Diamond & Pearl Route 202
North of Sandgem Town, Route 202 unrolls the first real tall grass, where most new teams reel in a Bidoof or a Shinx.
Route 202 is in Sinnoh. In the story you arrive from Sandgem Town to the south and continue north to Jubilife City.

Shinx joins the usual Starly and Bidoof in this early grass, a strong Electric pick, while Growlithe at 8 percent and a Pokeradar Sentret reward a second sweep.
