Platinum Route 226

Rock Climb is the only way up the sea cliffs of Route 226, high above the Battle Zone surf. The lone cottage on the bluff holds a trainer keen to swap a Pokemon.

Route 226 is in Sinnoh, with Route 228 to the east and Survival Area to the west. In the story it comes after Route 225 and continues north to Route 227.

ROUTE 226 MAP

Pokemon Encounters

A windswept route where Krabby scuttles the grass at 40 percent. The Super Rod is the prize line, pulling the living-fossil Relicanth at 15 percent, and the Pokeradar repeats the Mankey and Primeape pair from next door.
