Tropica Island

Tropica Island is named so because it is a Tropical Island, covered in palm trees. Though this island does not have a gym, it is a good place to stop on your journey. The mart has many cheaply priced goods and you can find all sorts of berries on bushes. Also there are various species of rarer Pokemon here. The chance of finding a shiny is much higher here. You can skip this island all together, but few would want to.
