Tips

• Low tide runs 3:00–9:00 and 15:00–21:00; high tide covers the other hours. The tide only updates when you leave and re-enter.
• Bring four Shoal Salts and four Shoal Shells to the old man in the entrance room for a Shell Bell. You can repeat the trade.
• A Black Belt in the lower room gives you a Focus Band at low tide.
• Snorunt appears only in the ice room, at 10% and Lv. 26–30. The ice room also holds TM07 Hail and NeverMeltIce.
• Spheal is the most common catch here (around 50%), and a Rare Candy sits in the inner room.
