Route 213 in Diamond and Pearl

Route 213 is a sunny coastal stretch in southeastern Sinnoh between Pastoria City and Valor Lakefront, with a beach sheltered by a rocky jetty. The resort Hotel Grand Lake and its bungalows sit above the shore, and Dr. Footstep lives here judging Pokémon by their footprints. Many of its items only open up once the player has Rock Smash, Rock Climb and Surf.
