Route 105 (in-game map)

Route 105 is the open-sea route running south from Route 104 towards Route 106 and Dewford Town, travelled on Mr. Briney's boat early on and by Surf later. Swimmers and Ruin Maniacs around Lv25–26 wait on the water and sandbars, and one islet holds Island Cave, where Regice sleeps behind a sealed wall. After the Hall of Fame, Marine Cave can appear here when the scientist on 2F of the Weather Institute reports heavy rain here.

Tips

  • Island Cave stays shut until you have solved the Sealed Chamber puzzle; inside, read the Braille and walk a full lap around the inner wall to open Regice's room.
  • Ruin Maniacs Foster and Andres pay ¥1500 each, and Andres has four PokéNav rematches.
  • Pick up the Iron, and search the sandbars for a hidden Heart Scale and Big Pearl.
  • Surfing finds Tentacool (60%), Wingull (35%) and Pelipper (5%), while the Super Rod hooks only Wailmer here.
  • When Marine Cave appears, Dive in the rain-swept area to reach it; Kyogre waits inside at Lv70.
