Victory Road is the last stop in the journey to becoming Pokémon Champion. Its caverns and slopes must be navigated thoroughly in order to reach the Borrius Pokémon League.
There are a ton of trainers between the entrance and the exit, and a lot of post-game encounters and secrets to discover here as well.
