Route 26
Where?
South of Victory Road; if you fly to Victory Road, you actually end up on this route in front of the gatehouse. From there, just go down the ledges on the left side, down the pass a little on the right and you'll see the grass below you, past yet another ledge.
Notes
Though there is no Pokémon Center in the immediate vicinity, the house above and right of that grass patch has a young woman who will heal your Pokémon if you talk to her.
How to read this table
The bolded horizontal headings stand for the main condition that affects the following slots; the big cells on the left side describe which circumstances must apply for the rows they span to be active. The percentages tell you the chance of a Pokémon from this slot (row) appearing for any given wild encounter, provided the condition on the left holds. Each condition (i.e. each bolded horizontal heading) always has the same number of slots actually active.
If all this confuses you, and I don't blame you, just set the conditions in the form above to what actually applies for you right now, which will hide all the inactive slots and leave only the Pokémon you're actually going to be seeing. This will also recalculate the statistics at the bottom of the table accordingly.
