Your first proper route with wild Pokémon and items. The Pokédex is delivered here by Sina and Dexio, Sycamore's lab assistants, near the route's northern bridge. After that you can scan the encounter list.
Wild Pokémon — Route 2
| Pokémon | Versions | Method | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
 Bunnelby |
X & Y | Grass | Evolves into Diggersby with Huge Power. Will be your Cut/Strength HM mule later. |
 Fletchling |
X & Y | Grass | ★ Priority catch. Evolves into Talonflame — Gale Wings priority makes it dominant for the next 5 phases. |
 Pidgey |
X & Y | Grass | Solid alternative if Fletchling won't appear. Pidgeotto handles Viola fine. |
 Zigzagoon |
X & Y | Grass | Catch one even if you don't use it — Pickup ability nets you free items (Potions, Repels, Revives) every battle. |
 Scatterbug |
X & Y | Grass | Evolves into Vivillon — pattern depends on your 3DS region setting, not version. Pattern is locked at catch. |
Vivillon pattern collectors: If you care about completing the 18 Vivillon patterns later, this is your first chance to catch a regional Scatterbug. Your default pattern depends on the 3DS system region you set on first boot.
Items on Route 2
| Item | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Potion ×1 | Visible, in tall grass on the west side | Pick it up as you walk through |
| Pokédex | Mid-route, given by Sina & Dexio | Triggers the catching tutorial — they'll show you how to throw a ball |
Trainers on Route 2
| Trainer | Roster | Reward | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Youngster Austin north end of trail |
Zigzagoon Lv 5 | ~80 P | Easy. Stand-in for the only Route 2 trainer battle. |
Notable NPCs & side events on Route 2
Sina & Dexio (mid-route): Deliver the Pokédex. Also explain Pokémon-Amie hints. Talk to both for full intro.
Calem/Serena (north end): Hands you the Town Map and walks you into the forest. Town Map is accessed from the menu — use it constantly.
Roller Skater girl (loops near south entrance): No battle yet, but she'll comment on your lack of skates. Foreshadowing for Santalune City.
