|mapdesc=A long winding road with lots of ponds and [[tall grass]].

==Route description==

Access in {{game|Black and White|s}} is blocked until the {{player}} defeats [[Team Plasma]] at the [[Dreamyard]] and receives the [[C-Gear]] from [[Fennel]].

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 {{tc|Preschooler}}s can be fought in the playground. A {{tc|Nursery Aide}} can heal the player's Pokémon inside the school building. A pair of {{tc|Twins}} initially blocks the player's path further westwards unless they have at least two usable Pokémon in their [[party]]. The player can travel westwards to find two separate paths, one that leads west and another that leads south; a patch of tall grass is located at the top of the intersection. The player can continue down the west path to find [[Wellspring Cave]] and a large patch of grass, or to the south, which winds around the shore of a pond. The player can then cross the pond by a bridge to the west leading to [[Nacrene City]], past a few patches of tall grass. In Black and White, this is the first area where [[Tall grass#Dark grass|dark grass]] is accessible.

 

When the player first locates the Pokémon Day Care in Black and White, only one Pokémon can be deposited. After meeting the Day-Care Man in [[Nimbasa City]] and helping him against some {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s, he will return to the Day Care and two Pokémon can now be deposited in the Day Care, allowing for [[Pokémon breeding]] to occur. In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, this is not necessary, as the Day Care will accept two Pokémon as soon as the player reaches it.

After obtaining {{HM|03|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 {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}.

==Trainer Tips==

===Pokémon Black and White===

{{sign|bw|Trainer Tips|The Pokémon placed in the upper left of the Pokémon list is important! The Pokémon set there is the first out when a Pokémon battle starts!}}

[[File:Unova Route 3 anime.png|thumb|250px|Route 3 in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

Route 3 appeared from ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]'' to ''[[BW013|Minccino-Neat and Tidy!]]''.

In ''Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!'', {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} his {{AP|Snivy}} on a grassy route, which features trees with vines and a bog with huge lily pads. The [[Wellspring Cave]] was also located nearby. In ''[[BW011|A Home for Dwebble!]]'', there is a rocky terrain near a river where {{an|Cilan}} caught a {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}}.

A small city is also located here, as seen in ''[[BW008|Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!]]''. The town is famous for its historic [[clock tower]] which was initially slated for demolition after its bell stopped ringing. A spate of food thefts by two {{p|Darumaka}} was also plaguing the town. Though thanks to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, the bell's hook was repaired, so the clock tower was reinstated again.  Also the resident {{p|Darmanitan}} reverted to Standard Mode, after it was using all its energy to support the broken bell, and assumed the role of the clock tower's guardian.

In ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', the group arrived in [[Luxuria Town]], where Ash took on and lost to rival [[Trip]] in a five-on-five match at the local [[Battle Club]].

A joint [[Pokémon Day Care]] and Kindergarten, operated by [[Karena]] and her granddaughter [[Daniela]], was featured in ''[[BW012|Here Comes the Trubbish Squad!]]''. The students had befriended a {{p|Trubbish}}, who brought its bad smell and the garbage from the local dump to the Day Care. Daniela was against Trubbish staying, but after it saved the children, she allowed it to stay. Karena also gifted Ash an {{pkmn|Egg}} as thanks, which later hatched into a {{AP|Scraggy}}.
