Tips

The Berry Master gives you two random berries every day, and his wife gives a rare berry when you tell her certain sayings.
Show the girl near the Route 122 end a Grass-type in your party to receive TM19 Giga Drain.
There are 18 berry trees here, so it is the best spot to plant and harvest.
Psychics Cameron and Jacki and Guitarist Fernando have four PokéNav rematches.
Cut opens tree paths leading to a PP Up and a hidden Rare Candy; a Revival Herb and Ultra Ball are also on the route.
