Role
When the player first enters the route, a pair of Team Yell Grunts is trying to let a Silicobra rest undisturbed. They blame the player and Hop for causing too much noise. Hop, being in a state of dejection after his recent loss against Bede, ends up losing, requiring the player to defeat both Grunts before they leave. After voicing his insecurities to the player, Hop leaves. The player then briefly meets Opal, who gives the player her League Card before leaving as well.

Route description
Route 6 is a desert-like route with high cliffs and sand, with only a single pool of water being found in the area. At the northern part of the route, which is elevated higher than the southern part and must be accessed from there by taking ladders, is a Pokémon Camp. Next to the Camp is Cara Liss, a scientist who can combine Fossils the player finds into hybrid Fossil Pokémon. Passing underneath a large stone arc and past a large Dugtrio statue provides access to Stow-on-Side in the north.
