Route 208
Route 208

Route 208 connects Mt. Coronet to Hearthome City. At the west of the route you will find a scenic waterfall. When you hit the grassland you will find the unique Berry Master, another Pokétch app, and an item to get a rare Pokémon later on.

Fresh air[edit]

Coming right out of Mt. Coronet you will be on a Waterfall and you have to cross bridges to get back to the grassland. Before you do there are some trainers and items that you find on the bridges.

Walk out and cross the first bridge to face Hiker Robert. Go up to the bridge to the left and you'll find Black Belt Kyle. Go down the stairs near Kyle to get an X Speed in DP. Go back towards Hiker Robert and go over the other bridge to find Hiker Jonathan. Continue up the path to find breakable rocks to you left and smash them to go down the stairs to pick up the Poké Ball. Go back up the stairs and down the next stairs and you will see next two trainers, Aroma Lady Hannah and Artist William. You will see the Berry Master's House to your left so head inside.

When done in there, head to the southern part of the grass patch and you will see the Black Belt to talk to receive an item called an Odd Keystone which can be used later on Route 209 to catch a rare Pokémon. In the southwest corner of the grass patch is a hidden Honey in DP.

Head east and you will reach Hearthome City.

Note: The last two trainers on this route either require Rock Slide or Surf so come back here later if you want to face them.
