Diamond & Pearl Route 227

Volcanic ash drifts across Route 227, its bare-rock path climbing from the Survival Area to the slopes of Stark Mountain. Cinders drift down as the dead volcano draws near.

Route 227 is in Sinnoh. In the story you arrive from Route 226 to the south and continue north to Stark Mountain.

ROUTE 227 MAP

Pokemon Encounters

Volcanic ash chokes this Battle Zone path, Camerupt and Magby at home in the soot beside a 5 percent Skarmory. Torkoal answers the Pokeradar, and Spinda wander the ash at 40 percent.
