Diamond & Pearl Route 230

Waves stretch to the horizon off Route 230, the southern boundary of the Battle Zone. Surf on and the current eventually carries you back to the Resort Area docks.

Route 230 is in Sinnoh, with Route 229 to the north. In the story it comes after Resort Area and before Spring Path.

Pokemon Encounters

Last of the sea routes before Victory Road, this one runs deep, Corsola dotting the shallows and Gastrodon the shore. Togepi is the Pokeradar reward, and the ice seals return, Spheal and Sealeo bobbing through Pearl where Diamond keeps Seel and Dewgong.
