Walkthrough:Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire/Part 18

This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
These pages follow the original Game Boy Advance iteration, not Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The guide for those games can be found here.

Route 129

Route 129

Route 129 is located in the southeast part of the ocean, near Route 128 to the north and Route 130 to the west. Many Trainers visit this route to train their Pokémon before challenging the Pokémon League.

Route 130, including Mirage Island

Route 130 is a simple route that leads westward from Route 129 to Route 131. The area is a favorite topic of conversation due to a strange island that seems to appear and disappear.


Mirage Island

While Route 130 usually appears as an empty stretch of ocean, under very rare circumstances, Mirage Island may appear in the middle of the route. This island is home only to Wynaut, and a soft soil patch grows a single Liechi Berry. If held by a Pokémon during battle, this Berry increases a Pokémon's physical Attack in a pinch.

Route 131

Route 131

Route 131 runs between Route 130 to the east and Pacifidlog Town to the west. A large, inaccessible island lies to the north. It is the custom in Pacifidlog Town to swim a lap around this route before breakfast.

Pacifidlog Town

Located between Route 131 to the east and Route 132 to the west, Pacifidlog Town is a small town built on wooden rafts and logs that float atop a colony of Corsola.


Hidden Legends

Visit the northeast house and speak to the residents inside. The young man recounts a story he heard as a child, that there are three Pokémon that represent the power of rock, ice, and steel hidden away across Hoenn. The young woman tells of a riddle passed down by her grandfather: "Six dots open three doors." It seems that Hoenn still has some secrets to discover!

In Search of a Mirage

The southeast house is home to an elderly man who spends his time watching the eastern seas in the hopes of spotting the mysterious Mirage Island. Speak to him each day, and he reports whether or not the island has appeared. When it does, the man will shout out in excitement.

Every day, the game generates a random number between 0 and 65535. If this number matches the personality value of any of the Pokémon in the party, Mirage Island will appear that day.

Time for a Trade

Visit the south-central house to find a young woman who would like to trade Pokémon. Living in the ocean, she is only able to catch certain kinds of Pokémon, and is hoping for something new. She is willing to part with her Corsola in exchange for a Bellossom. Corsola arrives holding a piece of Tropic Mail.

Play Nice, Play Rough

The southwest house belongs to the younger brother of the Pokémon Fan Club chairman. He is enjoying his vacation here with his Pokémon, and hands out one TM per week to each visitor. If the lead Pokémon's friendship is high, he gives out TM27 (Return); if its friendship is low, he gives out TM21 (Frustration) instead.

A Sky-High Mystery

The northwest house is home to a woman and her children. The woman mentions a rumor circulating through the town, of people witnessing a Pokémon flying high above the region. She wonders aloud if it is flying around all the time, and if it wouldn't need to rest somewhere.
