Platinum Route 206
Cycling Road thunders along Route 206, a raised bike expressway over the dust. You'll want a Bicycle for its slopes, and Wayward Cave lurks in the gloom below the bridge.
Route 206 is in Sinnoh, with Eterna City to the north and Route 207 to the south. In the story it comes after Old Chateau and continues north to Wayward Cave.
ROUTE 206 MAP
Route 206 carries the Cycling Road on an elevated span reserved for the Bike, with a foot trail running underneath it. That trail below is the lone entrance to Wayward Cave.
Pokemon Encounters
The Cycling Road grass hides a real prize: Larvitar at 40 percent, the slow build toward Tyranitar starting earlier than most games allow. Gligar flies in at night, Ponyta gallops by day, and a Pokeradar Baltoy rounds out the rares at 22 percent.
