Route 214 Platinum · Route

Route 214 is a rugged mountain road from Veilstone City south to Valor Lakefront, and you take it south from Veilstone City on the way to Pastoria City. A Ruin Maniac has been digging Maniac Tunnel off this route, and it grows as you see more Unown forms until it connects to the Solaceon Ruins. Spring Path, which leads to Sendoff Spring, also starts here.
