Route 17

8 Pokémon can be caught at Route 17 in Unova — highlighted on the map below.

Almost entirely open water, Route 17 in southwestern Unova is entered by Surfing westward off Route 1, with strong currents that carry travelers south toward Route 18 and occasional shallow spots where they can stand. The tricky currents can make Route 18 hard to reach. The P2 Laboratory occupies the route's northern portion, and the Plasma Frigate moors there for good in Black 2 and White 2 after Ghetsis is beaten. Inside the gate house on the Route 1 side, an electric billboard sits dark for lack of local news.
