Platinum Route 210
Route 210 wears two faces: sunlit pasture in the south, and a fog-choked north no one crosses until Defog cuts the murk. The misty half climbs to Celestic Town.
Route 210 is in Sinnoh, with Celestic Town to the north and Solaceon Town to the south. In the story it comes after Lost Tower and continues north to Route 215.
ROUTE 210 MAP
Fog is the story on Route 210. It blankets the northern section so thickly that Defog turns near-essential, while a roadblock keeps the southern half cut off until the story advances.
Pokemon Encounters
Grass changes north to south here, but the chases stay constant. Scyther and Chansey both lurk at 5 percent, while the Pokeradar hides the trophies: Tauros and Miltank at 11 percent and a 22 percent Bagon that builds toward Salamence.
