🛤️Route 21, Dernière Way

The route that the brave choose to prepare for the League. In the house in the north-east, reachable with Surf or Strength, a Move Tutor teaches Draco Meteor to a Dragon-type Pokémon that is very fond of you.

  • TM22 Solar Beam is at the end of the rock puzzle: you need Strength, Surf and Cut.
  • The Insect Plate is north of the exit towards Snowbelle City, while surfing.

🏰Victory Road

It alternates between four caves and four outdoor areas, dotted with remains of ramparts and stone bridges. More than twenty elite Trainers, including several Veterans, are waiting for you there: stock up on Potions and Revives.

  • TM03 Psyshock is in an isolated room, reached through the south-east exit of the second cave, with Rock Smash.
  • TM02 Dragon Claw is waiting for you at the end of a dead end, at the top of a waterfall.
  • The Dragon Fang is in the far east of the ledges, via the slope to the south-west of the Veteran Sayuri. A Carbos is in the far north.

⚔️The last battle against your rival

Between the second and third caves, your rival is waiting for a last battle before the League.

Our strategy

Five Pokémon: Meowstic and their Eevee evolution at level 57, Altaria at level 58, Absol at level 59 and their starter Pokémon at level 61.
Altaria (Dragon and Flying) takes four times the damage from Ice. Keep an answer ready for their starter Pokémon, which always has the advantage over yours.

After your victory, your rival gives you 2 Max Revives. All that remains is to reach the exit: the League palace rises at the end of the path.
