Route 27

Where?

East of New Bark Town, towards Kanto. If you want the water, just surf a few tiles east from New Bark, but if it's the grass you're interested in, it's actually easier to access from the other side, since otherwise you need to go through Tohjo Falls and surf a lot besides that. Just fly to Victory Road, go down Route 26 to the house with the woman who heals your Pokémon, head straight down from there, jump over the ledge left of the grass patch and head left from there until you jump left off another ledge, go down the stairs on the left and down two more ledges, then head left, go down the ledge at the end of that path, head left across the bridge, go up past the Psychic and then go up the stairs above him and go into the small grass patch on the left.

Notes

That house on Route 26 with the woman who heals your Pokémon is of course still the most readily accessible healing if you're training here, though thanks to the ledges, you'll have to go a slightly different route back there: go right over the bridge and head on straight right until you have to turn up, then do so and make your way up through the two grass patches to be able to walk straight up to the house.

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.
