How to Open Route 212 in Pokemon Platinum

"Pokemon Platinum" is a role-playing video game released exclusively for the Nintendo DS. You take on the role of a 10-year-old child who tries to be the best Pokemon trainer in the world. Route 212 features the Pokemon Mansion, which has useful items like the amulet coin. Before you can access this route, however, you must defeat Maylene in Veilstone City and receive the Cobble Badge.

Instructions

- 1
  Travel to Veilstone City. The game naturally takes you here as you progress through the story, and you cannot go to this city until that point.
- 2
  Enter Veilstone Gym. This is the largest building in the city and has the characteristic symbol in front of it: half a Pokeball.
- 3
  Defeat Maylene. Her Pokemon are a level-28 Meditite, a level-29 Machoke and a level-32 Lucario. All of these are fighting-type Pokemon, though Meditite is also psychic and Lucario is also steel-type. Psychic Pokemon can help you take out Machoke and Meditite. Ghosts and dragons can help you defeat Lucario, as can a strong fire-type. When you defeat Maylene, she will give you the Cobble Badge.
- 4
  Exit the city through the southern path. This takes you to Route 212.
