Route 133 Emerald · Route
Route 133 continues the westbound current from Route 132 towards Route 134. A large rock formation splits it into northern and southern lanes that only rejoin near the western end, and the current decides most of your movement. Small islands along the way hold three valuable items.

Tips
- Pick up the Big Pearl, Star Piece and Max Revive from the islands; the Big Pearl and Star Piece can be sold for money.
- Choose your lane carefully at the start, because the current makes it hard to switch between the northern and southern paths.
- Bird Keeper Beck uses a Lv34 Tropius, a good chance to see one in battle.
- Use the Super Rod for Horsea (15%), Sharpedo (40%) and Wailmer (45%).
- Cooltrainer Warren (Graveler and Ludicolo) pays ¥1584, the highest prize here.
