Platinum Route 204

Wrapping from Jubilife up to flowery Floaroma, this route gets split in the middle by the boulder-blocked Ravaged Path. Berry patches and rookie trainers fill its northern half.

Route 204 is in Sinnoh, with Floaroma Town to the north and Jubilife City to the south. In the story it comes after Oreburgh Mine and continues north to Ravaged Path.

Pokemon Encounters

Two level bands of grass stack here, both thin on anything rare. Common bugs like Weedle and Caterpie share the 8 percent slot, while the only real chase is a Pokeradar Sunkern at 22 percent, a slow burn toward Sunflora.
