Route 207

Route 207 is a short, rocky path that joins Oreburgh City to Mt. Coronet, with Cycling Road from Route 206 coming down onto it. Early on you can't get far, because a muddy slope leading up toward Mt. Coronet needs a Bicycle in fourth gear. When you come back with a bike, Dawn or Lucas meets you here and gives you the Vs. Seeker and the Dowsing MCHN Pokétch app.
