Route 128

Route 128

With all eight Hoenn League Gym Badges in hand, it's finally time to challenge the Pokémon League! Wallace directed you to an island in the east that holds the city of Ever Grande. To get there, leave Sootopolis City behind and use Surf to travel southeastward. Return to the ring of shallow water that marks the location of the Seafloor Cavern, then turn eastward.

Ever Grande City (South)

Ever Grande City

Perched high above the ocean, Ever Grande City is lush with flowers. The island is divided by a large mountain that houses Victory Road.

The Tallest Hurdle

A massive waterfall keeps all but the strongest Trainers from reaching the city. Use the HM move to climb the wall of water and reach the nearby Pokémon Center. Take a moment to make any final preparations before venturing into the gauntlet known as Victory Road.

Victory Road

Victory Road, 1F

Victory Road, B1F

Victory Road, B2F

Victory Road, the long and grueling tunnel through the mountainside, is the final challenge on the road to the Pokémon League. Like the waterfall outside, it helps ensure that only the strongest and most determined Trainers make it through to the other side. The field moves Surf, Strength, Rock Smash, and Waterfall are required to reach the exit, and dimly-lit areas make Flash optional, as well.
