Platinum Route 224

Only the Champion's title unlocks Route 224, a rugged shore at Sinnoh's edge. Follow it to the secret Seabreak Path, the lone sea road out to Shaymin's hidden valley.

Route 224 is in Sinnoh, with Victory Road to the west. In the story it comes after Turnback Cave and before Route 225.

ROUTE 224 MAP

Pokemon Encounters

A short post-League pocket, but a rewarding one. Natu blankets the grass at 40 percent, Shuckle clings to its rocks at 8 percent, and the day-night swap trades Bellsprout for Oddish in the lower slots.
