This is a walkthrough for Route 230, including what Pokémon you can encounter and items you can find.
(1 of 2) Route 230.

Route 230 is the final numbered route in the game, accessible by heading east from the Fight Area or west from Route 229. It’s a long, horizontal sea-based route with a medium-size island in the center.
How to Navigate Route 230¶
If you entered from Route 229, you’ll start along the east end of this route. SWim west, while weaving through the occasional rocks and avoiding/seeking out the trainers swimming around. Your goal is to reach the island in the center. On this side of the route, there are four trainers–one along the north, two along the center line and another by the corner of the central island.
Otherwise, if you came from the Fight Area, head north-east along land to check out the berry patch. Afterwards, use Surf to enter the nearby water. From here, swim east towards the central island. Near the second pair of rocks in the sea, there’s a pair of trainers. Beyond them is the island.
(1 of 2) Kelpsy Berry.

Upon reaching the island, head over to the east side. You should notice an item that you can reach by using Rock Smash. Check it out to learn it’s a Rare Candy. Go back a bit and smash the cracked rock a short distance left from where you grabbed the candy. Search the wall behind it to find a hidden HP Up. Moving on, go up to the north end of the island. Smash the loose rock there and search the space to the right for a hidden Carbos.
From here, return to the water and continue west if you came from Route 229. You’ll meet one final pair of trainers, before reaching land again. At that point, your long journey around the Battle Zone is probably coming to an end. Or carry on swimming east if you entered via the Fight Area. After a slightly longer stretch of sea, with more trainers, you’ll eventually reach Route 229. We won’t be covering the rest of this “reverse” journey, so good luck with that!
