Phase Sections
This phase now works like the newer walkthroughs: keep this page as the phase index, then open each section page for the deeper route, boss, item, encounter, and cleanup details.
A snowstorm-buried route north of Anistar. Snow is so deep you can't walk — instead, you mount a rental Mamoswine and plow through.
Section 2 Dendemille TownA windmill-themed Dutch-style town. Small Pokemon Center, a Pokemon Day Care (your second one — the first is on Route 7), and several gift NPCs.
Section 3 Frost Cavern + AbomasiteA multi-level ice cave north of Dendemille. Team Flare's first Phase 8 ambush happens here — Mable and Grunts are tormenting a wild Abomasnow to extract energy.
Section 4 Lysandre Labs RaidAfter leaving Frost Cavern, a Holo Clip from Lysandre interrupts you — he announces his plans publicly.
Section 5 Team Flare Secret HQ (Geosenge)Fly to Geosenge Town. The hidden entrance is in the NW stone formation that was sealed in Phase 3.
Section 6 Xerneas / Yveltal — Box Legendary CatchAt the bottom of the HQ is a glowing chamber housing the legendary. The legendary is locked into the bottom of the cage — you can save before, then trigger the encounter, weaken, and capture.

Section 8 Route 18 — Vallee Étroite WayA narrow valley route connecting Geosenge area to Couriway Town. Light trainer density, items in puddles.
