View source for Water route

A '''sea route''' or '''water route''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|水道|すいどう}}''' ''water route''), is a [[route]] that crosses a body of water, and may be made up nearly entirely of [[Water tile|water]], with only a few islands. Sea routes typically begin to appear late in the game, and can usually only be traversed by using {{m|Surf}}.

==Characteristics==
Sea routes are often among the longest routes in the games, often densely-populated with {{tc|Swimmer}}s who use {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Unlike land routes, [[wild Pokémon]] can attack the player on sea routes at any time. Typically, {{p|Tentacool}} and {{p|Tentacruel}} are common sights.

Some sea routes in [[Johto]] have {{m|whirlpool}}s blocking the way, while some in [[Hoenn]] have {{DL|Water tile|Deep water|spots}} where it is deep enough to {{m|dive}} [[underwater]]. Certain sea routes also contain {{DL|Water tile|Currents|current}}s which force the player to move in a single direction.

==List of sea routes==
The following is a list of sea routes in the [[Pokémon world]]. This list includes those routes which are numbered sequentially in a region as well as those which do not have numbers, but names instead, and help to link between numbered routes.
