Platinum Route 208

Berry farms and stepping-stone rivers turn Route 208 into a gentle green link from Hearthome to Mt. Coronet. Anglers crowd the shallows while growers work the banks.

Route 208 is in Sinnoh. In the story you arrive from Mt. Coronet to the west and continue east to Hearthome City.

Pokemon Encounters

Dunsparce is the oddity at 40 percent, a Normal-type prize for collectors that is a chore to find elsewhere. Both Zangoose and Seviper share an 8 percent slot here, no version split to pick between, and Ralts hides at 15 percent for a future Gardevoir or Gallade.
