Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Route 204 & Ravaged Path

Route 204

Route 204 is split into to parts with Ravaged in the middle. It connects Jubilife to Floaroma and it's home to some new Wild Pokémon to catch.

Route 204 south side

After resolving the issue between Professor Rowan and Team Galactic you can head north into the south side of Route 204

This part is straightforward as you only need to head north where you will bump into Lass Sarah, Youngster Joey, and Lass Samantha to battle. You can also catch a Budew and a Wurmple, Platinum only.

Ravaged Path

Ravaged Path

From here, all you need to do is go to the right and use Rock Smash on one of the rocks. On your way out you will find an Antidote in DP or a Potion in Platinum. Exit through the newly accessible doorway.

You may also go to the left to pick up some valuable items, although most items cannot be reached until you can use Surf outside of battle.

To get to the items you need to Rock Smash through the left part of the cave. Before you surf you should see TM39 Rock Tomb. Surf and stay on the left side until you get to land again then stick to the left wall and follow the path to the end to find the Luck Incense. Now take the first path left and jump down the ledges to get to the water again. Surf to the northeast corner and you will find TM03 Water Pulse.

The twins are an unavoidable double battle so be prepared to face two Pachirusus. After the trainers there will be fences to you left and right.
