Ready to take on the trainers on Route 105 in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire? Follow this guide to surf south from Route 104 and challenge every trainer, including a double battle!

Alright, so you've made it to Route 105! Remember this watery route? It's the one connecting Route 104 and Route 106. We sailed through it before heading to Dewford Town, but we skipped all the trainers back then. Now that you've got the Surf HM, it's time to go back and challenge them all. First things first, fly to Petalburg City and head west onto Route 104. Find the sandy patch, hop on your Pokémon, and start surfing south. Let's get this done!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start by surfing south on Route 105. Your first opponent is Swimmer Imani, who's got a Level 26 Marill. She'll give you $208 for the win.
  2. 2
    Keep surfing south. The next trainer you'll encounter is Swimmer Dominik, with a Level 26 Tentacool. He also pays out $208.
  3. 3
    Continue south until you spot a small piece of land to your left. Hop off your Pokémon and head onto this landmass to battle Ruin Maniac Foster. He's got a Level 25 Sandshrew and a Level 25 Sandslash, and he'll reward you with $1500.
  4. 4
    Now, head back to the water and surf left. You'll see another piece of land. On this land, you'll find two trainers: Bird Keeper Josue (Taillow and Wingull, both Level 25) and Ruin Maniac Andres (two Level 25 Sandshrews). If you walk right into the middle of them, you'll trigger a Double Battle! Together, they'll give you a hefty $2300.
  5. 5
    After that team battle, surf upwards (north) to find Swimmer Beverly. She's got a Level 25 Wingull and a Level 25 Marill, and she'll give you $200.
  6. 6
    Head back to the land where you battled Ruin Maniac Foster. From there, surf to the right (east) and continue south. You'll find another trainer, Swimmer Luis, who has a Level 26 Carvanha. He'll give you $208.
  7. 7
    Finally, head south and a bit west from Luis. You'll find one last small patch of land. Pick up the item here – it's an Iron! After grabbing that, surf south, and you'll arrive in Route 106.

Route 106 Trainers:

Once you're in Route 106, you'll find a couple more trainers before hitting Dewford Town.

  1. The first trainer you'll see is Swimmer Douglas, who has two Level 24 Tentacools. He'll give you $192.
  2. Keep heading south and east. You'll find Swimmer Kyla, who's got a Level 26 Wailmer. She'll give you $208.
  3. After battling Kyla, grab the Protein located to your south. Then, surf onto Dewford Town.
Tips
  • Make sure your Pokémon are around Level 25-26 before heading into Route 105, especially if you want to win the double battle easily.
  • The Ruin Maniac trainers are great for grinding some extra cash, especially the double battle!
  • Don't forget to grab the Iron and Protein items – they're always useful!
