Tips

• Slugma is common here during the day only, at Lv29–32 with a 35% rate.
• At night Grimer makes up 95% of grass encounters, so visit in daylight for variety.
• Two items are hidden along the road: a Max Ether and a Max Elixer.
• All four Bikers use Poison and Fire types such as Weezing and Magmar.
• Going north up Cycling Road from Route 18 also needs a Bicycle; the gate officer checks.
