Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Route 209

'''Route 209 connects Hearthome City to Solaceon Town. It has the Lost Tower and Hallowed Tower in it. It is home to some new Pokémon to catch and you can obtain the Good Rod from a fisherman here'''

Travelling the route
When you first arrive on Route 209 from Hearthome there is Pokémon Breeder Albert and to the north is a grass patch with a Honey(DP) in the northeast corner. Go South then east on the lower bridge to speak to the fisherman for the Good Rod. Then go over the upper bridge where you will find Jogger Richard, you can only battle him during the morning. To the east of him are Twins Emma & Lil. Take the bridge left of the twins to get yo a berry patch with Chesto and Leppa Berries. Head back towards the twins and on the middle bridge is Poké Kid Danielle. If you take the southern bridge and go to the end of the path you will find an X Accuracy(DP). Right before the northern bridge there is a hidden Revive(DP). As you are crossing the bridge you will bump into Jogger Raul who you can only face in the morning. Just north of him is Pokémon Breeder Jennifer. One spot north of Jennifer is a hijden Super Potion(DP). In the the rock pit north of Jennifer is a hidden Tiny Mushroom(DP). In the southeast corner is Hallowed Tower which looks like a well. Continue north and you will find a berry patch with Razz Berries. In a rock right before the mud slide is a hidden Awakening(DP). To get up the mud slide put your bike into gear 4 and gain speed to ride up it. Right after the mud slide is Cow Girl Shelley. Instead of going up the mud slide you can go through the grass patch and stay to the left of the trees to find another mud slide which is tricky to get up and after there is a Calcium. After Shelley there is the Lost Tower to your right and Young Couple Ty and Sue. Just south of the Lost Tower is a cuttable tree with TM47. After you get the TM go into the Lost Tower.

Note: Return later with Surf to get TM19 which you can get by going over the water to the east of Hallowed Tower and into the trees.
