Route 212
Route 212

Route 212 connects Pastoria City to Hearthome City. It also has a Pokémon Mansion in it that you should visit.

This route is one of the longest routes in the game so it will be broken up into two sections, north and south. It also has lots of items and trainers.

Southern section[edit]

This section its always raining and when coming from Pastoria you will run into some marshes where you can't ride your bike and you may need to wiggle to get out if you are stuck in the mud.

When you first arrive head north in the marsh. In the southeast corner this is a hidden Hyper Potion. In the northwest corner there is a hidden Rare Candy. In the northeast corner there is a hidden Ether. Once you get those item head out of the marsh to the south and follow the route west. Use Cut and go up the stairs then use your bike to ride over the beam go down the stairs and follow the path west where you will see Scientist Shaun. Grab the X Special just above you then continue following the path and you will find Parasol Lady Sabrina. Just south of Sabrina you can grab a Zinc. It's not recommend to jump the ledge so go back east on where you came and over the beam. Now there is a hidden path underneath the beam which will take you to a Revive. Once you grab the Revive head out then continue west where you will find PKMN Ranger Taylor. In the lower corner right before the marsh is TM06 Toxic. Head into the marsh and a few steps west of the girl stuck is a hidden Great Ball. A few steps south of the Great Ball is a hidden Revive. Crossover to the second marsh and a head northwest to find a hidden Heart Scale. Heart west and out of the marsh to find Parasol Lady Alexa. Right next to Alexa, you will find a house with a woman who will give you weather changing TMs in exchange for 10 shards. Continue on the route west and you will find yourself on a bridge and the first trainer there is Fisherman Juan. When the bridge forks go right and you will face Fisherman Cameron. Turn around and go face Fisherman Travis. Follow the bridge west and head north a little to find Collector Dominque. Head up the stairs and over the eastern beam to get TM62 Silver Wind. Go back over the beam and go down the stairs. Follow the path west and you will eventually find Policeman Danny who you can only face at night. Follow the path west then south then west and you will see Scientist Stefano. Grab the Antidote right next to you then head north until you find PKMN Rangers Allison and Jeffrey. Once you go up the stairs then you are in the northern section.

If you want a TinyMushroom that's out of the way then go north of Fisherman Cameron and cut through the trees and over the southern beam then over the next beam and the TinyMushroom is hidden there.
