Route 13 (Japanese: １３番道路 Route 13) is a route located in northwestern Kalos, connecting Coumarine City in the north to Lumiose City in the south. It is the location of the Kalos Power Plant. The route is also known as the Lumiose Badlands (Japanese: ミアレの荒野 Miare Badlands).

The Power Plant produces a special magnetic field that allows Magneton and Nosepass to evolve when leveled up on this route.

Reason: What exactly, if anything, determines the movement speed and direction of dirt mounds?

The small area of Route 13 surrounding the Coumarine Gate resembles many other locations in Kalos, with typical vegetation. Down the stairs, however, the terrain becomes dry and barren, featuring red clay soil not seen anywhere else in the region. Much of the route is taken up by a great, open plain, which is bordered by more rugged areas with small ravines and ledges that can be crossed via metal bridges and skate rails. Some items and breakable rocks, as well as the entrances to the Kalos Power Plant, are located in these outer areas.

Apart from a few dry bushes, no plants grow in the badlands, including tall grass. Wild Pokémon instead appear in the form of dirt mounds that chase after the player and trigger a battle when close enough. These mounds spawn at fixed locations throughout the badlands and move only when the player does, moving at the same speed as them and typically moving toward them. The exact wild Pokémon that appears is determined when a battle is triggered, not when a mound spawns. The use of Repels will not prevent mounds from spawning, moving, or triggering a battle; however, a mound will despawn after a certain amount of time, regardless of whether the player moves around or stands in place.

Route 13 is periodically subjected to a strong westerly wind that affects the player's movement, reducing their north-south movement speed and greatly reducing their westward movement speed. This effect is even more pronounced if the player uses the Bicycle, and further so if the player uses the Roller Skates, to the extent that a certain westward skate rail cannot be crossed while the wind blows. This wind has no effect in battle.

The weather on Route 13 alternates at 10-minute intervals based on the system clock. The wind blows for 10 minutes starting at 0, 20, and 40 minutes past the hour, each followed by ten minutes of calm starting at 10, 30, and 50 minutes past the hour. Unlike certain other locations, the player does not need to leave and re-enter Route 13 for the weather to change.

In the very south of the route is a set of stairs, leading down to a small clearing before the Lumiose Gate. It is here that the player first encounters AZ. He, not interacting with the player directly, makes reference to his Eternal Flower Floette.

Route 13 first appeared in An Oasis of Hope!. There is an oasis in the area, where a Grumpig had been terrorizing a group of Spoink with the help of Team Rocket. One Spoink escaped and enlisted Ash and his friends for help, who managed to stop Team Rocket's plan, with Ash's Goomy evolving into Sliggoo in the process.

The Kalos Power Plant appeared in The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!. Team Rocket took control of the complex and used a machine to hypnotize all the Electric-type Pokémon in the area in to following their commands, including Ash's Pikachu, Clemont's Dedenne, and Clemont's Luxio. It was at this site where Luxio evolved into Luxray and learned Electric Terrain, and where Clemont briefly departed with the rest of the group to go train at the Lumiose Gym before his Gym battle with Ash.
