Route 111 And The Winstrates

Leave Mauville north. Route 111 immediately introduces rocks that need Rock Smash and a desert you cannot enter yet because the sandstorm blocks your path. Clear what you can, then decide whether to fight the Winstrate family.

The Winstrate house is optional but useful. Four trainers fight back-to-back, so heal first. The reward and experience are worth it for normal runs, but Nuzlocke players should only enter with a healthy team and a plan for repeated chip damage.
