Pokémon world routes

Route 203 is a route in Sinnoh. This route is where the protagonist will face their rival for the first time (in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl). The Pokémon in his party will vary depending on the player's starter Pokémon.

Route description

Route 203 connects Oreburgh City in the east and Jubilife City in the west. Despite being near such a big town, this path retains its relaxed, natural atmosphere. The path starts off from the west and trails off up a flight of stairs. There will be a small patches of grass and a small pond. If the player will go up another flight of stair they will reach the top of the hill, where there while be a large patch of grass across the ledge. There is also another flight of stairs going down to the north of the route to reach a small area of grass behind the pond.

Items

• Poké Ball: Middle of the first small ledge from the west
• Repel: North bank of pond
• X Defend^Pt: At the bottom of the large patch of grass, near the stairs.

Trainer Tips

Trainer Tips!
Pokémon moves use energy called
Power Points, or PP for short.
If the PP of moves runs low, head for
any Pokémon Center.

Trainer Tips!
If a Pokémon is about to evolve,
it can be instantly stopped.
Press the B Button during evolution
to startle the Pokémon into stopping.
That is how evolution can be
canceled.
