11. Route 206

Walkthrough

Leave Eterna City to the south and you reach the gate at the top of Cycling Road, the bridge that carries Route 206. The gate only lets you through on the Bicycle; walk in on foot and you are turned back. Inside the gate, Professor Rowan's assistant gives you an Exp. Share once your Pokédex has seen 35 kinds of Pokémon; below that he asks you to come back later.

Cycling Road slopes downhill all the way south. On the bridge you cannot get off the bike, and if you let go of the controls you keep rolling down by yourself.

Eight cyclists ride the bridge: Axel, Megan, James, Nicole, John, Ryan, Rachel and Kayla. Between them they use Starly, Staravia, Pikachu, Shinx and Ponyta, all around level 20, so Rock and Ground moves cover most of them.

At the bottom, go through the south gate, where you can get off the bike again. Then cut through the small trees and follow the ground path north, under the bridge. Hiker Theodore is down there with two Onix. The riders up on the bridge cannot see you on the ground path, and Theodore cannot see you on the bridge. Along the route you can pick up a Poison Barb, a PP Up, a Super Repel and a Burn Heal. A honey tree grows down here too.

Geodude, Machop, Ponyta and Gligar are in the grass at any hour, Ponyta most often by day and Gligar less often at night. Kricketune turns up in the morning and at night, and Zubat only at night.

This is as far as the story goes for now; see Where the guide stops.
