Danger notes
Toxicroak is Saturn's finisher and can exploit Water attacks through Dry Skin.
Practical counters
Psychic is four-times effective and Ground is also strong; do not feed it Water recovery.

Version
Time
Lake Valor and Commander Saturn
Enter the drained lake, defeat Galactic forces among stranded Magikarp, and confront Saturn inside Valor Cavern.
Source maps
Lake Valor Galactic.
Wild / special rows0Trainer rows4Visible / hidden items0 / 1
Route Plan
Fly to Pastoria or Valor Lakefront; enter the now-open lake; clear every Grunt around the basin; collect reachable items; enter Valor Cavern; heal and save; defeat Saturn; leave for Twinleaf and Lake Verity.
- The drained-lake map is separate from the restored post-Spear-Pillar lake, so its Grunts and items must not be merged with the later Azelf visit.
- Saturn's Toxicroak has strong offensive coverage; Ground, Flying, and Psychic attacks are the cleanest direct answers.
Encounter tables on this page cover 1 in-game map.

Route Plan

- Mars's Purugly returns at a much higher level alongside Bronzor and Golbat; bring Ground or Fighting pressure plus a safe Bronzor answer.
- The ordinary Lake Verity map was covered during the starter section; only the invasion state belongs here.

Puzzles, Warps, And Switches
- The Grunts are arranged as paired battles around the shore. Clear both sides before approaching Rowan and Mars at the lake's north end.
Completion Checklist
- Complete the currently reachable part of this route plan: Fly to Twinleaf; heal at home; enter Verity Lakefront and the Galactic lake map; clear both Grunt pairs; save before Mars; defeat her upgraded team; speak to Rowan; prepare for the northern Mt. Coronet crossing.
- Review all 9 encounter rows across the per-area tables, including game markers, method band, time-of-day rates, levels, and each conditional requirement; mark conditional rows for their stated revisit.
Mt. Coronet North Passage
Use Strength through the mountain's northern rooms and emerge on the frozen road to Snowpoint.
Source maps
Mount Coronet North 1F Room 2 and Mount Coronet North 1F Room 1.
Wild / special rows13Trainer rows0Visible / hidden items4 / 6
Route Plan
Enter Mt. Coronet from Route 211 East; push Strength boulders only after collecting nearby items; clear cave trainers; use Rock Smash side pockets; follow the northern exit; verify no boulder blocks the return path; step onto Route 216.
- This is the Snowpoint transit passage, not the Spear Pillar ascent. Rock Climb remains unavailable until Candice is defeated.
- Strength boulders remain in their moved positions until the map reloads, so a mistaken push can be reset by leaving and re-entering.

Source maps

Wild / special rows10Trainer rows9Visible / hidden items4 / 1
Route Plan
Clear the lower snow path; visit Snowbound Lodge for a free rest; battle trainers on both ridges; collect hidden snow items with Dowsing; climb every reachable staircase; exit north to the blizzard route.
- Snow does not yet create Route 217's deepest movement penalty, making Route 216 the better place to level newly added Ice counters.
- Several Rock Climb walls are visible but inaccessible and should be reserved for the post-Candice return.

Route Plan
Keep a straight landmark-based line through deep snow; visit the southwest and northeast houses; find HM08 behind the western house; speak to its owner for the Icicle Plate; clear every trainer; use Dowsing around trees and drifts; enter Acuity Lakefront; turn east for Snowpoint.
- HM08 is a ground pickup behind the hiker's house and is easy to miss in the blizzard. The hiker rewards honesty after it is found.
- Acuity's Galactic guards leave only after Candice is defeated, even though Rock Climb is found before the Gym.

Puzzles, Warps, And Switches
- Deep snow slows movement and hides item balls. Use houses, paired trees, and trainers as fixed landmarks, then sweep horizontal bands with the Dowsing Machine.
- At Acuity Lakefront, the climbable wall still requires the Icicle Badge; follow the east path to Snowpoint instead.
Completion Checklist
- Complete the currently reachable part of this route plan: Keep a straight landmark-based line through deep snow; visit the southwest and northeast houses; find HM08 behind the western house; speak to its owner for the Icicle Plate; clear every trainer; use Dowsing around trees and drifts; enter Acuity Lakefront; turn east for Snowpoint.
- Review all 19 encounter rows across the per-area tables, including game markers, method band, time-of-day rates, levels, and each conditional requirement; mark conditional rows for their stated revisit.

Route Plan
Heal and restock; inspect the temple entrance for its later National Dex lock; enter the Gym; use long slides to smash central snowballs; fight every trainer; reset the room if alignment is lost; save before Candice; carry Fighting coverage but protect it from Medicham.
- Candice's Medicham is not an Ice type and punishes a plan built only around Fighting moves; Flying, Ghost, or strong neutral damage provides insurance.
- Snowpoint Temple stays closed until the National Dex and a later Cynthia permission scene, so Regigigas is postgame content.

Puzzles, Warps, And Switches
- Snowballs break only when hit after a sufficiently long uninterrupted slide. Start from the outer high platforms, align with a snowball, and use the full lane for momentum.
- Break the central lane's obstructing snowballs first, then slide from the rear platform directly to Candice's stairs. Leaving the Gym resets snowballs.

Route Plan
Leave Snowpoint west; Rock Climb at Acuity Lakefront; enter the Galactic lake state; approach Barry and Jupiter; watch Jupiter taunt Barry and leave; collect available items; Fly to Veilstone for the Galactic HQ raid.
- Original Diamond and Pearl contain no player-versus-Jupiter battle at Lake Acuity. Trainer ID 407 belongs to the later Spear Pillar tag battle and must not be attached to this scene.
