The ramp at the bottom of the route leads to Oreburgh City, which you can now easily return to. Consider healing there before heading east to Route 207. There are quite a few Trainers here, as well as a Hyper Potion, which is hard to obtain at this point of the game, so stick with Super Potions unless you truly need it. As you try to enter Mt. Coronet's south entrance, Dawn or Lucas will appear and give you the [[Vs. Seeker]], and then the Dowsing Machine app on your Pokétch. Proceed into Mt. Coronet after they have left.

==[[Mt. Coronet]] (South Area Part 1)==
The [[Bike obstacles#Muddy slopes|muddy slope]] at the south end of the route leads to [[Oreburgh City]], which you can now easily return to. Consider healing there before heading east to {{rt|207|Sinnoh}}. There are quite a few Trainers here, as well as a [[Hyper Potion]], which is hard to obtain at this point of the game, so stick with [[Super Potion]]s unless you truly need it. As you try to enter [[Mt. Coronet]]'s south entrance, at the eastern end of the route, Dawn or Lucas will appear and give you the [[Vs. Seeker]], and then the [[Itemfinder#Generation IV|Dowsing Machine]] app on your Pokétch. Proceed into Mt. Coronet after he/she has left.
In here, you'll mainly find [[Cyrus]] here right now ranting about his perfecting the world before leaving. Just walk to the other side of this small section of Mt. Coronet, then walk out of the exit to {{rt|208|Sinnoh}}. You won't be able to do anything else important here until much later in the game.

There are many Trainers to battle on this route. Battle them if you wish. However two of cannot be fought until much later in the game. Go across the small bridge, then go down the stairs. Go through the wild grass, then go through the entrance of Hearthome City to access Hearthome City.

====Berry Master's House====
There are many Trainers to battle on this route. Battle them if you wish. However two of them cannot be fought until much later in the game, when you have the necessary HM. Go across the small bridge, down the stairs, and through the tall grass, and you will be at the entrance of [[Hearthome City]].
Here is the Berry Master's house. Each day, he will give you a fresh [[Berry]]. You may also get the Berry App Counter, that shows where there are Berries ready to pick, that you planted.
 
Also on this Route is the [[Berry Master#Generation IV|Berry Master's house]]. Each day, he will give you a fresh [[Berry]]. You may also get the Berry Searcher Pokétch app that shows where there are Berries ready to pick. You can also buy [[Mulch]] from his wife, which affects the growth of Berries.

Once you arrive at [[Hearthome City]], a lost {{p|Buneary}} will run into you. After that her Trainer will appear and thank you for catching her Buneary and she will suggest you to go to the [[Contest Hall]] and leave. It is to the left and behind the [[Hearthome Gym]]. Once you get there, you'll find her talking to your [[Johanna|mom]]. They will both talk to you about Contests, and leave. Then go to the front desk and talk to the woman dressed in Purple. She will reveal herself as [[Fantina]] the [[Gym Leader]] of the City. Then she'll leave to the Gym where you will be able to challenge her.

She will reveal herself as [[Fantina]], this city's [[Gym Leader]]. Then she'll return to the Gym where you will be able to challenge her.
 
After that, you can take a look around the city. Next to the [[Pokémon Center]] is [[Bebe]]'s house, where [[Sinnoh]]'s administrator of the [[Pokémon Storage System|PC box system]] lives. If you talk to her and have a spare slot in your party, you can get an {{p|Eevee}} from her. It is at level 20, and is a [[Normal]] type. If you don't have an open slot in your party, then you can always get it later. Also, if you're into [[Pokémon breeding]], you may consider saving your game before you receive the Eevee and resetting if it's not female, since there is a only a 12.5% chance it will be a female and otherwise, you'll have to wait until you have the National Dex to find a {{p|Ditto}} or another Eevee.

Also if you save before you get one since there is a 12.5 chance it will be a female and through this method it will be easier to get one especially since it will make it easier to breed Eevee and get all 7 of its evolutions without having to trade a {{p|Ditto}} or catch one after getting the National Pokédex.


Also at east of the [[Poké mart]] is the [[Pokémon Fan Club]]. Go inside and talk to the man inside. After listening to his rambles, he will give you the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Poffin Case}}, which is essential on making [[Poffin]]s. Poffins can be made in the building west of the [[Poké Mart]], known as the Poffin House.

Next to it is the Pokémon Hotel. If you go to the second floor and talk to the woman with the {{p|Clefairy}}, she will give you a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shell Bell}}. This item can be useful, as it heals the user by 1/8 of its Max HP when it inflicts damage.

At the northwest and northeast of the city, you can find the entrance of Amity Square, where you can find some [[Accessory|Accessories]], an {{DL|In-battle effect item|Amulet Coin}}, {{TM|43|Secret Power}} and {{TM|45|Attract}}. Since the design for Amity Square is much different from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} you'll need to make two trips using both entrances to get all the items. Keep in mind, you'll need a "cute" Pokémon to enter. Your starter in any of its evolutionary forms will work. Additionally each hut contains 3 teleporters that can teleport you to a different location. To access 2 of these teleporters, move your character to the exact position right before entering the hut completely and therefore using the teleporter on the upper half and then press left or right to access the hidden left or right transporters. It is the only way to access the area where you can get the {{DL|Plate|Spooky Plate}}.

Once you're done exploring the town, you can go to the [[Hearthome Gym]], located at the northeast corner of the city. The Gym leader, [[Fantina]], uses {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, which are weak to {{t|Dark}}- and {{t|Ghost}}-type moves. Ghost-types are also immune to {{t|Normal}}- and {{t|Fighting}}-type moves, but Normal-type Pokémon are immune to Ghost-type move s as well. The design of the Gym is a dark room, using {{p|Duskull}} lamps to serve as walls to create a maze. These also have glowing eyes that will help you see, not counting the flashlights that every challenger has. The goal of the puzzle is to find first the blue pattern, then go to the door that has the same pattern. If you pick the wrong door, you'll find yourself back at the beginning. After the second room, you'll find Fantina and be able to fight her to earn the {{badge|Relic}}.

Fantina and her Pokémon can be a bit of a pain, particularly her Mismagius. One of her annoying ones though is her lead Pokémon, her Duskull. Duskull is very defensive and may take a few hits to take down. It has Will-O-Wisp to burn you, which is not good, because burn halves the Attack stat. Apply Burn Heals right away. It has Pursuit and Shadow Sneak, Pursuit doing more damage if your switching and Shadow Sneak always going first, like Quick Attack. Future Sight will do damage to any Pokémon after two turns. Do not forget Future Sight, as it could seriously mess you up. Thankfully it lacks much offensive attacking power. Her Haunter is a different story though. It has a scary Sp. Attack stat with high Speed to go along, but thankfully it has no Special based attacks, and has quite low defenses. It has Shadow Claw, a Ghost type attack with a high critical hit ratio, and Sucker Punch, which will strike before you for 80 power, but only works if you are attacking. Like Duskull though, Haunter's role is annoyance, and it will disrupt you with Confuse Ray before going in for Hypnosis to set you up for Fantina's Mismagius. Mismagius is a fully evolved demon, and the worse thing about it is that it is packing Shadow Ball, a powerful Ghost-type attack that uses Mismagius' high Sp. Atk to deal the damage. Not good! It has Psybeam and Magical Leaf backing it up, with Confuse Ray to disrupt as well. Something like a Staravia would do well as it is immune to Shadow Ball and halves the damage from Magical Leaf. Confuse Ray is only a minor problem compared to Mismagius' other moves.
Fantina and her Pokémon can be a bit of a pain, particularly her {{p|Mismagius}}. The most annoying one may be her lead Pokémon, her {{p|Duskull}}. Duskull has high defenses and may take a few hits to take down. It has {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} to [[burn]] you, halving the Attack stat of an affected Pokémon and making it lose 1/8 of its HP each turn. Apply [[Burn Heal]]s right away. It also has {{m|Pursuit}} and {{m|Shadow Sneak}}, Pursuit doing more damage if you try to [[Recall|switch out]] and Shadow Sneak [[Priority#Generation IV|always going first]], like {{m|Quick Attack}}. {{m|Future Sight}} will do damage to any Pokémon, regardless of type, after two turns. Do not forget Future Sight, as it could take you out just as you think you're winning and have low HP. Thankfully, Duskull's Attack and Special Attack aren't especially great. Her {{p|Haunter}} is a different story, though. It has a scary Special Attack stat with high Speed to go along, but thankfully it has no Special based attacks, and has quite low defenses. It has {{m|Shadow Claw}}, a Ghost type attack with a high critical hit ratio, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}, which will strike before you for 80 power, but only works if you are attacking in the turn. Like Duskull, Haunter's role is annoyance, and it will disrupt you with {{m|Confuse Ray}} before going in for {{m|Hypnosis}} to set you up for Fantina's Mismagius. Mismagius is a fully evolved demon, and the worst thing about it is that it is packing {{m|Shadow Ball}}, a powerful Ghost-type attack that uses Mismagius' high Sp. Atk to deal the damage. Not good! It also has {{m|Psybeam}} and {{m|Magical Leaf}} backing it up, with Confuse Ray to disrupt as well. Staravia would do well here as it is immune to Shadow Ball and its typing halves the damage from Magical Leaf. Also, a lot of Pokémon, including {{p|Shinx}} and {{p|Turtwig}}'s evolutions, learn {{m|Bite}}, a good Dark-type attack.


=={{rt|209|Sinnoh}}==
Once Fantina is defeated, she gives you the Relic Badge and {{tm|65|Shadow Claw}}. You can now use {{m|Defog}}, which will come in handy later on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}.

Now having earned your Relic Badge, You've now done all there is to do in Hearthome. Now's it's time for you to move on to Route 209. Since you can start purchasing {{DL|Poké Ball|Great Ball}}s from the [[Poké Mart]] due to having three Badges it is recommended you start using them in place of the regular Poké Balls. As you enter the guardpost that separates Hearthome City from Route 209, you'll encounter [[Barry (game)|Barry]] there who will challenge you to another battle.

This time around he'll have two out of three new Pokémon that represent the types of the [[Starter Pokémon]] that he didn't pick at the beginning of the game, {{p|Roselia}} if he didn't get Turtwig, {{p|Ponyta}} if he didn't get Chimchar or {{p|Buizel}} if he didn't get Piplup. Also his starter Pokémon as well as {{p|Starly}} have now evolved. He shouldn't be that tough if you have a good team since your selection of Pokémon is much more vast than it was last time.

From the entrance, go east, then north to travel directly to [[Solaceon Town]]. On this route there is the Broken Tower which becomes the [[Hallowed Tower]] when the [[Odd Keystone]] is placed in it. After speaking to 32 people in the [[Underground]], a [[level]] 25 {{p|Spiritomb}} will appear to battle you. You will pass the [[Lost Tower]] near the end of the route but unlike {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} you will need to get {{m|Defog}} first for dealing with the fog on the higher floors. Fortunately though compared to Diamond and Pearl the HM for Defog is not that far away from here. Follow the path to reach [[Solaceon Town]].
