Ruby & Sapphire Route 121
West of Lilycove City, Route 121 passes the Safari Zone gate and borders Route 122, the water you Surf to reach Mt. Pyre. Three Team grunts wait on the path, then leave for Mt. Pyre as you near.
Route 121 is in Hoenn, with Lilycove City to the east, Route 122 to the south, and Route 120 to the west. In the story it comes after Scorched Slab and continues north to Safari Zone.

Route 121 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.
