Pokémon Black and White/Route 3 and Wellspring Cave

Route 3
Right near the start of the route, you'll find some Twins that you can battle in your first Double Battle.


 * Twins Kumi and Amy
 * Purrloin (Lv. 10)
 * Purrloin (Lv. 10)
 * [[File:Pokebuck.png]] 160

In the house above the twins talk to the woman how many times you want to have your Pokémon restored. Beside the house is a trainer.


 * Nursery Aide Autumn
 * Lillipup (Lv. 10)
 * Munna (Lv. 10)
 * [[File:Pokebuck.png]] 400

Further left, there are three children, each with an elemental monkey. It's a shame they do not give much money.


 * Preschooler Doyle
 * Panpour (Lv. 10)
 * [[File:Pokebuck.png]] 40


 * Preschooler Wendy
 * Pansear (Lv. 10)
 * [[File:Pokebuck.png]] 40


 * Preschooler Tully
 * Pansage (Lv. 10)
 * [[File:Pokebuck.png]] 40

An Ultra Ball is hidden in the sand near the center. Save this ball for stronger Pokémon. There is also the Day Care, where you can leave a Pokemon to gain one experience point for every step you walk. You can also breed Pokemon, but only after the fourth badge.

 How can I breed Pokemon at the Day-Care?  '''At first, you can only drop off one Pokemon at the Pokemon Day Care, but after you've been to Nimbasa City (where you get your 4th Gym Badge), you'll be able to return here and leave two Pokemon. If you leave a compatible male and female Pokemon here, you'll end up with a Pokemon Egg of the female's species after a little while! Two Pokemon are considered to be compatible if they have at least one Egg Group in common, which you can see in any of the Pokemon's Pokedex entries here on the site.'''

Anyway, as you head west, you'll be stopped by Cheren, who wants to battle you right this instant!

Rival: Cheren 🇨🇴

🇨🇴 🇨🇴

After defeating Cheren in battle, you'll see two Team Plasma Grunts run to the west of Route 3. Bianca and a young girl will follow behind, chasing the grunts. It appears that the Grunts have stole a Pokémon from the girl. Chase the Team Plasma Grunts with Cheren.

As you head west you'll come upon the entrance to Wellspring Cave. According to Cheren the Grunts have fled into the cave. Enter the cave, but be prepared to have some battles.

Wellspring Cave
Once you enter Wellspring Cave you'll see Cheren glaring at Team Plasma and them back at him. As you approch the Grunts will say how a child cannot use a Pokémon to its full potential and will challenge you and Cheren to a battle. It's your chance to win back the girl's Pokémon.


 * Team Plasma Grunt
 * Patrat (Lv. 12)
 * [[File:Pokebuck.png]] 480

After this battle, the other Grunts will appear for a double battle.


 * Team Plasma Grunt and Team Plasma Grunt
 * Patrat (Lv. 12)
 * Patrat (Lv. 12)
 * [[File:Pokebuck.png]] 960

This battle is not too difficult especially if you have Pansear that can cause damage in the two Patrat with Incinerate. Thieves will give up the stolen Pokémon. Cheren will return the pokémon, while you get the TM in the Pokeball. The Pokeball contains Thief, a move that steals the item the foe Pokémon is holding and is a dark type attack.

Pokémon Found in Wellspring Cave
In the cave, there are some new pokes, Roggenrola of rock type, and Woobat the flying and psychic type. Panseage, Panpour, Snivy and Oshawoot can defeat easily Roggenrola. You may want to capture Woobat, which will be exceeded later by another Pokémon, but is still strong and fast.

Back to Route 3
After exiting the cave, go right to battle a trainer.


 * Pokémon Breeder Adelaide
 * Patrat (Lv. 9)
 * Lillipup (Lv. 9)
 * Pidove (Lv. 9)

After winning, you will gain an Oran Berry. In grasses there are new pokes, see bottom of page for more information. Below there will be a Pokeball. Take it for a Repel. Before talking with the girls, take the Pokeball on the grass for a Super Potion. Now talk to the girls. The girl who had stolen his Pokemon will give you three Heal Balls. This type of ball completely cure the captured Pokémon. After that, heal your Pokemon and go back to the route. Further south there is a trainer.

Take an antidote in the grasses behind the trainer. Below, Cheren will appear and talk about the dark grass. No new pokes there in the dark grass, but you can fight with two Pokémon at the same time, as a double battle. Further south, there is another trainer.
