Route 23

20 Pokémon can be caught at Route 23 in Unova — highlighted on the map below.

Unova's final numbered route, Route 23 climbs through the region's northeast from the Giant Chasm toward Victory Road and only opens after Ghetsis is defeated in the chasm's deepest chamber. The mountainous road features ponds and crevasses, and its northwestern section poses a puzzle built around Strength and Cut. Raised platforms and narrow gaps between trees make finding the correct path a challenge.
