Phase 2 Forest Badge Route 204, Floaroma, Valley Windworks, Eterna Forest, Eterna City, and Gardenia. 02 / 11 
Win the Jubilife double battle, use Rock Smash through Ravaged Path, and clear both halves of Route 204. This standalone section joins the route plan to the original Diamond/Pearl map, encounter, trainer, item, and script data; Platinum tables are not substituted.
Source maps
Ravaged Path, Route 204 South, and Route 204 North.
Version discipline
Rows merge only when Diamond and Pearl are identical, and each row carries D/P game markers. Version-exclusive species, mascot encounters, swarms, Radar slots, and GBA insertion slots keep their own labeled rows.
Route Plan
Return to Jubilife; defeat the Galactic Grunts with Lucas or Dawn; receive the Fashion Case; clear Route 204 south; smash through Ravaged Path; sweep Route 204 north; enter Floaroma.
- The assistant's trainer branch depends on player gender and starter allocation; list all six source IDs but render only the matching partner team as applicable.
- Ravaged Path's Surf-only western pocket is late cleanup and must be marked, not implied accessible now.

Swarm, Poké Radar, and GBA dual-slot replacements keep their own labeled rows. Underlying slot odds: grass 20/20/10/10/10/10/5/5/4/4/1/1; Surf and Old Rod 60/30/5/4/1; Good and Super Rod 40/40/15/4/1.

Completion Checklist
- Complete the currently reachable part of this route plan: Return to Jubilife; defeat the Galactic Grunts with Lucas or Dawn; receive the Fashion Case; clear Route 204 south; smash through Ravaged Path; sweep Route 204 north; enter Floaroma.
- Review all 49 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.
- Defeat or deliberately skip every currently reachable trainer row; leave HM-, story-, or National-Dex-gated rows checked only after their access requirement is met.
- Collect currently reachable visible/scripted items and berry trees, use the Dowsing Machine for reachable hidden rows, and retain every explicitly gated row for the named cleanup visit.
- Resolve every currently available puzzle note, boss branch, and partner scene before opening the next section.
