Luckily, if players are just trying to get straight through and not go for the extra items, then this maze can be a lot easier. So forPokemon Brilliant DiamondandShining Pearlfans looking to breeze through Victory Road, here is how to do it.

First, trainers will need to bring Pokemon capable of using Surf, Rock Climb, and Strength. So anHM slave like Bidoofwill be quite helpful through the journey. Once inside, go across the wooden bridge and make a right turn across the one on the right. Then, go up the bridge facing north and rock climb down the loose rocks on the right.
Once down, head left until there is a stairway and go up it. Keep going past the trainer until there are two stairways to the left. In the new room, go down and Rock Smash the two light brown rocks. After that, use strength on the gray rocks; pushing the right one first, the left one second, and the bottom one last. Keep going left, but be careful with the next rock puzzle, doing it wrong can trap gamers.

Fans have to push the left rock first, directly across from the enemy trainer, or else they’ll have to leave and reset the room. Push the left gray rock down and then circle around and break the brown rock below, setting the gray one back in place and continuing down the path. Once reaching the next three gray rocks, go north to the downward staircase to enter the next room.
This will bring players back to the first room but in a previously unreachable location. Go right until there are some loose rocks and climb down. Then follow the path left, up, and then right until there is another downward staircase. This should bring trainers into a room filled with water.

Go right and down into the first pool of water and use theSurf HM moveto get across. After defeating the trainer, go up again and ride up the waterfall to the north. Go up and left until there is a small square with a dragon-type trainer. After gamers beat them, go left then down, and enter the first staircase on the left.
In the last room, go straight until the path opens up south. Then, turn east and climb up the rocks and take on the dragon trainer guarding the bridge. Once they’re defeated, go up and through the lighted doorway to the left to exit Victory Road.
