Ruby & Sapphire Route 115

Windswept cliffs carry this route along the west coast between Rustboro and Meteor Falls. Ledges drop you toward the shore, and the sea below opens up once you can Surf.

Route 115 is in Hoenn, with Rustboro City to the south. In the story you arrive from Meteor Falls to the north and it comes before Mt. Chimney.

Swablu turns up again here for a second crack at the Altaria line, sharing the grass with Taillow and an already-evolved Swellow. Jigglypuff at 10 percent is the odd one out, a quick pickup for an early Wigglytuff.

Route 115 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.
