Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start at the easternmost portion of Route 119 and battle the Bug Maniac.
  2. 2
    To the southwest and northwest, you'll find more Bug Catchers. Pick up the Max Repel.
  3. 3
    Turn on the Dowsing Machine, head northeast, and find the Full Heal.
  4. 4
    Continue battling Trainers along the northern fringes of the tall grass.
  5. 5
    On the west side of the dirt path, battle the Pokémon Ranger.
  6. 6
    In the house west of the Ranger, speak to the brown-haired woman to heal your party.
  7. 7
    To the west of these areas, you can use Surf and Fish.
  8. 8
    Head to the northwestern shore and battle the Fisherman.
  9. 9
    North of the Fisherman, in the tall grass, go to the non-grassy horizontal row north of it and find a Zinc at the end.
  10. 10
    Return to the other side of the river and go north along the dirt path up a level.
  11. 11
    Go northward through the tall grass to find two sets of Hondew Berries.
  12. 12
    Partway through the tall grass, you'll notice a narrow bridge. Use the Acro Bike to ride along it, hop across ledges, and continue across (Up+B simultaneously, then hold Up).
  13. 13
    On the other side, go west and north, and use the Dowsing Machine to locate a Calcium at the end of the path. Return to the other side.
  14. 14
    Go south from the earlier tall grass, then north onto the rocky ledge.
  15. 15
    Just before the bridge, battle the couple (Brains and Brawn Jael and Kael).

    Cross the bridge and go north upstairs.
  17. 17
    Past the first tuft of tall grass, go northwest and battle the Pokémon Ranger Jackson.
  18. 18
    Grab the PP Max further ahead. (A PP Max boosts a move's maximum PP to 160% of the norm).
  19. 19
    Near the back of the rocky ledge, go east and pick up an Elixir.
  20. 20
    Battle the Ninja Boy Takashi nearby (you must talk to him to engage).
  21. 21
    Go back west and get on the rocky ledge to fight Bird Keeper Phil.
  22. 22
    Go up another ledge and west to find Bird Keeper Hugh.
  23. 23
    Head north from there to find the Weather Institute.
Tips
  • Feebas is a rare encounter (5% in tall grass with Old Rod) and was notoriously difficult to find in the original games. Patience is required.
  • Rain is not ideal for Fire-type Pokémon on this Route.
  • You can ride your bike in the tall grass, but it can be difficult to see and navigate.
  • The Dowsing Machine is useful for finding hidden items.
  • To use the Acro Bike to cross the narrow bridge: press Up+B simultaneously, begin hopping, then hold Up.
  • A PP Max is a valuable item that significantly boosts a move's PP. It's most efficient on moves that haven't had PP Ups used on them yet.
  • Team Aqua/Magma are present in the Weather Institute.
