Pokémon World Routes ← Route 211 Route 213 →

Route 212 is a route in Sinnoh. Most of this route is raining, much like Route 119 in Generation III. Near the eastern end of the route lives 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, the player has to ride a Bicycle over the narrow path. As the route approaches Pastoria City, the player may get stuck in the marshy areas. This area is only accessible after winning the Cobble Badge from Gym Leader Maylene in Veilstone City.

Trainer Tips

Trivia

• The north-south then east-west directional layout of Route 212 is somewhat similar to Hoenn Routes 120 and 121.
• Occasionally, the southern end of Route 212 will experience a thunderstorm rather than just rain.
  • This is similar to Route 119's weather, though Route 119 is on a four-day cycle whereas Route 212 is not.
• This is the longest route in Sinnoh.
