Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire Phase 6: Route 119

Feather Badge

Route 119 is long and intentionally inconvenient. The tall grass prevents bike use, rain affects Fire damage, and trainers are spaced out enough that you can get chipped down without noticing.

Route 119

Route 119 is long and intentionally inconvenient. The tall grass prevents bike use, rain affects Fire damage, and trainers are spaced out enough that you can get chipped down without noticing.

Useful encounters include Oddish, Gloom, Zigzagoon/Linoone, Tropius, and water encounters depending on your rod and Surf access. Tropius is not the strongest battler, but it can carry Fly and other utility moves later. Gloom can become Vileplume or Bellossom depending on stone access and your plan.

Bring Repels if you want clean movement. If you are playing a Nuzlocke, Route 119 is an important encounter zone, so decide whether fishing, Surf, or grass gives the best first encounter for your rules.
