Diamond & Pearl Route 203

Trainers' School graduates pack the road to Oreburgh, all itching for a battle. Your rival Barry tends to ambush you for a rematch before you reach Oreburgh Gate.

Route 203 is in Sinnoh. In the story you arrive from Jubilife City to the west and continue north to Oreburgh Gate.

ROUTE 203 MAP

Pokemon Encounters

Sinnoh first two-tier grass throws Cubone and Abra into the mix, a slow Psychic that pays off later. The Pokeradar is where Ralts and the rarer Kirlia hide, both at the back of the odds.
