Spoiler

Spoiler

Go south and make sure you avoid ALL the trainers in the water. Totally not worth it. Continue south until you reach a piece of land with Ruin Maniac running around. Kill him. Then, go south and west to find yourself in a place where 2 trainers are facing each other. Kill them both and while you're there, collect the hidden Antidote hereand backtrack to the main route, then head south to pick up the pokeball with Iron where are small pieces of land and continue south to Route 106.

Spoiler

South... south... until you reach familiar place close to Dewford. There, take the Protein, go into Dewford and take the Sludge Bomb TM from guy with calm eyes inside the house above PC. Now we need to go to Route 103, so teleport to Petalburn, go to Oldale and north-east to Route 103.

Spoiler

After getting out of the water beat only the 3rdperson you see. Avoid the other trainers and then cut the tree, battle the 2 trainers and get a valuable PP UP. Continue left to get Guard Spec. Then continue to Route 110 and head off to Mauville, heal up at PC, then speak with Wattson to receive Basem*nt Key. Backtrack to Route 110 and use the northern surfing path to get the Rare Candy. Then go back to the screen where you can see cycling road and there is another water path, close to entrance to Mauville. Hop on it, surf east and you will reach New Mauville.

Spoiler

After entering the location, hit the blue button nearby. Don't forget to run with repels. Then go left. Push the yellow one and head left, then up. Don't push the blue one and drive along the path instead. Pick up an Escape Rope. Return down, then right to get an Ultra Ball. Return to the point where escape rope was laying and push the blue button. Go left and north. You'll see 2 balls laying on the ground: the one on left is Paralyz Heal, the one on right is Voltorb. Ignore the Voltorb and collect Paralyz Heal. Continue up and then right. You'll come across another room with 2 balls in it. One on the left is Voltorb, on the right you'll find a Full Heal. Ignore the voltorb and step on the yellow switch. Continue the path to the right to collect the Thunderstone and step on the switch. Use Dig to go out of there and Teleport to Mauville to collect a TM24 from Wattson. Then head right to Route 118.

Spoiler

We have to kill the 2 trainers that are here (aroma lady and youngster). They aren't worth your effort but gotta destroy them. Ignore the blonde guy running on the sand and kill the Fisherman. Collect the hidden Heart Scale from here and cross the water. Talk with fisherman to obtain Good Rod. Collect the hidden Iron from here and kill the Fisherman and go up to meet Steven. Go through grass, fight the bird keeper in the north, get the Hyper Potion, head south to battle another Bird Keeper and continue up to find yourself on Route 119.

Spoiler

Right after you enter, there's a bug catcher above the biker. Finish him. On the left, there's a Bug Maniac with 3 pokes, 2100 reward. Kill him too. Ignore the bug catcher above the pokeball that contains Super Repel (obv, take it) and go right to find an empty grass patch with a Full Heal here. There's a bug maniac below it- finish him too. Head north to take a pokeball with Hyper Potion. Defeat another bug manaiac left of it (1 poke, 2300 reward) and continue north. Surf through the water and go left to grab a Zinc, avoiding the fisherman. Backtrack to the original route, go north. There's a PKMN Ranger to kill, then cross the bridge and head up to kill another PKMN Ranger. There is a hidden Calcium next to the waterfall but it requires Acro Bike- we will be back for that. Head left to kill 2 more trainers. Grab the Hyper potion and ride up the slope with Mach Bike and defeat another bird keeper. Go right and take the Elixir. Avoid the 2 trainers on the left- not worth it. Enter the weather institute.

Spoiler

After you enter, there is a PC up. Heal up your poke and kill the girl while avoiding the guy. Go up the stairs. You gotta fight the another 2 fgts tho. Avoid the trainer on the south (walk, don't run) and battle the gril blocking the way to scientists. Exit the place and go right, back to route 119 and go up to battle Rival. Aaaand here, we got the FLY HM! We can't use it yet though. Go south and take the Elixir and surf north to find a hidden Max Ether here then go south and get a hidden Ultra Ball here. Continue south and you'll find a Leaf Stone. Now backtrack north and avoid the boy, but defeat the guitarist. Avoid the boy once more and enter Fortree city. It'd be a good moment to stack up some Repels.

Spoiler

After you enter the city, go up to the house north-east and talk with a boy- he will release his Wingull. Proceed right to Route 120. We will be back here.

Spoiler

Kill the Parasol lady right after you enter. Go up, cut the trees and take the hidden Rare Candy here. Then get the hidden Revive here. Defeat the bird keeper and talk with Steven to get the Devon Scope. Now go back to where a pokeball was laying next to the water and get the Nest Ball. Surf across the water to Scorched Slab.

Spoiler

Well. Take the Sunny Day TM and leave with Dig. Then go to Fortree and into the gym.

Spoiler

Enter the gym and kill the first bird keeper. Then avoid the 2 trainers staring at each other. You gotta battle the next duo though. Defeat the bird keeper on the left as well and challenge Winona. Tm40 is your reward for the fight, but most important... You can FINALLY USE FLY OUTSIDE OF THE BATTLE. Hype? This will be very useful at the end when we will be collecting all the sh*t we missed earlier due to not having the bike or necessary badge to use the HM move. For now, go where Steven was, into Route 120.

Spoiler

Go to the point where you finished and battle the bird keeper. Defeat the 2 trainers on the south (cooltrainer and parasol lady) and battle ONLY the girl on the north. Avoid the kid. Collect the Revive and defeat the girl right to it. Proceed south and take the hidden Zinc from here. Defeat the girl on right. Go south through the grass and on to the path to collect Antidote. Defeat the guy (PKMN Ranger). Proceed south, defeat Bug Maniac and take Hyper Potion. Go south and then left, across the water and collect the hidden Rare Candy here along with Full Heal laying next to it. Head right to Route 121.

Spoiler

Kill the Bug Maniac and old hag right after entering the route. Defeat the qt too. Pick HP Up here.Don't go into safari zone yet, you can't collect everything in it yet. We'll be back here later on. Collect the Zinc instead and proceed right, avoiding the doubles battle. Continue right to fight 2 PKMN breeders (6 pokes each... but they guard a Revive) and grab the Revive. Go north and left to fight a Gentleman and take Carbos. Defeat all the trainers along the way and get a hidden Antidote from here then Full Heal here and finally Max Revive from here. Proceed to Lilycove.

Spoiler

Once you enter, go into contest hall and talk with the lady @ reception to get the Pokeblock case. Go out and down the pass to find a Max Repel. Then all the way back and up to visit the Market, smacking the rival along the way. Go right now, to the house on the south-east (closest to water). A fatso gives you TM44. Time to collect the hidden items: PP Up here, PokeBall here, and Heart Scale here. Afterwards, go to Route 121 again, and then south from Safari Zone entrance to reach Mt. Pyre.

Spoiler

Lady in the upper right corner gives you Cleanse tag. Kinda useless but eh. Go up the stairs. Defeat the first 3 trainers (worth it). Defeat the young couple and take the Ultra Ball, then up the stairs again. 2 trainers are spinning around- it isn't easy to get past them without a battle but it's not a big deal though reward isn't worth it. Especially try to avoid the girl on the left as she holds 6 pokes. Take the Super Repel on the right and avoid the trainer next to stairs. Go up and on the next floor, defeat the trainer (hex maniac). Same on next floor. On another, there are 2 trainers. Kill them too. Collect the Shadow Ball TM (wop!) and hop through hole. Collect Lax Incense now and go through lower hole. Now you'll get Sea Incense. Use another 2 holes to exit the graveyard part and enter the mountain on the left. Collect the TM48 on the path. When fog comes out, go north to collect the Max Potion. Now take the hidden Max Ether from here and proceed north-west to grab a hidden Ultra Ball here. Go back south a bit and north up the mountain. After entering the upper level, go left to find a hidden Zinc here and go up the mountain, defeating Team Aqua members along the way. After reaching the top and getting the Magma Emblem, go right to find a hidden Rare Candy here. Descend from the mountain now and go south to reach Route 123.

Spoiler

After entering the route, go right. Grab the hidden Rare Candy here and go up to kill the 2 trainers guarding the hidden PP Up here. Defeat the trainer above them as well. Go west, talk with the girl and you'll get a Giga Drain TM if you have a grass pokemon in your party. Now collect the hidden Hyper Potion here. There are 2 trainers left to you. Wreck them both. Go north and jump from slope to get Elixir. Then a hidden Super Repel here. Go into grass patch where a girl resides and spank her. Go down and jump through slope. Defeat guitarist and bird keeper then grab Revival Herb. Go leftto beat the 2 trainers and take thePPUp.Go down the slope again and you will be on lowest level. Avoid the double battle, take a hidden Revive from here. Kill the 3 trainers and collect the Ultra ball, and if you wish, backtrack to Lilycove to grab the Calcium you missed (just follow the northernmost path- it's not really worth it) then fly to Lavaridge, then right and up to Cable car to get into Mt. Chimney. Destroy all the trainers up north and go down to Jagged Pass. As you go down, ground will shake and an entrance to Magma Hideout will open. Proceed.

Spoiler

Proceed north. Use repels along the way, encounters are very annoying. Go up, then right, battle the magma grunt and go south to next area. Battle the grunts along the way except the 2 that are running. Go through passage on left, battle the grunts on the upper side and grab Full Restore. Go to the location where you see another pokeball, battling the grunts along the way and take the Max Elixir. Follow the path, enter the passage, battle the grunt and grab Rare Candy. Backtrack to where you came from and go into south passage this time. Defeat the grunt and follow the path. Go up to next area and collect the invaluable PP MAX and defeat the grunt. Go back to the room you came from and go south. Defeat the fem grunt south and take the Anditode, then go the south path. Simply follow the path until the end, taking the Max Revive along the way. Defeat Maxie and go through path he blocked. Take the Escape Rope and use dig. Now fly to Slateport and chat with doc to trigger the chain of events that will eventually lead you into Lilycove, then go north-east to find a cave- Aqua Hideout.

Spoiler

Go north, defeating the grunt along the way. Go through stairs. You'll find 2 warps- go through eastern one to get a Max Elixir. Then go through the second one. Defeat the grunt in the middle of the room and take the warp in the lower left corner. You will find 3 more warps. I'll look at the warps we will be using: first this then this then this and finally this. You will end up in a room with 4 pokeballs. The ones on the right are Electrodes, the ones on the left are Antidote and Master Ball. Take them. Backtrack to the room where you battled a grunt in the middle and defeat 2 more grunts, then take the warp. Defeat the grunt and take the warp below him. Collect the Nest Ball and go back, then take the second warp and follow the path. Defeat the grunt along the way then 2 more grunts and take the warp. Defeat the Aqua Admin Matt that stands next to the water and follow the path to exit the location. Heal up at Lilycove and go east to Route 124.

Spoiler

2 trainers block your way. Swimmers... not much money. Kill bottom one only. Thenswim east until you will reach Mossdeep city (When on land of mossdeep south west of the city to your leftthere is2 swimmers beat the girl triathlete). We will be back on this route later on, to collect the treasures on seafloor.

Spoiler

After you arrive, talk with a guy on the left of PC to get King's Rock. Then head southeast and grab a Net Ball. Go north, talk with Scott and enter the house close to Space Center, talk with the Wingull and fly to Fortree to chat with the guy who owns the Wingull- that gives you a Mental Herb. Back to Mossdeep, go to the northernmost point (up the hill where space center is) and in the house you'll get a Super Rod. Now go into Space Center and talk with Sailor- he will give you a Sun Stone. Time for gym. ALL the pokes here except the leader's are lv 36, are easy to defeat, and each trainer holds only 1 poke- all are worth defeating. I will go lazy in here- but I couldn't do it better than someone who posted this image somewhere (got it from google). That'll easily guide you through. Defeat the leaders and take the Calm Mind TM. Go outside, into space center. Leave the girl at the bottom and defeat the other 3 trainers. Go up and kill the others. After the events go into Steven's house in the upper left corner of the city to get a Dive HM. Now go north into Route 125- we're going to visit Shoal Cave.

Spoiler

After entering the route, there is a Sailor to defeat. Continue north to get into Shoal Cave. Before entering cave if you go east and then north you will find Birdkeeper and expert trainers guarding antidote. Beat them if youwant 1300 1600 cash 2 poke each + antidote.

First we are going to loot the route, then go underwater. Go south, then west on a piece of land to grab a Zinc. South of it, 2 trainers are guarding a Rare Candy. Defeat them and get it. South of them is a diving spot with an Antidote here. Now head east until you reach triathlete trainer(beat him). Now go south east until you reach a piece of land with Black Belt on it. Defeat him, then go into dive spot above him. Follow the path and grab the Carbos. Now go back, surf west until you reach a long dive spot. Dive in and head north, then inspect the rock for a HP UP here. Now go up until you reach an island with 3 fishermen. Defeat them all and go into north-east diving spot to find a hidden Red Shard here. Now go west, around the rocks, and into another dive spot. Surf south and grab a hidden Heart Scale here, then proceed south into Seafloor Cavern.

Spoiler

Go north, smash the rock, push the boulders and defeat both trainers, then go through south-east exit. Solve the puzzles on the right and proceed. Defeat the trainers, go into north-east entrance. Eh, puzzles. Push the boulder north twice then push it west after that push next boulder north then smash rock and push boulder right then exit through north-east path. The next area is filled with currents but it's easy. Go into southernmost current, then just go right, up, up. Go through entrance, defeat the trainers (because puzzles sucks, right?) and... uh, puzzles. But hey, I got this for you. Push Boulder 2 north one tile. Then, Boulder 1 west one tile. Then, boulder 2 east one tile. Then, boulder 7 north one tile. Then move boulders 6 (west) and 8 (east). Now move boulders 10 and 11 north, boulder 7 on whatever direction you want except north and go through passage. TM26 is waiting for you to pick. Go through path, defeat Archie and have fun holding the "Z" button to go through those chats. You'll end up on Route 128.

Spoiler

Go into the dive spot north of you and inspect rock to grab Protein here. Go up, then west, defeat the girl Cooltrainer and grab a hidden Heart Scale south of her in here. Guy swimming next to it is worth defeating. Go north-east from him, land on an island to grab a hidden Heart Scale here.

Finally north-west from there to grab a Heart Scale here. Oh and defeat the trainer too.Now gowest to were you beat first cooltrainer girl then go north and beat triathlete girl. Then go north west until you will reach area on Route 126, next to Sootopolis. Let's loot the route first, it has a lot of nice spoils. Dive into it first.

Spoiler

Did I mention that RacheLucario's invaluable post with locations of hidden items was an insane help? Well I guess it won't hurt to write it once again. Anyway, once you dive, go south and you'll get a hidden Antidote here. Dive out close to the entrance to Sootopolis, then go south-west to a location where 2 trainers are looking at each other. Defeat them both then dive into small spot to get a valuable Blue Shard here. Now gonorth and reach the northern-most diving spot, and dive out. Go west when surfing, then south to reach a diving spot with Yellow Shard, Antidote and Iron. Wop! Dive out and return to the original route. Dive in, go east and grab a hidden Heart Scale here. Now go south, and then immediately east. Then, go north and west again to grab a hidden Ultra Ball here. Go out, head east and take hidden Antidote here. Dive out and go north to find 2 trainers staring at each other and beat girl to the right only.Proceed south into Sootopolis.

Spoiler

Lol talk with Steven and you'll land in Cave of Origin. It's straightforward so I won't even list it. Dig out when you're done, fly to Mossdeep then head south. Once you get to route 129the 2nd and 3rd trainers are girl boytriathletes they are swimming around near each other(beat them). Keep going west until you see a guy on top and a girl at bottom swimmingtowards each other vertically (beat triathlete girl only) then go all the way west to reach Pacifidlog town.

Spoiler

Go into south-west house and chat with chairman to get Return TM. We have to mark this checkpoint for later. Now go east and through northern-most edge, to find your way into Sky Pillar. Be careful of those f*cking swimmers. Path is straightforward. Wake up Rayq and then fly to Sootopolis. Chat with Maxie, Wallace (he gives you the Waterfall HM) and Archie, then go into north-west house to get a TM31. Now go inside the gym.
