Camomons Battle House (Optional)

One last training opportunity / Pokémon Unbound
One last training opportunity

You have all eight Badges and are eligible to participate in the Pokémon League – but if you feel your Pokémon team needs a little bit more training, the Camomons Battle House in Seaport City is now open to you.

Six trainers to battle as many times as you wish / Pokémon Unbound
Six trainers to battle as many times as you wish

However, all battles follow the ‘Camomons’ ruleset.

It’s the same ruleset that applied in the Polder Gym: you and your opponent’s Pokémon change their types to the types of the first two moves they know.

Victory Road lies to the east / Pokémon Unbound
Victory Road lies to the east

First things first:

There’s a Route Master on Route 18, so it’s worth it to find and defeat all the trainers here.

Swimmer Elsie and the first rock / Pokémon Unbound
Swimmer Elsie and the first rock

Swimmer Elsie is guarding the first stretch of water, between the shore and the first rocky island you’ll encounter.

Swimmer Darrin is on the east side / Pokémon Unbound
Swimmer Darrin is on the east side

Once you’re past the rock, you’ll see Swimmer Darrin, as well as a bit of an opening in the barrier to the north. Surf into it and head west first.

Psychic Preston / Pokémon Unbound
Psychic Preston

There’s a lone trainer on a sand island – this is Psychic Preston.

When you defeat him, surf east to the other side of this little pocket.

Black Belt Daisuke, and a Vivillon / Pokémon Unbound
Black Belt Daisuke, and a Vivillon

You’ll find a Black Belt, and the Marine Vivillon is also here; you can defeat it for the mission (or catch it if you can).

Then head back through the opening into the main route channel and continue east.

Swimmer Spencer / Pokémon Unbound
Swimmer Spencer

Yet another swimmer is here to block your path – get rid of him and keep on surfing to the east through this long ocean passage.

The next rock, and Swimmer Faye / Pokémon Unbound
The next rock, and Swimmer Faye

Eventually you’ll come to another rock, with Swimmer Faye lurking near it. Defeat her and continue on.

Another rock, this time with the Route Master on it / Pokémon Unbound
Another rock, this time with the Route Master on it

There’s another island to the southeast of Faye that has the Route Master on it – you won’t be able to challenge her until all other trainers on Route 18 are defeated. Make a note of her location though.

Surf through the gap just east of her and you’ll see another sand island.

Fisherman Darian’s island / Pokémon Unbound
Fisherman Darian’s island

Challenge and defeat Fisherman Darian here, and you can move on back to the main passage.

Keep surfing east / Pokémon Unbound
Keep surfing east

You’ll need to surf across a long stretch of empty water here, but at the end of it is your ultimate destination.

The League is beyond the waterfall / Pokémon Unbound
The League is beyond the waterfall

Swimmer Aimee is at the foot of a giant waterfall that serves as the gate to the Pokémon League.

But before you climb it, go east and you’ll see one last sand island.

Fisherman Stan and Ninja Boy Hayden / Pokémon Unbound
Fisherman Stan and Ninja Boy Hayden

There are two trainers here – Fisherman Stan, out in the open, and Ninja Boy Hayden, who is hiding in a sand mound.

Once you’ve taken care of both of them, it’s time to climb that waterfall.

The Victory Road Pokecenter

You’re not quite at Victory Road yet – just a little way further.

Jump onto land and head north.

A gift for our journey / Pokémon Unbound
A gift for our journey

There’s a Pokémon Center here that acts as a fast travel point – and it’s probably a valuable sight after beating all those trainers.

Tip: Speaking to the man outside the Pokecenter gets you 10 Max Repels, in case you’re sick of wild Pokémon.

A very daunting challenge / Pokémon Unbound
A very daunting challenge

The cameraman inside the Pokémon Center gives probably one of, if not the most, challenging missions of the game.

Not only do you have to beat the Elite Four with a team made up of just one type of Pokémon, you’ll have to do it eighteen times for each type.

This is something best left until way way later into the endgame, if done at all. But if you manage to do it you will receive a lot of goodies, which include:

  • 1,000BP for the Battle Frontier
  • 18 Big Nuggets
  • And a HeartGold/SoulSilver costume for the Costume Box

Head back outside the Pokémon Center and go north.

There’s a strange Rancher back here / Pokémon Unbound
There’s a strange Rancher back here

If you talk to the Rancher behind a raised hill just north of the Center, and answer ‘no’ to her question, she’ll give you P1000. This can be repeated every day.

The Gym Badge Checkpoint / Pokémon Unbound
The Gym Badge Checkpoint

Victory Road proper starts at the checkpoint west of the Pokémon Center, where there’s a policeman ready to check your Badges.

Once you show him you have all eight, he moves aside and you can begin the ascent.

Ace Trainer Shannon / Pokémon Unbound
Ace Trainer Shannon

Keep going north, and you’ll pass by an Ace Trainer Shannon and have to climb some stairs.

Ace Trainer Colby / Pokémon Unbound
Ace Trainer Colby

The final trainer on the route is Ace Trainer Colby, near the Trainer Tips sign.

But with all of the challengers on Route 18 defeated, it’s time to go back to the rock and defeat the Route Master.

Professor Log wants to see you off

Go back to Victory Road and you’ll see a familiar old man waiting for you at the entrance to the cave system.

The Lucario cult wants us to join / Pokémon Unbound
The Lucario cult wants us to join

Professor Log wishes you luck and hands over some handy items:

  • 2 Blue Shards
  • 2 Red Shards
  • 2 Yellow Shards
  • 2 Green Shards

You can use these to trade with move trainers all across Borrius.

Time to take on the rest of Victory Road / Pokémon Unbound
Time to take on the rest of Victory Road

The main part of Victory Road is through the cave, and the Pokémon League lies at the other end of it.
