Marsh tile
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
A marsh tile is a special tile introduced in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It is found only around Pastoria City, on the connecting route (Route 212), inside the Great Marsh, and in the Johto Safari Zone. When the player walks on them, they may find they are stuck and are unable move. Getting free requires the player to "struggle and squirm" by using the D-pad to repeatedly change the direction in which they are facing.
A similar tile is used in the underground, when a pit trap is used.
Variations
The marsh tiles on Route 212 are devoid of grass; no wild Pokémon are found there. Conversely, in the Great Marsh, wild Pokémon are only found in the marsh area, which has grass growing on top of the mud. Despite the grass there, players can still get stuck.
