Appendix:Diamond and Pearl walkthrough/Section 5

Route 205 (Part 3)

Once you exit Eterna Forest, you will come along a short path where there will be a bridge and a few Fishermen fishing, so they will only battle if you talk to them. There will also be a large patch of tall grass, though there are no new Pokémon to catch here, but there will be a Potion to pick up there. When you get through the grass, there is a patch of Berries to pick. There is also another honey tree and some Honey hidden behind it. You will reach Eterna City by going further east.

Later...

Once you've obtained Cut and the Forest Badge you can cut between the trees found here to locate a bypass that makes it easier to go through both parts of Route 205 without having to cut through Eterna Forest. Refer to the part "Back to Eterna Forest/Eterna Forest bypass" below for more information.

Eterna City

Welcome to Eterna City the site of the second Gym. First off, it is recommended you heal your at the Pokémon Center. While there you can find a woman that will give you the Friendship Checker, a Pokétch upgrade that will analyze the happiness factor for your party Pokémon, which is useful for checking happiness to assist with Happiness evolution or for using the move Return.

There is also a building in the northwest corner owned by Team Galactic, but you won't be able to enter it without the move Cut. If you go east of Team Galactic's building you will meet Cynthia. She will recognize you as working for Professor Rowan, and tell you she is looking into Pokémon mythology before giving you HM01 (Cut) but you need. A hidden item located around the Statue will get you a Draco Plate Before you go and challenge Gardenia at the Gym, there is plenty to do in Eterna City.

Condominiums

Located next to the Poké Mart is the Eterna Condominiums. On the first floor, is the Name Rater, who will let you change your Pokémon's nickname, as well as a boy called Norton, who will trade a Chatot for a Buizel. On the second floor a woman who gives away TM67 (Recycle).

Underground House

The Underground House is next to the Pokémon Center, where you can get the Explorer Kit that leads you into the Underground, where you can set up a secret base and find the Evolutionary stones from older games, Fossils, and other stuff here. Note that for your fossils, at this point you are limited to finding one fossil depending on what version you are playing. You can find either the Skull Fossil if you are using Diamond, or a Armor Fossil if you are using Pearl and don't forget to take them to Oreburgh City to revive them. The fossils for the older Generation Pokémon will become available after receiving the National Dex. You will need to get the Explorer Kit to be able move through the game later.

Herb Shop

The Herb Shop is located east of Team Galactic's building, where you can buy healing herbs which lower your Pokémon's friendship. It might be a good idea to buy some Revival Herbs, as they revive your Pokémon.

Rad Rickshaw's Bicycle Shop

The place where you get your new Bicycle is located above the Poké Mart. However, you won't be able to get the Bike right away as the owner has gone to deal with Team Galactic in their building, as they had kidnapped his Clefairy.

You can also explore a part of Route 211 and Mt. Coronet.

Route 211 (West Side)

There are some Pokemon for you to catch here, such as Ponyta, Meditite and Chingling.
