Route 227
Route 227

Route 227 is the final route before going into Stark Mountain. This route is full of challenges with trainers and wild Pokémon. It's also one of the best spots to train your Pokémon if they are under level 60. There is volcanic ash coming down from the sky which makes the visibility a little hard.

Go up through the grass then use gear 4 on your bike and go over the ramp to find Ace Trainer Saul. Jump over the next ramp to find Pokémon Ranger Felicia. Jump over one ledge then go left and follow the path to find Barry and Crasher Wake. Barry tells you that Buck is on his way to Stark Mountain but Barry wants to find the treasure first so he can go on a 21 win streak at the Battle Tower. Crasher Wake warns you that the wild Pokémon there are tough.

The house in front of you is a rest stop to heal your Pokémon if needed. Once you are ready then go right and up the stairs. Follow the only path and go over the bike bridge to bump into Buck. He calls you wimpy and asks if you are sure if you want to go to Stark Mountain. He says it doesn't matter and the race is on to see who gets the Magma Stone first. Go up and left through the grass then jump over the ledge. Go down the climable wall. Underneath the bike bridge between the two ponds is a hidden Full Heal. Go to the right of the right pond to grab the Charcoal. Go back up the climbable wall and over the bike ramp to find Ace Trainer Mikayla and a Zinc. Jump over the ledge and go right then over the bike bridge. This time go up through the grass and go right at the end then go down and jump over the ledge to find Black Belt Griffin. Go up through the grass then go left and climb up the wall. You are now on Stark Mountain but it will be for a brief moment. Go left and pass the Trainer(don't fight yet). Go down the climbable wall and go all the way left to the wall then go down and over the ledge. You are now back on Route 227 and on the rock is a hidden Protein. Jump over the ledge and go through the grass to the top right corner and go back to Black Belt Griffin. Go through the grass and back up the climbable wall to the left to be done with Route 227.
