Pokemon X and Y Phase 8: Route 20 + Pokemon Village

Iceberg Badge

Route 20 is the Winding Woods — a maze-like forest with looping paths. The compass spins randomly inside (homage to FRLG's Lost Cave), but the route is short.

Route 20 + Pokemon Village

Route 20 is the Winding Woods — a maze-like forest with looping paths. The compass spins randomly inside (homage to FRLG's Lost Cave), but the route is short. Through the woods you reach the Pokémon Village.

Pokémon Village

A secluded sanctuary where abandoned and feral Pokémon live in peace. Wulfric is here, communing with the Pokémon. Talk to him — he heads back to Snowbelle to give you a proper gym fight.

★ Mewtwo (post-Elite Four): Pokémon Village is ALSO the future home of Mewtwo. You can't catch Mewtwo until after entering the Hall of Fame. Note the spot for Phase 10. For Phase 8, just find Wulfric and leave.

Wild Pokémon in Pokémon Village

Rare and unusual encounters here — Zoroark (rare), Ditto, Lickitung, Amoonguss, Noctowl, Gothitelle/Reuniclus (version-dependent). Worth a few minutes if you want to round out your Pokédex.
