Field moves and access
A route on the map may still require a badge, HM or story event. Keep Surf, Strength and Rock Climb access in mind around Mt. Coronet and the late-game routes. Historical event items are not ordinary pickups.
Search “Move Reminder”, “Gible”, “Route 210” or “post-game” to find a useful destination.
