch, who handles the ferry in town. Nothing important will happen here until the post-game after obtaining the National Pokédex. Eldritch is waiting near his boat at the dock nearby, and he can take you to Iron Island.

You also have the option of challenging the Canalave Gym if you want, but let's go to Iron Island first for some training, as Barry suggests. Before talking to Eldritch, use Surf to travel south from the wharf to find a hidden area where TM89 (U-turn) is located. Now use the ferry to travel to Iron Island.

Make sure your that party only contains five Pokémon since you'll receive a Pokémon Egg toward the end of the maze. Make sure your team is well-balanced and has Fire-, Flying-, Ground-, Water-, and Fighting-type moves, since they will be helpful here in the long run. Use the Dowsing Machine on your Pokétch to find a hidden Star Piece that you can exchange at Fuego Ironworks for colored shards. Interior Star Pieces will regenerate each day.

At the entrance to the mine you'll meet a man named Riley, who will give you HM04 (Strength). He mentions he is training inside and proposes you join him. While receiving the HM is the only required part of your mission here, you'll find some good items, get valuable training, and an extremely rare Pokémon if you explore the whole mine.

Riley will team up with you further on, but you're on your own for the first portion of Iron Island's mine. From the entrance room, first go down the stairs leading left.

In the west side of B1F there are just two items and a single Trainer. One of these items is the Protector which can evolve Rhydon into Rhyperior if it is held while traded. Afterwards, return to 1F and this time use the right-hand stairs to reach the east side of B1F.

On the right-hand side of B1F, you will again face one Trainer and find some more items, including another hidden Star Piece. Make sure to keep an eye on your bearings here since it is easy to get lost in this maze. You need to stay on the correct path to find the items and get to the small elevator that will take you down to B2F. Once again, there are two pathways. Since Riley can be found by taking the left stairs, let's go right first so afterwards Riley can heal your team.
