Route 212 is a route south of Hearthome City which connects to Pastoria City. This route is seperated into two parts. The north route is a clear route with a variety of trainers to fight. It also contains the Pokémon Mansion which has the Trophy Garden where numerous rare Pokémon dwell. In the south, however, it is a rainy area with various special elements. First, there are areas which require you to use the bike to cross over. Next, there are also some swamp areas which can cause issues to cross, slowing you down and making wild encounters more likely.
