Route 7

A bit of a puzzler as you make your way over the grass on the platform paths, Route 7 provides you with a bit of fun and Adventure in Wild encounters, trainers, and items.

Note that some of the Pokemon you will find here will change form depending upon the season, so we make a note when the season is part of capturing them.

The wild Pokemon encounters on this route include Level 30 to 36 Audino, Cubchoo, Deerling, Emolga, Foongus, Seviper, Tranquill, Unfezant, Watchog, Zangoose, and Zebstrika. Of these you should already have Audino, Deerling, Foongus, Tranquill, Unfezant, and Emolga, which means that all that you need to capture is Cubchoo, Seviper, Watchog, Zangoose, and Zebstrika.

If it works out that you have arrived here at a season that is not Winter, you are not going to be able to complete the Habitat set for here, so what you will need to do is to make a point of coming back as soon as the season in your game turns to Winter, so that you can complete it - that or obtain the missing Pokemon in some other way, since once you have it, even though you did not actually capture it here, it will still count. Just saying.

The Treasure Ball take is made up of a Zinc, Leaf Stone, TM81 X-Scissor, and an Elixer.

Your Dowser will lead you to a Revive, and a TinyMushroom.

Starting with the trainers, head to the left along the path and up the stairs to have your first battle.

Pokemon Breeder Marcus has a Level 34 Ducklett and a Level 34 Tranquill, and pays you $1088. As you progress on the path you will get another call from Yancy, but that does not last long.

Deep in the grass you will encounter Youngster Cody, who has Level 33 Deerling, Stoutland, and another Deerling, which he trots out in a Rotation Battle. Defeat him and he pays $528.

Nearby in a small clearing are what appear to be Treasure Balls, but as it turns out the top is a Level 36 Foongus, while the bottom one actually IS a Treasure Ball, which contains a Zinc for you to pop into your bag.

In the house past the first grass patch is a trainer who will trade you a Gigalith for an Emolga – so you may want to catch one to trade to him... If you decide to go for that trade, remember that Emolga, just like Audino and Unfezant, are obtained via the shaking grass, not the regular grass, so you will need to work pretty hard or be really really lucky to get one relatively quickly. Just saying...

Lass Flo has a Level 33 Ducklett, Unfezant, and another Ducklett that she brings out as a Triple Battle, and beating her pays you $528.

Nursery Aide Holly has a Level 34 Cleffa and Level 34 Cinccino and pays $1360.

Preschooler Greg has a Level 34 Sunflora and pays $136. In the clearing nearby is a Treasure Ball with a Leaf Stone, and above on the path a Treasure Ball that turns out to be a Foongus.

Following the side-path leads you to a rest house where a trainer will heal your team, and where you can see pictures of a Tornadus, Thunderus and Landorus shown you by a trainer here, with each getting an entry added to your Pokedex as a result. Note that the entries in your Dex are partial entries, not full entries, so you will still have to capture them to get the full entries.

After you leave the rest house you get a call from your Mom, who reminds you that you need to take good care of your Pokemon. Thanks Mom!

Twins Sola & Ana have a Level 33 Zangoose and Seviper and they pay $528 for the lesson.

Harlequin Pat on the raised path has a Level 35 Baltoy and pays $1120. In a Treasure Ball on the opposite side of that raised path is a Treasure Ball with TM81 X-Scissor in it.

Harlequin Ian has a Level 35 Baltoy and pays $1120.

At this point since we do not yet want to explore Twist Mountain, turn around and head back, hit the rest house to heal and save, and then make your way back to the main path and clear out the small area above to the right where you battle Preshooler Chrissy and her Level 34 Darumaka and she pays you $136. Nearby her is a Treasure Ball with an Elixir so be sure to grab that.

With that managed, continue west from here to reach the Celestial Tower.

Celestial Tower

As you enter the Professor is not hard to find – she is standing in the center of the tower on the first level – so just walk up and chat her up to get gifted with a Lucky Egg, which is a hold item that increases their XP gain. The Prof departs – but before you do we have some exploring and capturing to do!

In the tower you will encounter Level 27 to 30 Elgyem, Litwick, and Golbat, and you should need to capture all three of them! That being the case, make an effort to do that before you reach the top, right?

You will also battle some trainers, starting with:

Psychic Joyce who has a Level 36 Musharna and who pays you $1152. The nearby Treasure Ball contains a Hyper Potion so be sure to claim that.

School Kid Alberta has a Level 35 Litwick and pays $700. Near her is a Treasure Ball with TM61 Will-O-Wisp.

Pokefan Jude has a Level 35 Clefairy and pays $2240.

Pokefan Georgia has a Level 35 Cubchoo and pays $2240. Nearby her is a Treasure Ball with a Revive you will want to grab.

Psychic Micki has a Level 36 Espeon and pays $1152.

Psychic Bryce has a Level 35 Elgyem and a Level 35 Duosion and pays $1120.

Nurse Dixie has a Level 35 Leavaany and pays $1400 as well as heals your team for you!

Socialite Grace has a Level 35 Roselia and pays $7000.

Psychic Sarah has a Level 35 Yamask and a Level 35 Gothorita and pays $1120.

Nearby is a Treasure Ball with TM65 Shadow Claw, and you want to be sure you grab that. At the opposite end of that path is another Treasure Ball containing a PP Up.

Gentleman Daniel has a Level 35 Umbreon and pays $7000.

That clears the way for you to climb to the top level where using your Dowser you will find a Ghost Gem – so be sure to grab that – then head up on the platform and ring the bell and summon . . . Nobody! Heh. Yeah, maybe later?

Back to Town

Head all the way back to the ground level and outside, then make your way back to town, hit the Pokemon Center and heal and save, then re-supply if you need to before heading over to the Freight Services slash Control Tower Building. Inside before you chat up the Prof go ahead and talk to the other trainers here, and you will score a Sharp Beak hold item, and the opportunity to use your Pokemon that has Fly to help the bloke at the far counter to get some items that were too high for him, which nets you some Net Balls – see how I did that? Nets you Net Balls? Heh.

Now just talk to the Professor and then Skylar, and she will ask if you are ready to leave? Ready to leave?! Well, yeah! You get to fly with the Prof all the way across the region and land in Lentimas Town. Before you depart though Bianca appears, lets the Prof know about her plan, and then we get to see a wicked cool animation of the plane taking off!
