Sinnoh Route 226: Difference between revisions

* It is possible to become permanently trapped on [[Meister]]'s island. This can only occur if the player has no fishing rods and only a Level 100 {{p|Finneon}} in their party, by trading that Finneon for Meister's {{p|Magikarp}}. This is because Finneon can learn {{m|Surf}} while Magikarp cannot. With no fishing rods, there is no way to enter a battle and lose in order to return to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Since Magikarp will be Level 100, there is no way to evolve it into {{p|Gyarados}}, who can learn Surf. This situation is only possible by trading for Finneon, since it can only be caught through fishing.

** Finneon does not necessarily need to be at Level 100, if the player does not have enough Rare Candies to evolve Magikarp or cancels evolution. Also, the player's party does not necessarily have to contain only Finneon/Magikarp, as long as no other Pokémon in the party knows {{m|Teleport}} or can learn Surf or {{m|Fly}}.
