Route 12 (Japanese: １２番道路 Route 12) is a route in northern Kalos, connecting Shalour City, Coumarine City, and Azure Bay. The route is also known as Fourrage Road (Japanese: フラージュ通り Fourrage Road). This route is the location of Baa de Mer Ranch, where several Skiddo can be ridden on. The Skiddo can be used to access areas of the route that are blocked by fences or ledges.
Route description
Route 12 is divided apart by a body of water, requiring Surf to get across and thus preventing the player from advancing past it until they've beaten Korrina at the Shalour Gym and thus become able to use said HM move outside of battle. Near the Shalour City gate stands a Pokémon Breeder, who, after the player has earned the Rumble Badge, will give them his Lapras as a gift. The other side of the route is decorated by fields of grass and yellow flowers.
Baa de Mer Ranch
Main article: Baa de Mer RanchBaa de Mer Ranch is a ranch dedicated solely for Skiddo. The player can ride a Skiddo to access areas beyond otherwise unsurpassable ledges. A part of the ranch fence is broken down, allowing the player to ride Skiddo on the main route as well. While riding a Skiddo, the player cannot encounter wild Pokémon, interact with NPCs or signs, use field moves, or use items like the Dowsing Machine. Skiddo cannot be ridden outside of the route. It can be dismounted at any point, except for tall grass or flowers.

In the anime
Route 12 first appeared in Splitting Heirs! as a forested path, which would remain a consistent setting for the route throughout many of its appearance. A Pokémon Center located on this route appeared in The Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos!. Lagoon Town is also located along the way, appearing in Dreaming a Performer's Dream!. Serena caught herself a Pancham when the group visited the town.
In A Campus Reunion!, the group visited another town located on this route. It houses an academy where Clemont had studied Electric-type Pokémon at when he was younger, and was where he reunited with the Luxio that he had befriended as a Shinx during his academy studies.
The group met up with Sanpei on this route in A Stealthy Challenge!. They visited the Baa de Mer Ranch in A Race for Home!, meeting Serena's mother Grace during their visit. Serena challenged her mother to a Skiddo race to defend her new dream of becoming a Pokémon Performer and won.
in Facing the Grand Design!, the group passed by a rocky hill called Grace Tower. The forest surrounding it was almost destroyed by the evil, psychopathic Malamar who plotted to change the world, but they were stopped in time by Ash, his friends, Officer Jenny, and Team Rocket, with some help from the forest Pokémon.
In A Slippery Encounter!, a Goomy fell from the sky and was later caught by Ash after being rehydrated in a nearby river.
