Route 3 (Japanese: ３ばんどうろ Route 3) is the third route in Unova. It is connected to Striaton City in the east and to Nacrene City in the west.

Route description

Route 3 starts off with a short simple path to the north after exiting Striaton City. Straight ahead is the Pokémon Day Care and a school where several Preschoolers can be fought. The player can travel westwards to find two separate paths; a patch of tall grass is located to the north of this path. The player can continue to the west to find Wellspring Cave or to the south, which travels along the shore of a pond. The player can then cross it by a bridge to the west leading to Nacrene City, past a few patches of tall grass.

When the player first locates the Pokémon Day Care, only one Pokémon can be deposited. After meeting the Day Care man in Nimbasa City and helping him against some Team Plasma grunts, he'll return to the Day Care and two Pokémon can now be deposited in the Day Care, allowing for Pokémon breeding to now occur. Later after obtaining HM03 (Surf), the player can travel across the pond to the other side. On the west side of the pond, the player can find two patches of tall grass and a Pokémon Breeder.

A small city is also located here, as seen in Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!. It has colorful buildings with shops and has a small bridge which allows people to enter the city. Trees and shrubbery surround it and a river runs through it. It also has a small Pokémon Center and a cafe is shown to be affiliated with Team Rocket.

The most famous part of the city is the old clock tower which is now home to a Darmanitan and has a huge bell inside it. There is a long winding stairs, when at the top there is a room with a huge bell.
