Route 10 — Menhir Trail

A rocky east-bound trail leading from Cyllage out to Geosenge. Ancient standing stones (menhirs) line the path — one of them, a "Sudowoodo", is actually a Pokémon in disguise blocking the road. Use the Sudowoodo trigger to encounter it: approach the leftmost menhir, it'll shake, and you'll get a Lv 22 Sudowoodo wild battle (catch or KO; either way the path opens).

Side events on Route 10

The Sudowoodo blocking the path: Story-mandatory wild battle. Save before engaging — if you want to catch it, weaken to red HP and use a Quick Ball / Great Ball. Sturdy guarantees one survive turn for safer captures.
Team Flare Grunt ambush: The Grunts mention investigating the menhirs ("ancient power"). First sign that Team Flare has interest in the Geosenge stones. Foreshadows Phase 7's Geosenge climax.
