Wild Pokémon — Route 7
| Pokémon | Versions | Method | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
 Roselia |
X & Y | Grass | ★ Strong special attacker. Evolves into Roserade with Shiny Stone. Grass STAB + Sludge Bomb hits 70% of the metagame for neutral or better. |
 Smeargle |
X & Y | Grass Rare | Sketch lets it copy any move. Pure utility — strong in trick rooms / setup teams. Not a balanced-optimal core but fun. |
 Skitty |
X & Y | Grass Rare | Delcatty has Normalize ability — niche meme picks. Skip for balanced optimal. |
 Audino |
X & Y | Rustling Grass Rustle | EXP cash. Engage every rustle. |
 Espurr |
X & Y | Grass | Second chance if you missed it on Route 6. |
Berry Fields
Mid-route on the south side, you'll find the Berry Fields — a long stretch of soil plots managed by the Berry Picker family. Talking to them yields:
- ★ Free starter berries (one-time each): Oran, Cheri, Chesto, Pecha, Rawst, Aspear, Leppa, Sitrus.
- ★ Daily replenishing berries from the soil plots. Plant, water, harvest. Mostly used for Pokémon-Amie or held items (Sitrus for in-game HP recovery).
Berry priorities: Always have ~5 Sitrus Berries on hand (held item for ~25% HP heal at low HP — saves a Pokémon mid-battle). Lum Berry (cures any status, daily) is also worth stocking.
Trainers on Route 7
| Trainer | Roster | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Artist Georgia | Smeargle Lv 16 (Ember, Water Gun, Vine Whip, Brick Break) | Smeargle has the 4 starter elemental moves — every type-disadvantaged matchup possible. |
| Artist Family Mona & Paolo Double | Smeargle Lv 16 (Helping Hand, Metal Claw, Gust, Clear Smog) + Smeargle Lv 16 (Helping Hand, Pursuit, Confusion, Twister) | ★ Double battle. Both have Helping Hand — they boost each other. Take out one fast or you'll get chip-damaged. |
| Artist Pierre | Smeargle Lv 16 (Thunder Shock, Powder Snow, Rock Throw, Rock Smash) | Coverage Smeargle. Rock Throw threatens Fletchinder. |
| Tierno & Trevor Rival Multi | You + Calem/Serena vs Tierno + Trevor. Rosters scale with your starter pick. | ★ ★ This is the rival battle some guides incorrectly place on Route 3 in Phase 1. Multi-battle format — you and your friend battle as a team. |
