Platinum Route 203

Fresh Trainers' School graduates pack the road to Oreburgh, all itching to battle. Barry usually springs a rematch on you before you duck into Oreburgh Gate.

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

Pokemon Encounters

Cubone is the unusual draw at 40 percent, a Ground-type you can build around long before most Sinnoh teams find one. The 8 percent slot rotates between Seedot, Pineco, and Lotad, and Zubat slips in only at night.
