Route 222 Platinum · Route

Route 222 is a sunny seaside road that runs east from Valor Lakefront to Sunyshore City, and you take it on the way to Volkner's Gym. Along the way you'll find the Pokémon Size Contest house, where a man wants a giant Remoraid, and the Pikachu Fan Club. The wild Pokémon are strong here, with Electabuzz and Luxio in the grass and fishermen all over the beach.
