National Park is a Johto park that is adjacent to Route 35 and Route 36. Its main, and only attraction is the daily Bug Catching Contest in which the player and NPCs compete for who can catch the best bug. Because of its great rewards, it is a location that is often visited.

Bug Catching Contest

Main article: Bug Catching Area

The main attraction of the National Park is its Bug Catching Contest. Once every 24 hours, the player can enter the contest, in which he or she competes against several NPCs for who can catch the best bug within 20 minutes. On top of the entry being free, the rewards are also very diverse and usually excellent, making it one of the best daily activities.

Moving Pokecenter

Inside the south stop house, a Moving Pokecenter Agent will take the player to a very small room called Moving Pokecenter. Despite it lack of esthetics, this location has the main features of a regular Pokecenter; A Nurse Joy that will heal the player's Pokémon, a PC to deposit and withdraw Pokémons, as well as the ability to trade and enter PvP matches while inside this room. This is most particularly an excellent location to prepare for the Bug Catching Contest.

Move Tutors

X-Scissor Tutor

A Move tutor for the move X-Scissor can be found at the very end of the path behind the fence that starts east of the south gate. He will teach the move to any compatible Pokémon for the price of 15,000.

Signal Beam Tutor

A Move tutor for the move Signal Beam can be found in the path north-east, beyond the fence. He will teach the move to any compatible Pokémon for the price of 8,000.

Quick Claw

Tess, the lass with a Persian close to the south gate, will give the player a Quick Claw simply for talking to her. She will disappear afterwards, making it a one-time reward.

Sinnoh Quest (Novi)

Novi, found very close to the east gate, is the fourth trainer of the quest to enter Sinnoh. After having defeated Nova in New Mauville, she will ask the player to show her a Nidoqueen. This Pokémon can be any level, but it must have been caught by the player.

Upon showing her the Nidoqueen, she will challenge the player. Her team is estimated to be level 100, and as such, the player should prepare before the battle. If the player loses against Novi, she can immediately be rechallenged, although she will always ask for the Nidoqueen and as such must always be part of the player's party.

After defeating her, she will say that there are 2 more trainers to fight in order. The next one will be Oswald in Olivine City's Cafe.

Aerodactyl,Alakazam,Sylveon,Staraptor,Salamence,Vaporeon
