Tips

Use a Super Rod here for Sharpedo (40%) and Wailmer (60%); a Good Rod also turns up Wailmer at 20%.
Collect the Zinc, Carbos and Rare Candy item balls on the surface, then Dive for a Star Piece, HP Up, Heart Scale and Red Shard hidden underwater.
Register Black Belt Koji (Machoke 34) in your PokéNav; he has four Match Call rematch teams.
Cooltrainer Athena pays the best prize on the route at ¥1536 for beating her Manectric and Linoone.
After the Hall of Fame, if the scientist on 2F of the Weather Institute reports heavy rain over Route 127, search the route for the deep-water spot that leads to the Marine Cave and Kyogre (Lv70).
