Ruby & Sapphire Route 105

Regice waits frozen inside the Island Cave, one of the tiny rock islets scattered across the open sea south of Dewford.

Route 105 is in Hoenn, with Route 104 to the north and Island Cave to the north. In the story it comes after Rusturf Tunnel and continues south to Route 106.

Route 105 Guide

  • Several routes do. Ruby drops Seedot and Zangoose into slots where Sapphire gives you Lotad and Seviper, and the caves split Mawile against Sableye. Check the version column before you spend an hour hunting something your copy can't catch. The rest of the species are shared.

  • Reach for the Super Rod on most routes, but two of Hoenn's prize catches ignore rods altogether. Feebas only bites on six hidden tiles of Route 119, and Relicanth comes from diving the seaweed off Routes 124 and 126, not from any rod. For the rest, the Super Rod pulls the deep-water species the Old and Good Rods can't reach.
