Diamond & Pearl Route 226

Sheer sea cliffs make Route 226 impassable without Rock Climb, high above the Battle Zone waves. A lone cottage up top hides a trainer eager to swap Pokemon.

Route 226 is in Sinnoh, with Route 228 to the east and Survival Area to the west. In the story it comes after Battle Tower and continues north to Route 227.
