Route 204 Tips & Strategies

Catch a Budew

Budew is one of the earliest Grass-type Pokemon you can catch in the game, and is good addition to your team if you didn't pick Turtwig.

Adding a Grass-type to your team is very useful when you reach Pastoria City since the 4th Gym uses Water-type Pokemon!

Budew Evolves by Friendship

Budew will only evolve into Roselia during the day and if it has high friendship. Battling and keeping it in your party naturally increases its friendship, and you can further boost it by giving it a massage in Veilstone City.

It's also important to avoid letting Budew faint in battle since this reduces friendship.

How to Increase Friendship

Rock Smash Needed to Push Through

You will not be able to go further in Route 214 if you haven't beaten Roark's Gym in Oreburgh City as fallen rocks block the path when you enter Ravaged Path. You need to first beat Roark and get access to use Rock Smash in the overworld to go beyond this path and continue forward to Floaroma Town.
