Diamond & Pearl Route 212

Rain hammers Route 212 without let-up on its run south from Hearthome to the marsh at Pastoria. Mr. Backlot's manor breaks the way, its Trophy Garden full of pampered Pokemon.

Route 212 is in Sinnoh, with Hearthome City to the north and Pastoria City to the south. In the story it comes after Great Marsh and continues north to Pokémon Mansion.

Pokemon Encounters

Rain hammers this marshy route the whole way, Roselia and Wooper thriving in the wet grass. Smeargle and Grimer answer only the Pokeradar, the painter being the catch most worth the trouble.
