Route 126 (Japanese: １２６ばんすいどう Sea Route 126) is a circular water route located in east Hoenn. The route encircles Sootopolis City, a city built in the interior of an inactive volcanic island, much like Route 122 encircles what is said to be the Cave of Origin's counterpart, Mt. Pyre. To the north of the route is Route 124, and to the east is Route 127.

Like Route 124, Route 126 features a series of underwater passages that can be reached by using Dive.

Route description

Heading clockwise from the northernmost point on the route, Route 126 proceeds east, meeting the southern terminus of Route 124 after a short distance. Southeast of this point, the route intersects a channel that leads to Route 127. Directly west of the middle of the channel is a Swimmer, one of three on the route. To the southwest, near the base of the volcano, is the second Swimmer. The third Swimmer is in the westernmost area of the route, accessible only by utilizing the network of underwater pathways.

An additional five trainers were added to the route in Pokémon Emerald.

Underwater

Unlike Route 124, which had only small pools of deep water scattered throughout the route, most of Route 126 is deep enough to Dive into, including the area surrounding the volcano base. On the ocean floor, trainers can pass through seaweed to catch wild Pokémon as well as enter Sootopolis City, the entrance of which is located on the southern side of the volcano on the ocean floor.
