Ruby & Sapphire Fortree City

Built high in the treetops and linked by rope bridges, Fortree trades streets for canopy. Winona's Flying-type gym is the prize, reached once the Devon Scope reveals the Kecleon blocking the way.

Fortree City is in Hoenn, with Route 119 to the west. In the story it comes after Weather Institute and continues east to Route 120.

Fortree City Guide

  • Most cities have a Contest Hall, a Pokemon Center with a trade corner upstairs, and a Mart. Slateport runs an open-air market, and Lilycove has the region's only Department Store plus a second Contest venue. Pokemon Centers heal you for free between gym attempts.

  • Not in the cities. You make one out on the routes by using the Secret Power move on a marked tree, bush, or cave wall. After that you furnish it with decorations sold in Lilycove and Slateport, and linked friends can drop by to see it.
