Route 224 is a post-game route east of the Pokémon League. After you are in the Hall of Fame and have the National Pokédex, you reach it through Victory Road with Marley. If you carry the event-only Oak's Letter, Professor Oak appears beside a mysterious stone tablet here, and the event opens Seabreak Path and leads you to Shaymin. The wild Pokémon are all around level 50.
