Platinum Route 230

The wide southern sea closes out the Battle Zone at Route 230, nothing but waves in all directions. Surf far enough and the spray carries you back to the Resort Area docks.

Route 230 is in Sinnoh, with Route 229 to the north. In the story it comes after Resort Area.

ROUTE 230 MAP

Pokemon Encounters

Saved for last among the sea routes, this one guards a soft prize: a Pokeradar Togepi at 22 percent, the Fairy-in-waiting that hatches toward Togekiss. Corsola dots the grass at 40 percent, and Sealeo rolls through the surf where the rods turn up Wailmer.
