Route 120 begins as an east-west route, carrying on the alignment of Fortree City to its west. The route, bordered by a small canyon to the south and a forest to the north, continues east, passing a Trainer before reaching the first area of grass on the route. By trekking through the grass at the westernmost point of the patch, Trainers can descend a flight of stairs to access a small ledge on the shore of the water inside the canyon. From this point, Trainers can Surf across the water to reach the Scorched Slab, a partially flooded cave.
Returning to the main path of the route, Route 120 runs along the northern edge of the grass patch before turning south through the patch. Gabby and Ty are often found near the point where the route turns south. At the southern edge of the patch, Bird Keeper Robert waits to battle. Near the Trainer, Route 120 curves to the west and crosses the canyon on a long bridge. Steven Stone appears on this bridge and gives the player the Devon Scope.
On the other side of the bridge, the route curves to the south, then to the east, as it enters a rainy, puddle-filled area of the route containing three Trainers. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a Bird Keeper prevents the player from advancing until they have the Feather Badge.
At the easternmost point of this segment is a path leading to a soft soil patch blocked by a Cut-able tree. Directly south of the third Trainer, the route enters a maze of long grass. Since in the Generation III games it is impossible the ride a bicycle in long grass, it can be navigated as a maze. Alternately, it is possible to walk through the grass, avoiding several Trainers. At the southern corners of the maze are a pair of ledges that regulate access to and from the maze between the two forks of Route 120 created by a small pond in the middle of the road. Heading south, Trainers must hop the ledge in the southeast corner to reach the second bridge on the route south of the ledge. After crossing the structure, Route 120 comes to a three-way intersection. The northern path can be utilized by northbound travelers only, as a well-placed ledge prohibits access to this intersection from the north. Likewise, the path across the bridge is limited to southbound travelers. Heading south from the intersection, Route 120 continues.
Roughly ten paces south of the intersection, a small set of stairs leads to the shore of the small pond. Near the stairs is Bug Maniac BrandonRS/JeffreyE. To his south is another patch of long grass off to the east of the route as well as another three-way intersection. The main path of Route 120 continues east to Route 121. The left branch leads to the Ancient Tomb.
Ancient Tomb connector
To the southwest of the intersection is a woman who freely gives out rare Berries. Near her is a soft soil patch containing three Pecha Berry plants. To her north is a flight of stairs leading to an upper area of the route.
In this area, there is another soft soil patch containing three or four different varieties of Berries, as well as a small pond with Full Heal on the opposite shore. Continuing north, however, the path trudges through a patch of long grass before ascending a set of stairs leading to a plateau on the route. In the center of the plateau is the Ancient Tomb.
At the south-west corner of the route, there is a BeautyRSE/Aroma LadyORAS that will give the player one Berry per day. The type of Berry she gives depends on the player's Trainer ID number.
Swarm Swarms originate in the games listed, and can be passed between games by mixing records, allowing any game to have any swarm. During a swarm, non-swarm encounter rates are halved.

A Kecleon appears on the western part of the route as part of the story.
Additionally, there are five more that can be revealed using the Devon Scope. They can be found in the following locations:
Behind the route sign in the north of the route
Blocking the steps down to the Scorched Slab
In the middle of the path connecting the two Pokémon Rangers in the long grass maze
By the four plots of soft soil south of the Ancient Tomb, north of the westernmost plot

Route 120 appeared from PS612 to PS614. After Sapphire had been defeated by Zinnia, Aarune found her and brought her to recover at Wally's Secret Base on Route 120. While Emerald was trying to contact Sapphire through Hoopa's rings, he ended up creating a portal to the Secret Base, while another one of Hoopa's portals remained open in Johto, where Ruby and Norman had gone to find Rayquaza. When Rayquaza spotted Groudon and Kyogre at Hoopa's location through the portal, it attempted to attack them. In a desperate attempt to prevent the three Pokémon from getting into a battle, Hoopa brought its portals together, thus causing Rayquaza to burst out of Wally's Secret Base.
As a fragment of Grand Meteor Delta was falling towards Route 120, Hoopa used its portal to transport Groudon and Kyogre there as well to help stop it. However, even the three Legendary Pokémon's combined signature moves were unable to fully destroy the giant meteor fragment, causing them to be hit by the falling debris. Their efforts were observed by Red, Green, Amber, Blaise, and Giovanni from aboard the Team Rocket airship.
