For this Route it should be pretty straightforward. For getting to the berry patch and some of the items you will need Cut, Surf, and Rock Climb. Fortunately none of the HM moves are necessary for progressing through this route to reach the Survival Area. Notably around the only house in this area is the Lax Incense, the only Incense that cannot be collected during the main game which you will need Cut to get to. Other items on this route include evolution items, though pretty much all you them have been found earlier in the game and all you can do is get extra copies of them.

The house nearest to you leads to the Battleground, a special facility which you can't access until you complete your upcoming mission to Stark Mountain. If you use the ledges near the entrance you used, you'll reach the house located in the south of town. Inside is a man that will give you TM42 (Facade).

Move Tutor

The house on the cliff has the final Move Tutor in the game. To access it go east to Route 226 and use the first Rock Climb ledge you see to go up there. Like the previous Tutors you will need colored shards to be able to teach your Pokémon moves they are compatible with.

Items

Item Location Games Carbos To the far left of the area reached by Rock Climbing downwards twice  Pt  Lagging Tail On the ledge reached by using Rock Climb to move upwards twice from the location of the Carbos  Pt  TM53 (Energy Ball) On the ledge west of Meister's House that is only accessible by Rock Climbing down to it  Pt  TinyMushroom ×2 Both in the grass above the Rock Climb point near the female Swimmer (hidden)  Pt  Big Mushroom In the grass above the Rock Climb point near the female Swimmer (hidden)  Pt  PP Max In the grass above the Rock Climb point near the female Swimmer (hidden)  Pt  Heart Scale On the isolated beach southwest of Swimmer Lydia (hidden)  Pt  Rare Candy In a gap in the trees behind the Meister's house (hidden)  Pt  Lum Berry Held by Foppa  Pt

For this route you will need Rock Climb and Surf. For the first part go to the Rock Climb ledge to the far right climb up it. The trick to getting to the berry patch and the items is by carefully observing which Rock Climb ledge goes to where. To make it easy go to the ledge to the right that leads down. Then go to the nearby ledge that leads up. Now go to the ledge near the two trainers that leads down (though go the ledge after facing those trainers to find TM53 (Energy Ball), a useful move). Now you can get to the second part where Surf is needed.

In the second area you will find a house belonging to a man called the Meister who is German in origin. He will perform an upgrade that will store Pokédex entries from Pokémon games from other countries. He will also trade you a Magikarp from Germany in exchange for Finneon. To the east of his house is a grassland area that leads to Route 227 and Route 228. Head for the north exit that leads to Route 227 first.

Items

Item Location Games Full Heal Hidden between the ponds  Pt  Charcoal East of right pond  Pt  Zinc West of Ace Trainer Mikayla  Pt  Protein Hidden on the small rock in the north-west corner, accessible via Stark Mountain (Requires Rock Climb)  Pt  Yellow Shard Grassy patch northwest of Buck  Pt  Max Elixir East of entrance, next to magma pool  Pt  Star Piece Hidden in rock left of big grassy patch  Pt

As you notice when you arrive here is volcanic ash in the air, as you are close to Stark Mountain, which is an active volcano. Carefully jump over the two bike ledges with the bike and after the second ledge jump over the regular ledge once, but careful not to jump over the second one to a avoid backtracking. After that you will see Barry and Wake, and after Wake acknowledges your growing strength, Barry annoys Wake again by calling him master despite not being made Wake's apprentice and Barry pleads that he needs him to enter the Battlefield club. Wake will point out how prepared your team must be for dealing with Stark Mountain before he leaves with Barry right behind him.

The lady in the nearby house will let your team rest when you talk to her. Follow the path and you'll encounter Buck again. He asks you to go up to Stark Mountain to patrol it and guard the Magma Stone which keeps a certain Pokémon asleep and that a group of vandals that dress like spacemen have been plaguing the area lately. Buck mentions he can't go as his Pokémon are low on HP. Continue following the path and you will reach Stark Mountain.
