Route 30
is a route in southcentral Johto that connects Cherrygrove City and Route 31.
Geography
Route 30 is the second route encountered by Trainers in Johto. From its southern terminus at Cherrygrove City, the route turns northeast to avoid a cliff on the route that overlooks a patch of grass. Heading south, this cliff can be used to avoid the grass altogether.
The route emerges in an open area just north of the cliff. In the center of the area is the Berry House, where the player may learn about Apricorns and Berries. To the left of this house is an Apricorn tree. West of the tree is a southbound-only path containing a cliff preventing northbound access. East of the house is a two-way path that runs along a small pond and through another area of grass.
North of the grass patch, the route comes to another open area. Here, Route 30 splits into two segments, a western path that leads to Route 31 and an eastern path that leads to the house of Mr. Pokémon. Initially, the player must take the east path north through a series of grassy areas to Mr. Pokémon's house, located in the northeast corner of the route, to meet Professor Oak and receive the Pokédex. Mr. Pokémon also gives the player an Egg to take to Professor Elm. The western branch of the route is impassable until after the player has defeated his/her rival back in New Bark Town. Once this is complete, the player may continue northward, weaving around cliffs and Trainers and passing through grassy areas towards Dark Cave and Route 31.
There is a small Cut-able tree near Mr. Pokémon's house that allows for passage between the two halves of the route, which is separated by a dense forest for most of the route.
There is also a fake tree near the south end of the route that will allow access to a small pond and, once accross it to Cherrygrove City, headbutt trees containing rare Pokemon.
Points of interest
Mr. Pokémon's house

Mr. Pokémon gives the player the Mystery Egg that the player will have to deliver to Prof. Elm in New Bark Town.
Berry House
In this house resides a man who has mastery over tending to Apricorns and Berries, and he'll pass on the information to the player.
He will also give away a free sample of a Pink Apricorn and a Qualot Berry on his first visit.
