Platinum Route 225

The post-game Battle Zone opens on Route 225, a rough jungle-and-cliff trek north of the Survival Area. Trainers harder than any in Sinnoh test the team that won you the crown.

Route 225 is in Sinnoh, with Survival Area to the east and Fight Area to the south. In the story it comes after Route 224 and before Route 226.

Makuhita throws its weight around the grass at 40 percent, prepping a Hariyama for the endgame. The Pokeradar holds the standouts, a 20 percent Primeape and a rare Mankey at just 2 percent, while Banette only shows after dark.
