Ruby & Sapphire Route 124

Broad blue water spreads east of Mossdeep, riddled with Dive spots over sunken seaweed. Brothers on the surface trade rare prizes for the colored shards you bring up from below.

Route 124 is in Hoenn, with Route 125 to the east, Route 126 to the south, and Lilycove City to the west. In the story it comes after Team Aqua Hideout and continues east to Mossdeep City.

Route 124 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.
