Route 8 (Japanese: ８番道路 Route 8) is a route in northwestern Unova, connecting Icirrus City to the Tubeline Bridge. Moor of Icirrus lies to the north and is accessible through this route. Bianca is found here near the entrance of Tubeline Bridge

Route description

Route 8 is a route with many water puddles due to excessive amounts of rainy days. Pokémon hide in the damp ground. The puddles freeze over in winter. The route is accessible by a path to the east of Icirrus City. To the north of the first path is a small lake that can be surfed on, with tree stumps and a log in the middle which can not be crossed. After passing the lake, the route splits into two paths. The southern path leads to another small lake, and Tubeline Bridge. There is a Parasol Lady near the bridge's entrance who hands out weather condition boosting rocks based on the time of day and has a habit of speaking in rock puns. For example, she says "I'll be here, I pumice". The northern path leads to the Moor of Icirrus.
