Route 228
Route 228

This route connects Route 229 and Route 226. It has a Move Tutor and more new Pokémon to catch. Also this route is in a constant sandstorm so every battle has a raging sandstorm and will hurt your Pokémon if it's not ground type. To fully navigate this route you need Pokémon with Surf and Rock Smash and a bicycle.

Bike up the path until you see a mudslide and go into fourth gear to go up it. Go left down the stairs then to your right is a berry patch and to your left is Psychic Corbin. Go to the grass path southwest of Corbin to find a hidden Full Restore. Go over the bike bridge next to Corbin and in the wall behind the rock is a hidden Calcium. Go down the mudslide you came up on earlier and go right to continue on the path where you will find Ace Trainer Meagan. Continue up the route and go up the next mudslide then go over the horizontal bike bridge to grab the shiny stone. Go back down the mudslide and behind the next big rock is TM37 Sandstorm and a hidden Stardust. Go above the big rock and you'll find Pokémon Rangers Kyler and Krista. Go past the rangers until you run into a pond. Just southwest of this pond on a rock is a hidden Ultra Ball. Above the pond is the Move Tutors house. Northeast of the house is an Iron. Go up the stairs to the left of the house and smash the breakable rocks and at the end is a Shed Shell. Go back down the stairs and go left past the grass to find Ace Trainer Ariana. Go up the route and you will see a dark spot in the ground which is actually Black Belt Davon. Go down the mudslide next to Davon then go right and go up the next mudslide using gear 4 on your bike. Continue up the next mudslide and you will find Dragon Tamer Keegan. Head back to the mudslide next to Black Belt Davon and jn between him and the sign post is a hidden Rare Candy. Go past the sign post to Ace Trainer Jose and just above him is a hidden PP Up. Go down the mudslide next to Jose and grab the Protector.

Once done on this route fly back to the Fight Area and head up to Route 225.
