Slateport City is the port city at the north end of Route 109, linked by Route 110 to Mauville and by Route 134 to the southern seas. You arrive by Mr. Briney's boat to deliver the Devon Goods to Captain Stern, and end up fighting two Team Aqua grunts in the Oceanic Museum before Archie arrives. Later, after Groudon awakens in the Magma Hideout, Team Aqua steal Stern's submarine from the harbour.

Tips

  • The Oceanic Museum costs ¥50 to enter, and a Team Aqua grunt you met earlier gives you TM46 Thief on 1F.
  • The Slateport Battle Tent runs Battle Factory-style challenges with rental Pokémon, and a man in its lobby gives you TM41 Torment.
  • In the Pokémon Fan Club, the chairman gives a coloured Scarf for each high contest condition on your lead Pokémon (after you have entered a contest), a member gives a Soothe Bell to a very friendly Pokémon, and a tutor teaches Swagger once.
  • The market sells TM10 Hidden Power and TM43 Secret Power for ¥3000 each, plus vitamins at ¥9800.
  • Buy a Harbor Mail (¥50) at the Poké Mart: a woman in Mauville City trades you a Coin Case for it.
  • Once you have the Mind Badge, Captain Stern at the harbour trades a DeepSeaTooth or DeepSeaScale for the Scanner from the Abandoned Ship.
