Route 105 Ruby & Sapphire · Route
Route 105 is open sea between Route 104 and Route 106. On your first trip, Mr. Briney's boat carries you straight past it. Once you have Surf, you can come back for its swimmers, two items and the Island Cave. After you solve the Sealed Chamber puzzle, the Island Cave is where Regice waits.

Tips
- All five trainers are at levels 25–27, so plan to battle them after you get Surf, not on your first boat ride.
- Ruin Maniac Foster brings Sandshrew and Sandslash, so Water- and Grass-type moves work well against him.
- The Super Rod catches only Wailmer here (100%). The Good Rod has a 20% chance of Wailmer.
- Pick up the Iron item ball and the hidden Heart Scale while you surf around.
