Ruby & Sapphire Route 129

Heavy swells batter the region's eastern edge here, the roughest crossing on the long way to Pacifidlog.

Route 129 is in Hoenn, with Route 128 to the north. In the story it comes after Cave of Origin and continues west to Route 130.

Pokemon Encounters

Wailord surfaces at just 1 percent, the largest Pokemon in the game and a rare sight caught wild rather than raised from Wailmer. Surfing otherwise turns up Tentacool, Wingull, and Pelipper, and Sharpedo only bites on the Super Rod.

Route 129 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.
