This route features the Season Research Lab, where scientists labour day and night to investigate the effects of the seasons. It is also home to Deerling, an unique Pokemon whose appearance changes depending on the season.
There is a scientist in the Season Research Lab who wishes to see all four Deerling forms. Satisfy his demands (which requires around 3 months of game time, unless you “cheat”) and you’ll be rewarded with a Leaf Stone .
Simply follow the path; it’s a simple one-way trip. There are a couple of trainers but many can be avoided. When you pass the hiker on the bridge the house here can act as a Pokémon Center, handy considering the trials to come.
Keep running upwards and you’ll soon find a yellow insignia seemingly blocking a doorway. Click on it and the fifth gym leader will catch up, open the cave, and then give you TM78 Bulldoze . Make sure your team is ready, and then enter Chargestone Cave…
