Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Route 206

Route 206/Cycling Road
Route 206/Cycling Road

Route 206 is also known as Cycling Road in the Sinnoh Region. It's home to Wayward Cave and various new Pokémon. It connects Eterna City to Route 207

You can only go down Cycling Road if you have a bike or the people at the gate will send you back. Like the previous regions' Cycling Roads, it's a downward slope so coming back up is going to be slow.

Most Trainers zoom down the Cycling Road so fast they don't realize a cuttable tree to the right at the end which is where you will find the grass for Pokémon, another trainer, items and Wayward Cave in the back.

As you are going down the road you will face a couple trainers who use Electric, Fire and Flying Types.

To Wayward Cave[edit]

Once you cut the grass to the right of the southern gate head north and a couple steps to your right before the bridge is another cuttable tree where there is a Full Heal waiting for you. Head over the bridge and under Cycling Road you will see a Burn Heal. Three steps to the right of the Honey tree is a hidden Elixir. Continue through the grass and next to some rocks is a Super Repel. Go under the road and in between the two bigger patches is a hidden Potion. Just to the north is a berry patch. Go back under the road and continue up where you will find Hiker Theodore. Go underneath the road and you will find a Poison Barb. Underneath the road is the hidden entrance to Wayward Cave that you want to take if you can use strength. If you can't then you can come back here later as the other entrance is pointless until your pokemon are higher levels. Head back towards the southern gate building and go south to Route 207.

Pokémon found[edit]

Wild Pokémon can only be encountered on this route if you can use Cut. Cut away the small tree to the right of the southern gate building to enter the area of the route where wild Pokémon are found.

Here you can find a Stunky in Diamond, Gligar in Platinum, Bronzor in DP, and Ponyta in all 3 games for the very first time.

There is also a Honey tree here if you want to test your luck for a Munchlax.
