Items

• Sea Incense: To get the Sea Incense, you need Surf. Surf on the pond in the bottom-left corner of the route. The Sea Incense is on a ledge at the bottom.
• Paralyze Heal: When entering the route from Jubilife City, walk on the right side of the fence. Go through the grass on the right edge of the pond to reach the Paralyze Heal.
• HP Up: To get this item, you need Surf. Surf on the top pond in the lower half of Route 204. On the right side of the pond there is a small ledge holding the HP Up.
• Awakening: After exiting the Ravaged Path, you will come across an Awakening lying directly in your path.
• TM09 (Bullet Seed): To reach TM09, go to the very top of Route 204, before you reach Floaroma Town. There will be a fence to your left with a small gap in it. Walk through the gap to find the TM in a small alcove.
• TM78 (Captivate): To get TM78, you need cut. From Floaroma Town, go down into Route 204 and cut the small tree just below and to your right. The lady behind the tree will give you a lesson on Pokémon genders and TM78, a move that works only on Pokémon of the opposite gender.

Ravaged Path

From here, all you need to do is go to the right and use Rock Smash on one of the rocks. Exit through the newly accessible doorway. You may also go to the left to pick up some valuable items, although most cannot be reached until you can use Surf outside of battle.
