Cranidos is the damage spike after Geodude and Onix; do not spend the best answer early.

Practical counters

Water, Grass, Fighting, or Ground attacks handle the entire team. Keep the Cranidos counter healthy and avoid unnecessary setup.

Data Coverage

This phase owns 79 Diamond/Pearl source maps and publishes 88 encounter rows, 28 trainer rows, 59 visible/scripted items, and 4 hidden-item rows. Counts include explicit starter/rival branches and curated systems but never substitute Platinum encounters or story maps.

Route Plan

Visit Barry's house; follow Route 201 west to Verity Lakefront; enter Lake Verity; choose one starter; return to Twinleaf and receive the Running Shoes; collect the first free Potion from the Pokemart employee on Route 201.

  • The starter is a permanent one-of-three choice. Save before entering the lake if nature or gender matters to the run.
  • Turtwig is the safest answer to Roark, Piplup has the smoothest early matchup spread, and Chimchar develops the strongest early answer to Gardenia and Byron.

Routes and encounters on this page are compiled from 9 pret map headers.

Puzzles, Warps, And Switches

  1. Barry blocks normal Route 201 progress until the lake scene is complete; the opening sequence is linear and has no missable trainer battle.

Completion Checklist

  • Complete the currently reachable part of this route plan: Visit Barry's house; follow Route 201 west to Verity Lakefront; enter Lake Verity; choose one starter; return to Twinleaf and receive the Running Shoes; collect the first free Potion from the Pokemart employee on Route 201.
  • Review all 29 encounter rows across the per-area tables, including game markers, method band, time-of-day rates, levels, and each conditional requirement; mark conditional rows for their stated revisit.

Route 201 and Sandgem Town

Learn the catching loop, accept Rowan's Pokedex assignment, name the starter, and unlock the first supply run.

Source maps

Route 201, Sandgem, Sandgem Poké Mart, Sandgem Pokémon Center, Sandgem Pokémon Center 2F, Sandgem Rowans Lab, Sandgem Professor Assistant House 1F, Sandgem Professor Assistant House 2F, Sandgem Southwest House, and Sandgem Pokémon Center B1F.

Route Plan

Cross Route 201; enter Rowan's Lab; accept the Pokedex; collect TM27 Return; visit home to tell Mom; deliver the Parcel later in Jubilife after buying Poke Balls and healing.

  • Wild encounters begin before the player receives Poke Balls, so the first pass is for experience only.
  • The opposite-gender assistant demonstrates catching on Route 202; their starter is the one neither the player nor Barry chose.

Route Plan

Complete the catching tutorial; catch desired early-route Pokemon; collect field and hidden items; defeat every trainer from south to north; heal before entering Jubilife.

  • Shinx does not learn an Electric attack immediately, but Intimidate makes it useful even before Spark.
  • Kricketot appears only during morning and night encounter periods; the extracted table must preserve that time condition.

Route Plan

Heal in Jubilife; save before walking east; defeat Barry; catch Abra or other desired route encounters; clear the upper and lower trainer paths; collect the Repel; enter Oreburgh Gate.

  • Barry is named by the player; the source trainer name is a placeholder. His starter is always the type with an advantage over yours.
  • Abra usually escapes with Teleport, so lead with a status move or throw a Poke Ball immediately.

Route Plan

Talk to the Hiker for HM06; defeat both mandatory trainers; collect reachable items; continue east to Oreburgh; return after the Coal Badge to use Rock Smash and revisit again with the Bicycle and Surf.

  • Receiving Rock Smash is not enough: the Coal Badge is required before the field move works.
  • The basement deliberately contains rewards gated by multiple later abilities; the page should label each item by its earliest access point.

Route Plan

Visit the Pokemon Center and Mart; collect city gifts; follow the worker south into Oreburgh Mine; clear both floors; speak to Roark at the breakable rock; return to the Gym after his demonstration.

  • The Mining Museum revives fossils later; it cannot provide a fossil Pokemon until the Underground is unlocked and a fossil is excavated.
  • Machop on Route 207 and the player's Grass- or Water-type starter are straightforward Roark answers.
