Route 206 is also known as Cycling Road in the Sinnoh Region. It's home to Wayward Cave and various new Pokémon. It connects Eterna City to Route 207.
You can only go down Cycling Road if you have a bike or the people at the gate will send you back. Like the previous regions' Cycling Roads, it's a downward slope so coming back up is going to be slow.
Most trainers zoom down the Cycling Road so fast they don't realize a cuttable tree to the right at the end which is where you will find the grass for Pokémon, another trainer, items and Wayward Cave in the back.
As you are going down the road you will face a couple trainers who use Electric, Fire and Flying Types. In the gate house at the bottom of Cycling Road is a girl who will give you a Flag for your bike.

To Wayward Cave[edit | edit source]
Go to the left of the gate house and there will be a berry patch with 2x Razz Berries. Go to the right of the gate house and cut the tree then head up a couple of steps to your right is another cuttable tree where there is a Full Heal (DP). Head over the bridge and under Cycling Road where you will see a Burn Heal. Three steps to the right of the Honey tree is a hidden Elixir (DP)/Ether (Plat). Continue through the grass and next to some rocks is a Super Repel. Go under the road and in between the two bigger grass patches is a hidden Potion (DP). Just above you is a berry patch with 2x Rawst Berries. Go back under the road and continue to go up where you will find Hiker Theodore. Go underneath the road and you will find a Poison Barb. Underneath the road is the hidden entrance to Wayward Cave that you want to take if you can use Strength. If you can't then you can come back here later as the other entrance is pointless until your Pokémon are higher levels. Head back towards the gate house and go down to Route 207.

Pokémon found[edit | edit source]
Wild Pokémon can only be encountered on this route if you can use Cut. Cut away the small tree to the right of the gate building at the bottom of Cycling Road to enter the area of the route where wild Pokémon are found.
Here you can find a Stunky in Diamond, Gligar in Platinum, Bronzor in DP, and Ponyta in all 3 games for the very first time.
There is also a Honey tree here if you want to test your luck for a Munchlax.
