Emerald Route 122

South of Lilycove the water sits empty except for one thing: the lonely peak of Mt. Pyre rising straight up out of the waves.

Route 122 is in Hoenn, with Route 121 to the north and Route 123 to the south. In the story it comes after Safari Zone and continues north to Mt. Pyre.

Route 122 Guide

  • No, and losing that split is a real perk. On one Emerald cartridge you can raise both Zangoose and Seviper, both halves of every version pair, with nothing to trade and no version column to check. A few species that skipped Ruby and Sapphire show up here too.

  • You'll want all of them. The three rods pull different fished species as you trade up from Old to Good to Super, Surf opens the surface water where Wingull and Sharpedo swim, and Dive reaches the underwater seaweed on Routes 124 to 126 where Clamperl and Relicanth live. Dive comes from the Mossdeep gym.
