S.S. Tidal Ruby & Sapphire · Dungeon
The S.S. Tidal is the ferry that sails between Slateport City and Lilycove City and also stops at the Battle Tower. In Ruby and Sapphire you can ride it only after entering the Hall of Fame, when Norman gives you the S.S. Ticket in Littleroot Town. On board are cabins and a storage hold full of trainers with Lv. 42–45 Pokémon.
