Mail Delivery

Speak to the guard in the southern gate, and he asks for a favor. Deliver his Spearow, named Kenya, and the piece of Mail it holds to his friend on Route 31. It is intended for the man dozing near the pond there. Complete the delivery, and he wakes up just long enough to give you TM44 (Rest). Return here and speak to the guard afterward to receive an HP Up as a reward.

Cameron the Photographer

Enter the north gate and go left. If you speak to the first man, he introduces himself as Cameron the Photographer. He asks if you would like to have your photo taken, and if so, proceeds to take a snapshot of you alongside your party Pokémon.

Pokéathlon Dome

Pokéathlon Dome

The Pokéathlon Dome is a venue where Pokéathlon competitions are held. Only the most athletic Pokémon will win the gold!

Exterior

Meet the Master

After exiting the gate, move north along the path to be met by an old man and his Poliwrath. He believes that your lead Pokémon is ready to participate in the Pokéathlon, and leads the way to the Pokéathlon Dome building. He invites you to take part in the athletic competitions held here, and introduces himself as Magnus, the venue's founder, before heading inside.

Aprijuice Stand

Using the Apriblender

A Typhlosion's performance

In the plaza to the west, there is a stand that offers Aprijuice for sale. Seeing a confused look on your face, the attendant gives you an Apriblender so that you may familiarize yourself with the beverage. This device is stored in the Apricorn Box and is used to blend Apricorns into Aprijuice, a type of drink that improves a Pokémon's athletic performance. Up to five Apricorns may be added to the Apriblender at once, after which the user must walk 100 steps in order to mix up the drink. Each cycle produces enough Aprijuice for three servings. Attributes including flavor level, mildness level, and taste all influence the drink's effect on a Pokémon. These effects are temporary, and wear off when the Pokémon is stored in the PC.

The stand's selection of Aprijuice includes three of five varieties, each having been developed by a popular Pokéathlete. Availability varies by the day.

Interior

Pokéathlon Dome, 2F

Dress the Part

When you reach the front desk, you are approached by Whitney, who is also here to participate in the Pokéathlon. She is excited to enter the competition but is surprised at your outfit, and runs off for a moment before returning with a Jersey so that you may look your best. She suddenly remembers that she left her Pokémon behind, and leaves for Goldenrod City to retrieve them.

Courses

There are five courses to enter, with each prioritizing a single performance stat. Each course includes three events.

Course	Medal	Events
Speed		Hurdle Dash, Pennant Capture, and Relay Run
Power		Block Smash, Circle Push, and Goal Roll
Skill		Snow Throw, Goal Roll, and Pennant Capture
Stamina		Ring Drop, Relay Run, and Block Smash
Jump		Lamp Jump, Disc Catch, and Hurdle Dash

By winning courses, the participating Pokémon will earn medals for their species. Trainers earn points based on how well their team did and if they qualified for any bonuses. The Trainer with the highest score wins, with a tie settled with a random draw by the Pokéathlon host. A win will earn the Trainer an additional 100 points, which can be spent on prizes at the Athlete Shop, or Data Cards that may be used to see records of various actions, course wins and losses, and other statistics. Beating the records for all 10 of the events in the Pokéathlon increases the Trainer Card level.

National Park

The National Park is a beautiful recreational space between Route 35 to the south and Route 36 to the east. A haven for Bug and Grass Pokémon, a Bug-Catching Contest is held here every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

Bug-Catching Contest

There is no entry fee for the Bug-Catching Contest. Anyone may enter once per day, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

To compete, Trainers must catch the single best Bug-type Pokémon they can find. To do this, Trainers are given 20 Sport Balls and are only allowed to use a single Pokémon from their party. The others remain with the contest officials until the competition is over. Any Pokémon caught will be recorded in the Pokédex, but only one Pokémon may be kept to be judged. The Pokémon selected to be judged may be kept after the competition.

The competition ends when 20 minutes have passed, all Sport Balls have been used, or the Trainer blacks out, leaves the park, or chooses to quit. After that, the judging will occur, in which Trainers are scored on their skills of capturing rare and powerful Pokémon.

An Inconvenient Tree

The odd tree mentioned by the woman in Goldenrod City's flower shop can be found in the middle of the route, blocking travel from every direction. Despite its tree-like appearance, this oddity actually tries to avoid water. The woman's sister, Floria, is here to investigate, and urges you to sprinkle it with the SquirtBottle. Splash a bit of water on it, and it attacks! It turns out to be a Sudowoodo, a rare Pokémon that is more similar to a rock than a tree.

VS Sudowoodo

Type: Rock Unknown Ability: Sturdy or Rock Head Held item: None Sudowoodo♂/♀ Lv.20 Flail Normal Physical   --       Low Kick Fighting Physical   --       Rock Throw Rock Physical   --       Mimic Normal Status   --

Afterward, Floria gives you the Berry Pots as thanks for entertaining her. This portable planter allows a Trainer to plant, water, and grow Berry plants while traveling. She also gives out three Oran Berries and three Pecha Berries so that you may try it out. Hearing that your next destination is Ecruteak City, she directs you northward before leaving to return to Goldenrod City.

Once the path is clear, speak with the man to the east to receive HM06 (Rock Smash).

Route 37

Route 37

Route 37 is a short road that leads north from Route 36 to Ecruteak City. A secluded grove of Apricorn trees stands on the east side.
