Pokémon world routes

Role

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, when the player first visits the route, Leon offers to teach the player and Hop how to catch Pokémon. However, if the player has already caught a Pokémon, he assumes they already know how and leaves.

At Professor Magnolia's house, Hop asks the Professor to convince Leon to endorse him and the player for the Gym Challenge. After a little convincing, Leon agrees to endorse the two if they have a battle that'll impress him. The player and Hop battle, and, regardless of the outcome, Leon agrees to endorse both of them. Soon after, two Wishing Stars fall from the sky, and by the next morning, Professor Magnolia has fit each of them into a Dynamax Band, which she gives to the player and Hop.

Route description

The main section of Route 2 leads over a stone bridge and down a gentle, grassy hillside to Professor Magnolia's house. West of the Professor's house lies a big lake, which can be crossed with an upgraded Rotom Bike. In the middle of the lake is an island, and at the northwest corner of the lake is a short, dead-end path, which contains wild Pokémon on higher levels than the main part of the route, as well as TM69 (Psycho Cut). In the south, the lake also connects to a river, which can be traversed all the way down to the stone bridge at the route entrance
