Route description

North of the route, a race track can partially be seen. Based on NPC statements, it can be surmised as a track for Rhyhorn racing. Opposite the entrance to Victory Road, there is a series of ledges which provides a shortcut to Santalune City. In the south of the route, there is a river and waterfall which leads to the Chamber of Emptiness and other Trainers.

Pokémon Adventures

X & Y arc

Route 22 first appeared in Kangaskhan...Kangascan't, where X and his friends ventured to the route in an attempt to figure out the reason behind Li'l Kanga's transformation from earlier, but they failed to repeat the process. They also first met Viola on this route.

In Malamar Traps, the Team Flare Grunts stationed at Route 22 reported that they were under attack by Drasna.

In Yveltal Steals, Cassius and his assistants traveled to Route 22 in order to inspect a Pokémon withdrawal that Emma had just made from the Pokémon Storage System near the area. Upon arriving at the route, they noticed a huge explosion happening near Route 20, and decided to head there.

Trivia

• Despite a couple of Trainers and on this route and wild Pokémon in the yellow flower patch being only accessible by the use of Waterfall, which isn't possible outside of battle until the player has all eight Badges, the levels of these Trainers' Pokémon are closer to the NPC Pokémon levels around the point in the game when the player becomes able to use Surf outside of battle after their third Badge. This may suggest that this area was intended to not require Waterfall.

Name origin

Détourner is French for "to divert".
