Route 102 Emerald · Route
Route 102 runs west from Oldale Town to Petalburg City through tall grass and past a small pond.

Tips
- Ralts appears in only 4% of grass encounters (Lv4); it is worth the search, as Kirlia and Gardevoir make a strong Psychic type.
- Seedot is rarer still at 1% (Lv3), but a TV mass outbreak can make it half of the grass encounters here for two days.
- Lotad (20%) is a handy catch for Roxanne's Rock-type Gym in Rustboro.
- Youngster Calvin has four PokéNav rematch teams once you have a PokéNav.
- Two Berry trees, Oran and Pecha, grow here; pick them and replant for a steady supply.
- Come back with Surf for Marill on the pond (99%), or use the Super Rod for Corphish (Lv20–45).
