Route 216 Pokémon Diamond and Pearl · Route
Route 216 is a snow-choked mountain route in northern Sinnoh that leads out of Mt. Coronet toward Route 217 and eventually Snowpoint City. In DP the player crosses it on the way to the seventh Gym. Deep drifts slow movement, bikes are useless, and hail falls in every battle.

Tips
- Rest for free at the Snowbound Lodge near the western end.
- Bring Rock Climb to reach TM13 (Ice Beam), a Mental Herb and an HP Up on the snowy ledges.
- Fire-type moves are handy here because of hail and the many Ice-type wild Pokémon like Snover and Sneasel.
- Hail affects every battle on the route.
- Bicycles can't be used, and some drifts are too deep to run through.
- Snorunt appears with the Poké Radar and Delibird in swarms.
