Ruby & Sapphire Mossdeep City
An island city of two halves, the Space Center and the gym. Tate and Liza run that gym together, the only Leaders you battle two-on-two. Return after the League and Steven leaves you a Beldum.
Mossdeep City is in Hoenn, with Route 127 to the south. In the story you arrive from Route 124 to the west and continue north to Route 125.

Steven hands you a Beldum at his house, the slow start to a Metagross that anchors plenty of late-game teams. Mossdeep's water otherwise runs Sharpedo on the rod and an ordinary Tentacool spread.

TRAINERS
Mossdeep is home to Hoenn's first forced double battle: twins Tate and Liza fight side by side, their Solrock and Lunatone covering each other up to level 42. Bring two strong attackers with Dark, Ghost, or Bug coverage, since leaving either twin standing lets it heal the other. A few Psychics guard the warp puzzle before them.
Mossdeep 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.
