Route 230 Objectives

Steps to proceed through Route 230
1 Travel east and surf through the ocean until you reach the other side of the Fight Area.
2 Travel to Route 224.
Route 224 is on the east side of Victory Road. The fastest way to reach Route 224 is by using the north entrance of Victory Road, which is just below the Pokemon League.

Catch Togepi

Togepi can be seen on the island in the middle of the ocean. Stop by and use your Pokemon Radar to find Togepi. You'll get Pokemon Radar after obtaining the National Pokedex. To obtain the National Pokedex, complete your Sinnoh Pokedex and visit Prof. Rowan's laboratory in Sandgem Town.
