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
Finish the Underground Man's first tutorial; collect the Bicycle; choose either gear as needed; enter Cycling Road from Eterna; fight every cyclist while moving south; use Cut below the road for hidden Route 206 grass and items.
- Skull Fossils occur in Diamond and revive into Cranidos; Armor Fossils occur in Pearl and revive into Shieldon.
- After obtaining the National Dex, Old Amber and the Helix, Dome, Root, and Claw Fossils can also be mined. All fossils are revived at the Oreburgh Mining Museum.
- Mining spots are the yellow sparkles on the Underground radar. Face the matching wall, press A, and fully expose each target with the pick and hammer before the crack meter fills and the wall collapses.
- Spheres stay in the Underground and function as currency; Bag-compatible treasures must be moved from the Underground PC into the Bag before returning to the surface.
- Every weight below is ordered Diamond before National Dex / Pearl before National Dex / Diamond after National Dex / Pearl after National Dex. These are source selection weights, not final wall percentages: a normal wall selects 2-4 targets, the first mining wall is forced to three, placement can fail, and duplicate or already-owned Plates are rejected and rerolled.
- After the version orb has been collected, Diamond adds 66 Small Prism and 33 Large Prism weight; Pearl adds 66 Small Pale and 33 Large Pale weight.

Trainers
Field order follows the map's object-event order. Full teams include explicit held items and moves when trdata defines them; cash rewards use the in-engine final-party-slot level and trainer-class multiplier formula.

Puzzles, Warps, And Switches
- Cycling Road automatically pushes the Bicycle downhill. Brake with the directional controls to engage every cyclist and stop at item-side alignments before leaving the gate.
Boss Strategy And Partners
No Gym Leader, rival branch, Galactic boss, Elite Four member, Champion, story partner, or major postgame battle is assigned here.
Completion Checklist
- Complete the currently reachable part of this route plan: Finish the Underground Man's first tutorial; collect the Bicycle; choose either gear as needed; enter Cycling Road from Eterna; fight every cyclist while moving south; use Cut below the road for hidden Route 206 grass and items.
- Review all 14 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.
