Platinum Route 217
Whiteout gusts and waist-deep drifts make Route 217 a brutal slog. Push north through the storm and Snowpoint City finally appears through the white.
Route 217 is in Sinnoh. In the story you arrive from Route 216 to the south and continue north to Acuity Lakefront.
ROUTE 217 MAP
No snow in Sinnoh falls thicker than on Route 217, piling into drifts that drag at each step and close in your sightlines. A Bike cannot push through it, leaving the walk to Snowpoint on foot.
Pokemon Encounters
Heavy snow and a wide cast of cold-weather Pokemon. Delibird is the route signature at 40 percent, a Christmas oddity with decent reach, while the Pokeradar digs up Piloswine at 22 percent for a head start on Mamoswine.
