Tips

The very tall grass on Route 119 cannot be traversed while riding a Bicycle, so you must travel through it on foot.
You can rest in the bed on the first floor of the Weather Institute to completely heal your party at any time.
Acro Bike rails and waterfalls along the river require specific gear or later HMs, meaning you will need to backtrack later to explore every corner of the route.
