  • Gyarados (lvl. 35)
• Swimmer Nikki
  • Marill (lvl. 32)

After you down the trainer, look for the ring of dark water encircling the volcano. Swim to the southern part of the ring and dive to find the entrance to Sootopolis City.

Relicanth is found underwater in Route 126. Though it is a fish Pokémon, it cannot be caught with a fishing rod. It is slightly tough to catch; 2 or 3 Ultra Balls might get wasted, and Net Balls and Dive Balls do not work well.

Along with Wailord, Relicanth needs to be present in the your team to remove the seals from the hiding places of the Legendary Pokémon, Regirock, Regice and Registeel.
