Route Map
Phase 4 is short distance-wise (one route + one city) but content-heavy. You'll unlock Surf at the start and Fly in Coumarine, opening up backtrack options across the whole region. Plan a side trip to Azure Bay for Ampharosite (Mega Stone) before tackling Route 12.
Phase Sections
This phase now works like the newer walkthroughs: keep this page as the phase index, then open each section page for the deeper route, boss, item, encounter, and cleanup details.

Section 2 Azure Bay + Sea Spirit's DenNow fully accessible with Surf. The bay sits south of Shalour — surf west off the beach to reach the islands.
Section 3 Route 12 — Fourrage RoadA pastoral north-bound route lined with berry fields and a Skiddo ranch. You can ride Skiddo on the ranch portion to skip trainers and traverse faster — but you'll miss XP.
Section 4 Coumarine City (Lower / Seaside)The waterfront half of Coumarine. Yachts in the harbor, a hotel, an incense shop, and the monorail station.
Section 5 Monorail + Fly GiftInside the Monorail Station, one of Professor Sycamore's lab assistants is waiting with HM02 Fly.
