Route 218 Tips & Strategies

Catch a Magikarp with the Old Rod

Now that you have the Old Rod, you can catch a Magikarp via fishing. Leveling up your Magikarp to level 20 will make it into a Gyarados - a strong Pokemon that will prove to be very useful in your journey to becoming the champion!

Catch Rare Pokemon From the Honey Tree

Route 218 is the home of one of the Honey Trees found in the Sinnoh Region. You can slather Honey on the tree to attract rare Pokemon which includes Munchlax and a female Combee.

Catch a Ditto Using a Poke Radar

After becoming the champion, head to Sandgem Town and talk to Professor Rowan to get the Poke Radar. This device is very useful if you want to catch a Ditto in the wild.
