Platinum Sendoff Spring

A lonely, mist-ringed pool behind the Pokemon League, its still water marking the mouth of the disorienting Turnback Cave.

Sendoff Spring is in Sinnoh, with Turnback Cave to the south. In the story you arrive from Spring Path to the west and it comes before Route 222.

SENDOFF SPRING MAP

Pokemon Encounters

A quiet spring behind Turnback Cave, surfed almost entirely by Golduck, with Graveler in the daytime grass and Dusclops getting better odds at night beside a pair of 8 percent Solrock and Lunatone.
