[[File:PKMN Emerald Route119.png|left|thumb|350px|Route 119 in Emerald.]]
Route 119 is one of the largest land routes in the entire game, and is packed full of things to do and stuff to find as well. From Pokémon that can change their shape based on the weather to a fish that's considered the hardest damn thing to find in ''any'' Pokémon game, you'll likely be frequenting this route quite a bit. More so because of the fish than anything else.

The first thing you'll notice is the abnormally tall grass patches. This super-tall grass completely prevents you from traversing on bicycle, so you're gonna hafta hoof it across the route. Rather ironically, there's also parts of the route that is accessible ''only'' by bicycle, but we'll get to those later.

While on the route, it'll be raining for 3 days, with a single clear day in-between each rain cycle. If you start a battle while it is raining, it'll be raining in your battle too (and thus any and all Water type moves will gain a boost to power).

There are 6 trainers in the initial clumps of grass alone, but getting to them isn't as easy as they seem. The trainers will turn and take steps whenever the player does, so each one requires a certain pattern to get to. Oh, and they all have an unhealthy obsession with bugs.

==The Weather Institute==
==The Weather Institute==
The Institute will offer you rest. Once you enter the door, go to the left to find a bed, and snooze with your party. There's also a PC near the bed, so put a Pokémon away, because the gift of one is coming. Then head over to the other side of the room to tangle  Team Aqua/Magma Grunts.  
The weather institute is, as the name suggests, a meteorological research station, and keeps track of the weather across the entire Region. It also is home to many projects, including a machine that can change the weather at will and an entirely artificial Pokémon.

However, upon the player's first visit, it is discovered that the research team has been taken hostage by the evil teams! As usual, it's time to clear them out.

When these jokers go down, head up the stairs. These grunts are after a special weather Pokémon that the Institute has created.
===The Admins===
After fighting your way through the Grunts, you'll be confronted by one of the Team's Admins, who is spearheading this operation. Defeat them to free the meteorologists.

Upon defeating the Admin, the researchers will thank you and give you a free {{PokePic|Castform|20px}}{{bp|Castform}}, but it can only be accepted if you have a spare slot in your team. If you don't, then they'll hold on to it for you, so just go to the computer on the first floor to store one of your Pokémon and come back. Time to continue traversing the route!

The northern part of the route is noticeably more barren than the southern half, and the entire Northwest section is inaccessible until you obtain the ability to use HM07 {{bpm|Waterfall}} outside of battle. Even so, there's still a couple of activities to do on the Northeast side, so head over the wooden bridge.

Mudkip:
In addition to the monetary rewards, your Rival will also give you one of the most useful HMs in the game: HM02 {{bpm|Fly}}. In battle, Fly is a two-turn move that deals high damage. Outside of battle, Fly can be used to instantly travel to any Pokémon Center you've previously visited. This will cut out a ''lot'' of otherwise mandatory travel time, so it's recommended that you teach this to a Pokémon ASAP.
** {{bp|Numel|29}}
===Hidden Kecleon===
** {{bp|Grovyle|31}}
There are two hidden {{PokePic|Kecleon|20px}}{{bp|Kecleon}} in the northern part of the route, that can only be interacted with if the player has the {{bpi|Devon Scope}}, found on [[../Route 120/]].
** {{bp|Wailmer|29}}
* Next to the bike rails (Ruby & Sapphire only)
* In the dead-end path near the entrance to Fortree City (Emerald only)
* Just right of the last Ninja Boy before Fortree City, in the indent of trees


The fight should be easy, as your Pokémon should be leveled up much higher than your rival's at this point. Just don't be afraid to use items. Your reward for winning, is HM 02 (Fly).
===The Fish===
And finally, it's time to talk about {{PokePic|Feebas|20px}}{{bp|Feebas}}. "What's special about Feebas", you say? Well, there's two things special about Feebas:


Once you finish the battle, go down to the water to fish, or up towards Fortree City. More Ninjas await.  
Firstly, it evolves into {{PokePic|Milotic|20px}}{{bp|Milotic}} by levelling up with it's Beauty stat maxed out (this can be achieved by feeding it Pamtre Berries, which increase the Beauty stat, and are obtained after beating the Elite Four).


* Ninja Boy Yasu
And secondly, it is notoriously difficult to actually find. The only way to encounter Feebas in the wild is to fish on any one of 6 unique water tiles in the river on this route, that randomise every time the trend in [[../Dewford Town/]] is changed. There's no easy shortcut to know which tile has Feebas in it either - your best bet is gonna be process of elimination. To add onto the annoyance, Feebas shares the encounter pool with other Pokémon as well, so your chances of finding them are even lower. Thankfully, all 3 rods are capable of finding Feebas, and the Pokémon can be found on those 6 tiles as many times as lady luck gives you, so you can take your time.
** {{bp|Ninjask|27}}
* Ninja Boy Hideo
** {{bp|Koffing|26}}
** {{bp|Koffing|26}}


Once you've beaten the Ninjas, pick the grove of Pomeg Berries. Then head right, into Fortree City.

Route 119 in Emerald.
Route 119 in Ruby and Sapphire

Route 119 is one of the largest land routes in the entire game, and is packed full of things to do and stuff to find as well. From Pokémon that can change their shape based on the weather to a fish that's considered the hardest thing to find in any Pokémon game, you'll likely be frequenting this route quite a bit. More so because of the fish than anything else.

Too Tall for Lawn Mowers[edit]

The first thing you'll notice is the abnormally tall grass patches. This super-tall grass completely prevents you from traversing on bicycle, so you're going to need to hoof it across the route. Rather ironically, there's also parts of the route that is accessible only by bicycle, but we'll get to those later.

While on the route, it'll be raining for 3 days, with a single clear day in-between each rain cycle. If you start a battle while it is raining, it'll be raining in your battle too (and thus any and all Water type moves will gain a boost to power).

The Mimic Circle[edit]

There are 6 trainers in the initial clumps of grass alone, but getting to them isn't as easy as they seem. The trainers will turn and take steps whenever the player does, so each one requires a certain pattern to get to. Oh, and they all have an unhealthy obsession with bugs.

Bug Maniac Brent		Surskit (lvl. 28)1560

Once you get past the super-tall grass, you'll find a rest house to shelter yourself from the rain.

Tight-roping, for bikes![edit]

Shortly after the rest house and behind some super-tall grass will be a white bridge across the river. This bridge is only traverse-able by bunny-hopping on the Acro bike, so make sure you have one whenever you wanna go over there. The only thing on the other side of the bike bridge is an Item, however, so it is by no means mandatory to do so.

Trainers[edit]

The list of trainers here does not include those found in the large patch of super-tall grass, those found in the Weather Institute, or any Unique battles.

The Weather Institute[edit]

The weather institute is, as the name suggests, a meteorological research station, and keeps track of the weather across the entire Region. It also is home to many projects, including a machine that can change the weather at will and an entirely artificial Pokémon.

However, upon the player's first visit, it is discovered that the research team has been taken hostage by the evil teams! As usual, it's time to clear them out.

The Admins[edit]

After fighting your way through the Grunts, you'll be confronted by one of the Team's Admins, who is spearheading this operation. Defeat them to free the meteorologists.

In Ruby[edit]

Magma Admin Courtney 1st 2nd Rewards
Numel (lvl. 28) Mightyena (lvl. 28) 1120

In Sapphire & Emerald[edit]

Aqua Admin Shelly 1st 2nd Rewards
Carvanha (lvl. 28) Mightyena (lvl. 28) 1120

Upon defeating the Admin, the researchers will thank you and give you a free Castform, but it can only be accepted if you have a spare slot in your team. If you don't, then they'll hold on to it for you, so just go to the computer on the first floor to store one of your Pokémon and come back. Time to continue traversing the route!

The Northern Half of the Route[edit]

The northern part of the route is noticeably more barren than the southern half, and the entire Northwest section is inaccessible until you obtain the ability to use HM07 Waterfall outside of battle. Even so, there's still a couple of activities to do on the Northeast side, so head over the wooden bridge.

Oh hey, your rival![edit]

Upon crossing the bridge and heading North, you'll instantly be thrown into a conversation and subsequent battle against your Rival that you cannot refuse, so make sure to fully heal your Pokémon before initiating the event. As usual, your Rival has gotten stronger, and there's even an extra goodie at the end!

In Ruby & Sapphire[edit]

Sprite Pokémon Trainer Brendan/May 1st 2nd 3rd Reward

If you chose Treecko: Shroomish (lvl. 29) Wailmer (lvl. 29) Combusken (lvl. 31) 1860
HM02 Fly
If you chose Torchic: Shroomish (lvl. 29) Numel (lvl. 29) Marshtomp (lvl. 31)
If you chose Mudkip: Wailmer (lvl. 29) Numel (lvl. 29) Grovyle (lvl. 31)

In Emerald[edit]

Sprite Pokémon Trainer Brendan/May 1st 2nd 3rd Rewards

If you chose Treecko: Pelipper (lvl. 29) Lombre (lvl. 29) Combusken (lvl. 31) 1860
HM02 Fly
If you chose Torchic: Lombre (lvl. 29) Slugma (lvl. 29) Marshtomp (lvl. 31)
If you chose Mudkip: Slugma (lvl. 29) Pelipper (lvl. 29) Grovyle (lvl. 31)

In addition to the monetary rewards, your Rival will also give you one of the most useful HMs in the game: HM02 Fly. In battle, Fly is a two-turn move that deals high damage. Outside of battle, Fly can be used to instantly travel to any Pokémon Center you've previously visited. This will cut out a lot of otherwise mandatory travel time, so it's recommended that you teach this to a Pokémon ASAP.

Hidden Kecleon[edit]

There are two hidden Kecleon in the northern part of the route, that can only be interacted with if the player has the Devon Scope , found on Route 120.

  • Next to the bike rails (Ruby & Sapphire only)
  • In the dead-end path near the entrance to Fortree City (Emerald only)
  • Just right of the last Ninja Boy before Fortree City, in the indent of trees

The Fish[edit]

And finally, it's time to talk about Feebas. "What's special about Feebas", you say? Well, there's two things special about Feebas:

Firstly, it evolves into Milotic by levelling up with it's Beauty stat maxed out (this can be achieved by feeding it Pamtre Berries, which increase the Beauty stat, and are obtained after beating the Elite Four).

And secondly, it is notoriously difficult to actually find. The only way to encounter Feebas in the wild is to fish on any one of 6 unique water tiles in the river on this route, that randomise every time the trend in Dewford Town is changed. There's no easy shortcut to know which tile has Feebas in it either - your best bet is gonna be process of elimination. To add onto the annoyance, Feebas shares the encounter pool with other Pokémon as well, so your chances of finding them are even lower. Thankfully, all 3 rods are capable of finding Feebas, and the Pokémon can be found on those 6 tiles as many times as lady luck gives you, so you can take your time.
